Harden's says

Chef Kerth Gumbs, from the tiny West Indian island of Anguilla (pop 15,000), is bringing some unusual Caribbean hints to this new, modern British tasting-menu restaurant Boiler & Co, which opened behind Tate Modern in Southwark in January 2022. Takeaway coffee from Kiss the Hippo is also available.

* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

“Imaginative Caribbean fine dining” is an unlikely find at any time – particularly considering the bland location of Anguilla-born Kerth Gumbs’s Bankside newcomer, which opened in early 2022 amidst the anonymous glass-fronted offices behind Tate Modern. The Evening Standard’s Jimi Famu thought his east Caribbean-inspired tasting menu to be “dumbfoundingly good… laser-honed… top end” cuisine, while one early reporter questions “is this a potential Michelin star at some stage”. Definitely “worth trying”.

"Some plates were nice. Some place below basic standards. The humous was inedible due to too much salt. They do not clearly label food. For example, a fish dish we ordered had pork in the sauce but that was not indicated in the menu."
