Turk's Head

Walk through the doors of Turk's Head and you're stepping into the kind of pub that's been fuelling Exeter's conversations for decades. Tucked right on High Street, it's got that lived-in feel — creaky floorboards, dark wood, the sort of place where regulars have their spots and the staff remember what you drink. You'll find proper ale on tap, a no-nonsense approach to hospitality, and the sort of atmosphere that makes you want to linger over a pint rather than rush through. It's the antidote to the chain pubs cluttering the city centre, the kind of local that keeps Exeter feeling like a real place.
