Matin and Michelle Miah, the husband and wife team behind Rudie’s Jerk Shack, have just announce the launched of their third site in Brixton Village this November.
The couple will bring their unique and authentic take on Jamaican cuisine to Brixton, with the return being particularly significant to Michelle who spent a lot of time in the South London Borough visiting her grandmother.
Split across two levels, the 50-cover restaurant, with indoor and outdoor table service, will be located in Market Row and will see Michelle once again draw on her Jamaican heritage to create a menu that is full of innovative, authentic dishes packed full of flavour.
Joining the two hugely popular grab-and-go shacks at Boxpark Shoreditch and Borough Market, Rudie’s Brixton Jerk Shack will mark a return to the full-service format of the much-loved Rudie’s Dalston, which closed.
The menu at Brixton will feature their famed ‘Real Jerk’, with meats and fish marinated for 24 hours in their secret blend of herbs and spices, before being grilled and smoked slowly over charcoal in a steel drum. Traditional Jamaican street food dishes will be given the contemporary Rudie’s treatment alongside a well-stocked Rum bar featuring their renowned Rum Punch.
Of the launch Michelle said, ‘This is a very personal launch for us. Having spent a lot of my childhood days in Brixton with my Jamaican grandma, I know that authenticity and flavour is key when serving Jamaican dishes.
'Matin and I have spent years travelling to Jamaica, researching, tasting and trying as much as possible and we are so proud of what we have created. I can’t wait to bring our take on Jerk the people of Brixton to try it’.
