Since moving to Chorlton, The Drop has become one of our 'go to' takeaways and, when the mood takes us, restaurants to visit. Always reasonably priced (especially in January when they have had offers on this year and in the past!), with really tasty Carribbean food, I'd highly recommend it either as a takeaway or as somewhere to eat in.

On the takeaway side of things, me and my partner usually order a hench box between us, along with some extra dumplings. And that's usually enough for the two of us! We're big fans of the goat in particular, but the jerk chicken is also good. We tend to get a takeaway from here every couple of months or so, and have no complaints at all about any of them - the food is always great.

On eating in, again our experience has always been great! However, you can expect it to be quite busy and tight for space at times (it's not the biggest restaurant, size wise). This is especially the case around weekends or when an offer is on. If you aren't a fan of bustle then it might not be for you, but me and my partner quite like that side of it - it really adds to the atmosphere I'd say, personally.

The food is great and when we last visited, we had the curried goat, the pepper steak with spinners, some rice and peas, and dumplings. It all tasted fab - strong flavour, a nice kick of spice without being overpowering, with plenty of the rice and dumplings to mop up the sauce. It was fantastic, and we both finished our plates which was no mean feat, as they were generous portions!

There's a range of drinks you can get alongside the meal, and when we last visited we stuck with the beers. However, they also do a range of cocktails too.

We visited during the January food offer, so for our two drinks, mains and sides, plus service, it came to just over £30. An absolute bargain, for what we got! And definitely reasonable at full price too.

Service when we visited was also good, with the caveat that the place is very busy and so it can feel a bit chaotic at times (which isn't a bad thing as I think it adds to the charm!). But on quite a hectic evening with the restaurant pretty full, we were seated, had our order taken, were served our food, and paid without any problems and with good service throughout.

All in all, a really good place to either dine in or get a takeaway, and during January a must visit as it is an absolute bargain!
