About Turks Head

Family friendly pub/restaurant with a children's play area in the spacious garden and sport on TV.

Built in 1902, this is a genuine local corner pub offering fine beers and food, and hosting live music on Friday. A few minutes' walk from St Margarets railway station and it's a popular meeting place for rugby fans on international weekends. The Bearcat Comedy Club has been inviting top comedians to the function room every Saturday night for more than 20 years. The smoking area outside is heated. Comprehensive food menu. Currently the garden is being transformed so that barbecues and hog roasts can make regular appearances. The pub is famed for being used for a scene in the Beatles film “A Hard Day’s Night” where Ringo played darts.

    Profession purpose built outdoor wood extension cabin, with thick waterproof hard-wearing blue material walls, internally heated with both floor seated blowers and ceiling mounted electric heat lamps placed strategically around the cabin to make perfect use of convection physics. Large quantity of 2 gang sockets and large 55" led driven televisions showing numerous sports related games. Staff were great, food was great, very busy on game and other Twickenham event days. Live music.

    We visited The Turks Head and were impressed by the warm and friendly service. The pub has a cozy atmosphere and charming character. The outdoor garden area was particularly enjoyable, providing a perfect spot to relax with a drink. The live music was an added bonus, enhancing the overall experience.

    Lovely people, lovely pub! Nuff said!!! The Turk's Head, at the north end of Twickenham is a lovely place to visit. A Fuller's pub of large dimensions. A great bar and superb, covered outdoor area. The staff are most welcoming and great at their job. Also, even the PDQ machine worked without a hitch (cradled). Fine beer and everything you would hope for from the Chiswick based Brewery (and estate guardians).

    Took a friend visiting from Japan here for an evening meal on a Thursday night. Lovely relaxing evening with great food and friendly service. Kudos to the whole team for running a great pub.
