Retford most unspoilf pub! A gem, Tim Taylor's Landlord superb.

A lovely traditional pub with a friendly atmosphere, staff are excellent and drinks are a really fair price.

This was an exciting pub to visit, set in a glorious ancient building and having an old-school design! This is also welcoming through the Beach Bar imagery, classic signs are worthy and the counter is well-presented. I enjoyed some cheap Guinness and pool was so affordable and fun, me and my friend were blessed at two games in! The staff were friendly too, lighting is solid and cleanliness had been maintained.

Great little pub. Hasn’t changed in years which is brilliant. Actually the one thing that has changed is the beer - it’s a lot better kept these days. Had a great pint of landlord. Classic old pub highly recommend

A friendly local pub, I don't think they do food though. It's dog friendly and serves real ale so that'll do for me!

Great 'local' atmosphere. Enjoyed 3 excellent pints of Landlord. First was a little cloudy, the bar staff made a point of coming across to offer to change it but as the taste was good and it had a good body I stuck with it. Pints 2 and 3 beautifully clear. Will certainly return when next visiting my son.

Great Timothy Taylor's Landlord.

Wonderful heritage pub. Plenty of wood panels. Three real ales. Rocking Rudolph 4.2 excellent condition. Great place to relax. Highly Recommended

Lovely pub, but too many people standing at the bar drinking when ur waiting to be served

First visit on Halloween. Great staff, great atmosphere and well cheap

Great original 1930's interior. Music a little loud but it was a Saturday evening. Good beer.

Great atmosphere, friendly happy staff.

Great pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord.

Absolutely cracking pub staff and locals make you feel welcome plenty going on here check it out!!

Great town pub. Good beers and lovely staff.

Wonderful real ale pub. Friendly atmosphere and some reasonably eccentric customers. Every one should visit at least twice just to make sure you got it right the first time.

Old fashioned pub but a friendly atmosphere I like how they've arranged tne garden seating.

Fantastic atmosphere and friendly service

Lovely pint of hand pulled beer plus a log fire can't go wrong

Stopped here for drinks. Good pub atmosphere. Welcoming and comfortable environment. Very old proper pub full of character.

Very happy with the food Best Indian lve had Nice people good service all 10 served at same time so had a bit of wait but we'll worth it.Will go again.

This is one of those increasingly rare pubs that has kept its historic interior without being painted a horrible sage green or grey colour. I don't think this pub has substantially changed in my lifetime and preserves a fantastic and genuine 30s interior. That's not to say it's shabby, but it's not had the horrendous Louis IV do-over that's ruined so many decent pubs. They've got genuine oak panelling, old fashioned bar stools, and a fire! The crowd that goes here is very friendly - you don't feel like you're invading their space and like a lot of Retford people are happy to chat. The beer is well kept and the pub obviously has good cellars. My only slight niggle is that I'd prefer a wider range of local ales. If they'd only expand their local ale range this would be my go-to pub in Retford. If you're a pub enthusiast or spending a few nights in Retford this is one to add to the list of decent pubs in the town. To the owners I'd say, please, please, please stay away from the Farrow and Ball and retain the ambience, because it's getting so much harder to find a genuine pub like this. From an atmosphere point of view if you like this vibe you'd also like the Black Boy in Retford and The Mallard in Worksop - all fabulous locals.

With its stone mullion windows you expect something “olde worldly” about the Turk’s Head, and that’s what you get. The interior of this pub doesn’t quite stretch to an ancient, rustic look but has a very pleasing decor of smart wooden panelling and all the expected ceiling beams. The central style bar is also all wood panelling and although all this wood might seem over the top, they get away with it - just. Yet if the style is old fashioned, the atmosphere is not, and I thought that the music being played was very good - but as it featured a lot of Scots bands (Gerry Cinnamon and Texas) I might be biased! The service was friendly and welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. This is a really good pub.

Kay and l loved The Turks Head,friendly staff,great service with a cheery response,great choice of drinks.No music,just a bunch of young chaps having a great time playing pool.Absolute pleasure.Wonderful locals and a geniune old boozer,comfy seats with a old type draft barrier at entrance.

A lovely local pub very clean staff brilliant variety of beers and reasonable prices

The Tommy Cooper Arms is sound folks, great staff

Brilliant, very good atmosphere friendly staff are brilliant,

Great afternoon in a very welcoming pub

Best pub we have visited for ages, lovely friendly service and even went the extra yard to make the coffee one of our group asked for. If your passing call in you won't regret it!!!😁😁😁

Lovely traditional pub.nice revamped beer garden.good service.friendly.helpful staff.not many pubs left like this.its a little gem.great cocktails too.

Really good karaoke on Friday night's, bar staff are welcoming and friendly and the regulars are really good singers , and very friendly. The sound system is the best I've heard in a long time, worth going to for a good night out

A one star review (really?) slagged off the Turk’s head for its wine. It’s a pub. Get over it. The beer is great, the bar staff are friendly and welcoming. A great pub.

Just popped in there for a swift one before going for a meal. Very friendly barmaid who you could have a laugh with. Well kept pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord. Could do with some new glasses for soft drinks though. Group of twenty somethings celebrating a birthday and knocking back Sambucas at 5.00pm. Very noisy indeed but not intimidating, they were just having a laugh. Would loved to have seen the state of them at midnight! Obviously not as cheap but more fun than the Wetherspoons just up the road.

All staff are really friendly, nice old style looking pub and plenty of things to do throughout the week.

A proper, traditional pub with good beer and good service. Wood panelling, copper table tops, open fire, plenty of brass. Old-fashioned but well maintained - a gem.

Like it for its well kept Real Ales and bar room banter.

Old fashioned pub but quite nice. Good blonde ale.

Its ok very busy pub especially on Friday evenings when Kenny's kareoki is on which is obviously good for the landlady

Nicky and the staff are such fun . Love it

Nice real ales good selection and a friendly atmosphere.

Traditional and unchanged. A proper pub. Warm and welcoming.

Great atmosphere and always love playing the bull ring.

Good pub but pricey in a discount town it's about a quid dearer for a pint in here than over the road

Real traditional pub. One of a dieing breed. A must visit if you're local or not.

The Turk's Head used to be a pub where one could go to relax and have a quiet drink and a conversation...not any more. It's still a nice pub but the music is deafening and the beer is far too expensive.

Nice pint and lovely room upstairs where you can get extras Nikki even warms the bed up for you😘

No great shakes when you walk in here,you get what you pay for. On the who,e very average,needs a cash injection to spark the place up again.Worth considering as so many licenced premises are being updated,and if you're not careful you will be sadly left behind.

Nice traditional cask marque pub. Dog friendly and lovely welcoming staff. Recommended.

Lovely friendly staff. Best cocktails in town.

A super traditional town pub with excellent friendly staff quality of the beers is superb.

Friendly , proper 'old school' pub. Traditional inn

Traditional town pub. Good atmosphere and welcoming.

Great barstaff good selection of beers fantastic atmosphere 11 out of 10

It's an OK pub but very expensive for where it is.just over the road is wetherspoons so a full £1 less per pint. I personally call in for one pint at the end of a night out while my food is being prepared next door

Another visit on a Friday lunch time.Fast friendly service at good prices.Authentic old fashioned pub with a good atmosphere.A welcome change from the large chain pubs where one can wait for ages to get served.It has a pool table and plays good background music.This is not a restaurant.

Had pre drinks before going for a meal, lovely friendly old style pub, do loads of Gins which is just fab! excellent loved it, nice atmosphere

Great staff good beers lovely place

Friday night Best karioki in town

Warm friendly local pub with good beers

Great pub lovely staff great range of gins

What a dump this is now!!!. Used to be a fantastic pub - best in Retford. Real pub selling real ales but oh dear oh dear what has gone wrong? The person who runs it now used to run other pubs in Retford, all of them have closed down now, get the hint? It's now full of low-lifes and I wouldn't dream of going in there now, far too rough. Can't see this staying open much longer.

Visited on a Friday lunch time having left Wetherspoons opposite as could not get served.Served immediately in a friendly way.Beer and prices good.Cosy old style interior with tables and chairs outside at the back.Will visit again as so many traditional pubs have disappeared.

I visited this pub on a night out in Retford with some friends and this pub was one of the highlights of my night. Walking in, the pub has a classic, oldy worldy feel that a lot have lost, while still being clean and in perfect condition. The staff are lovely, and contribute to the friendly atmosphere very well. On top of all that, the prices are good and I would certainly recommend it for a pint!

Looking for a chance o hark back to what an old time boozer was all about? Then do try The Turk's Head in Retford. It has a distinctive ambiance that sets it aside from all other hostelries in the town. Timber panelled walls encase this quaint little bar that can hold a surprising number of people when it's in full flow. It makes no pretensions to be anything other than it was originally designed for, a snug warm and friendly little drinking establishment offering a fine ale for those inclined to sample a fine cask. Nikki the land lady has seen her efforts to reestablish The Turks to be once again a stopping place of choice for all ages. She offers a fine selection of Malt whiskey and got this old Jock's taste buds a tingle when he and the good lady decided to try the resurgence of gin! Again there is a wide selection including for those inclined, cocktails perhaps the only nod to modern day drinking! Regulars and visitors alike do not want this old time boozer to change or go, so please to help keep a little of the past alive in an ever changing modern world pay a visit if just for one. Enjoy.

I love this place it serves wonderful real ale in a very traditional atmosphere , if you want pot plants fruit machines loud music and large televisions then this is not the place for you! In the winter with timber panelling and real fires its a warming comfortable place to be

Decoración clásica de Pub. Cervezas tibias de barril con bomba manual. Muy buena la cerveza bitter. Billar, privados. Muy acogedor. Atención buena y rápida. Lo recomiendo.

Almost eight pounds for two glasses of lukewarm white wine so bad you wouldn't even cook with it. One was supposed to be Chardonnay, one a Pinot, both very unpleasant. Taken from a household fridge in the back room, yet nowhere near chilled. Is the fridge even turned on? The wine in Wetherspoon's, over the road, is better than this!
