££££Precio: Caro • French • Wapping
In 2019 Philippe and J.J. were en route to view an apartment in Shoreditch. Philippe: French and a jewellery designer, the temper mental, creative one. JJ: English well versed in dealing with difficult situations and challenging clients. Unfortunately they got lost, missed the viewing and ended up instead at The Turks Head while they tried to ring the the estate agent. The couple seated at the next table were in the middle of a heated, easily overheard conversation and it became apparent that one of the people in question was the owner, and that the subject under discussion was the decision to sell and move on and that’s where our story starts. Could this be it? We leant over, joined in the conversation and expressed interest. One week later The Turks Head was ours. The menus are built round this and dishes are prepared to order. The downside is that when it’s gone, regretfully it’s gone, but we like to think our guests appreciate that quality is everything. It certainly is to us.
