REFINED AND UNCONTROLLED LOVE OF TURKISH FOOD

Refined and uncontrolled love of Turkish food found in

a historical building in the heart of Bishop’s Stortford

It has much of a 17th century style of building design, with rooms overhanging the
asphalt and dark unique Tudor shafts on the exterior.
Gourmet Turk is at the town focus. Masons presumably constructed it to house
artisans dealing with St Michael’s congregation in the 15th century.
This building has a long and distinguished gastronomy history, having been set up
inverse St Michael’s congregation since in any event the 15th century. It was then the
brewery for the church ales.
The building is stunning, with the original black and white and Tudor beams, and
really looks almost unchanged, despite 2 fires in recent history.
Nowadays, Gourmet Turk, inside this handsome old building serves good and
delightful Turkish food, and offers good warmth and company, the staff are
welcoming, and it’s a pleasant place to spend your meals.
