Dumplins Chicken Split Shop

Dumplins Chicken Split Shop on Ashton Road in Droylsden brings Caribbean cooking to a corner of Tameside better known for Indian and Chinese kitchens. The jerk chicken split — a distinctive Caribbean dish of slow-cooked or grilled chicken served in a fried dumpling — is the centrepiece of the menu, and the Ashton Road address has housed Caribbean cooking for a number of years under evolving names. The kitchen serves a community that includes a Caribbean diaspora well established in the Manchester area, and the cooking style is authentic to the tradition rather than adapted for the broader market.
