The warmth and welcome of the Caribbean come to South Bank at this authentic Trinidadian restaurant, bar and beach club.
Located at the quirky Gabriel's Wharf courtyard next to the OXO Tower, Limin's is the only Trinidadian restaurant in central London. You won't find zinging flavors like this anywhere else in this part of the city!
The menu is a mixture of sharing platters and small bites with tons of traditional Trinidadian favourites such as lobster dumplings, jerk chicken, Limin's classic marinated pork ribs and 'doubles', a Trinidadian classic of hand-stretched, fried flatbread with spiced chickpeas, tangy tamarind sauce and sweet mango jam. This is food to be enjoyed with good company, and as many Trinidadian dishes are entirely plant-based it's a great place to eat out if you are looking for delicious, veggie food.
When it comes to the drinks, of course the rum cocktails and punch are stars of the show. Trinidadian owner Sham Mabhir certainly knows a thing or two when it comes to rum!
In the summer months when the bar opens out in the courtyard with its iconic sandy beach bar area, the drinks, music and sand under your feet all come together to create that upbeat island vibe. Limin' (pronounced 'Lime-in') is a Trinidadian expression that refers to relaxing in good company with food, drink, music and lots of laughter. When the warm weather kicks in, this place more than lives up to its name!
In the winter when the beach courtyard is closed, Limin' takes on a whole new look, transforming into the Limin' Winter Lodge. The whole venue gets a snowy mountain makeover complete with plenty of fairylights and fir trees thrown in to give the whole space that festive feeling. The menu also gets a winter upgrade with new dishes making a special appearance such as; Scotch bonnet and Christmas spice glazed ham; a delicious Croque Monsieur with Trini ham, melted cheese and truffle oil and for dessert the Trinidad Christmas cake.
Turn up the heat this year at the Limin Winter Lodge New Year's Eve party. Tickets include a variety of snacks (served until 10pm) including crispy fish and chips and vegan fritters, unlimited tap cocktails and 'ski punch' flowing until 11:45pm when it's time to switch cocktails for a New Year's glass of bubbly, plus DJs and live sax and drummers bringing in the beats. As with all New Year venues in South Bank, follow very carefully the venue's instructions regarding collecting any necessary tickets and wristbands in advance. Early bird tickets £85, from 14 Dec £100. Book your tickets online here
