Loved the decor and the meal was tasty and served by friendly staff. However, it was extremely noisy and the wait between courses became longer as the evening went on meaning we left in a bit of a rush to get to our booked entertainment.

My niece and her family were visiting so we took them there. They loved it- good food amd great ambience. Food was nice overall with an excellent steak and ice cream but the burgers were underwhelming. My niece ordered ravioli which she liked. Puddings were good with the stout cake being excellent. Would recommend - try and go for the steak.

An hour's 3 mile walk from opposite EUBC along the canal path got us to The Turf. We had booked a food slot for an outside table as all the inside was full already. Waited a mere 15 minutes for the Burger and Chips which was delicious. Perfectly cooked, locally-sourced beef with seasoned chunky chips and side salad, helped down with a pint of cider on a sunny day. Great service , friendly staff, lovely well-maintained picturesque setting and tasty food. What more do you need?. Highly recommend. cheers
