Who We Are

Flava Pepper is based in the heart of Brixton Hill, London, and managed by Shakira & Jason Howard. Together, they bring over 40 years of combined industry experience to the home of Caribbean cuisine.

Flava Pepper was established in September 2024 and opened its doors in October 2024 in London, United Kingdom. With a mission to share authentic Caribbean food with the community, our presence quickly became known to locals in Brixton and beyond the UK.

Our Roots, Our Food, Our Vibe

Drawing from the backgrounds of both owners — Barbadian/Vincentian and Barbadian/Jamaican — Flava Pepper was swiftly embraced by Barbadians in the UK because of its deep respect for culture and heritage.

Saturdays are where our heart and soul shine brightest, filled with traditional Barbadian dishes such as Pudding & Souse, Cou-cou & Steam Fish, along with other delicacies like Coconut Sweet Bread, Black Cake, and Cassava Pone — just to name a few.
(Please pre-order to avoid disappointment.)

At Flava Pepper, our mission is to provide a service that feels like a home away from home.
Great Food, Great Drinks & Awesome Vibes!

See you soon!
