The Turnpike restaurant has received mixed reviews from customers. Some have found the food to be hit or miss, with dishes like the lamb roast and Yorkshire puddings falling short of expectations. Slow service and disappointing desserts have left some patrons dissatisfied. However, others have praised the establishment for its friendly staff, tasty food like calamari and fish and chips, and cozy environment with a woodfire burning. Despite some shortcomings, many reviewers express a desire to return, appreciating the fair prices and overall positive dining experience.
