Chop’d goes beyond quick-service foods, showcasing J’can artisans

Known for its fresh salads, bowls, sammies, and wraps, Chop’d is more than just a spot for fresh and customisable meals.

Located in the heart of Barbican, the quick-service food spot is now offering artisanal goods from a wide variety of local vendors to create a truly authentic Jamaican dining experience.

This comes as no surprise, given Uncorked’s early support of Stush in the Bush before they had a permanent location.

The suppliers cover the gamut of artisanal goods, from jams and jellies to breads and rolls.

“Some of our key suppliers include Netty’s Farm, Tropicks 365, Just Soup and Bread, Bite Me, Tropical Euphoria Honey, Lady Bee Mixology, Mel’s Sticky Jams, Chilly Witch Ice Cream and Kelly’s Pepper Jelly,” says Robyn-Kay Campbell, Chop’d’s marketing and communications officer.

Local suppliers now have the opportunity to experiment, test new ideas, and bring their products to a wider audience.

For Lady Bee Mixology, it has provided the opportunity to bring its seasonal cocktails and popsicles to an additional market.

“We offer seasonal cocktail pouches based on what is available at the time as well as seasonal popsicles. So at Chop’d you’ll find our ‘golden hour’ which has sorrel, strawberry basil and red rum. We also have tequila and white rum cocktail pouches and popsicles,” said Lady Bee Mixology principal Nadean Huxtable.
