5 Meals For A Fiver: Shepherd’s Bush
From Jamaican patties, to dumpling burgers, to sandwiches the size of your head. Here’s how to spend £5 in W12.
This spot on Uxbridge Road is apparently RiRi’s go-to Caribbean spot in Shepherd’s Bush. Their menu has everything from fish tea soup, to curry goat and jerk chicken, and excellent Jamaican patties with a choice between meat, chicken, fish, and vegetables for £2.50 a pop. Our favourite of the patties is the meat. It’s peppery, warming, and - surprise, surprise - meaty, but the chicken is also a great choice, and a little lighter. You’ll always find a queue of at least two people before you, but the wait is usually quick, and the food is definitely worth it.
