"When chef Nathaniel Mortley announced that he was opening a restaurant that aimed to celebrate Caribbean culture in style and to win a Michelin star, his loyal Instagram following, as well as their families and friends, took the brief and dressed accordingly. As fancily plated ackee and saltfish spring rolls passed by, as well as a lot of rum punch, I rustled in my handbag for some bigger earrings and more makeup."
"Mortley began cooking as a teenager his mother's an accountant and his father a businessman and he went on to work at the likes of Oblix and Jason Atherton's City Social, but then circumstances led him to spend some time at Her Majesty's Pleasure in Brixton HMP. Dwelling on this prison stint may seem a bit churlish, not least in light of quite how utterly classy 2210 is, but those jail years are a pivotal part of Mortley's origin story."
2210 By Natty Can Cook in Herne Hill presents elevated Caribbean food served as a celebratory, stylish dining experience with diners dressing up for the occasion. The menu features dishes such as ackee and saltfish spring rolls, confit pork belly with scotch bonnet mayo, lobster rasta pasta, carrot and plantain bhajis, thin crisp roti with scotch bonnet butter, red snapper with corn salsa and jerk chicken with brown butter mash. The restaurant emerged from Nathaniel Mortley's progression after the Greyhound pub and reflects his culinary training at establishments including Oblix and City Social, alongside a formative spell at Brixton HMP.
