Nine of us ladies visited for a bottomless brunch before going to see Kinky Boots at the theatre. I haven't been before but others in the group had recommended it. I loved every minute, I'm a big reggae fan since I saw Bob Marley in Dortmund, his last major concert. The atmosphere was amazing, especially for a Thursday midday. Loved the surroundings, Ed our very friendly, smiley and attentive cocktail waiter, was exceptional. Then came the food.. which everyone enjoyed, served promptly, piping hot and all at the same time, so no-one was left drooling whilst others ate. All in all, it was a fantastic experience and I would definitely go back. Loved it!

We are regular visitors to Turtle Bay since discovering the one in Norwich. The menu has plenty of choice so we have lots of favourites. The cocktails are good if you are out for a drink again plenty of choice and 2 for one unless you are out at peak time. We go for a relaxed lunch and are never disappointed. If you are new to Caribbean food the staff are friendly and ready to advise.
