Turners in Pendle

Absolutely amazing! I loved the food that I got it was spectacular!

Pretentious and over priced. People want a balance of good food and drink at a fair price...yes businesses have to make a profit but there are limits. The Swan in Fence is the same. Food is good if you are a small child or eat like a bird...come on guys!!!

Se detuvo a café y bollos que eran casera y deliciosa. Uno de nuestro grupo tenía la sopa de hongos que fue fantástico y la comida suficiente en su propio. En el nuevo es un Colne Tubbs de visita obligada. Hemos estado muchas veces y el personal siempre es amable y muy servicial.

Para el desayuno en 10 llamado am Domingo en la calle albert colne nuestra primera visita. Se recibió en la puerta una chica que pedimos una mesa re cbreakfast. El lugar estaba cerca de vacío sólo 2 parejas de fuera. Y 2 - 3 mesas en uso dentro

Fuimos soleado domingo después de que había sido una semana abierto vivimos a la vuelta de la esquina en Colne y decidimos probar, ya que será parte de nuestra casa de viaje por carretera. Bien el servicio era bueno y los precios bien selección de ginebras buena también! No cócteles en el menú, pero creo que se necesitan para crear una y no como salón esquire 62 tanto hacer cócteles cócteles y si es que quieres necesitan competir! Aparte de eso, fue una experiencia muy agradable x buena suerte en Colne

Tried Turners for breakfast to see what it was like. Egg on toast twice and 2 brews. £18 quid. Never even wore a mask.

As Turners has moved to colne i thought i would visit with my daughter for drinks, we went to the bar and ordered drinks, we were served quickly by a smiling barman, we waited approx 5 minutes at the bar until a table became available as very busy. The waitress took us to our table and asked if we wanted to see a menu, although we was not eating there i wanted to take a look for future reference and we will be returning as the menu was good and the food that we saw being served looked delicious so cannot wait to go back to try.

Hermoso lugar nuevo, más barato de vino bottlw £18.

Gran ambiente. Lugar perfecto para el desayuno y para comenzar el fin de semana.

Disappointing Anniversary lunch after having good meals in the past. Service was slow but the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. My meal was undercooked and returned half eaten although a sweet was provided free of charge.

Great place for coffee and cake. But great for cooked unusual dishes. Enjoy the atmosphere and you feel you can spend time there chatting over a coffee or a snack.

My friend and I went to Turners for breakfast. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The food arrived in good time and was really tasty too. My friend ordered the full English and I had scrambled egg on toast. The egg was cooked to perfection I would definitely recommend Turners to others and I will definitely be returning.

Myself and a few friends came here for our annual Christmas meet up; being busy mums the only date we could do was late November. Although they were not officially doing the Christmas menu they were very accommodating and offered us this as an extra option on the menu. We were more than happy to sample and be the first ones to have this.On arrival they had decorated the table for us with Christmas crackers which was an unexpected but nice touch for us and drink orders were taken promptly. The server was very knowledgeable about the wine that would well with the food that I was having with was very much appreciated. Food came promptly, we had pre ordered so this may have helped but we didn't feel rushed to move on to the 2nd course as we were chatting away ( as women do).I can only vouch for the food I had but it was beautiful, tasted fresh and not just heated up. There were no complaints from any of the other members of the party.Overall, great atmosphere and attentive service, beautiful food and even better wine ( great cocktails too I'm advised from the other members of the group).I will most certainly be back to visit in order to sample the rest of the menu ( and wine) with the husband.

I have eaten here loads of times, and also just popped in for a coffee or a beer. The place is quite informal in a very friendly and trendy way. The staff are attentive and always make you feel at home. There is a mixture of booths and more flexible table arrangements. With a family that contains both gluten free and vegan members its an ideal choice that suits everyone as Turners are keen to suit most tastes and desires. Steve Turner's knowledge regarding wine is second to none and he circulates chatting to everyone. Prices reflect the ambience and quality. I feel that they are reasonable compared to similar venues. Good for breakfast, lunch or evening meals.

My mum and I visited here on a quiet Sunday afternoon; we received a warm welcome from a young waiter and chose to sit in the window.We both ordered the Steak Sandwich and a portion of fries to share; the food was gorgeous and cooked to perfection for the both of us.The ambiance was relaxed, yet good for providing us with the opportunity to catch up.The owner came over and spoke to us, which we found a lovely touch as it's important to speak to and get to know your guests. For all of the reasons above I most certainly will be returning soon...

I am so surprised by some of the negative reviews on TA, the complete opposite of my experience meeting a friend for lunch today. I emailed Turners Wines asking as to vegan options and if their bread contained soya or not (I'm allergic) I had a great response suggesting a vegan platter, with homemade buckwheat pancakes, in lieu of bread.I arrived and was shown to our table by Steve, who I think is one of the owners, who said chef Matthew had planned a vegan feast and gave me a handwritten menu which included saffron and sunblush tomato arancini, mushroom and spinach stuffed buckwheat pancakes, houmous, artichokes, olives, beetroot slaw and salad. When my vegan feast arrived, I was blown away by Matthew's care and attention, to ensure I had a tasty filling lunch and loved the presentation. The arancini were delicious with a crunchy texture, as they were coated in ground almonds (I will be stealing that clever idea). The buckwheat pancakes were like Indian dosas, aerated with tiny bubbles, making them so light. The pudding was equally delicious, perfectly roasted plums, pineapple and pear, with rose syrup and toasted almonds. The flavour of rose can be dominating and I am not keen on sickly sweet syrups, but the balance of both was spot on, the syrup really complimented the fruit.I find that when I enquire about vegan options, its the family run independents, who really rise to the challenge and in this case, Turners really came up trumps. I was thoroughly spoiled and I intend to return with my husband for lunch sometime.

Food was ok but very overpriced for what we received and the service was poor and inattentive, will not be returning.

Thoroughly enjoyed a shared feast of baked cheese, chorizo scotch egg and christmas sandwich! Great good and good value.

Really tasty food, reasonably priced, very efficient, knowledgeable staff. Would definitely go back.

A large group of us visited Turners for a special occaision. There was a limited and not very interesting menu but you compromise when its a group. We were ushered to a series of boths 6 people to a booth, so actually the group did not sit together which was a shame. The food was indifferent. The worse thing was when our group reported to management that the fish cakes were gritty, the guy just said "Oh I'll have to try them" Thereafter he kept a low profile. The staff seemed helpful. On the whole the choice of wine varieties was good, but some whites were not available chilled. I felt the wine to be of average quality and expensive.It occurs to me that this place must be living on past glories. I wont be back

I've been here loads of times but not reviewed it before. I like it, it's different to your usual restaurant a good mix of diners and drinkers, with a good casual atmosphere. A limited menu, but that means that everything on there is a "special" really and always well done in my view. Steve always comes to talk to you, even if he doesn't know you.If you've not been before its well worth a visit.

We previously went quite a bit, but had two horrible meals where the chicken still had greasy horrible skin on. Went again and the same, not sure if chef has changed but for the price of the food it was appalling really. I don't think they are accommodating the average person, clearly looking for the range rover driving people. Best of luck with that.....

So so impressed on this visit. I had the sweet potato soup as a starter and it was absolutely delicious- I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! For the main I had the steak with the chilli butter thing and wow- it just melted in your mouth and they must put something on the fries to make them so addictive! The waitress was extremely kind and even made me a cocktail when they don't serve them (seriously- this cocktail needs to be on the menu!). It was a lemon mojito and was deliciously refreshing! Great selection of quality wine also! Just 10/10! Absolutely delicious and wonderful, quality and fresh ingredients!

Okay but limited menu (many of the items on the menu were also unavailable so further limited our choice - v v poor & v v disappointed) & food extremely overpriced. Food was good but for the price i wouldve expected more than small strips of steak on a steak sandwich accompanied by a mountain of foliage. Think i'll wake up tomorrow with long floppy ears & enormous front teeth! Service though friendly, was slow but this can be understandable if being cooked fresh. Disappointed as this was for my daughters birthday & half of us couldn't find anything on the menu which was available which we liked. We'd pre - booked the table in plenty of time so should have had the full menu available. Couldn't book anywhere else after we'd found out most the menu was unavailable as it was on the day & too short notice to book anywhere else.

very disappointed had to send a dish back management in denial very expensive for poor food staff very nice and polite won't be going back

I've been here twice now and the first time all the steaks (although delicious) were not cooked to how we ordered and one was sent back- the other two we soldiered on despite mine being burnt (we did mention this). The second time I got the main of the Spanish meatballs and they were so so so delicious! I highly recommend them! The only let down on the second visit was that my dad and step mum got the same starter and main and both had troubles later that evening :/ they both think it was the scotch egg. Also something really burnt in the open kitchen and set off my coughing and asthma and no apology was given despite the putrid air. Friendly service and lovely decor however. I hear they also own the White Swan in Fence which is just gorgeous. Hopefully Turners will become more consistent as time goes by.

Just returned from a trip to Vilamura, Portugal. On the second night we visited the O Marisco restaurant. My friend and I had the sea bass and it was absolutely AMAZING. The best sea bass we had ever tasted. It was so good we went again a second time which was also just as AMAZING. There are lots of restaurants around the marina in Vilamura to choose from but we couldn't come home without going back a second time. We would both highly recommend this restaurant. They also had other fish dishes, paella and meat dishes, which looked just as amazing as our meals.

Find this place over priced and limited menu. Also no outside space so can't enjoy any sunshine, staff nice but all very young and don't seem to want to be there.

Not much more to say really other than food not great for the price! Won't be returning. Some of the party had starters and we then had an hours wait for our main. We even preordered our food. Not sure why we bothered!

There was a group of us. Starters quite good. The mains received mixed reviews.the lamb received the better feedback. I had the fish platter which I thought was poor. Not a patch on the one at The Assheton Arms at a similar price. Fish cakes bland . Peppered squid cold and rubbery. There were harissa prawns and a slice of smoked salmon and a large piece of French stick bread to make the platter look more filling . Poor at £17. The steaks looked good but again a mountain of salad served with them. I wouldn't go back for a meal but I would probably call for drinks/ coffee during the day. Staff were quite friendly. The place has a nice ambiance. Warning ... When booking avoid booking a booth for more than 4 people as they are too small to accommodate any more than four comfortably.

My first time at this restaurant I visited with my friend and her husband. My friend had the baked goats cheese with a walforf salad and her husband and myself had blackened lamb with a greek salad. I love my lamb and this dish was absolutely gorgeous. All three meals were brilliant. I loved the restaurant as it had mix and match tables and chairs and flag floors. Lovely feel to the place and the staff were superb. They were very helpfull in explaining the make up of each dish. We will definately be going back. Nothing pretentious but very friendle and welcoming. Loved it.

The staff here are fabulous. Friendly, professional and very hard working. The food is good but really overpriced. The wine was nice but again very expensive. There are many places in the area that have the same standard of food and wine but a far more reasonable price. We will not be returning.

Chorizo eggs! Need I say more?Also, a place that actually knows what a Flat White is.Freindly and knowledgeable staff.

I visited this restaurant with my friend in June and had a wonderful evening. The food is absolutely delicious and is quite creative in flavour. They have a very good variety of gin and some lovely wines. I would definitely visit again.

Went here on a Saturday morning for breakfast. Decided to go for the Full Turners breakfast,which is a bit pricey,but having eaten, it was well worth it. Very good service,but the wait staff could pay a bit more notice of customers trying to attract their attention.

what else is there to say, top notch , cheese wines olives, cooked food was ace and authentic , slightly over priced though

My son and myself have just had a wonderful lunch at turners.Two beautiful freshly made quality sandwiches fries and garlic mayo All at a very good price we will defiantly be back their soon to sample more of their menu

I have been to turners on a few occasions and have never been disappointed, friendly staff and great food, the wine list is very extensive and the staff know there grapes, give it a try you won't be disappointed Mick

Had a really good time here. Not the first time I've been. Won't be the last. My friend and I had a great table, lovely music playing in the back ground. We had non alcoholic bubbly and also an experimental ice coffee which they didn't charge us for. Great staff, lovely atmosphere and reasonably priced!! Excellent!

On our return from vacation we chose to have dinner at Turners. Great atmosphere and again wonderfull food. An excellent choice of wines and beers & informal dining.Great for parties, couples or singles.Very good staff & good service.Highly recommended.

Went to Tuners for our wedding anniversary on Saturday nightthe food is wonderful. the risotto was amazingthe service is second to none and very relaxinggive it a go you wont be disappointed

if your are known by the staff they are attentive, if not the service is just ok, food bit expensive for what it is and not brilliant

We visit often, our local eatery, whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Twice this week I have visited, once for a working lunch, once for dinner with my partner. A colleague had the meatballs, I had the smoked salmon muffins with soft poached eggs. Mine was perfection on a plate, perfectly cooked and delicious. Paul is gutted he doesn't live closer, he still hasn't stopped gushing about those meatballs.Dinner We had the lemon and thyme chicken and the spicy pizza, after sharing some dips and squid. All perfectly cooked and sooooo tasty! Because my preferred wine was out of stock, the owner offered an alternative of 3 for us to try and choose our favourite, just devine........can't fault it. Unique in the area, rustic, great atmosphere, great food, great hosts.....we love it

Highly recommended, great atmosphere, outstanding service, fabulous selection of wine and a wide selection of gluten free options.

We came here for an evening meal with friends. The restaurant was busy and the bar area packed - a good buzzy vibe though. Staff kept on top of this best they could. The food ordered was pretty amazing. All cooked perfectly and as expected. We were disappointed with the lack of cutlery though. And as agreed with previous reviews when eating here with such a good standard of food you'd expect the toilets to be a bit upgraded and kept on top of. This place could easily be a 4 or 5 star with few alterations

We called in on a Saturday afternoon for tea and scones the scones with jam and cream were very nice but the rea was awful also the place could do with a good clean including the toilets

we got a £50 voucher for xmas & waited for a few months before booking our table. the service was good but the food was not as good as we had hoped. the starter was excellent but our mains were average.the drinks were excellent as was the service but will keep an eye out for further reviews before visiting again.

This place is far from pretentious as mentioned by others. It is a warm and friendly place where the owner and staff are more than helpful. I have seen the owner sit and talk to the older, lonelier customers and go out of his way to get the newspapers they like to read. The wines are something else, the Dandelion Vineyards Red is gorgeous not on the usual menu but they will open most bottles and serve by the glass. The food too, is well planned and delicious. The only slight downfall is the speed of which plates etc are cleared. The young boy in particular seems to be in a world of his own. We go a lot and would recommend to anyone.

Menu choice is good and promises much more than it delivers, some of the meals a bit disappointing, all overpriced and in general a let down. Drinks also expensive but this adds to the pretensions feel the place exudes. Place was full if not overcrowded with some rough people. A good effort for the area but won't bother going back.

Visiting a friend who took me to this hidden gem. The staff were lovely, both the man and the lady. Lovely fish cakes.

Went to turners on Friday with my daughter for lunchWe had pizza and scotch egg with chorizo to share.The food was cooked fresh and very tasty.The staff are very friendly.I will be returning with my husband soon.

I came here with my sister for a evening meal, we didn't book a table so we're pleased when they could fit us in they had a specials menu with lots to choose from. Myself and my sister both had the thin pizza (large portions) this came on a platter board. (chorizo and fresh chilli also goats cheese and fresh peppers) we had a side salad and fries to share. To drink we had was Rosé Prosecco...very nice! The staff were helpful and friendly, the atmosphere in Turner's was of a lively friendly place. I would go back again

I have not be a Turners for a bit and the re organised layout was excellent. The owner was most attentive as was his staff who served up an excellent lunch if harisa prawns and and excellent glass of Ricoiha wine.

Thanks it was absolutely amazing! Ace food and service!!! Including the service to little ones Defo go again, great wine selection

Turners must have created such an illusion in Barrowford that no-one notices they are being ripped off. To be honest we ended up here as we had a voucher to use up from a Christmas gift and boy am I pleased I only had to put a tenner to it.On entering we asked could we sit anywhere, the server said yes. We picked a booth. 5 minutes later we were told the table was reserved and we would have to move. Then we were told 5 minutes later it was ok they would move the couple next to us, which they did, they seemed really pleased!!! So they walked out. 10 minutes later we got menu's. After a further 15 minutes we asked to order. One hour after exactly we got our food. I had Greek Lamb, grilled lamb medallions on a bed of chopped cucumber, tomatoes and black olives. It had a bitter taste was a bit fatty but ok. My wife and daughter had a mixed fish platter at £17 which apart from the smoked salmon was a collection of deep fried fish or a plate of beige food shall we say. (For the definition of a fish platter visit the Eagle at Barrow, Benedicts in Whalley or the Three Fishes in Mitton) they both felt decidedly queasy after the meal which came to £58-ish when I eventually got a servers attention for the bill. As I said if I hadn't have had the £50 voucher I would have felt royally ripped off for 3 main courses and 3 soft drinks. Interestingly at 1pm only half the tables were taken, should this be telling the owners something. And just to add insult to injury the place doesn't even appear to be that clean either, sticky table etc. Definitely won't be rushing back to spend my own money.

Booked table for two mid week for my wife and I. Originally given poor table location next to bar in route of kitchen servers but after raising concerns was given improved booth seating on the condition we had the table for 1hr 15mins. So not off to the best start, food was average and overpriced, don't mind paying the prices but expect tastier better quality food. This was our second visit, owner can be friendly but can also border on rude on our second visit. Shame as the place looks cosy from outside and could be better but will not be visiting again.

What a fantastic evening. The atmosphere is fantastic, the food was fabulous, the staff couldn't do enough for you and the wine was divine. It's our favourite place to eat and drink in Barrowford, the specials are always interesting so you never get bored of the menu and their wine and ale selection is fantastic. Last visit I had the masala cauliflower which was mouthwatering.

Not a bad place but a bit pricey for what you get and you may leave looking for the nearest fish and chip shop to top up.....pleasant enough atmosphere but bit cramped when busy and not the best place for a conversation. Food is good though and tasty but not enough on the plate for me considering the price. Worth a visit if you have sparrow appetite.

We visited Turners with a party of 12 for a family meal.We chose Turners because we had visited there in December (a party of 3) and had an excellent experience.Because the party was so large this time we were asked to pre order the food, which we understood seeing as it is small {ish) restaurant.Although pre ordered one steak did not turn up and had to be cooked after the rest of the party had finished their main courses. To be fair to Turners they did not charge for this steak.3 of the party ordered lamb and this was cooked quite rare for lamb which we did not expect.One of the party asked for the lamb to be cooked more as it was too rare but it came back only slightly less alive, so if you like your lamb cooked I would request this at the time of ordering.Some of the starters went amiss too after the pre order, this was corrected but again after the rest of the party had finished their starters.The mushroom starter we did receive off the original order was cold.We would visit Turners again, the staff were helpful with the problems but we feel they should not have occured with the pre order.Turners is not a cheap restaurant and we don't mind paying for quality service which unfortunately was lacking.Don't avoid Turners but think twice if you've a large party.

This place is a buzzing little place - great atmosphere and definitely the place to be seen in Barrowford. The food is lovely...though way too expensive. We had 2 coffees & 2 cakes and it came to £18!! The smells are delicious though very small portions and very over priced.

Just want to say a big thanks to Turners for making my daughter one of their homemade pizza's gluten free. And, what's more it is just as good as their 'normal' ones. Being gluten free can be very restrictive when eating out and pizza's are usually a 'no no' but with phone call to book a table and to let them know we will be ordering GF the staff were very helpful, and it was no trouble at all. We were also told that they were planning to offer a selection of GF cakes and desserts over the next few weeks, which we are looking forward to sampling.I ordered the Blackened rib eye steak which was cooked to perfection, I thoroughly enjoyed it.All in all, excellent service, warm and friendly atmosphere, lovely place to call whether i just want a quick coffee, or a meal out.

Refreshing menu. Dedicated kitchen and Friendly staff. Book the table as the place is in demand. Ask for advice or for details. Large portions. Enjoy some of the best wine from the store collection. Would recommend to serious food hunters. Parking near by.

I'm not usually one for writing these kind of reviews, but I've been frequenting Turners for a while now and felt the urge to express my views on this little gem of a place. We dined recently in the evening with friends - soaking up the relaxing ambient atmosphere whilst enjoying a variety of wonderfully delicious food and some of the finest wines and beers available in the district (and probably to humanity!...).The staff were, as always, friendly, welcoming, attentive and informative. After a sharing starter to whet our appetites, I opted for the Greek inspired lamb dish which was cooked to perfection, with loads of flavour and the optimum quantity - not over facing but didn't leave me feeling like I'd been short changed either. My partner had the Fish board; comprising the most amazing fish cakes, delightful spicy squid, King Prawns to die for and smoked Salmon. Absolutely delicious and portion aplenty. Our friends went for the Meat Board and one of the Flat bread pizza's respectively - which again, hit the spot with bells on.We also had two of the desserts between us which were incredible and finished things off rather nicely indeed. Sure, there's cheaper places you can go - the White Bear is down the road and Wetherspoons is in nearby Colne, but then these kinds of places exist everywhere serving the usual pub fare. In Turners, as can often be said in life generally, you get what you pay for. If you're after something that's a bit different, a little bit indulgent, something special or simply somewhere to nip in for a chilled out coffee, glass of wine or beer - then Turners is an utterly impressive option, and admittedly, very moreish!I feel rather fortunate to have such a cool and fantastic place on our doorstep. The owners are clearly extremely passionate about what they do and I'd recommend anyone to give it a whirl and enjoy the experience - trust me, it's addictive!

Came here last night- it's on our list of usual places to visit in the area. Again, did not disappoint. I had the Greek style lamb flatbread which, by choice, was perfectly pink in the middle. This wasn't on the menu last time I visited and it was nice to be surprised and find something new to try while the old favourites are still an option. Great place if you want a good atmosphere, an excellent selection of wines and delicious food.

I have been in quite a few times to eat at Turners over the past few weeks and it has been absolutely delicious. I do frequent Turners on a regular basis but have not really had chance to sample the new menu until now. The blackened chicken is really tasty and you get value for money too with a flat bread and fries alongside the large piece of chicken. If you like fish and seafood, then go for the fish board. My favourite is the spicy squid which melts in the mouth. The place has recently been renovated and looks ace with the creative use of reclaimed furniture giving it a really cool look. I would recommend this place every time. Katy. Xxx

I thought £6.00 for a dish of luke warm soup and accompanying bread excessive. They were served on a board. I also ordered chips, these were served in a bowl which was far too small resulting in the chips falling on the table. These were also luke warm. Not enough choice for the main so did not order. Would not visit again.

This was a fairly quiet night, but there was a mix of people eating and drinking by the bar. We had a sharing plater to start, a mix of dips, flat breads, squid and a baked longress. I then ordered the butternut squash risotto, others in our party ordered a pizza flat bread, Greek style lamb and a meat plater. The owner suggested a red wine to go with our meals which was delicious!Two empty bottles later and 4 empty plates say it all! Everything was delightful. Couldn't fault the service either, they were attentive but not on our shoulder.Great place.

Visited Turners for lunch with my boyfriend. Ordered two chicken baguettes, one portion of chips and two bottles of still water. Bill came to £25. Food good but very small portions and my view was it was very overpriced for what we had and lunch. Chips portion small. Sandwich came only with three lettuce leaves. Service good. Restaurant needs renovating - looked scruffy. Disappointed!

There was two of us. Slightly disappointed Great wine selection was good but food menu was poor and overly priced for what it was. Staff were very pleasant. Won't be going again

Went for evening meal with my husband the service were great had risotto not great and weren't hot very over priced for the amount of food you get. No sides with it risotto was £14 pounds very steep for size of portion specifically asked for the main course portion not the starter portion.

I've been a fan of Turners since the day it opened. The food is always great, the wines are always delicious and it oozes atmosphere like there's no tomorrow. Turners have just got this place absolutely right.We've been hundreds of times, breakfast, coffee, lunch and evening meal. I even organised my Fiancés birthday party there and it was a huge success. Maybe they are on the pricey side, but there's enough choice for you to eat to your budget...Long may it continue to support the thirsty folk in Barrowford and surrounding areas.

I have visited several times and have found the place to be cold and lacking in comfort. The food is only ok but on the slightly over priced side, the staff are lovely...It's never my first choice when visiting the area.

We recently visited Turners again and on a saturday night and was very impressed with the menu. It was a difficult choice but finally I went for the Blackened Rib-eye steak which was delicious. My wife had the Hake which was also very good. The restaurant & bar was packed and lively with a great buzz.. Very good experiance yet again..I would highly recomend this restaurant..

Went for coffee and cake as a friend recommended it I had lemon tart , it's the best I've ever tasted. Unfortunately the coffee was cold and the food is served on wooden boards a big put off for me, I prefer my food on a nice clean plate. Will go again

As a resident of Barrowford, I have visited Turners a number of times. It's always been a little overpriced but on the whole the food was usually ok. On my last visit the menu had changed quite considerably and it was difficult to find anything I liked. I finally ordered the pizza and after a 40 minute wait I was presented with a cardboard circle with perhaps a teaspoon of sauce and another teaspoon of cheese. I managed a few mouthfuls and because we only had an hour for lunch it was too late to order again. When the waitress came to collect the plate she didn't even acknowledge I hadn't eaten the pizza. I'm afraid I won't be going back to Turners for food.

I just can't get enough of this place. Two Crispy Squid with a couple of glasses of wine for lunch - delightful. First had squid at Union Square Cafe in New York and it was amazing. Turner's chef serves up an even better version with the squid cooked to perfection in a crispy spicy batter. Certain places have that certain edgy New York, Northern Quarter Manchester feel and luckily for us Turner's is one of them.

Went with friends (who had been here before) for lunch - very good and friendly service, restaurant had a good buzz to it, the food was delicious and well presented. I had the vegetarian long stuffed pepper - delicious. The Crema Catalana for dessert was also delicious but a little too much for me. I like the garlic flat bread that comes with the mains - it's very thin and delicious. Will definately return again.

Visted on a few occasions when out for a sunday drive. A quirky, trendy cafe, we had pizza and fries, good food, good service. Prices not cheap but not too expensive. Friendly atmosphere

This was out first visit after many recommendations. We are here on a Saturday evening with friends. It had a great vibrant feel on arriving, it was bustling with activity. All of the staff were young and very friendly and professional. We ordered the choritzo scotch egg and the spicy coated squid. Both were well cooked, the egg was lovely with a runny yolk. The squid was tender and came with a good saffron type aioli. For mains the Greek style lamb was pink and juicy. The steak had a nice garlicky herb butter which was great. They also have a great beer called Menebrea from Italy, my husband and our friend raved about it.It's a fun place to eat and perfect with friends for a night out.

I often call in here with friends usually for lunch. Food is good, tasty and different from the run of the mill menu. What I do like is that the food is healthy too.I agree with some of the other reviewers that the service can be slow but it takes time to cook good food and I have to ask why people get so wound up about the speed of their dining experience. It is good to relax and take time over what is essentially a social outing. Something we are increasingly finding difficult to do in the fast world that we live in. There was nothing wrong with our service on this last visit and I will soon be back, possibly to try some evening dining. I love the Il Paso red wine. Not cheap, but then you get what you pay for.

We poped in for lunch today and had a lovely lunch. All very tasty, can't wait to come back.Thank you for the great service.

This was our 2nd trip here, the first time we had an amazing burger and that we our reason to return!!! It turns out the burger is part of the ever changing sandwich special. This time it was a chicken and chorizo wrap which was lovely. However sometimes you just can't beat a really great burger......Please put it back on the menu!!!!

I have been here four tines, the first visit I stumbled upon it mid week with a colleague for lunch.The food was excellent with plenty of different flavours in the plate (lamb kebab)I have been 3 times since with my wife.The main menu has enough choice and the specials change weekly.They have a variety of wines and beers which is a bonus.Will go again

People will may well say "what did you expect in Barrowford" but I was expecting a little more choice and something a little less expensive.My wife and I wanted a light and inexpensive snack for lunch but were confronted by a lunchtime menu whose dishes and prices would have graced an evening meal. I may be tight but I really dont want to spend between £8 and £15 on a special dish for lunch. We ended up with a portion of fries (£3) and a scone, plus coffees. The cake selection consisted of 1 (carrot cake I think) but you could have any number of wines.We wont be returning for lunch any time soon, don't want to put on weight with all those fries!

Been here a couple of times now, although it's been busy I haven't had cause to complain about the service. Food is not quite run of the mill, which is good and they always have some specials to choose from. The flat breads are great and hand made, they come with a variety of toppings and dips - highly recommended. Good selection of beers and wines to accompany your food.The place itself is casual dining, don't expect fancy table cloths and fine china. It can get a bit noisy, but I suppose there isn't much to be done about the acoustics.

More than a 40 minute wait from order to the food being produced ....Food luke warm..asked a bout child portions and then tried to charge for a full adults breakfast for a 4 year old. This was rectified but no real apology for the length of time waiting to get the food.Eggs Benedict fatty cold ham hardly any sauce. Bacon burnt beyond believe on the full breakfast perhaps that's why it took so long to get the food.

Dined here last week with some old work colleagues. Had the Rib-eye steak which was cooked perfectly, came with salad and chips. Service was ok, not the fastest but it was VERY busy, I was told it is like this most days which is a good sign. Couldn't sample the wines unfortunately as I was driving but they have a huge selection. Prices were very reasonable and overall I was quite impressed, would definitely return again.

We took 2 friends with us to try out the evening meals at Turners in August 2015, and we were not disappointed. From the very moment of entering this relaxing and friendly establishment, we were treated to the very best of service. The menu contains a good variety of dishes and offers a fine selection of alcoholic beverages. the four of us chose different starters,the most delicious of which was the goat balls! The Barnsley lamb chop sounded too good to resist so 3 of our number chose that with the remaining diner choosing a lamb kebab. Delicious. Our service was efficient, not rushed but attentive, and the atmosphere was conducive to fine dining. When the time came to choose dessert I was too full, however, it did not prevent me from trying a little of everybody else's chocolate brownie,open dessert and chocolate mousse....... Scrumptious. We completed our experience with 4 lovely coffees. This was our first visit to Turners but it certainly will notbe our last.

Having come to turners at least once a week for that past 12 months I must say our last experience has put us off once and for all! Maybe you have changed chefs but the quality of the food is going down hill! Ordered one of the lamb on flat bread which was bombarded with massive amounts of wet salad! As you got closer to the centre it was realised the flat bread was beyond soggy due to the wet salad and was inedible! Still had to pay full price for it as it should have been returned as soon as it arrived according to the waiter! So if you do go to turners ensure you check your food throughly before eating, take it all apart check the consistencency before you take a mouthful! After all you won't get a replacement or apology if you start eating it first

We are regular visitors to Turners, in recent weeks the standard of service has definitely deteriorated, it must be pointed out that this is mainly when Steve the owner is not present.It's a shame but as one of four groups in (8 people in total) waiting 20 minutes to order a desert and a top up of (excellent) wine it's getting frustrating. The food is great, you get what you pay for in my opinion but service is part of the cost..Will I go back? Yes, mainly because I have told Steve and the feedback has been accepted..

We dine often at Turners for breakfast, lunch and dinner the ambience is always relaxed and welcoming, nothing is ever too much trouble for the friendly staff The food menu and quality is first class and the best in the area as we have sampled most places.Recommended to anyone

Went to Turners on the spur of the moment on Friday evening. A first for us to go in the evening as we've always done the coffee, breakfast, lunch thing before now. What a treat it was, great beer and wine. Great service and the food was fabulous. How nice to go somewhere and have food that is 'real', made on the premises and hasn't arrived in a vacuum pack to be shoved in a microwave. This was simple but delicious. We'll definitely be back.

Arrived at 7.15, for a pre booked meal, by 9.00 had only received an overpriced beer & a small bowl of `chips` for 5 people to share.( I kid you not!!!) . Our meal arrived at 9.30 which consisted of a Pizza base with salad & 6 prawns in a sweet chilli dressing.That meal cost me £13 + £4.50 for a glass of beer- outragous.

I have been here twice now, the first time was great the second visit was good but wasn't as good as the first time! The food is really nice and the staff are friendly and attentive but I do feel like they must book in more than they can handle. We had to pre order this time because it was a larger group and when our food came they'd ran out of fries which most people had ordered and we got one bowl dumped in the middle of the table. We got told we wouldn't be charged and then when the bill arrived they had been charged along with an extra bottle of wine which no one had ordered because everyone paid separately for drinks. This did get corrected when we questioned it. I would recommend people to visit because the food is really nice and there is nothing else like this nearby however a busy Saturday night might not be the best time.

Good food, however poor service and overly priced to say the small quantity!! Will not visit again in a hurry!! There are much better in the area

It was Monday lunchtime,both myself and my wife were free so decided on a drive out but not too far from home.By coincidence Barrowford was mentioned early in the day and Turners was recommended so i looked it up on the internet and even though I wasn't sure exactly what sort of place it was,it looked interesting.Firstly parking isn't easy but we found a side street and got there about 1.20pm.The staff greeting was not over friendly but we were seated straight away.When asked about drinks there was no offer to go through the menu or specials,I also like to be told what the soup is without having to ask or career round the place looking for a board and more importantly the style in which most of the food is delivered which is actually quite quirky {on a board}.The interior is interesting with all sorts of wine on display for sale,a wooden bar structure with casual seating close by and a mixture of banquette seating and individual seating which actually was all ok.I ordered fishcake to start which was a special which was ok but slightly over priced and my wife ordered pitta bread with dips which was actually a good portion and she enjoyed it.Staff were continually hard to engage with,disappearing into the kitchen or behind the bar,i actually think it lacked a bit of organisation.The place wasn't busy but the starters took some time to be cleared and then there was a wait for the mains which we only accepted as we weren't in any rush however the bar/cafe/restaurant wasn't that busy.We both ordered kebabish,one with chicken which was very good and one with lamb that was fatty and in places quite unpleasant.My wife left quite a bit of the lamb but staff when clearing never asked why.We then sat around for some time,again with no interaction from staff,no attempt to offer dessert or coffee so rather than wait any longer to ask for my bill,I went to the bar and paid it.I have no doubts I may be in the minority with this review as Turners is something different in a lovely small village but personally I don't care where or what it is as long as it delivers.I believe when you are attempting to be a quirky,different almost Northern Quarter style establishment you have to ensure that the concept is clear and the staff deliver which I think there are failings on both.Staff with a more outgoing personality would help,bit more organisation and quicker kitchen would all help.Would I recommend Turners ?....No, if you are going to Barrowford specifically to go there however if you are passing through anyway Im sure its the best place in the village/town?

Having never visited Turners before we were looking forward to the evening. The food was ordered and was good was not good value for money. We were not offered puddings or coffee. We will not be returning.

We visited on a Thursday night about 8.30. We waited about 30 minutes for our first course - by the time an hour was almost up we had still had only one course. When the mains did arrive one of them was pretty much stone cold. Shame, because it's an attractive room and the staff are friendly. There's an interesting menu and daily specials - although a starter of fried crab was a small portion and really not worth the price. I had a fish platter for mains which was quite good.

Great atmosphere, great music, the best selection of wines to choose from and perhaps most importantly the food!!! We started with Turners' Bruschetta and it was so good - full of vibrant flavours that make a standard dish into a classic, followed by delightfully cooked pink loin of tuna with an unusual but highly successful accompaniment of Baba Ghanoush, Courgettes and Wild Garlic. Where else in this area can you be treated to food like this with the most knowledgeable host who drives the passion for this wonderful, quirky place.

Had lunch with friends at this little gem in Barrowford, great food and atmosphere. Excellent service
