The family run Temper and Brown on Albion Street will showcase the City's most renowned DJ talent including Jim Shaft Ryan, Phil Gifford and DJ Dick, each Saturday, with sets running from 6pm to 10.30pm, providing the perfect soundtrack for guests enjoying the bar's Caribbean menu.

Owner, Roifield Brown came up with the idea of treating diners to some great entertainment after reminiscing with regulars over the city's clubbing scene back in its heyday and realising there was a demand to recapture that musical magic in the relaxed surroundings of the community pub.

Roifield said: "Jim, Phil and Dick were the heroes of the late night circuit back in the day and will be very familiar names to those who were active on the Birmingham clubbing scene in the 90s and 00s at Moneypenny's, Wobble and Snobs.

"Many of our guests were in their 20s then and have now reached an age where they still want to enjoy great music but in a more chilled out and comfortable setting and accompanied with some banging food served alongside the nostalgic beats.

"We've become famous for our freshly prepared Caribbean street food - punchy flavours and colourful dishes served up by Esmie’s Caribbean Fusion."

Signature dishes include next level Caribbean eats such as Jerk Chicken Skewers and Curry Mutton. The authentic smoky, spicy jerk chicken accompanied with sweet pineapple and pomegranate salsa is a flavour sensation not to be missed.

Roifield added: "Our secret garden courtyard is the perfect place to make the most of the balmy evenings as we head towards summer. We can't wait to get the Summer vibes flowing this May with feel good beats, a buzzing atmosphere and top quality Caribbean flavours.

"This is a really unique opportunity to experience Birmingham's foundational club DJ legends in the intimate surroundings of Temper and Brown whilst enjoying a top quality dinner - the perfect ingredients for a great evening!"

The dinner and DJ experience will take place every Saturday at Temper and Brown, 12-13 Albion Street 6pm-10.30pm.
