Velma’s Place

No-nonsense Bajan fare (l,d; $)

In a delightful location, this country rum-shop-cum-local restaurant offers “sweet-tasting” traditional Bajan fare at local prices. At Velma’s, expect plentiful portions and warm hospitality.

The changing menu is written up on the whiteboard: chicken, fish or sometimes lamb, and souse on Saturdays, of course. Combine with your pick of Bajan starches and carbs: garlic breadfruit, plantain coucou, rice and peas, mac pie.

Eat at the picnic benches or order a take-away.
