Turtle Bay

Turtle Bay York brings Caribbean-inspired food and cocktails to Little Stonegate in the city centre, just a short stroll from the Minster and the Shambles. Dogs are welcome inside, so you can enjoy jerk dishes, bold flavours and a splash of rum without anyone waiting on the pavement.

The menu leans into brighter, more upbeat energy than your standard city-centre chain, with that familiar Turtle Bay mix of colour, music and easy-going bustle. It's built for livelier catch-ups and bigger flavours, whether you're after spice, cocktails or a more escapist meal than another pint in a dark timbered corner.

Good for when York needs a holiday mood and nobody wants to leave the dog behind. Dogs can settle in while you browse the menu, and the Caribbean vibe makes it feel like a proper occasion rather than just another quick bite.
