The London winners at the Deliveroo Restaurant Awards 2024 have been announced following a fan-led online vote for the best takeout food available via the delivery service. The capital’s big winner was Peckham-based Caribbean fusion spot White Men Can’t Jerk, which scored the prize for Independent Restaurant of the Year Greater London. The award was judged by food critic Jimi Famurewa.
The brand’s cofounders, Steven Byrne and Dave Olszak, said of the win: ‘To have won Independent Restaurant of the Year Greater London 2024 against such stiff competition is truly humbling. We’ve been proudly serving our jerk chicken to the communities of south London since 2017, and we would not be here without the support of our customers and partners like Deliveroo.
‘We have big ambitions for 2024 and beyond, so this win and recognition will help us on our way to achieving those – watch this space!’ You can find White Men Can’t Jerk in a permanent residency at south London’s Prince of Peckham pub.
