"A taste of Boston Bay, Portland JA", proclaim the signs. On Friday and Saturday nights the metal chimney to the left pumps out an appetising smell of jerk chicken, serving Thornton Heath's big Caribbean community. Early in the morning, of course, it's still shuttered up. In May 2013 the Croydon Advertiser reported that the company running it, and the company's owners, had been fined £30,000 for a series of breaches of food safety regulations.
