Strawberry
Hill is a luxury hotel and restaurant tucked into the cool Blue Mountains
high above Kingston. Owned by Chris Blackmore of Island Records (famous
for 'discovering' Bob Marley), this is a calm refuge where we were lucky
enough to share brunch with the Gurneys on Mark's birthday, after a rather
short night following the celebrations at the wedding reception.
Despite
some colossal hangovers, the spread was just too good to turn down, and
the soothing climate (and hair-of-the-dog cocktails) soon dispersed even
the Best Man's headache. All Jamaican specialities were on offer: jerk
chicken, curried goat, salt fish and ackee to name but a few. |
