Charming
Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions

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.

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.

First of all it is so dark you can't really see what you are eating. Two of my guests chose the lamb cutlets - these had not been trimmed and had huge layers of fat. But the worst thing was the potatoes - the menu promised Lyonnaise potatoes but the ones that were served were sliced new potatoes which had been fried and were burnt and were inedible. The accompanying vegetables were OK but just piled into a bowl and not displayed so you didn't know what was in the bowl at the bottom. Also the chips I had were not cooked all through. A pity really as we loved going to The Cranes before which was why we chose it. We did get one meal free though and the ice cream is delicious.
