We recently visited Turtle Bay Nottingham for their Valentine’s 2-for-£20 menu and the whole experience was genuinely outstanding from start to finish. We’d also received an email promotion offering two complimentary cocktails for booking before the 7th, which was a lovely extra touch.I’m disabled and use an electric wheelchair, and I can’t praise the team enough for how accommodating and thoughtful they were. We arrived earlier than our booking due to awful weather changing our plans, and nothing was too much trouble. Our booking was moved forward without any fuss, a suitable table was found straight away, and we were seated with smiles all round.Menus were brought over promptly, everything was clearly explained, and we were given table water. The table was set beautifully with a candle and even had dominoes to play, which added to the relaxed, fun vibe. The music and atmosphere were spot on, and the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and full of great banter. You could tell they genuinely enjoy what they do.We both ordered the same: sweetcorn fritters with mango molè to start, followed by the half rack of ribs in sweet rum sauce with mac and cheese and slaw. While we waited, our complimentary Sitri cocktails arrived and they were so refreshing and much bigger than expected. We then had Cokes with our meals, served in large bottles with ice and a slice of lime, which felt like a nice little touch.The food was absolutely out of this world. The fritters were beautifully crisp with a great hit of spice from the sauce. I’ve never been to the Caribbean, but for a moment it felt like I was there. And the ribs… wow. Crispy on the outside, melt-in-the-mouth tender as you got further in, with a sauce that was warming yet sweet. The mac and cheese was creamy, comforting, and honestly like a warm hug in a bowl. Every part of the meal felt indulgent and full of flavour.The value was fantastic too. £20 for two courses for two people, with just an extra £4 each for the ribs, plus drinks. For the quality, portions, atmosphere, and service, that’s amazing value for money.I genuinely can’t fault this place. It’s not our first visit and it definitely won’t be our last. Whether you’re going for food and drinks or just popping in for cocktails at the bar, you’ll leave smiling, well-fed, and in a great mood. A solid 10/10 from us.
