Talbot in Worcester

Fantastic visit. Came over from Cheltenham in the glorious sun and enjoyed some drinks in the garden (total sun trap) the place was absolutely packed with people and so busy but service was so quick ordered on the app and it came within 10 minutes handed delivered by a lovely lady who I later found out is the pub manager. Ordered some food later on in the day and it too came pretty quick despite how busy it was. My personal favourite was the salt and pepper chicken. My compliments to the chef. Great atmosphere fantastic staff. All round a great venue. Will be back more now that I spotted the massive TVs for me to watch the footie. Thanks Team Talbot

Great atmosphere exceptional staffing. Came here for business meeting. Staff were friendly and efficient, the chef was very accommodating with my food order and went above and beyond. But the star of the pub had to be Gary he is the real boss

Staff are so friendly, food was lovely, portion sizes for sharing plates were unreal. The best dog friendly place we have been too in a long time. Booked in again for mothers day this weekend.

Excellent night, great atmosphere, staff all brilliant 👏

Awful Been eating at the talbot for a number of years and the quality has been falling for about 9 months. The last meal, in February was terrible. No chips Rare steak was burnt Nachos, with extra beef turned up dripping in passata and cheddar cheese. No beef, guacamole or sour cream.

Very reasonable prices. Good food choice

Excellent pub with a lovely cat and great service

Very expensive for a Greene King pub and really slow service

The place is very good, food was amazing, staff were welcoming and polite. Atmosphere is warm and welcoming .

Brilliant place to go drinks are great food is great.

The staff are stars 🤩 and it is a lovely atmosphere lovely food and a warm welcome I can not fault them at all the staff are stars to me and will always be

Absolutely fantastic place, came in on Sunday. Staff are always warm and friendly very welcoming. Reasonably priced and cosy atmosphere. Sat in the snug area with my wife and we ordered food. Good prices and wide selection on the menu. We both ordered the Gammon and it was cooked perfectly. Arrived quickly and was piping hot. Special note to the chef... that egg was a perfect fried egg. Overall a great experience and we will be back. Would also like to say thank you to the lady behind the bar who was very attentive and welcoming.

Good food and atmosphere, staff pleasant and always happy to please.

Ash is the man and we had a fantastic evening with good company and friendly bar staff

Food lovely. Piping hot and fresh. Good menu selection at a fair price too

Beautiful pub, love coming here, staff are super lovely and great with communication and service

Brilliant service from bar staff, friendly and welcoming to newcomers. Food served was delicious and not greasy and good price.

Great pub with good food, atmosphere and people

Sophie is wonderful! She really made us feel welcome and looked after! Even though it was busy, she attended to everyone and kept a very lovely smile on her face! She made us feel that we were important. Thank you 🤩

We use the pub regularly and generally have lunch there once a week. The food is always excellently presented and Jo (General Manager) and her staff are always very pleasant and accommodating, creating a very relaxed atmosphere for dining or just a few drinks.

Sophie the bar maid was amazing! Very smiley and helpful! Recommend to everybody to come here! Will be back again in the future

Bar staff are friendly. Pub ok in need of a bit of tlc especially the restrooms!!! Notice needs putting in pub to say where the keypad is to enter your registration number. Not just placed by a fruit machine . Which in my opinion can be hidden if people are playing the fruit machine.

Sanjana the bar girl made me feel welcome and at home as soon as I walked in the pub her bright smile really lights up the room and on top of that she make a banging Guinness 🍀

Staff were unbelievable I've never felt so welcomed we travelled up and were told to come here...we turned up and they couldn't have done anything more for us would highly recommend. We had a fantastic time

The staff are very friendly and helpful. Lovely place to go for drinks and a quiz. Watching the football here is very enjoyable.

We come every Friday for lunch. Great atmosphere, brilliant service and food is great. A fantastic spot for all occasions. We always see Jo and her customer service is excellent, always very attentive and will go above and beyond to make you feel welcome.

Go to spot in Worcester, team are always friendly :)

I had the Sunday dinner tasteless food couldn't get knife through veg or parsnips sprouts hard as bullets very poor quality mest won't return

We use this restaurant regularly but have to say the turkey Christmas dinner we had recently had was excellent beyond 5 stars.

I only go for the quiz. I've been going for a few years to this pub. It was refurbished about 10years ago, but it's now looking very tired and needs more investment. The toilets are awful, and need a full refurb, the bar is OK, but the flooring is uneven and has some hardboard down where there is clearly a problem. There are better pubs in Worcester now. The food is average for pub food. It's not fine dining.

Good pub grub and range of beers made all the better by the 25% discount in January 2017 gets better as the weeks progress various offers It's now Oct 2017 offers back on. Stupid food prices with the offer suggest you get stuck in Update 12th may This place gone downhill rapidly the staff are ok but the manager is rarely seen and although the website states meals until 2200 tonight it was unilaterally shut at 2000 no explanation!!!!

Nice place to visit when it's rainy outside!

Me and my partner went in for some food and drinks and were amazed by how great the food was if we lived closer we would be here way more often

Only popped in for a drink but decided we were hungry so ordered some food. My friend is gluten free which usually makes eating out difficult but this wasn't a problem for the kitchen at all. Service was fast and the food was fresh and tasty! The chef even came down to make sure we were enjoying our food. All the staff that we encountered were super friendly nothing too much trouble. We'll definitely come back and recommend to our friends/family! Thankyou guys 😊

TV was a bit loud and the chair I was sat on sank so low that I had to look up to talk to my friend so I moved. Meal I ordered was out of stock but got offered a replacement. Unfortunately the medium steak I ordered came out rare and was missing half a tomato on the side. Drinks came out quickly though by using the app which was good. I noticed that in the women's bathroom the sinks are at the opposite side of the room to the hand dryer which means there is a constant wet floor. But of an accident waiting to happen. There was a nice natured cat roaming around while we ate which I don't personally mind but some people might want to be aware of before they go. I'd go back for a drink but not so sure about another meal.

Great find came in yesterday to watch the football good atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Haven’t been here for newly a year and was very disappointed to find it has gone down hill a lot. The food was poor quality and tiny portions .

Didn't go in for food but for a few drinks with friends and was lovely xxx

Love the place. Go once every month.. Have the dinner for 2 and drinks.. The vegetarian options really good. Taken guests from India.. It's a place we don't miss out to socialise..

Perfect for date night. Quiet and cozy with excellent food.

Lovely little cozy pub. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Found a lovely little snug area to sit in away from sports and enjoy a catch up with a friend. Didn't have food but what I could see looked and smelt delicious so will definitely be back to try some.

Great atmosphere, great beer selection, live sports on sky and BT is a bonus!

Didn't have pie options but the gammon and katsu curry were very nice.

First time here , called in for food and drinks early on a Saturday evening. Nice atmosphere , clean tables and pleasant staff. Member of staff (not sure if owner?) offered to take our photo together . Thanks, much appreciated :) Food came out in a decent time and reasonably priced at £14.49 for 2 pub classic meals. Both really enjoyable . Drinks also a decent price. Toilets clean . Tables cleared quickly in between customers. Will definitely be back for another visit for food and drinks as felt really comfortable sitting eating our tasty food and enjoying several drinks.

Hosted multiple events in their “snug” function room area and always had an amazing time! Always well looked after at The Talbot 🥰

Fantastic venue that we've used for a few parties now. Staff are very accommodating and helpful.

Burger and pint deal was great. Service was great. Had our works doo here. Team were very accommodating. Jo and Terri did a great job. Will be back for our Christmas doo

Great atmosphere. Decent priced drinks and food. Service was good and the staff were friendly and inviting. Will be returning with friends

Five macro beers, a Guinness and a craft beer. Two CAT scales which were old stuff didn't have a clue

On visiting, found the pub to be what I expected, clean, bright and welcoming. Service was good and timely. Definitely recommended if you’re in the area.

Ordered food and drinks together on a Saturday evening, food came in 20 mins but after waiting 45 minutes still no drinks. Went to the bar and asked and was told ‘Oh yeah I’ll start those now for you’, no explanation no apology. Apparently the bar was ‘busy’ but definitely wasn’t busy enough to warrant a 45 minute wait. When drinks were eventually brought over (close to an hour at this point) there was still no ‘sorry for the wait’ or anything.

Slow service for food, but you get what you pay for. Above average 👍

Great pub just enjoyed a burger and pint great price will be returning.

Went for some food and drinks with a couple of mates and was pleasantly surprised at how good the food and service was. Was a lovely atmosphere and the 2 lads working were very attentive and helpful. Will happily be coming back again!

Just popped in for a drink. Speedy service

Wonderful place! Food always good and staff are brilliant.

The Talbot is the most welcome place to enjoy good food, nice ales, and very friendly staff nothing to much trouble.

Great atmosphere, lots of tables. Would of liked there to be more big tables or room to move tables together as we had to sit near to tv which was playing football while we had a committee catch up

Came here for some drinks with my friends and got served by someone who has an inability to smile, two of my friends ordered a draught beer but there wasnt any nozzles on which is strange considering the pub wasn't supposed to close for another 2 hours and there was a fair few others on the premises, so her pint was flat. Asked if this could be changed and the same happened again. They have cat food out which looks as if its been there for days, its crusty which is disgusting. Also ordered cocktails and was wondering if theres an ice shortage as not one of us got offered ice. The pub has fallen since the old landlord left. Wont be coming back

Nice clean local pub staff were friendly and professional food was good quality

Have been coming to the Talbot for a long time and always have a nice time. The staff are welcoming and atmosphere relaxed. Food is always excellent with good portion sizes. They have tv's that show sport but it is not loud like in some pubs. Would recommend for food or just drinks. They have lots of outside seating too.

Tried a little small talk with the lady behind the bar. Not interested. No real bitter. Loud swearing folk at near table. Swearing whilst walking out the door too. "Cheers" I said whilst returning my glass. Nothing from her. Disappointing. Will not return.

Arrived at 7:30 on a Saturday night to be told they had no clean wine glasses and couldn’t have a wine. Gobsmacked! My friends who had already had a glass gave them their empty glasses to reuse and I ended up with a beer glass to drink my wine from! Unbelievable!!!!We left after that drink and won’t be back.

Very warm welcome including the lovely friendly cat. Good food at a reasonable price.

Went on a Sunday late afternoon was Nice atmosphere but the Sunday roast was a disappointment the veg was hard and the potatoes that seemed frozen ones were not all cooked all the way through they brought us more veg and told us they couldn't cook it more than 4 mins already cooked so finally got a refund other food we have had in past has been nice but the Sunday roast I wouldn't recommend

Great pub, amazing quiz on a Thursday, lovely food, lovely crowd, and an incredible and hard working bar team. Don’t have anything negative to say!

Always very quick service from the team, never fail to impress me

Having had visited the Talbot on multiple occasions, I feel it be necessary to comment on the approach taken towards the service by staff. Frankly speaking, each time at the establishment I have been served by the same server at the bar. His attitude is unwelcoming and not approachable. If able to I would have requested a different bar person as he had presented unpolitenees towards me every single time. He seems unknowledgeable regarding discounts and discouraging towards the products advertised on the menu, even when the options are limited due to stock. Such a shame to see the staff not promote the lovely atmosphere and the quality of product.

I had a bad pint of carling and it was bad but the server said was acceptable NOT IN MY OPINION sad but never again

Friendly, peaceful and great beer.

Nice pub, food is generally good. Pub is cosy, prices aren't bad.

Jonny and his team were brilliant throughout the Euros, a very friendly place to go to as well with a beautiful outdoor garden.

Absolutely love the Talbot. Best pub in worcester, staff are amazing and friendly, food is great and priced well. The atmosphere for the euros this year was amazing. Thanks so much for all of your hard work !!!! 🤍

Staff were very busy and very helpful

Good atmosphere a pints a bit pricey

Wanted to get some drinks, a bowl of chips, and play a game of pool. Pub didn't have enough food so refused to serve sides from the menu. Pool table had only one cue, and it was worn to the point of being unpleasant to use. Staff were apologetic and friendly, but it put me off coming back.

Popped in last on spec with our 2 dogs . Food was spot on service was great and friendly . Great outdoor area with cover .can't wait to come back . ( don't forget to sign in for free park )

Great pub in the heart of Worcester! Being a Greene King there is an excellent selection of beer to choose from, pints are always poured consistently and correct! The food is always top tier, as is the service from staff who always have time for a chat. Keep up the great work 👍🏻

Lovely pub for cheap pub food. Great beer garden. Sports pub so would be a good on match days I expect.

Had a great meal here with my family. Would definitely recommend. Great staff and great management.

Been visiting the Talbot for over 20 years,but since the latest management has taken over its really declined as an establishment...I no longer bring my family here for food as the quality just isn't there like it once was...the toilets are always filthy and full of teens offering narcotics and I feel it's no longer a safe place to bring my children & wife...really disappointed

Really good pub with a great outdoor space and very good parking

Meal was OK but the lettuce was old. Bit disappointed tbh.

Me and my wife had an amazing afternoon in the Talbot the staff are very friendly and chatty food was excellent very fast service would recommend highly

We just popped in on the off chance and what a great find this place is. Great food and great drinks. We will definitely be back.

Went to a wake here they put on a really good spread, service at bar was excellent

Great pub very friendly staff and great food

This has to be the worst and roughest pub in Worcester. The staff are rude and disrespectful and never smile and they look really grubby. The toilets are dirty and smelly with urine all over the floor and no loo roll. And the food is not fit for human or dog consumption. With so many other pubs to try in Worcester definitely swerve this place. Can't believe they are still trading !

Lovely pub in terms of food and atmosphere. Only downside is it has a sign on the accessible toilet stating baby changing when there isn't a table in there.

Friendly, good prices and lovely pub cat too.

Great pub, delicious food. The only issue I had was the fact that with the steak pie and mash, you only have 2 choices no gravy or extra gravy. You have to pay more for extra.

Good at a lot of things but not great. Nice bar area and lounge, quiz is good and also have a nice out door area. The food is typical for this type of pub. It's ok. I had the pie which was actually quite nice with broccoli (which was undercooked and mash potato which was ok and gravy which was so think I could barely pour it out the gravy boat. However it was fine as the positives made up for the negatives. The beer is nothing special with usual lagers and off the shelf beers. But this pub isn't claiming to be a real ale establishment so it's fair to say the drinks are fine. By all means this isn't a negative review. If you would like beer some reasonable beer and wine. At reasonable prices you can't go wrong here. Well done

Visited during our stay at the apartments next door . Lovely pub .. friendly staff . Had the seniors lunch one visit and dinner on another visit . Both were very good meals and great service .. would recommend!

Came in on spur of the minute and what a lovely surprise… attentive bar staff, cracking no nonsense pub grub and Garry the pub cat! Friendly atmosphere with lots going on - quizzes etc. Will certainly be back

Came for Christmas meal. Booking the event was abit of a nightmare but all in all the food was good and atmosphere was nice and quiet no shouting over the table to be heard.

Came here an about a year ago and what an awful pub this was. We heard there was a new landlord here so we have it a go over bank holiday. What can I say. What a change to this pub all for the better. We went in to find great entertainment and the new landlord really made an effort and his amazing team. I must say thank god for the change we love the talbot. We will he back,

Good selection of beers and ales and one of the top places to go for a drink if you want to see Justin from the feathers sloping around telling all the punters that it's better over the road in the feathers.

Nice simple pub food. Went on a Sunday and it was quiet. Been here lots and never had an issue

Hi we were looked after well when we worked at The Talbot. Nest time in Worcester will be one place il go too .

What a lovely find! We've driven past this pub so many times and not really noticed it but cycling past it one day we decided to stop for lunch, as the food was so reasonably priced. We returned last week thinking it couldn't be that good again but it was even better. We had the "senior menu" which was beautiful food at an affordable price. The Talbot has a lovely friendly, relaxed atmosphere and Jo, the deputy manager made us feel really welcome. Hopefully we'll get to meet Gary (the Talbot cat) next time!!
