The Turks Head occupies the former Coastguard boathouse on St. Agnes a minute’s walk from the quay, enjoying commanding views over Porth Conger towards Tresco, St Martin’s & St Mary’s. The old slip-way of the boathouse is still there and the continuation of the slip in the bay can be seen at low tide.

Here they serve real ales and offer a varied bar menu lunchtimes and evenings including home-cooked daily specials using local seasonal produce when available, locally caught fish and crab, and of course, pasties.
