On the one hand, a traditional oak beamed English pub. On the other hand we have 'live' music every Thursday and Sunday and a quiz on Wednesday.
Taken over in August by Steve Womack and Cheryl Milford. The Turnpike is now the busiest place in town with 'live' music twice a week and a quiz on Wednesdays. Friday and Saturday are party nights with Motown and the like at a healthy volume. We get chokka but there's always room for more! People come from all around for a lively fun filled night. Licenced 'til 1am but closing earlier Mon, Tues and Wed. Good home cooked food available throughout the day. Here's a few of Steve's Youtube clips.

Such a lovely pub! Travel to come here. Staff are always friendly and it’s a great atmosphere. Antonia is always very welcoming and makes sure I am looked after! She’s always very friendly and smiling she’s most definitely the face of the turnpike 🥰
So service started well greeted as me and my sister entered, got drinks an ordered food. Then from there it went down hill. Order 2 tikka masalas, the food came fast enough but was disappointed when it arrived. 8 pieces of chicken no bigger than a thumb nail that was like microwaved bullets, they served the dish with sour cream which was very weird. Once the chef had finished cooking for us, she sat back at her table with her colleague and proceeded to chat. No check back or anything. Left very disappointed at it all and at £36 for 2 dishes and 2 cokes I expected a lot more for my money and quality too.
Vast improvement on our last visit. Food was much better and choice was good. Meals came out in good time but no one cleared our table afterwards. We went back to the bar to order desert and still no one cleared our dinner plates away. It wasn't exactly busy so there really wasn't a reason for this. My main gripe was both the front and back doors were wide open so it was freezing in there. I don't want to sit and eat a meal wearing my coat.
The staff were really rude to us when we were there at the weekend. There were no lemonade no coke etc…. I was also disappointed to have been served cocktail’s in pint glasses rather than what they should have been In. Half our group of friends actually walked out because of how badly we were treated and we had no apologies at all!
1st time at this place and will call again. Staff were great, very helpful and accomodating and were smiling and polite. Food is awesome, comes quickly and very very tasty. Beer is good and an all round great meal out. 5 ⭐️s from us. see you again 👍
