As the eastern parish of St. Philip takes its turn in the national spotlight for We Gatherin’ Barbados there is a rich and flavourful food scene that is waiting to be explored. From the rustic charm of Dis Ole House to the laid-back seaside experience at Cutters, St. Philip is providing that it is a go-to culinary destination.
Tucked away in the heart of St. Philip is De Old House, a beautifully restored chattel house that has a welcoming atmosphere and scrumptious Barbadian meals. De Old House allows visitors and locals alike to enjoy some of Barbados’ traditional meals such as Barbados’ national dish cou-cou and flying fish or rice and peas and beef stew. Each meal is prepared with care, honouring age-old Barbadian recipes.
The food scene in St. Philip is not just the cuisine that is offered but the way in which persons gather and engage in conversation with persons they may not know as they pass the wait time for their meals. One such place that the atmosphere is evident is at Cutters. Cutters is known for their delicious fish cutters and refreshing rum punch and is located just a stone throw away from Crane Beach.
While Cutters and Dis Ole House are the more popular food establishments, there is no shortage of food in the parish as there are many roadside vendors and village shops that offer delicious meals at affordable prices. One such place is the Pasta Spot, which is located in Ruby Park, St. Philip which offers delicious pasta dishes that are packed with flavour.
In St Philip, food is not just something we eat, it is how we live, love and celebrate. We Gatherin gives us a chance to reconnect with our family and our roots and there is no better way to do that than over ap late of food made with heart. Whether you are enjoying a home cooked meal, sipping rum punch at cutters, or picking your favourite snack from Emerald City or the JB Simpson Complex, every bite is a reminder of who we are. So come long home and grab a belly full.
