Caribbean restaurant and bar Turtle Bayis is set to open a new waterside restaurant at Salford Quays this summer.
Boasting a beautiful waterside terrace area overlooking world-class arts centre The Lowry, it will be the first Salford location for the restaurant group, which also has two sites in Manchester city centre – one on Oxford Road and a second in the Northern Quarter.
The brand new 180 cover restaurant is set to open this August, bringing its trademark beach shack style to the Costa Del Salford just in time to see out the end of the Manchester summer.
At the new site, diners can expect a soundtrack of reggae beats as they did into Turtle Bay’s crowd-pleasing, Caribbean-inspired menu.
From island-inspired breakfast dishes like aromatic curried chickpeas and rich Curry Goat Hash, to a jerk pit barbecue, buddha bowls and small plates, Turtle Bay’s all-day food menu boasts a wide selection of Caribbean soul food and grazing options.

With vegan and vegetarian options as well as vegan cocktails, there’s something for all tastes and occasions.
Elsewhere, the restaurant will also be serving up its TikTok-famous bottomless brunch – a two-hour-long experience with endless tropical cocktails, mocktails, Red Stripe beers and prosecco.

Salford Quays customers will also be able to enjoy Turtle Bay’s delicious rum-based cocktails as 2-4-1 every single day.
Happy Hour will run from 10am to 7pm every day, with a late happy hour also kicking off from 9.30pm between Sunday and Thursday, and from 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

With room for 180 covers, the brand new restaurant will create 60 new jobs in the area and is now actively looking for staff to fill a range of positions.
Greater Manchester public urged to help get people ‘off the streets and on their feet’ before Christmas
Emily Sergeant
Locals are being urged to help get hundreds of people “off the streets and back on their feet” this festive season.
As the temperatures told colder by the day, and Christmas creeps closer and closer, Greater Manchester Mayor’s Charity is bringing back ‘1000 Beds for Christmas’, and the massively-important initiative is aiming to provide 1,000 nights of accommodation to people at risk of homelessness before the big day arrives.
Forming part of the ongoing ‘A Bed Every Night’ scheme, this festive fundraising mission is designed to provide food, shelter, warmth, and dedicated vital wrap-around support for those who need it most.
The charity says it wants to build on the “incredible success of 2023”, which raised more than £55,000 and provided 1,800 nights of accommodation.
Stockport-based property finance specialists, Together – which has supported the campaign for the last two years – has, once again, generously pledged to match every public donation for the first £20,000 raised.
Unfamiliar with the ‘A Bed Every Night’ scheme? Since 2017, when rough sleeping peaked, the initiative has helped ensure a significantly-higher rate of reduction in the numbers of people facing a night on streets in Greater Manchester than seen nationally.
The landmark scheme has given people the chance to rebuild their lives, while also giving them access to key services and opportunities that allows them to stay off the streets for good.
Despite the scheme’s recent success, organisations across Greater Manchester are under “a huge amount of pressure” to meet the demand for their services this winter, and given the current economic outlook, household budgets will continue to be squeezed – leaving people on the sharp end of inequality and poverty.
