Plantain Papi
27.1 miles from East Grinstead
Plantain Papi is the world’s first plantain bar and plantain-based kitchen, rooted in Caribbean and African traditions while reimagining plantain for a modern audience. We believe plantain is an untapped cultural superfood — a staple across the Caribbean, African, and Latin American diaspora, now being brought to the western forefront like never before.
Plantain is naturally rich in fibre, potassium, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, and B6, making it both nutritious and versatile. Whether enjoyed savoury or sweet, it offers a healthier, more exciting alternative to typical snack foods and desserts.
Our menus showcase this versatility through signature stuffed plantain balls, crushed guacamole plantain plates, classic fried plantain, and indulgent dessert plantain drizzled with luxury chocolate and salted caramel. Each dish is designed to take guests on a cultural journey through flavour, blending heritage with innovation.
We specialise in catering for corporate functions, weddings, and private events and Street food pop-ups curating food experiences that spark conversation, joy, and connection. At Plantain Papi, plantain is more than just an ingredient — it’s a celebration of culture, community, and the next global superfood trend.
