The Turks Head - County Durham

We ordered three different meals - Yorkshire Pudding, Cheeseburger, and Chicken and Cheese Baguette - all of which were delicious and came in generous portions for £6.95 each. The prices for beer and cider were also reasonable. It seems like the place could use a new makeover under the new management, but I understand that the pub has just reopened recently. Despite this, we will definitely be returning in the future.

My wife and I called in last Friday after walking in nearby Baldersdale. We ordered two drinks and two hoagy sandwiches. Mine was cheese and pickle and it arrived pretty promptly with chips and a fresh side salad. My wife had cheese and tomato.We both enjoyed our visit to The Turk 's Head . It is a traditional, independent English pub right next to the marketplace. But the best thing of all was the bill! Two drinks and two lunches for less than £10. Incredible value.

Been coming here for years, but since the new Managers took over it's gone downhill whereas the prices have gone up! The poor staff are sometimes run ragged because the Managers can't get a hold on required staffing levels.On a plus point, the food is still great value and the staff are lovely. The Managers, however, are disinterested!

I’ll start out with a positive, young lad Sam was lovely and great to chat to as always, have come here for years now and was always a positive of the pub, however after the new manager has taken over the service has gone down, bar the young mans. The new manager seemed extremely dismissive of me and took a while to serve me even though there was no one else to be served. Little customer service skills. Price has also risen from £2.20 to £3.50 for a pint of dark fruits in the space of a year and a half, used to be the cheapest in town and now one the most expensive.

As a somewhat regular to this pub for a number of years, i feel the recent change in managemant and staffing has somewhat taken the soul that i remember from this pub. The recent price rises are pricing out any of the old clientell, however i was excited to see whether this significant price hike would result in an improvement in the quality or number of bubbles in my pint,i was unfortunately dissapointed. This pub was known to be cheap and cheerful, for old and young, however it is no longer cheap and i no longer feel at home like i used to. Rude managers and ever changing staff lead me to seek other pub in town to frequent.
