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.

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.

First ever visit to the Three Cranes and what an enjoyable evening it turned out to be. Very impressed with the drink selection at the bar and a nice atmosphere too. Our party of four opted for the Christmas menu and it happened to be a good choice. Excellent turkey dinner with very generous portions of turkey. Turned out to be the best meal we have had out for a long while. Nice atmosphere in the dining room and good service too. Will return.
