Located near the Tynemouth Priory and Castle, the Turks Head is also a short walk (300-500 meters)…read morefrom Tynemouth metro station. The pub is at the end of the main drag. They had short menu, but it looked mostly like traditional pub food. The greatest thing about it was it all was a reasonable price. I paid 3.99 GBP for a burger and a soft drink. The burgers come with a generous garnish of chips (fries). Being a pub, they have a large and full bar. It didn't look like there was outdoor seating, and the indoor seating wasn't extremely large. There were some "cheap" forms of entertainment, like a coin-operated video game and a dart board. The pub was, as it is in England of course, overflowing with English pride. There's a cash machine on site (not free withdrawl). The beef burger is huge! It has two patties, bacon and bit of real cheese. It was probably 3/4 of a pound of meat. It had a very beefy-bacony flavor, and it was on a very good bun. I opted to put the packet of barbecue sauce on it, since it needed a little more moisture. Food service starts at noon. The wait staff brings you the food, but you must order at the bar. The wait for the food was just about right, on the verge of being a little long, the staff look a little weighed down by the bar service. Be aware, this was at 2:00 PM. At later times, food service might be even slower because of increased bar patronage. The interior is nice. It's all wooden and pub-like. The bar is especially nice and antiquey. It looks to be made of aging cherry; this place doesn't look like it has changed in at least 100 years. Great value. Good food. Ima gonna have to give this-a-one five stars!

Service even on a Sunday night was a bit ropey (NB after 7pm the prices come down 15%) and the preferred practice seemed to be to not wash glasses as they go but just do it all at the end of the night. They do though have some very nice branded glasses which I'm sure they lose a bunch of through theft. Good as the final port of call on a crawl.

The building itself is steeped in history with many a ghost story behind it and a few stories as such adorn the wall letting you know all about it's history. The food is good, some hits and some misses, but overall good fayre. The Sunday dinners are very good, good enough for me to have my christmas dinner here, but this is mainly because of my next point. The one thing which I like is the friendly atmosphere helped by the always friendly staff. All in all a good boozer with good food and a great atmosphere
