"Nestled in Skelmanthorpe Community Centre, this Jamaican food pop up is a great addition to the village of Skelmanthorpe. Food is authentic and service is friendly and prompt. We had a nice chat about what different menus could be available in the future and will definitely be back to try. The food was spicy but still full of flavour and taste and I would recommend every item on the menu."

"We called in on Thursday after finding OliveMae’s Kitchen on Facebook. We were greeted warmly as if we had known each other for ages. Although quiet when we visited the music and ambience were perfect for a lunchtime visit. Our food arrived promptly and piping hot and service with a smile is an understatement!! My wife ordered the large jerk chicken rice and peas whilst I got the medium jerk chicken rice and peas and a portion of the fried chicken. The portions were massive and when we pointed this out the owner laughed and told us she “was known for having heavy hands”!!! The food was well cooked and the flavours were amazing!! We usually travel to Oldham for our jerk chicken fix but we have now found a firm favourite here so much so that we ordered Curry Goat and Chickpea Curry to take out for lunch the following day. If you love your Caribbean food this is the place you need to visit. We cannot wait to return."

"Just ordered for the first time. Got the goat curry and the jerk chicken and rice for my brother. Lovely stuff. Very good portion sizes. Good price as well. Will be back to try out the fried chicken and chickpea curry also next time! Edit. Went for the fried chicken and chickpea curry. The chicken has so much flavour!! The chickpea curry is also great. Did me two meals!"

"These were at Todmorden market for the Friday Meet Market and I had the Curried Goat and it was delicious. The 2 people on the stall were friendly and went out of their way to check the ingredients to make sure it was safe for someone with allergies. I found out that they are on Hebden Bridge Market on Saturdays and Sundays, I will definately be popping over for more of theor food."
