About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
The Three Cranes is a beautiful Grade II listed building with classic features in the centre of the charming village of Turvey.

Nestled in the rolling countryside between Bedford, Milton Keynes and Northampton, Turvey is a beautiful, historical village on the river Ouse at the centre of a network of country paths. It has many historical stone buildings and is centred around the ancient manor, Turvey House.

We serve food freshly prepared from high quality ingredients with a focus on local sourcing. We always provide at least three vegan options and source fresh fish on a daily basis, based on the catches of the day and use these to create daily fish specials. We are a free house and always serve a selection of real ales.

    We had a very nice meal. Everyone enjoyed their choices with a good selection available. Just the right amount of time between courses and service was excellent.

    Lovely food; nice surroundings and very nice service. Beetroot cheesecake and Scandinavian prawn toast were two interesting and very tasty starters, and main courses of sole and salmon were both excellent.

    always a good experience eating at the Three Cranes, Turvey. Apart from asking for a hot plate for one of the main dishes we were totally happy with our meals. 4 of us ordered starters, mains and desserts and the food was excellent, well done to the chef. The prices are also good

    Really lovely lunch with friends, great food and service. I have dined at the Three Cranes lots of times and haven't had a disappointing meal. I'm dairy and gluten free so fresh cooked food with a variety of options I can eat is fantastic.
