Explore the powerful story of Caribbean food and its lasting impact on Britain in Windrush Food Culture, a major exhibition examining how the Windrush Generation reshaped the nation’s tastes, traditions and cultural identity.
From jerk chicken at carnival to patties on the high street and sorrel at festive tables, Caribbean cuisine has become a defining part of Britain’s everyday life. Behind these familiar flavours lies a deeper history of migration, memory and resilience — a story this exhibition brings vividly to life.
Developed in collaboration with the National Windrush Museum, the exhibition traces how food became a source of comfort, survival, celebration and resistance for those who arrived in post-war Britain. Through personal stories, cultural artefacts and immersive displays, it explores how culinary traditions were preserved, adapted and shared across generations.
More than a celebration of food, the exhibition reveals how kitchens, markets and community spaces became sites of identity, creativity and connection. It offers a rich and layered perspective on the Windrush legacy, showing how culture is carried, transformed and sustained through everyday practices.
Located within the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, the exhibition forms part of a wider programme exploring the histories and contributions of Caribbean communities in Britain, offering visitors a thoughtful and engaging cultural experience.
Opening Times: Tuesday to Saturday, 11:00am – 4:00pm
Admission: Free entry
