Originally from Jamaica, Chef Racquel White has become an integral part of the Charlottesville community. Alongside her husband, she has introduced locals to authentic Caribbean cuisine, serving beloved dishes like Oxtail, Jerk Chicken, Curry Goat, and her unforgettable mac and cheese.

You can find Racquel sharing her incredible food at local farmers markets, art events, pop-ups, and restaurant takeovers throughout the Downtown Mall. Honed over more than 25 years in the restaurant industry, her recipes are the product of passion, experience, and tradition. Every bite is packed with bold, authentic flavors that keep people coming back for more.

Wherever Rum Punch goes, a loyal following is sure to follow; and many of our own staff proudly count themselves among her biggest fans. That's why we're so excited to welcome Chef Racquel White to Albemarle CiderWorks for select dates this autumn.
