Esmie’s Caribbean Fusion brings bold flavours and rich heritage to Herbert’s Yard in Birmingham. We explore how their food honours tradition while creating something new — and why it matters in a city built on diversity.

There’s no shortage of global flavours in Birmingham, but what sets Esme apart is how deeply the food stays connected to home.

It’s not just icing on a cake — it’s tradition. Caribbean food isn’t just about the heat; it’s about heart.

At Herbert’s Yard, they’re mixing heritage with hustle, serving dishes that transport you far beyond the M42. Behind every plate is a story of resilience, roots, and seriously good seasoning — and it all starts in the kitchen.

Longbridge's newest street food venue. Named after Herbert Austin, the aim is to bring the best of West Midlands streetfood vendors to your doorstep.
