Episode 08: Theresa Roberts

What a woman Theresa Roberts is! Born and raised in Jamaica, sent over to the UK by her parents at 7, where she then embarked into the world of art, property and philanthropy in her adult life. She owns what has been regarded one of the most beautiful properties in the Caribbean, in Montego Bay, Jamaica. And if that wasn’t enough, she created and launched the Jamaica Patty Company, selling the most delicious Jamaican patties this side of the Atlantic.We discuss her incredibly idyllic childhood growing up in her home country and her thoughts on the UK when she was brought over as a young girl. Her love of art and entertaining is ingrained in her blood; she supports both Jamaican and British artists and has had the likes of Usain Bolt and Sean Paul at her house, Hanover Grange, in Jamaica!In 2013 she opened the Jamaica Patty Company in Covent Garden, London, which she details as the hardest venture she’s achieved to date.We recorded inside the restaurant and hysterically got interrupted halfway through as Theresa had to go and tell off her staff for not working whilst she had her eye off them!!Please go and visit the Jamaica Patty Company and you’ll understand why her patties and food are the best example of true Jamaican flavour and taste in the UK.@jamaicapattyco26 New Row, Covent Garden, LondonHosted & created by @hannahharleyMusic by @casnova____ Hosted on Acast.
