Pepper Shack

What can I say about the pepper shack? If you want real Trinidadian food then this is the place. We had the San Fernando Spice Prawns and Panko Prawns Verna's Curried Goat Spiced Rum Panacotta Banoffee Pie. If you are brave enough ask to try Verna's hot pepper sauce. We ended up buying 2 jars to take back home. You must try the Cocktails Brixham Painkiller 3 types of rum are in it. And Planters punch Thank you Verna and John for a lovely evening. P.s the views over the harbour are wonderful

We were a hen party of 4 going out for a civilised meal. Absolutely fantastic service, we arrived and the lovely gentleman server even moved a table for us so we could sit with a sea view, totally unprompted! We were offered a delicious complementary free starter while waiting and the cocktails were delicious. The food arrived promptly and the spicy prawns were wonderfully fragrant, not insanely spicy but a pleasant amount of heat and the jerk chicken with rice and peas was delicious, authentic and a good portion size. The chef and server both visited our table to check everything was ok with our meal and we couldn’t have been happier with the quality of the food, the price and level of service we received. Thanks for making a memorable evening. Also worthy of note, the restaurant has artwork, beautiful handcrafted jewellery and even costumes for sale. Worth bringing extra pocket money and bringing some of the magic home for the memories!

This is one of the hidden gems in Torquay! I's rare to find a well run family business but this one exceeded our expectations on a number of fronts. Firstly the young daughter greeted us with a warm friendly smile and we were seated promptly. The father was also very polite and welcoming and brought us out some delicious complimentary Pholourie Verna’s popular Apple & Garlic Trini dumplings. The food was amazing and fresh and came out promptly. We had the Chicken curry Rotti, coconut rice and peas, salad, Potato and Chick pea Rotti and Fried Plantain. All of which were to die for! My only gripe is that I cannot manage dessert (my own fault)! Although we didn't get to meet Verna we have to say her cooking was magnificent and you can tell from the presentation and taste of the food that she is passionate about cooking her customers high quality and great tasting food! I would also like to add that all the staff there were very welcoming with our young 5 month old baby girl, who occasionally screamed with glee. And last but not least, the restaurant also offers a lovely view of the harbour. Too bad they are planning on retiring soon, so get there before they do!

First time eating at a Caribbean restaurant and it won't be the last. The food was spicy (not hot) and full of flavour. We chose different things off the menu and tried each others, agreeing that we liked the all the dishes. There is a wide selection of cocktails to help things along, so we did! Nice owners and I'd recommend a visit.

We booked quite last minute as it was.my wife's birthday and everything else seemed booked. I am glad they were because we had a wonderful evening here. We are a lover of Caribbean food and my wife has been a chef so we can be fussy. No problems the food was wonderful and for once a good selection for vegetarians / vegans. Owner and all the staff were attentive and helpful. Portions were plentiful and arrived timely with no rush. But the food was a stand out star. So tasty. Wonderful. Oh, and a lovely view into the harbour.

We had an amazing meal here with the best table in the house, the window table looking out over the harbour. Complimentary apple and garlic dumplings for the table, big juicy spiced prawns and paratha to start, then Trinidad spicy chicken washed down with local lager. Attentive service from John. Honestly the best Trinidad meal I have had.
