This was my first visit to Turtle Bay although I have heard it is worth a visit. The staff were friendly and helpful although the service was slightly slow. We went for a roast dinner and it was incredible. Drinks were 2-4-1. I would like to go back when I am not driving! The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable although the music was good but a little loud for old ears! I would have liked to stay longer to try the dessert menu but we had somewhere else to be. This is a town centre eatery so there is not parking in the immediate vicinity.

Great service and a nice atmosphere. The waitress was really nice and helpful. I did not have to wait for my order a very long time. The jerk chicken half was delicious, even though a bit spicy. The cocktails were good.

I absolutely love the food and the cocktails here ;). Came here with friends for bottomless brunch really good service and the waiters are coming over to ask if we want drinks rather than us asking which is a big green flag for me. Conrad was our Main waiter and was very accommodating and friendly but shout out to Shirley and Kayla too very nice. Highly recommend.

Went for the bottomless brunch which was £34, which included a dish (I got a burger, but it doesn't come with fries or sides) and unlimited drinks - cocktails, prosecco, soft drinks, beer, hot / soft drinks.
The food wasn't the best, but it came out really quickly, the spicy Mac n cheese was delicious and very spicy.
The service was excellent, they came around often for drink orders. The cocktails were well made for most, some of the drinks varied each time we got them.
The atmosphere was great, nice music, however I'd say it was very cold inside.

Just had a refreshing respite from the sun at this spot. Opted for the 2 for 1 cocktails and was pleasantly surprised. The bar lady was impressively knowledgeable, guiding us to the Passion Rum Punch which was beautifully presented. Although it could've packed a stronger punch, it still offered decent value at £9.70 for two. The reggae tunes created a chilled, relaxed vibe. I'd definitely return, perhaps for another cocktail and to experience the evening ambiance.
