Turtle Bay to open its doors in Chester this October

Caribbean restaurant and bar, Turtle Bay, will open its Chester restaurant this October. The 3,000 sq ft restaurant located at Northgate will be the brand’s first in Cheshire. There will be a total of 154 covers (132 inside and 22 outside). 

Turtle Bay will bring its legendary rum, reggae and jerk to the city including its Caribbean jerk pit BBQ, famous tropical cocktails, bottomless brunch and vibrant beach-shack style interior. 

The Chester restaurant will be bright, airy and spacious with an outdoor terrace for drinking and eating. Inspired by island life, the interior will feature beautiful high impact murals dedicated to Caribbean culture, and the reggae roots that are central to Turtle Bay will add to the vibrant feeling of the space. A large central island bar will greet guests on arrival and a mix of booths, tables, high tops and outdoor seating will seat over 150 guests. The Chester venue will also feature a wall made from reclaimed speakers, alongside steel drum tables and neon lighting. It will be an eclectic, welcoming space designed to create an escape to the Caribbean.

At the centre of the kitchen is the jerk pit BBQ where all of Turtle Bay’s famous jerk dishes are created. The jerk dishes are expertly seasoned in a secret spice rub and marinated for 24 hours before being fire grilled and basted for a smoky, deep, rich flavour married with that famous jerk heat. Choose from their signature Jerk Chicken, Mo’Bay Chicken, Jerk Lamb,  Vegan “Jerk” Chicken, and more.
As well as jerk flavours there are warming West Indian curries, sunshine salads, burgers and roti wraps. There’s also a huge collection of vegan and vegetarian alternatives, as well as grazing, sharing and small plate options like Crispy Chilli Squid, Sweetcorn Fritters, Trini Doubles, and Mac & Cheese Bites. There’s something for all tastes, occasions and budgets, whether it’s an after-work light bite, date night, or big family get-together.

Turtle Bay Chester guests will also have the option to go bottomless with the Caribbean Bottomless Brunch. This two-hour long brunching experience runs seven days a week and includes unlimited tropical cocktails, mocktails, Red Stripe, & prosecco. 

Turtle Bay’s famous 2-4-1 cocktail happy hour includes all the tropical cocktails on the menu and will be landing in Chester too. With rum at the heart of the menu, Turtle Bay cocktails have been specially created to transport guests to the Caribbean, and are best enjoyed alongside juicy jerk and lively reggae beats. Guests can choose TB classics like the Reggae Rum Punch and One Love, as well newer additions like their Island Ice Blast and Tropical Spritz.  Happy Hour runs from opening until 6.30pm, with the Late Hour Happy Hour then starting from 9pm until close.
