When we started out in 2017, we were cheffing up from the courtesy of our home in Portsmouth. It was all great fun and games until customers started showing up to our house for food collections… From there, we took a leap of faith, and a few box meals later, we had our very own market stall on Commercial Road. This was big for us. It was the first time we could connect with the community on a 1:1 basis and actually see customers fall in love after that first bite. Naturally, the food did it’s job, and as word spread, our small gazebo became a local sensation, bringing people together over plates of smoky and spicy delights.Spicing Up the CommunitySince 2017, our "fambily" has been serving up a modern twist on Jamaican cuisine and the community has been our rock. Come down to our 'Shack' in Portsmouth to experience where it all began and feel the vybez!

• Chinese • Fareham
Originally known as Riverside Chinese Restaurant, the restaurant has been open since 1993. With the help of many within the local community we have managed to gather a fond following from the residents of Bursledon and the surrounding areas of Locks Heath, Warsash, Whitely, Hedge End and Hamble. In 2017 we went through a large scale refurbishment and rebranded ourselves as Little Canton. As a restaurant and takeaway with a delivery service and, uniquely, a dance floor and disco on weekends, we have always been perfectly placed to reach our customers at various junctures of their daily lives. Whether they are in the mood for restaurant quality food on a quiet night at home, a nice quiet meal out with friends and family in comfortable surroundings, or a place to let loose, party and dance the night away after a long week, we have always been there ready to serve.
