Hit The Belly

Tucked away in Bicester, Hit The Belly brings proper Caribbean energy to the takeaway scene. This place has built a loyal following for its bold, unfussy cooking that doesn't hold back on flavour. With a Food Hygiene Rating of 5, it's clear they take just as much care in the kitchen as they do with the seasoning.

Expect jerk chicken that's properly charred and smoky, with that signature allspice heat settling in just right. The oxtail stew is another standout — rich, slow-cooked until it falls apart, served with rice and peas that soak up every drop of gravy. Portions are generous, the patties are flaky and golden, and the whole menu leans into the kind of comfort food that hits hard. Hit The Belly delivers across Bicester, making it an easy choice when you need a plate of sunshine on a rainy Oxfordshire evening.
