About Turtle Bay Hammersmith
Turtle Bay Hammersmith is a Caribbean restaurant at 245 Hammersmith Rd in London, built around a jerk pit where meat is marinated for 24 hours in jerk rub and then flame-grilled. The jerk chicken comes with rice and peas, and dumplings are available as a side. A tamarind pork starter opens the menu, and the Classic Sharer pairs curry goat with chicken. Cocktails run alongside the food, and brunch is also on offer. The restaurant is open daily and accepts walk-ins. Large groups are seated across multiple tables.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the service, with servers described as attentive, friendly and quick to sort problems. One diner who disliked a dish had it taken away and replaced without charge, and another praised a server who gave good advice on the menu without being intrusive. A large group also found the team kept orders and drinks flowing. On food, the Classic Sharer with curry goat and chicken is called generous and full of flavor, and another diner enjoyed the tamarind pork starter, half jerk chicken with rice and peas, dumplings and cheesecake. Cocktails and brunch are described as good value, and several reviewers call the atmosphere fantastic. The one caution comes from a reviewer from the Caribbean who calls the food more than decent but advises fellow Trinidadians to stay away from the doubles. Another notes the food has improved since an earlier visit, and a reviewer who disliked their original dish had it replaced at no charge.

“We visited Turtle Bay in Hammersmith on Saturday as a walk-in and were thoroughly impressed. We choose the Classic Sharer, which comes with curry goat and chicken, such a generous serving, and full of flavor. A great choice if you’re hungry and are sharing. Huge thanks to James, whose exceptional service really elevated our evening. He was attentive, prompt, and genuinely friendly throughout (we had a bit of a laugh too 🤣). Highly recommended, and we look forward to our next visit.”

“Visited Turtle Bay with a large group spread across two tables, and we had a really good experience. The food has definitely improved since my last visit, and everything we ordered was tasty and well presented. The drinks were good too, with a nice selection to choose from. Considering the size of our group, the service was excellent. The team kept everything running smoothly, making sure orders were taken and drinks kept flowing without us feeling forgotten. A special thank you to Taylor, Michael, and Wiki, who were all friendly, attentive, and made sure we had a great time. Their service really made the experience enjoyable.”

“Came here for a birthday lunch with family. We had excellent service from James. He was attentive throughout the meal without being intrusive, and gave good advice on the menu. He was efficient and friendly, and it was a pleasure to be served by him. The food was very good quality and reasonably priced. The cocktails were fantastic and the deal they had on made them good value for money. I would have no hesitation in booking again. A great experience all round.”
