Pumpkin Rice

Pumpkin Rice brings Caribbean and Jamaican cooking to New Barnet's Greenhill Parade on the Great North Road, a short walk from New Barnet rail station. The jerk grill menu centres on slow-marinated chicken and pork, rice and peas, plantain and classic Jamaican sides — a genuinely rare offer in a suburb where South Asian and Chinese cooking dominate the takeaway market. The business holds a five-star customer rating on the platforms where it appears, a level of satisfaction that consistent quality achieves. Open Tuesday through Saturday evenings, closed Sunday and Monday. The Great North Road position gives the kitchen visibility on the commuter-heavy stretch linking New Barnet to High Barnet, and delivery reaches the surrounding EN5 postcodes. Genuine Jamaican jerk cooking — slowly marinated, properly spiced, not a diluted version — is exceptional across the whole Barnet Borough; Pumpkin Rice addresses a real gap for the local Caribbean community and curious diners alike.
