↓ The story behind the bird

One pelican. Five flags. One pot.

TCP — say it tee-cee-pee — runs out of Hackney but the recipes have passport stamps. Jerk from Jamaica, doubles from Trinidad, pepperpot from Guyana, jerk fish from Dominica. We don't pick a side. We feed everyone.

"Pelican keeps food in its pouch.
So do we — for whoever turns up hungry."

Fire up tonight.

Hackney home base. Pop-ups across London — Brixton, Camden, Stratford, Peckham. Wherever there's a queue and a power lead, the smoke goes up.

↓ How we cook

Spice that hits before it bites.

Real jerk isn't a sauce — it's a fire and a wood. We grill over pimento (allspice) wood, the way it's done in the Boston Bay shacks of Portland, JA. The smoke does half the work. The marinade — scotch bonnet, allspice berries, thyme, scallion, ginger — does the rest.

Veg? We see you. Our jerk tofu uses the same rub, same fire, same patience. Ital is part of this food culture, not a token.

Heat — ask for hotter

Catch the truck.
