Roast Sundays rock to reggae beat at Jewellery Quarter pub

An historic pub in the heart of Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter has launched Reggae Roast Sundays in a mouth-watering tribute to its owner’s Caribbean heritage.

Temper and Brown on Albion Street (previously the Pig and Tail) was taken over by Roifield Brown in August and part of his vision was to recreate the Jamaican hospitality with which he grew up.

Roifield, together with Cajun Soul – the team behind the menu at Temper and Brown – has now launched Reggae Roasts, Cajun Soul’s twist on a Caribbean roast dinner accompanied with a backdrop of a reggae beat. Every Sunday food and music will come together to provide a fun experience for guests.

Roifield says he proudly embraces his Jamaican heritage, realizing how important Sunday dinner is to the Caribbean community.

He said: “Sundays are a time for family, great food and, of course, reggae music. The mouth-watering menu blends vibrant Cajun flavours with beloved British culinary traditions. The soulful soundtrack is a staple of Sunday gatherings, adding rhythm and warmth to the dining experience.

“We hope guests will enjoy the reggae, drink some rum, savour delicious food and connect with fellow community members in our vibrant social atmosphere.”

A selection of three reggae roasts is available, all at £17. Diners can choose from roast chicken, pulled brisket or vegetarian halloumi. Each plate comes with fried plantain, riced and a fresh salad.

The Reggae Roast is now available at Temper and Brown, located at 12-13, Albion Street, Jewellery Quarter.
