Here's a video of them making patties at Niah's

Yum!! Yes, like an empanada.

Patty vendors walk most of the beach if that's where you are staying. On the west end you will need to venture out for patties. When staying on the west end we will sometimes "hire" a local kid we know to get a couple for us for lunch if we don't feel like or have enough time to venture out ourselves.

Don't forget loafs. Like a stuffed coco bread. I love the ackee loaf from OUT OF TOWN

Oh, my. I think I need one now. We will be at Couples Negril. Any recommendations close by?

Niah's - the finished product. Soooooo good :)

Is Neville still selling them on the beach?

I believe I saw him last week in front of Treehouse in the afternoon.

Last trip my bf and I tried so long to find veggie patties (we r vegetarian) and it was so frustrating because we couldn't find any for DAYS. Finally found the patty man on the beach and they were so delish!!

My vote is for Sonia's across from the beach road near Rooms I believe. Her calaloo patties are mouth watering yum. The ackee loaf sounds wonderful. Where is Out of Town??
