Good Vibez Jerk Centre

You’ll quickly get where Good Vibez’s name comes from when you take one spoonful of its steaming hot, lazily tender curry goat on a dreary Wednesday lunchtime. The Caribbean spot on Deptford High Street is a favourite among locals—teenagers stop in for a quick cheesy beef patty, workers for a chat and a lunchbox heaving with rice and peas. The food is homely and flavoursome, with standouts being a fruity homemade jerk sauce and that patiently stewed curry goat. If you aren’t in a rush there’s a counter and a few tables and chairs to pitch up and dig in. It’s a basic but comfortable setup and a sofa in a takeaway is always going to be met with our approval.
