Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Guests rave about the delicious Sunday roasts, especially the Yorkshire pudding. The melt-in-the-mouth featherblade beef paired with homemade horseradish stands out as a crowd favorite.
Many reviews highlight the generous portions and reasonable prices for high-quality food, making the Talbot a great spot for families and larger groups.
The extensive drink selection, particularly the carefully curated wine list, receives nods of approval. The pub hosts a lively atmosphere often filled with laughter, live music, and quiz nights, which keep patrons coming back for more.
Most Disliked
Occasionally, diners experience longer wait times during peak hours, especially on Sundays when the pub reaches full capacity. This can lead to impatience among guests eager to enjoy their meals.
Some feedback points to the occasional limited options for those with specific dietary preferences, particularly regarding desserts, despite the strong offerings in other areas.
Though most reviews praise the staff, a few mention the need for more staff during the busiest times to maintain quick service, especially on weekends.

Great staff very friendly. Reasonable priced and amazing food, fast service, and clean environment. The deserts were another level that will definitely return to try the entire desert menu. Staff were funny and welcoming but a bit ginger.

Gastro pub in the village, my husband lived as a child. Sadly, we visited for a family lunch on the day of his sisters funeral. The food was wonderful as it always has been. It was nice to remember my husbands sister here as the last time we came, it was when we were all together. Great pub that my husbands dad used to go to as well!

What a fantastic Sunday lunch - wonderful quality particularly the Yorkshire pudding which was exceptional. Loved the stuffing too. Great portions - enough to satisfy all appetites but the quality of the food is extremely good also. Try the melt in the mouth featherblade beef with the home made horseradish. Highly recommend a visit if you haven't eaten here.
