Manchester’s beloved Caribbean gem, Jerk Junction, is set to spice up the Trafford Centre this September.
Known for its authentic and mouth-watering Caribbean cuisine, this Chorlton favourite is expanding its reach to one of Manchester’s busiest shopping destinations.

Their website says that they offer the best Caribbean food outside of the island.
“That means rice and peas, our famous jerk chicken, and longtime favourite curry goat, prepared daily in our on-site jerk house. And it’s always big portions and big love.”
Jerk Junction promises to serve up delicious, juicy spicy dishes, alongside the positive vibes – all put together in an original jerk drum.
