Great Places To Eat and Drink
Turtle Bay
Turtle Bay all started in Surfside Bar, Barbados. If you were wondering how we dreamed up our tropical mix of rum, reggae and jerk then here’s the story of how it all began. As soon as you walk into any of our restaurants, you’ll spot our very own island bar taking centre stage – a homage to Surfside and the hundreds of other beach shacks of the Caribbean that share its friendly, feel-good spirit. And as you take a seat and stay a little longer, you’ll see that there’s so much more. A lot of rum, a never-ending backdrop of infectious reggae beats, and a feast of Caribbean-inspired food for any time of day or occasion. Turtle Bay is offering 20% discount off food only on the day of your visit to the Blackpool Grand Theatre when you present a valid theatre ticket. Discount is only available via downloading the Turtle Bay app.
