Turpin's Bar and Grill in Hinckley and Bosworth

Five of us were shown to our reserved table, a good-sized circular one. On a recent Saturday night, the restaurant was very busy, but there were plenty of serving staff on hand, ad we didn’t have to wait long for our drinks or our meals. The best thing about Turpin’s, of course, is the quality of the food. Everyone in our party had different items, and all were impressed with their choices. The proprietor and his wife are Italian, as were some of the waiters, and they asked several times whether we were satisfied. Our food was not expensive, I’d say average prices, but he quality makes a visit worthwhile The car park is big, and the restaurant is easy to find.

Lovely meal today, served by the most pleasant friendly Staff. They all made us feel most welcome which has been sadly missing on some recent visits. This makes such a difference to a visit and makes us want to return. Thank you to everyone involved.

Been here a couple of times an always thought 'ok' this time was even more of a just 'ok' so thought I'd write it up.. Food is nice but for the price you can go elsewhere and it be just as nice without the price tag.. Atmosphere is zero.. Echoey quiet miserable. Staff are SO unfriendly.. Literally not even a hi.. I think we were greeted with drink? I mean come on hi how are you, how's your day.. Really does make the difference Won't be returning.. We Seemed like an inconvenience tbf..

We booked to go as my partner was brought this as an incredibly thoughtful and generous gift for his birthday. People always rave about how great Turpins is, so expectations were high! The sign outside states ‘Fine Dinning’ which made me excited to see how good Turpins is. So to put into context, I googled the definition of Fine Dinning after I got home, the quote from Wiki is “ Fine dining is a restaurant experience that is typically more sophisticated, unique, and expensive than at a typical restaurant” Wow impressive eh?….however somewhat misleading. The food was average, I’d say for your money, there is way better such as the sister restaurant which we have been to multiple times. But to put into context, think Hungry Horse with a bigger bill. A bill that when you can get someone’s attention is put on the table like a spare napkin, no plate, no thanks. Staff were in the plenty, but rarely do they make eye contact, so no chance of getting any additional drinks soon. They seem quick to clean up tables ready for yet more guests, but not so fussed about the ones sat down already. Quite frankly I’m not sure any of them wants to be there. The desert menu looked like it had seen better days also. Cups came with complimentary lispstick marks on. All in all a poor experience. Can’t see the hype around the place as I have genuinely received better service at a McDonald’s table services, at least they smile and look happy when they bring your food. If you are thinking of a special occasion, look elsewhere to spend your money. If you want local, try San Giovanni which is better in every aspect.

First time visiting Turpins for a treat as a birthday meal. We arrived and were seated straight away.Unfortunately the staff didn’t crack a smile or make us feel particularly welcome. I opted for a steak which I thought would be great at a place called Turpins bar and Grill! As normal I asked for it medium Rare and it came out nearly raw in places which was a real shame. I did mention this to the serving staff who seemed to take offence to me saying anything and grumbled I’ll get the manager. He arrived, straight faced totally unapologetic and agreed it was undercooked then proceeded to skip over this and ask if I wanted to see the desert menu. I said again what are you going to do it’s unacceptable to which he said I will look at the bill and walked off. I was made to feel like I was trying to pull a fast one and get a free meal which I certainly wasn’t. I really didn’t enjoy my meal and wanted to get out the place. They did knock off the cost of 2 drinks which was ok. Since the meal I have had a very upset stomach and will not be returning. Shame it looked like it could be or used to be great.

Avoid the cheese cake !! Small portions, no base , dense and lacking flavour. Starter and main good but puddings disappointing We we’re so looking forward to coming here but nothing really overly special apart front m the prices

We had my husbands birthday meal here. We invited 11 guests. The food was grest as was the service. Several of our guests hadn't eaten here before but all said they would definitely return. Highly recommend

I’ve been to Turpins a couple of times in the past and have found it a nice place to eat with good service. Prices are middle of the road. Our recent visit for a family birthday though was disappointing. We had to ask for more than 2 cubes of ice in our drinks and also for lemon or lime slices. There was no water on the table - we had to ask for that and when they brought the bread, oil and olives to the table no side plates were offered. I had to hold my hand under the bread as I ate it. The table was a little sticky too and our waiter looked like they’d just got up - they were nice enough though. The bill was £500 for 6 of us - so not extortionate but not cheap.

Stopped here after a visit to Twycross Zoo and not wanting to drive in rush hour traffic. We were surprised to see very few people here on a Friday evening as it looked lovely inside. Outside there was a huge open sided marquee which overlooked the carpark. A shame there was no greenery here and glasses were not cleared for over an hour. Service was a little curt. We asked for a menu as I had not been able to eat at the zoo due to there being no gluten free options available at the cafe. We were handed a menu and were told we had to come back inside to order at the bar. Unfortunately here too I was not able to eat. The gluten free options were limited to one item (see pic) - hot spicy chicken wings which I can’t eat either. All the chips contain gluten and there wasn’t even a salad option. We had one round of drinks as there were no entry signs on the door leading onto the outside area. We would have had to walk back around the front to go order some more, so we moved on to find another restaurant with a better selection of food.

Haven’t been here for years but it’s certainly is a lovely fantastic meal Plenty of it too good portions Service was efficient and friendly Will definitely be back

Great menu, something for everyone. Food was amazing and staff so helpful. Good choice of drinks as well including cocktails. We will be back

This was our first time here on recommendation of friends. Upon arrival it is a very impressive establishment and we were very excited by the prospect of the food. The menu contained a good selection and there was plenty for us to consider. We ordered a stuffed chicken breast with bacon, a steak and ale pie and a side salad. On arrival the food looked good and we tucked in with gusto. Sadly the food did not match up to it or the venues first impressions. The pie was ok, nothing more, the steak was grisly and chewy in parts, though some bits were beautifully tender. The taste was a little bland. Just an ok pie and chips, we had hoped for more. The chicken and bacon came on a bed of pasta. The chicken was very dry and the bacon made it extremely salty, the pasta was in a light sauce and was ok. Again ok but we were expecting more. The side salad came with a very light dressing despite us asking for extra dressing. Catching a member of staff to ask for more dressing was impossible. It seems that staff are taught to not give any eye contact. They look down at all times. It took 10 minutes to get some attention. Turpins to us was a let down. It certainly looks the part, though i do worry about the noise levels when full. However the food really didn't rise above ok, which at the prices charged seemed somewhat underwhelming. I doubt we will return as there are better value places out there, where the food isas good if not better.

The food was excellent, all 8 of us had great meals. I had the seabass and Gnocchi which was lovely. Others had pizza, pork and the half chicken. I read reviews before and there aren’t many and are mixed. I’d go again and was impressed.

Stakes are next level!Best services and food îs 10/10.Waiters are friendly and verry quick.I will defenitly recomand and come back.

The services and the food are 10/10, the waiters very friendly and kind,i was impreased with how good the food was. I recommend and I will definitely come back.

My visit to Turpins Bar and Grill was fantastic! The food was top-notch, and the ambiance was perfect for a relaxed evening out. But what really made the experience special was the attentive and friendly service from Aura. Her kindness and professionalism truly elevated our dining experience. Highly recommend Turpins, especially for Aura's exceptional service!

Had a lovely meal here for my 50th birthday with my family the food was lovely and the staff were lovely had a lovely evening thankyou x

I ordered a sirloin steak which arrived very quickly and the taste was 10/10, the waiters were very kind and friendly and made some very good recommendations for the steak served as well as the wine and also for the dessert. I recommend and I will definitely come back for one more steak.10/10 service 10/10 food

The best restaurant in town! Impeccable service, exquisite dishes bursting with flavor, and a charming ambiance. A culinary experience worth savoring.

Ten to ten good service 👏👏👏👏the quality from food are the best seen in all England staff also are very impressed happy to come again,,

The food was lovely, when it came! The service was slow and the staff were not particularly friendly. We were greeted with a list of what wasn’t available. Disappointing for two teenagers who were looking forward to pizza! When it came the food was well cooked and very nice, but I’m glad we weren’t in a hurry!

Excellent food Fantastic service.,all staff is very friendly they bring our food quite quick The drinks was amazing I love it definitely we come back Thank you turpins for a perfect night

Went for a special family birthday. Bar staff were very young and inexperienced. Had to show them how to make a martini! . Waited a long time for food and between courses. Ordered a seafood sharing platter which arrived at least half an hour after everyone else’s food, despite being reassured on 2 occasions that it would only be ‘3 more minutes’ . A waiter assured us that it wouldn’t be charged , but another quite surly waitress offered a free drink instead as they couldn’t take it off the bill. She insisted on knowing who had told us this in the first place. Overall good food but poor service and waiting times too long, staff need more training on customer service, no attention to detail. In no hurry to return

Service is slow and poor, staff appear unhappy and disinterested, the food actually wasn’t too bad but why put a specials menu out if you havent got half of it left! The whole menu needs updating it has been the same for years! Restaurant decor and ambience feels like a cafe and starting to date now

Excellent quality, large portions, good friendly service. Battered fillet of cod and chips was slightly inaccurately described in the menu, should have read 1/2 battered whale and chips! Joking aside though, all the food was very well cooked and great service.

Very disappointed I had salmon salad, plate was full of half !!!!!!! Of an iceberg lettuce. Three half’s !!!!!! Of cherry tomatoes three half’s !!!!!! of cucumber. Very poor salad salmon was lovely. Staff are miserable will not return.

Service was appalling. Staff didn’t even want to acknowledge you to seat you to your table when you arrived would just avoid eye contact. We had a table for 5:30 and ordered off the specials menu to which we was told there wasn’t any left how this is the case at an early table I don’t know??… not really any point of putting the specials menu down. Service was slow, no side plates for the sharing platters. Mains were chucked down and staff quickly ran off before we could ask for any sauces. Food was bang average. Wont be returning

Having read some of the reviews we were a little sceptical but the meal my wife and I had last night was absolutely excellent. It was full so we anticipated there would be a little wait but not at all. We will certainly return.

Service Awful with average food!!!! Having been numerous times in the past, I put the last time I went to the restaurant and the poor service down to a one off. However after going this evening I will never go again whilst the same management team are running this. The service hadn’t been great during the meal from the girl who took us to our table , didn’t make eye contact and virtually threw the menus down, and I had to ask to have our order taken. I’m allergic to caramel and when my apple tart with ice cream came out covered in a gold sauce I asked the older lady if it was caramel. She snapped it was and I explained I can’t eat it and that it was not mentioned on the menu, to which she snatched it off the table and stormed off. She acted liked a petulant child and would offer no apology . If I was the owner I would have your team on a hospitality and manners course quickly!!

All our steak was overcooked, management reaction was disappointing to say the least. Never really had such a terrible response from management. Chef came to the table to say there was not a problem with steak and was constantly asked if I would like another meal. 🙈 Anyway it appears that the lighting where we were sitting was a bit bizarre. Shine a light on the steak and it looked more pink. What was that all about and why was not Turpins staff not aware of this. Anyway a very disappointing meal, and won't be returning very soon.

Birthday treat for me .Nice atmosphere ,lovely service lovely food .nice drink ,staff very attentive couldn’t ask for more 👏👏👏👏

Beautiful tranquil and spacious restaurant with amazing food and staff Homemade meat pie was delish and full of meat. Nice selection of beers and ales

We wondered in with family on Tuesday evening, table of 6 guests and was immediately greeted by the young girl and incredibly aroma of food.The restaurant was filling up quickly ( it was 7:30 pm Tuesday) but the food and service very promptly and professionally. We really recommend!

Utterly disappointing!! Had a booking for 11 people to celebrate my daughter's 16th birthday. The food was very mediocre & cold. I tasted my daughter's burger as she thought something tasted off & she was right,it was sour! The minced beef was clearly off! It smelt disgusting!!I asked them to bring out her birthday cake...one guy just plonked it on the dirty table & walked off! Brilliant!! What lovely service!! NOT!!!!! Will not be returning! Not happy at all.

Pasta was dry yet too oily! Staff weren’t attentive and when I asked about the sauce miah was rude, we just left pudding and went home. Btw it was our anniversary so thanks

We booked a table here knowing we had a 90 minute window. Food was ordered within 15 minutes but we had to wait 45 minutes for it to arrive despite the restaurant being less than half full. When it did arrive, the food was very good with generous portions. I ordered the char grilled tuna in a red Thai curry sauce. Whilst the tuna was lovely it was overpowered by the sauce! We will visit again but we'll make sure we have plenty of time.

Service slow waited about 10 minutes for my glass of wine saw it sat on the bar others in the party had been served their drinks. The sharing platter was good, however my main of belly pork which was fine, the mashed potatoes where cold and the roasted parsnips were cold supposed to have been roasted ? looked like they had just been blow torched plenty of empty tables so not overly busy

Such a real shame, this place used to be amazing and we loved going! Unfortunately after visiting recently for my partners birthday we had a terrible experience, awful service, food OK but not like it used to be (might have just been OK due to...

Never again worst experience ever! noisy pub serving below average food at elevated prices! Do not take candor very well extremely defensive and augmentative! I would never step foot in this place again!

This is a poor restaurant with poor customer service. table cancelled after arrival for 10 people for a 40th birthday with no apology or nothing staff was rude. People stay clear very disrespectful and disappointing

The food was exquisite, service impeccable, and ambiance cozy. A must-visit for any food lover! The drinks were expertly balanced and refreshing.
