Closed and boarded up.

Looks OK from a distance, but as you see the signage close up you get that dreadful sinking feeling that you are not going to get a decent pint of beer inside. Having said that, that atmosphere seemed more friendly than most other pubs in the area and there is quite a nice area out the back. Had to make do with a 'nothing' pint of John Smiths, but even a single real ale on could make this a reasonable place. Shame.

Was fine when i went in on a midweek afternoon. Not the nicest interior but a pleasant garden which overlooks a small stream. Handy for the station.

Not somwhere to meet new friends for sure, quite agressive hate filled undertones especially towards those who don't have a trade and/or drive a white van.
Could really be so much better/busier/more fun to go as it's so close to a train station.
Could encourage more civilised younger clientelle also.
Must drop in prices across the board as well as estabishementm on weekends.
Average

A rather uncouth clientele when i was here last week,not really the place to take a beautiful woman

A very good 'community' pub with a warm welcome and friendly locals. A very lively atmosphere - the landlord and his team are obviously putting a lot of effort into the place which is clearly appreciated by the regulars. Only drawback from my point of view - no ales, so another session on Guinness (not really a hardship). Came in here after leaving the Sun and Woolpack down the road and the difference in ambience was very noticeable after the emptiness of the S&W.

After only just moving to the area, this became my local pub. Very friendly with happy bubbly staff.
The pub has resently indroducted a jazz band on a sunday evening from 7pm, they come in and do jamming sessions and everyone is welcome to join in. It is a great fun evening, my sunday evenings have not been the same since i started enjoying them here.
Also friday and saturday nights are very good in here to, which karokke and live music.

Having been persuaded to return to the Turkey after being advised the management has changed i was extremely surprised and pleased to see a full selection of beers and other stock which was not the case on my last visit.The pub is now cleaner,full of friendly faces with a great atmosphere and the bar staff are attentive and welcoming. it appears things are returning to how it was a few years earlier and the new tenant is making every effort to ensure all visitors are welcome.

I returned to this pub after several years away only to find poor service,miserable faces,and hardly any drinks,customers complaining of lack of concern by the pathetic excuse of a manager...dont stop drive pass double speed.
