Questions from Turnfurlong

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.

Every dish comes with allergen information.
How it works

In summer, Turnfurlong has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
