Always a joy to visit the Turks Head when we’re on holiday. Fabulous atmosphere in the cosy bar area where friendly locals mix with tourists. Bar staff are super efficient with always a smile and the food is excellent. I think we’ve tried pretty much everything on the menu over the last few years and without exception they’ve all been wonderful in every aspect, and great value too. You Must visit. Actually, please don’t as we want to be able to book next time we’re here!
