The Turk's Head 1 Green Bank, London E1W 2PA

"Delightful little cafe with consistently great coffee. Dinner portions on the smaller side (for me). Breakfast reasonably priced and service always good. If it’s cold there are heaters and blankets in the inside area. The outside area is only comfortable in the summer months but it’s wonderful when available - the surrounding park makes it feel far less urban that it is."

"Charming cafe/restaurant with friendly staff and a nice vibe. We visited today for some coffee and cake. The pastries tasted a bit stale but the lemon drizzle cake wasn’t half bad. Overall a great spot to visit - it really was quite lovely to sit outdoors in the terrace area and enjoy the sounds of the park. My only suggestion would be that staff need to be more aware of customers waiting to be served in the outdoor seating area. We waited for quite a while and in the end had to go ask someone to come and take our order. Otherwise no other issues."

"Pretty pub garden with a nice atmosphere for catching up - it’s covered and has some heaters, although a couple don’t work. The gentleman who served us kindly offered us blankets instead. The food was ok - I had the mussels, which came with a generous serve of fries. My friends had a chicken liver salad and the salmon gravlax, as they had run out of the salmon main. We finished off with the chocolate fondant, which was incredibly rich and very very sweet. Value was variable - I thought my mussels (£13) and the dessert (£9.50) were great value, but the salads (at £14 and £16 - or £23 as it ended up being) probably less so. Service was very friendly and polite and they all made us feel welcome. At the end of the meal they charged us for the salmon main instead of the salmon salad (a £7 difference), which I didn’t notice at the time. My email to rectify has gone unanswered, so I’d just suggest double-checking the bill at the table, as I should have done!"

"Fantastic prices, Fantastic food, beautiful outdoor seating (with heat). My wife said they were the best Beans she's ever had. Only negative was the rude people who sat next to us, coughing and blowing their noses. Too many people around London don't seem to realize that there is a global pandemic. So if you go to Turks Head, go early to avoid the covid crowd."
