Caribbean-themed restaurant Turtle Bay has launched a new menu and it is available to order from in its one East Lancashire venue.

The menu, which will be available in the Blackburn restaurant, was rolled out across all 48 Turtle Bay locations on Monday (March 27) and has been developed by Jamaica’s most awarded chef.

It includes an elevation of four Turtle Bay classics plus an introduction of 12 brand new dishes and two ‘beach board’ sharing platters.

The elevated menu also boasts a wide selection of plant-based dishes, such as the Island Brunch Bowl, featuring scrambled ackee, sauteed callaloo, curried chickpeas, sweet fried plantain, tomatoes and a fire-grilled roti.

Diners will be able to enjoy crispy chicken wings smother in the new BBQ sauce, laced with Caribbean rum; and those looking for lighter lunches can enjoy the new coconut prawn rice bowl or jerk chicken salad.

Executive chef of Turtle Bay Collin Brown said: “Our new menu is sick! These new dishes are full of flavour and packed full of nutrients.

"We are very excited to introduce some key Caribbean ingredients to the menu, and put a big focus on plant-based meals, just how my people back home eat.
