ROB Camra left this review about Turks Head Hotel
Known locally as "The Stuffed Dog" it is obvious why as there is a stuffed dog behind a glass panel to the left as you enter. Two nicely decorated rooms with a short drinking corridor between them. The rear room only has about 6 tables and is quite plush. The front room is larger and a bit more basic, but still neat. Both rooms have large screen TVs for sport. The outside is all white tiled and has stained glass windows. 6 beers available during our visit and my pint of Tynebank Single Blonde was in good nick. We were served by a friendly barmaid and also got a 10% CAMRA discount off the beers.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Turks Head Hotel
A traditional pub consisting of well worn boards and original dark mahogany bar. The pub is known as the stuffed dog to the locals, as there is a real stuffed dog in a display cabinet to the left of the bar. The Cullercoats Brewery Lovely Nelly was excellent.
