I phoned several days before to reserve a table for two for Saturday 5th May at 8pm. I was told by Sam that the earliest table available on that evening would be at 9pm. My partner and myself arrived just after 9pm and were shown to a restaurant room which was situated a few stairs up from the bar area... More

this place has a great formula. Friendly flexible staff, great vibe with dj spinning at the front, tonnes of rare top shelf carribean rum (they type that doesnt usually get exported!), and the food was delicious!

From popping in early to make a reservation, to actually turn up for our meal, never been made to feel so welcome and valued. Yes, tables are a little cramped upstairs, but its Camden.. Live with it... Still plety of space to relax chill and take in the vibes. Wonderful cocktails, with an amazing range of rums... Sadly they keep... More

3 of us had supper at Cottons Camden last night before seeing the mighty Chuck Prophet & the Mission Express at Dingwalls. Jerk fish platter was the standout dish with salt fish fritters a close 2nd. Cuba Libre & Carib beer helped and the staff were right on the money - looking forward to returning soon

We visited here as we had some time before a gig at the nearby Roundhouse and were extremely pleased with the whole experience. It manages to be uber-trendy yet very relaxed at the same time. The menu is interesting both in terms of the drinks and the food and the service was charming. We ended up being late for the... More

I went to Cottons for my birthday and having been there a few years ago was really looking forward to some lovely grub! When we got there we were ushered to a rather strange shaped table and handed menus! The food on offer seemed to be very limited and a total change from when I last went there. Before i'd... More

Visited on Friday evening. Food was not nice, had no taste. However, what made it worse, was the service of 2 particular staff members there. The supervisor Andre, and a short girl, with no manners whatsoever, were very rude people who would not apologise for her disgusting attitude, and rudeness. Andre was very unprofessional, & insisted we pay service charge.... More

Unprofessional and defensive manager. Poor customer service. Food was cold, uncooked and tasteless. No regard for health & safety. Highly overpriced and tried to overcharge us. Only positive aspect was that the service charge was deducted following our complaint.
