Situated between colourful and trendy Camberwell Green and Brixton, Amaryllis Bar and Kitchen is a reflection of the area's diverse culture and lively nightlife. Unusually, this relaxed venue offers a choice of classic Caribbean dishes such as jerk chicken, curry goat and plantain, as well as a comprehensive list of Chinese dishes, including a great-value starter platter comprising spring rolls, sesame prawn toast, vegetable samosas and spare ribs - delicious. To accompany such exotic cuisine, the bar boasts the most impressive selection of rum I have ever seen, featuring raisin, coffee and pineapple-flavoured varieties.

The meat is bought fresh from Smithfield Market and its quality speaks for itself. The organic chicken - unheard of at this price - is wonderfully succulent, and only the finest cuts of goat meat are used. The plantain is truly delicious and the Chinese dishes are equally appetising and authentic - this combination of cultures makes Amaryllis truly one of a kind.

Aside from the food, a highlight of the Amaryllis experience is the selection of events that are regularly held; events include King's College Has Talent, where staff from the neighbouring King's College Hospital show off their myriad skills. Another sensation is the urban variety show on the first Friday of every month, where rappers, dancers, comedians and singers bring the dancehall-variety-show tradition hurtling into the 21st Century.

Amaryllis is perfect for parties, as well as being a good place to fill up on your favourite hearty grub; the servings here are so generous that you are certain to be left feeling more than full and satisfied. Luckily the staff at Amaryllis are happy to supply containers to ensure your leftovers go home with you. At Amaryllis, you'll find great-value, satisfying food with something for everyone. Have a party, a quiet evening meal or attend one of the entertaining events for a night out with a difference.
