Plantation Smokehouse an addition to Sharkies Seafood Restaurant, is a part of its owner and CEO, Mr Alwyn Brown’s fleet of concepts on the island’s north coast. The property which was designed and constructed to reflect Jamaica’s rich history in food, music and natural landscape will be able to accommodate approximately 2000 guests as they bask not just in the architecture but traditional authentic Jamaican jerk and grilled style of cooking.

As a part of celebrating the grand opening, its owner has enlisted Freddie McGregor, one of Jamaica’s most soulful and durable figures in reggae music. Known since the ’80s for some of the nation’s most iconic music, Mr. McGregor’s’ artistry captures true Rastafarian roots, reggae-lovers rock, Ska with even a hint of dancehall, ragga and dub.
