Born on the vibrant island of St. Kitts, Esmie never imagined that food would become her lifelong passion. In her younger years, she was the last to volunteer in the kitchen, never considering that her love for cooking would come later in life. But after moving to the UK at the age of 20, she found herself drawn to the flavors and traditions of her Caribbean roots, inspiring her to bring the warmth and soul of island cuisine to a new audience.

In 2004, Esmie took a bold step into the world of street food, starting with humble beginnings but quickly gaining recognition for her unique take on Caribbean flavours. It was her fried dumpling burger that truly put her on the map, becoming a fan favourite and a symbol of her creativity and culinary innovation. With an unwavering commitment to excellent food, outstanding service, and great customer value, Esmie built a brand that became known and loved far beyond its origins.

Today, Esmies Caribbean Fusion continues to thrive under the leadership of her daughter, Heaven-Leigh, who carries on her mother’s passion with a modern twist. Infusing the same bold flavours, authentic recipes, and warm hospitality, Esmies remains a go-to destination for those craving a true taste of the Caribbean. Whether it’s a plate of island comfort food or a handcrafted Caribbean cocktail, every dish tells a story of heritage, heart, and family.

At Esmies Caribbean Fusion, the journey from street food to a beloved dining experience is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and the rich flavours of the Caribbean.
