In 1986 Turner opened his own restaurant "Turner's", in Walton Street, Knightsbridge, London. He ran this until 2001, when it was sold. In February 2002 Brian Turner's Restaurant opened at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Birmingham's NEC, and in April 2003 launched Brian Turner Mayfair at the Millennium Hotel, London. January 2005 saw the launch of Turner's Grill at the Copthorne Hotel Slough-Windsor. Brian Turner Mayfair closed at the end of July 2008, to be replaced by an Italian restaurant unconnected to Turner.
