Who We Are

Turtle Bay is all about introducing you to that carefree, island way of life. A Caribbean kitchen and beach bar where the food, drinks and music flow from morning 'til night.

Everyone invited. Our team can tell if you need coffee, cocktail, cold beer or plate of cutters full of flavour. And our people serve up the magic and warmth of the Caribbean every day, so that everyone feels relaxed and welcome here. We’re here to create genuine connections and put people at ease. By welcoming guests with our natural hosting skills and unpretentious atmosphere.

We bring people together. Strangers become friends and the bartender knows you by name. Were lunch drifts into sundowners.

What We’re All About

We live by the spirit of One Love – a universal love and acceptance of all people. At Turtle Bay, we celebrate individuality, recognise differences and make it easy for people to be themselves. We take inspiration from the Caribbean culture – the music, the food, the drink, and of course those chilled out vibes.

As a General Manager at Turtle Bay, you lead the heartbeat of the restaurant. You create an environment where everyone feels relaxed and welcomed – from your team to every single guest. You’re the energy in the room, setting the tone for your team and making sure your restaurant feels full of life.

You balance strong commercial acumen with warmth and care. You know how to drive the business forward, build strong local connections, and develop your team to shine. You’ll be responsible for performance, standards, and the delivery of our exceptional guest experience – but above all, you’ll inspire others to have fun, take pride, and bring the best version of themselves to work.
