A True Taste of Jamaica

“Cooking is at the heart of what I do. Rice and Things is not only a restaurant, it is an experience. My dream is that every moment that you spend with us is an authentic taste of Jamaica. You will feel my heart and soul in the atmosphere, the food and the restaurant”

Rice & Things is a lifelong dream of Chef Neufville, a very passionate Jamaican Chef, who believes in authenticity and strives for excellence.
What started out as a take-away referred to by many as a ‘hole in the wall’, became the Rice & Things Exclusive Jamaican Restaurant and Bar.

The Rice and Things team work tirelessly to give you nothing but full satisfaction and value for money. We pride ourselves on the strength of your experience with us.  We hope that through our service and dishes we can strengthen ties within our communities.

“Our aim is for you to experience authentic Jamaican hospitality.  Our goal is excellence!”

Rice and Things Curry Goat is my death row meal. My friends will know that this is a bold statement coming from me, being the biggest foodie that they know. I work for a billionaire whose chef cooks for us everyday, and this is still my death row meal. I’m neither a local nor someone who has lived in Bristol for any period of time. My boyfriend at the time went to UoB , while I went to Newcastle, and introduced me to this heavenly place. In the past 8 years of coming to Bristol, and no longer regularly since I work abroad and only come to the UK about once a year, I cannot do a trip to Bristol without getting a Rice and Things. I can’t go down south and pass the city, without making a detour, and getting a Rice and Things. I will purposely go out of my way, and risk missing my train home, to get my Rice and Things. Not only is this food absolutely incredible, the service is amazing. I turned up at 12, when the shop opened, to get my order, before getting a train home to Mcr at 1. There were already 6 people ahead of me, but when I eventually got to the front and mentioned my tight situation, they were quick to get my order of 4 portions ready for me to make my train to bring this delicious food home to my family. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I of course will be back :)
