Christmas Has Officially Arrived at Jerk Centre!
There are two types of people at Christmas. Those who quietly put up a tree, and those who embrace every excuse to get festive. If you know anything about us by now, you’ll know exactly which category we fall into!
At Jerk Centre, we don’t believe in doing Christmas by halves. The decorations, the music, the questionable Christmas jokes and the inevitable excuse to dress up are all part of the fun.
Even our four larger-than-life characters have joined the celebrations! Badman, Duppy Conqueror, Taste from the Ancestors and Yardie Drizzle have traded their usual serious expressions (well, attitudes!) for Christmas hats. Badman and Yardie have even managed to get themselves into a Christmas cracker showdown.
We’ve put together a little festive video to mark the occasion. It’s our way of spreading some Christmas cheer, Jerk Centre style. And knowing us, it’s probably the first of many!
Christmas Markets, Here We Come!
Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a little hustle, bustle and the wonderful atmosphere of a festive market.
We’re looking forward to trading at a number of Christmas markets in the run-up to the big day, meeting familiar faces, making new friends and sharing a little Jamaican flavour along the way.
There’s something genuinely special about trading during the festive season. The twinkling lights, the Christmas music, people searching for thoughtful gifts and those spontaneous conversations that turn complete strangers into friends.
We’ll be announcing our upcoming Christmas market dates and locations shortly in our blog, so you’ll know exactly where to find us.
And, of course, there will be plenty of opportunities for photographs. After all, Christmas memories deserve to be captured
No FOBLO! We’re Getting Dressed Up Too!
Now, we couldn’t possibly let our Jerk Centre characters have all the Christmas fun, could we?
Elka and Vince are currently awaiting the arrival of their very own Christmas hats and crackers because, quite frankly, we have a serious case of FOBLO — Fear Of Being Left Out!
We don’t need much encouragement to dress for an occasion. Halloween, Christmas, a themed celebration — give us half an excuse and we’ll find something to wear.
We love bringing a little humour and personality to our market stall. Life is far too short to take everything seriously, and if we can make somebody smile while they’re visiting us, then that’s another good reason to get out of bed in the morning.
So, should you spot two people behind a Jerk Centre gazebo wearing Christmas hats and getting slightly overenthusiastic with a Christmas cracker, do come over and say hello.
It’ll almost certainly be us!
One Christmas Video? Oh, We're Just Getting Started!
Our latest little Christmas video brings together some of our favourite things: our sauces, our wonderfully mischievous characters, a sprinkling of Christmas magic and, naturally, a bit of fun.
But don’t expect this to be our final festive creation.
We’re already enjoying ourselves far too much, and once we get an idea into our heads, there’s usually another one waiting just behind it.
There will undoubtedly be more Christmas photographs, more videos, more market adventures and possibly a few moments that make us wonder why we thought something was a good idea in the first place!
But that’s Jerk Centre. We’re building a business, yes, but we’re also making memories, celebrating people and enjoying the journey.
Whether you’ve supported us from our earliest takeaway days or have only just discovered us, we’re delighted you’re here.
Merry Christmas!
From our family to yours, here’s to a Christmas filled with laughter, love, good food and wonderful company.
And remember, at Jerk Centre, there’s always room for one more around the table.
With love, laughter and a little Jamaican fire,
Elka, Vince & the Jerk Centre Family ❤️🎄
