Welcome
FROM SMALL EATIERS, GREAT RESTAURANT GROW
Leaning against a large African neem tree I planted decades ago at the Deco Stop Bar, where I stop for a “sasparilla” every now and then, I look out and see the striking plastic awnings and terra cotta style cement floors of Rum Runners. Ha! What do these young guys know about rum running today? Real rum running was in 1958, white label, camels and black lace lady’s stockings!
I couldn’t help but wonder if the new crew has ever asked their guests to help in the galley. The fatter the ladies, the better the cooks, and I always had a kitchen full of them. Disappearing forks were always a problem, so I introduced chopsticks. And during nasty weather, we dined in our wetsuits. Many great folks ate here at this restaurant because we served terrific food. Some things never change, but with professionals and new facilities, I still sense the old aura is here, and alive, where the world’s finest folks and divers still hang out.

Note: at Rum Runners we do utmost to work with fresh ingredients only. However, being on a small remote island means that these are not always available. If this is the case, our chef will adjust the dish accordingly. For this we ask you understand. No service charge will be added to your check.
