New Turtle Bay Blackpool restaurant opening date confirmed

Turtle Bay has confirmed when it will open its brand new Blackpool restaurant.

The Caribbean-style restaurant and bar will officially open its doors on the Promenade on Friday, June 30.

Situated in the newly-restored Forshaws Hotel in Talbot Square, Turtle Bay will be landing in Blackpool just in time for summer season, bringing its colourful combo of rum, reggae, and jerk to the seaside.

The restaurant has Turtle Bay’s trademark beach-shack look and feel and the space has also been filled with an eclectic collection of brightly coloured artworks and murals.

There will be a 2-4-1 cocktail happy hour, which will include all the cocktails on the menu, and a two-hour Caribbean cocktail and brunch offer which includes unlimited tropical cocktails, mocktails, Red Stripe lager, and Proseccoplaceholder image
