Caribbean food and rum in central Birmingham

Turtle Bay Birmingham, on John Bright Street near New Street Station and the Bullring, brings the Caribbean to the city centre — a lively, beach-inspired room with Caribbean rhythms and a central rum bar. It’s as much about the vibe and cocktails as the food.

What to order

The heart of the menu is the jerk pit: ingredients marinated 24 hours in a signature rub and flame-grilled. Order Jerk Chicken or Curry Goat with rice and peas, or Brown Stew Fish, with a rich gravy of thyme, allspice and scotch bonnet. Add a handcrafted rum cocktail or a Red Stripe.

A lively night out with friends, a birthday or a celebration with cocktails and music — central, with all-day cocktail deals.
