Jemma's Treehouse
Jemma's Treehouse
We ate at Jemma's last week, and we had a very good meal. There was only one other table of customers, so we received plenty of attention. The food and service were both good.

I understand that Jemma is a strict Seventh-Day Adventist so will not have alcohol on the premises (which is why the restaurant closes from sunset on Friday evenings to sunrise on the Sunday). Someone did tell me that they turn a blind eye if you take your own beer in, but this hasn't been confirmed.

I can confirm it Steve,
We went there and were told to bring our own beer. Coming from a hotel backround I felt quite awkward walking into a restaurant with a six pack in tow, so the first waitress I saw I asked if it was ok, she laughed and said everybody does it and it isn't a problem.
I didn't want to ask why, I just presumed there was some odd licencing laws on Tobago, so thanks for clearing that up for me Steve!!

Hi Andreas,
Jemma's has no liquor license and they are seventh day adventists.
They sell shandy though, lime,ginger or sorrel lemonade with a hint of carib 1.2%
It is no problem however to bring your own booze, saw a group of french yachties a while ago who all had lobster and washed it down with a few bottles of chablis....

Sorry Marc, I have to disagree with you there
We stopped in Jemmas the day we did our island tour, and the food and service was fantastic. The lunch was up there with the best food we had on the island, and the dish of roasted eggplant was gorgeous. The setting was a bit dissappointing as I had gotten the impression that the restaurant enjoyed spectacular views. Maybe it was just where we were sitting, but all I could see was the back of the kitchen, and a tree!!
But it is definitely worth a visit if you are in the Speyside area.

Jemma's is certainly not overpriced! I can honestly say that I had my best meal on the island there. The lobster is simply DIVINE! The Kingfish was out of this world and even the BBQ chicken was excellent. I am very much a food connaisseur and I would go so far as to say that if you miss Jemma's you will miss the most increduble food on Tobago. I have already informed my husband that next year we are going to Jemma's at least TWICE!!
Just Go To Jemma's!!

Hi Terry
I don't know about prices, but it's a fraction of the cost you'll pay in the UK and MUCH fresher and tastier. The best lobster I've had on Tobago was at Ru-B-Lous in Crown Point. The price varies, depending upon the weight, but a big one is more than enough for two of you.

Hi Terry,
Last November it was about £25 and worth every penny. Much more than you would get in the UK.
My wife had 3 over the 10 days we were there, by the end of the week I did not even have to ask, I knew what she would order by the broad grin she had when we walked in.
Hope its not gone up too much
Regards
Kevin
PS since when has Bridport been in the South West??
