Turtle Bay Bournemouth

You'll smell the jerk seasoning before you even step inside this bright Caribbean spot in the town centre. The colourful murals and reggae soundtrack transport you straight to the islands, while the open kitchen sends out plates of sticky ribs and aromatic curry goat that put most other chain restaurants to shame. The cocktail list is where they really shine – their rum punch packs a proper punch and the selection of Caribbean rums is genuinely impressive. Yes, it's a chain, but the food has real heat and flavour, from the scotch bonnet-spiked hot sauce to the perfectly charred plantain. The weekend brunch menu brings together the best of both worlds with jerk chicken Benedict alongside proper bottomless cocktails.
