The renovation has brought back its historic character while blending in modern comforts, making it a must-visit spot for both locals and tourists.

🍂 The terrace is getting a glow-up…
You may have noticed our terrace has been closed recently — and after 5 years of b**r, food, laughter (and a fair bit of weather!), the old girl was definitely due some much-needed TLC.

But don’t worry… we’ll be back open next weekend. 🍻

Just in time for our favourite time of year at The Turks Head. As the colder months roll in, the pub really comes into its own — for our staff and customers alike.

And we’ve got loads planned: more seasonal b**rs, more seasonal food, more decorations and, hopefully, more reasons to settle in and stay a while.

See you on the terrace next weekend. ❤️🍺

Today we celebrate 195 glorious years of Young's Pubs 🍻🎂

In celebration Tilly has brewed the classic Young's recipe... RamRod 🐏 a 4.5% Young's Special Bitter 🍺

Coined after the Dorset Horn ram, RamRod D’Arcy, who once called Young’s brewery home, RamRod is an old favourite, known for its biscuit, toffee and dark caramel notes, balanced with a herbal bitterness 😋

Tilly has personally delivered this wonderful brew to the Young's Pubs...

The Ship Inn, The Seagate, Double Locks, City Gate Exeter, The Old Firehouse Exeter 📍

Try one when you're next in for a limited time only 😉

It's the last time our friends at The Big Kebabski are serving their delicious, awarding winning, Vegan Kebabs 😋😔

It's been an incredibly busy 8 years for them... between serving behind the Turks Head & traveling across the south west, so everyone can get their Kabab fix 🤩

We wish both Luke & Justa the absolute best in the future but keep an eye out to spot Luke behind our Turks Taps later this year 👀 ( or enjoying a pint of one of our sour b**rs 😉)

Please wish them the best in all their future endeavours ♥️

Much love,
The Turks Team x
