Why Afro-Caribbean food deserves a seat at every corporate table

Food has the power to set the tone for any event. At Jenny’s Jerk Chicken, we believe the meals you serve in boardrooms, conferences or team lunches should say more than “here’s something to eat.” They should tell a story.

Afro-Caribbean cuisine does exactly that. It is not just about bold spices and smoky marinades, it is about heritage, resilience and togetherness. Dishes like jerk chicken, curry goat, rice and peas or fried plantain carry centuries of tradition and flavours from across the African diaspora. They spark conversations, create shared moments and bring warmth into professional spaces.

When corporate catering falls back on the usual sandwiches or canapés, opportunities are missed. Afro-Caribbean food brings something different: connection. It is a reminder of home for some, a discovery for others and a celebration for everyone around the table.

At Jenny’s Jerk Chicken, we take pride in preparing food that is both authentic and event ready. Our menus are designed for boardrooms and breakrooms alike, whether you are hosting a working lunch for ten or a celebration for two hundred. Each dish is cooked with the same care we would use at home, fresh, flavourful and memorable.

For us, catering is not just about filling plates. It is about adding warmth, culture and soul to every professional setting. That is why Afro-Caribbean food does not just deserve a place at your corporate table, it belongs there.
