The smoke has a story

From roadside stand to north-coast landmark.

In 1999, Leslie and Iris Talbot took over a modest jerk stand from a local legend known as “African.” They kept the recipes alive and built a Discovery Bay institution.

The signature is patient cooking, deep smoke and a splash of Red Stripe beer—a technique backed by staff training in Portland's Boston Jerk tradition. In 2024, Red Stripe marked the Centre's 25-year journey with a long-standing customer award.

The signature three

Chicken.
Pork.
Rabbit.

The classics bring the crowd. The jerk rabbit makes the memory. It is a rare menu find on Jamaica's north coast—and regulars know to ask before it sells out.
