We visited straight after spending the day at the zoo. I had scouted this place out beforehand as its just down the road.from the zoo and ideal for an evening meal before our drive home. The restaurant is spacious with great decor and a modern vibe. The menu was outstanding with a good variety for all interets as well as a decent kids menu. We opted for the seafood platter sharer, which for the price I wast sure would be very good however I was proved wrong. The quality was exceptional and far better than seafood platters I've had near the sea for twice the price. If you're visiting the zoo this place definitely worth a visit. Great quality, reasonable price and a stones throw from the zoo.

Visited today after several years. There are so many positives and negatives. The management just need to invest a bit more oomph back in. This place has a great varied menu…. the food we ordered and ate was enjoyed by all. There are small things missing… the staff other than that one member were all looking bored… we were not greeted on arrival… and it wasn’t obvious where we needed to report to to advise of our reservation. We waited quite a while for each course. Had to go up to the bar to pay the bill as no one came to the table. There isn’t much ambience or a cosy feel here. A few large plants and maybe some fairy string lights and candles would make it feel much more welcoming and less cold.

Myself and my partner wanted to go somewhere special for dinner so we decided on Turpins . On arrival we was greeted by staff that I can only describe as “they look like they hate their jobs “ zero personality. We was then seated and asked for our order (again with a can’t be bothered face ) we ordered a bottle of wine that was lovely , starter we ordered Camembert also nice but a little to under cooked . When the mains came I had the belly pork , the mash potato looked like cheap pellet mash that after 5 minutes turned into a hard lump of patatoe on my plate , parsnips were under cooked but flashed quickly to burn parts of them , My partner had the T-bone steak which he said was nice but his Chunky chips were under cooked and hard . All the electric also went off in the restaurant and was dark so couldn’t really eat until it came back on .. not a single apology. When they cleared us I had quite clearly not eaten my dinner and they didn’t bother to ask if everything was ok . We paid our bill that was completely over priced for what we had and left . I will never ever return to this restaurant again

What a fantastic restaurant. Extensive menu including specials. Something for everyone! I have food intolerances and was able to have exactly what I wanted as the chef cooks it from scratch. Cannot recommend highly enough. Well worth a visit. Great staff and ambience

Staff are very rude. They also won’t accommodate changes to menu…..e.g. no chips….no alternative offered. A salad arrived with six lettuce leaves and a piece of chicken. Charged full price. They were discussing us, while we ate. Called a liar by the waiter to his manager. Not a pleasant experience

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

I really wish I could review better than 3*, the coffee is very good and the baristas are better than those at rival coffee houses........BUT, the queue is constantly long with very little effort to get the customers served any quicker. The tables are usually littered with dirty cups, again, little enthusiasm from the staff to clear and clean them. I also think the toilet could be cleaned more regularly, it's a lottery using it, sometimes it's very clean, but more often than not, it's dirty.

The Rose Lounge was a total rip off - I paid £184 for a small festive afternoon tea for two, which is extortionate for what it was. This didn't even include any alcohol! The savoury course was tiny only 1 sandwich and 3 bitesize bits, the scones were two bites - for £92 per person (inc. service charge) I would expect full size scones. The cakes looked nice, but weren't for me, unpleasant flavours, but I appreciate this is personal preference. It was nice enough, the staff were friendly and the venue/atmosphere was pleasant. The cello player was a nice touch, but he only seemed to know 5 songs so it became very repetitive. There any so many other places for afternoon tea in London that I would recommend over and above here.

Lovely pub with the right vibes and atmosphere :) Staff have always been very friendly & helpful. The new Manager has done some great things with this place and it's only going upwards :) The pub is quite big so great for us as I usually come down with a big group of friends and we'll always find some spare seating. It's got darts and a pool table which is great. The quiz nights are really fun too, couldn't recommend this place enough!

This is my second home because of the great atmosphere alone. The service is great, even at busy times, and the staff are very apologetic if you have a bit of a wait. The cafe is also now dog friendly which is a huge plus. Lovely staff. Great coffee and food. Great all round.
