Our STORY

Island House Catering by Jermaine was born from a simple but powerful truth: Caribbean food is meant to be shared—with love, with pride, and with community. What began as Jermaine’s personal passion for cooking quickly transformed into a purpose-driven mission to bring the true taste of the islands to families, events, and celebrations throughout our community.

Growing up, food wasn’t just nourishment—it was a central part of life. It was the smell of seasonings drifting through the home, the sound of laughter during Sunday dinners, and the way everyone gathered around the table, no matter the occasion. Those memories shaped Jermaine’s culinary journey and became the foundation of Island House Catering.

With every dish, Jermaine recreates the flavors he grew up with—recipes passed down, perfected, and cherished. From the slow-cooked oxtail to the bold heat of jerk seasoning, his cooking honors the depth and soul of Jamaican culture. Island House Catering is not just a business; it is a reflection of Jermaine’s heritage, his heart, and his lifelong love for feeding others.
