A GREENGATES man has turned to his roots to start a popular new food takeaway business serving Caribbean food - and has plenty of admirers. When Malcolm Lewis was left facing an empty calendar and no work last year when the Covid-19 pandemic cancelled the entre events industry, he turned to an idea he’s had on the backburner for a number of years. After an unsuccessful stint as delivery driver, Mr Lewis, from Greengates devised Jus Jerk, a Caribbean food delivery service inspired by recipes and meals from his childhood that he has eaten his entire life. He has teamed up with the New Inn in Calverley, using it as his delivery hub, shipping hot, fresh healthy dishes to Idle, Greengates, Eccleshill, Calverley and other nearby areas for people to enjoy at the weekend.
