The Three Amigos of the South West all together at The Turks Head
Brewers Max from Bath C***r House The Bath Brew House, Simon from King Street Brew House and our very own Tilly from Turks Head Exeter united for a brew hitting all our taps this season

To be honest…. Tilly did most of the work but don’t the lads look good!!

It’s a returning brew that knocked your socks off for both favour and and…. such was its success last year it wasn’t around for long. Available in both Cask and Keg form…. remember the one?

cheeky name but the artwork (and this song) may bring up some childhood movie nostalgia

We will keep you posted when it’s back

🍂 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. ❤️🍺
