They do great chicken and you can refill your drink as many times as you want. That's a bit of a draw, really.

I love the way you can dress up chicken in so many different ways, and the salad in there is so nice.

It's a Caribbean restaurant, all West Indian food. I'm so boring, I always get the same thing everywhere I go, here I always have either jerk chicken or lamb with sweet potato rice.

I love their sausage and mash with onion gravy and butter for the mash; that's it for me. I'm so bad with the appropriate drinks for foods, but I'd have a JD and Coke.

The food here is like tapas. You get all these pretty little dishes and you can pick at them all. As a smoker, my food has to appeal to me visually before I put it in my mouth; my appetite has to be fired before I eat anything.

My favourite fish restaurant is actually in America, but in London it's The Seashell. It's the oldest fish and chip shop in London. I used to go to school at the top of that road, so every lunchtime there'd be 20 of us in there.
