The Dutchie - Croydon

The dutchie is great for food, the service of lack of it lets it down! There’s no point in booking a reservation as you get seated well after the allotted time. Anyway if you are going for great food then this is the place just know you got to wait for everything!

The drinks are usually strong but it appeared to be watered down this time. Maybe cos it was the weekend? Overall, it was nice!!

Hair in food. Does not seem that cleanly to me.

Service was slow, cocktails were very and the food was ok.. had to wait a while for the mains to arrive.

Good - the food and atmosphere Bad - it took about 40 minutes to get our starter and then we were told that because our starter was so late, our mains would come about 5 minutes after. They didn't, it was another wait. They didn't supply serving plates or tissues with our starter, my sister had to get them herself. Also before we had finished eating they brought the bill to us as the tills were closing (maybe they could've printed our bill but only brought it to us when we asked for it) which ironically wouldn't have been an issue if the food had been quicker. However the food was delicious.

Great food and interesting cocktails! Would go again for sure

The food was presented well but the execution was poor. The fresh fish was frozen and tasteless and the wings/shrimp platter was less than average. The cocktails were weak but probably the best part of the experience. The service was definitely the worst part. They presented the bill and took payment before even clearing the plates. I went on a Wednesday night so they can’t use being busy as an excuse.

Just didnt feel comfortable in there just felt a little to small in therr

Service a bit slow but good in all the food was very good indeed .

Good food and good service but drinks were very pricey

Always a pleasure visiting his restaurant. Food is 10/10. Drinks are 10/10 music 10/10 and Waitors/Waitresses go above and beyond with their customer service. I am always recommending this place to my friends. Thanks again :)

Our visit was amazing has always the fish was awesome calamari Was on point drink veg a bit of Jamaica I luv it my best place in th Uk I luv going

The food, cocktails & service was fabulous. I am looking forward to my next visit.

Nice place lovely food staff not that great overall a nice atmosphere

Lovely service and fantastic quality food. Jamaican excellence all round.

Our waiter Maleek was very nice. Very helpful and friendly. Great service and good food ! Highly recommend.

The food is ALWAYS excellent, fantastic service and ambience from staff memebers. All round great evening.

While as always the food is of the highest quality, sadly, the waiting time to be seated continues to be a challenge for front of house. I had prebooked for 8:30pm and wasn’t offered a table until about 9:15 pm.

Would recommend 💯 Food was delicious, was seated promptly and am definitely going back

Service was poor, food wasn’t great and a service charge added when there wasn’t really any service

Great experience food was nice would definitely come back again

Great food, loved the flavours literally a real taste of Jamaica cannot fault the food at all. Food came out steaming hot just the way I like it. Only downfall I had was the cocktail sizes are not not worth the money. I'm pretty sure they have halved the glasses. Because I remember getting a proper size cocktail when I visited before. But the cocktails are very tasteful. Customer service on point and service time was just right. Thank you Dutchie

Very accommodating this is my second time here at Dutchie for 2 birthday family meals. The food is tasty and the staff are friendly. Thank you Dutchie! X

Not impressed. Ordered curry goat and it was cold. Sent it back, and it was still cold when it came back. Sent it back again..Came back hot but full of bone. My date couldn't believe the poor service and referred to the surroundings as "ghetto". Have given Dutchie 3 tries and still disappointed with the slow, unprofessional service

Food is very good love coming here and great amount of food the price is decent always leave with my belly full. Plus good customer service

I booked a table and was able to be seated much earlier than i originally requested. Considering the chicken didn't taste like it was BBQ it took long to arrive. All the food came out all on one plate even though we ordered separately so we had to wait for them to bring another plate over. Plantain slightly over priced considering you only get 2 slices. The drinks were nice but slow service...

Food is amazing but waiting times can be very long. Waiters were nice and so is the vibe. Overall a must if you want Caribbean food

Food was good But reception on arrival was rude and unpleasant Drinks order on arrival was incorrect and the same gentleman who was at reception was argumentative re the drinks order Food all n all was good and served fast one downfall is they served main course whilst still eating starter so then it became cold Food is very tasty and has alot of flavor

Great food & atmosphere. Took friends for the first time and they enjoyed it too. Birthday celebration that was enjoyed by all. Be sure to try it out.

Only down side for me was waiting for a table, other than that great atmosphere, family friendly, great music, great food and the staff are friendly. I would return.

We dined here as a party of 4, the atmosphere was great, and the staff were friendly. However, we unfortunately waited a while for the mains, but once they arrived it was worth the wait! The food arrived piping hot, and full of flavour. I had the oxtail, the Mr had the jerk lobster, our little one had the fried wings (starter) with chips, and my Mum had the stuffed steamed fish. We all had a taste of each other's dishes and they were all delicious, however the winner out of them all, was the steamed fish. There was so much choice on the menu- we'll definitely be back to try more dishes!

Good food and atmosphere. Only issue was we had to wait 35 minutes for our table that was booked for 8:30. Good service and friendly staff. Might be an idea to limit bookings to 2 or 2.5 hours. Will be going again

Food was extremely delicious! Had the oxtail, I was very pleased, spice and tenderness just how I like it! Ambience was lovely, good vibe. Waiters were warm and welcoming.. Waiting to be seated and served was awfully long!

Great food and lots of it for a minimal amount. My portion was enough for 2 people. Lovely cocktails I received 2 for the price of one.

The food and cocktails were great, but the service is ridiculously slow.

Poor service this evening. Ended up going to Nandos to get food on time. Waited over 15mins and ignored by waiting staff. Such a shame as food is good but service needs to be improved.

A lovely place in the centre of Croydon, good polite service and nice food, (especially the sweet potato fries which were cooked to perfection). We would go again.

We had an amazing time, food was excellent. Lovely customer service and just good vibes in the place with good music. I will be going back again. Thank you Dutchie’s

Took them 45 minutes to seat us and they didn’t apologise. Overall the food was nice but they need to be better with the customer service I think.

went for my best friends birthday and we was not disappointed! staff and food were excellent.

Good food, relaxed atmosphere and the waiting staff are always polite and attentive without being overbearing. And the 241 cocktails are an added bonus 😀

Food was tasty - bit disappointed as the pinkness of the Jerk Chicken, but overall a very nice meal. Service was great. relaxed, we were not rushed to pay and leave, even though the restaurant was busy. Will return.

Had a lovely time here. The food was wonderful. Would recommend getting the cocktail Paradise

We have been here numours of times. It's our favourite spot as a couple and with friends. Top notch food with 2 for 1 drinks flowing. I can't fault it. They do there best to make sure your happy.

This is the 2nd time i've been to Dutchie and it was as nice as the 1st time, the set out is great and the food and cocktails was great. I would recommend Dutchie to family/friends

A real gem. It’s like the Tardis, looks small on the outside but when you descend the stairs it’s surpridingly spacious with great atmosphere. The food is authentic, well presented and tasty. This was my 3rd visit.

The food was fantastic, the portions were great and the staff were very helpful. The only thing that I feel could be improved on is the furniture, I kept catching my jumper on the bench but other than that I will definately be returning there.

When we arrived they couldn’t find our booking. When we sat down the woman who showed us our table said she’d bring over a drinks menu. After 20 minutes, I had to ask for a drinks menu and call over someone for some service. 15 minutes later we had our cocktails. They were so small and looked like dilute drinks. Eventually, we were able to order to which the waiter was rude and made it hard for me to order an extra side?!!! After an hour of waiting for my food, it came. I didn’t manage to eat it all as I got full after drinking my drink. The music was loud and random people were coming into the restaurant for a drink or two and walking around near where we were sitting. The place isn’t that big for people to come in and waltz around espywhen people are eating their food. I asked for the bill and paid for what I had. No service charge was paid as I didn’t feel the service was good AT ALL! Won’t be returning to this restaurant unfortunately.

The food was fantastic and the so was the music but the wait for our table was almost 25 minute wait. However, staff very friendly.

Busy atmosphere, really good food, authentic, everything was hot and tasty, good portion size, left belly full and very happy! My new favourite restraunt. Cant wait to come back!
