Uncle Jess

Uncle Jess is a pizza and Caribbean takeaway on Scotland Road in Everton, combining two cuisines rarely found together in Liverpool's takeaway landscape. The Caribbean side of the menu — jerk chicken, rice and peas, plantain and the spiced dishes of the West Indies — is the distinctive element, sitting alongside a more conventional pizza and kebab offer. Scotland Road has a deep history in Liverpool's working-class communities, and Uncle Jess serves a neighbourhood that has become increasingly diverse over the decades. The Caribbean offer fills a genuine gap in the north Liverpool takeaway landscape, where West Indian cooking is less commonly found than on the other side of the city.
