I was introduced to this place as Famous Pete's. It was on my very first visit to Negril in 1999 and provided a great memory and my first lesson in soon come. I was there as part of a group of 40, mostly newbies, for a wedding and one evening early in our stay a bunch of us wandered down the beach looking for a late dinner. The bride had been to Negril several times and really wanted some pumpkin soup and had eaten at Pete's before. When we got to Pete's there was was nothing going on but we were assured that dinner for eight with pumpkin soup would be "no problem mon". We ordered drinks and eventually they came. I think they had to run to the store to get them. By then we were more than ready to order dinner. Our choices were fish and chicken. Again I think they ran to the store after we ordered and roughly an hour later our soup arrived and was served with a flourish. "Pumpkin soup for de lady, conch soup for de gentleman, shrimp soup for you etc. Of course it was all the same soup with some of everything in each bowl. Eventually the dinners came and the food was good if unremarkable. But the evening and the company were fantastic and the memory lives on.
