Perfect English style dinner, apple cider and Fish & Chips. Perfectly cooked, with crispy breading and perfect chips. The cider, which was my first time drinking, was pleasantly fresh and delicious

If you fancy a lovely quiet 30th birthday celebration I wouldn’t bother booking, however if you fancy being subject to a violent unprovoked attack by their regulars, by all means do pay a considerable sum to host an event here. Two of their longstanding ‘clientele’ started a fight with my party members and the handling of this situation by the staff and management team/owner has been absolutely appalling. This is after the two in question had been sitting drinking since 2pm the same day - a casual 7 hours of drinking time had by these foul men before the event unfolded. Not sure that’s a coincidence. After radio silence from the establishment after the event, I expressed my bitter disappointment and how appalled I was with their management and asked for a small refund due to the party being cut short after 2 hours. Cue the the owners intervention, who has decided to sit behind his computer playing keyboard warriors, changing his story every few sentences alongside spouting outright lies about the events of the night and various other topics. It’s funny how he seems to think he knows exactly what happened, however waltzed in 10 minutes before we decided to call it a night and leave? Not once has anyone called me to find out if A) I/my party are ok and B) apologise. You as an establishment control who enters/frequents/drinks in your pub - you have got it catastrophically wrong. The organisation prior to the event itself was also terrible. Emailing 3 different people, having to chase them for answers but then being chased myself for things I’d already responded on. Do not recommend whatsoever.

We recently held a party in the hayloft to celebrate our wedding and it was brilliant. Archie and Chris were really helpful answering all of our questions in the lead up and on the day all of the staff were great. The food was lovely and they catered for our vegan and gf guests as well! Our party was everything we hoped and more thank you!

I’m not one for leaving bad reviews (I never have) but this was so bad! We had been looking forward to a family meal out but we were served fish and chips in what was at least 5 day old oil, frozen bread in my bruschetta, dried heated up frozen pizza and hummus covered in pepper and paprika on the children’s menu which was also inedible. After only a few mouthfuls my oldest son had an upset tummy on the way home and the rest of us left hungry. No one came to ask us if our food was ok, if we wanted drinks etc. It was awful food and awful service and cost £120.

We ate here recently after not having done so for a while. We were so impressed! We have eaten roasts everywhere and the Talbot roast beef was one of the best I have had - really tender and flavoursome. We also ate a whipped goat's cheese and heritage tomatoes starter that was delicious. There was lots of rich sauce with the sticky toffee pudding. The man who served us (whose name I didn't get) was really friendly and pleasant. We will definitely be back.

Went for Sunday Roast. Roast was dissapointing. Veggies not cooked, roast potatoes soggy and tasteless. Server said she would sort it out. Never did. Just ignored it. There was 10 of us all family. Service charged was price of another person(£40). Really not worth the price. Service charge should be capped. Very expensive when most of us didn't enjoy the food. Won't be going back.

Service was great. Setting was nice. The Roast was good, perhaps a little undercooked for us. Upon request, they did cook the meat further for those that requested it after receiving the dish. Found the gravy a little bland.

The staff were friendly and the decor is great this pub has real potential and used to have a good chef. My meal however was abysmal. The menu is not cheap and is limited, my mother ordered a risotto which tasted straight from the freezer and instead of parmesan shavings the kitchen thought shaved mature cheddar would be a classy touch. My thick cut chips were not home made but had a similar freezer quality and my pizza I am convinced by the base and topping was actually Dr Oetekar. £46 for this rubbish that was on a par with the Harvester.

What a great find. Portions here are insanely generous. Booked ahead for Sunday lunch, had a wonderful table downstairs next to the bar. Very apt at catering for gluten free, alternative bread was great for starters, and I felt I had plenty of choices. Highlight of the meal was the festive oven baked Camembert with cranberry - absolutely phenomenal. Fish and chips was too large to eat it all, though I did try, and friends all had roasts which looked incredible, again, generous portion sizes. Staff were great. Felt thoroughly taken care of, and very dog friendly inside with treats available for furry friends! Parking at Broad St car park is free, and very conveniently close.

We visited The Talbot for the first time as looked so nice and cosy from the outside but restaurant felt more like a canteen with no atmosphere, cheap furniture and lighting too bright. Artwork I saw was also pretty pointless and didn't add anything to it! Risotto with red cabbage and goats cheese was tasteless and didn't look appetising at all. The steak in pie was very chewy and inedible! The young lady who served us was excellent though and attentive and the bar to the front was cosy but we didn't stay long as we weren't in the mood for a dj

Deliziosa pizza superiore! Have been to The Talbot many times... Sunday lunch, celebration meals and the occasional enjoyable drink. Tuesday night Pizza Night... It's been a thing for ages but never gone. Thought we were going to the pub for a pizza? Turned out we went to a Pizzeria for a pint! Fantastic pizzas! Fresh made, light dough bases that blistered perfectly. Fresh toppings that covered all of our tastes... Beats all the other chain restaurants in area hands down.

First visit, it was a Tuesday night. Really pleasantly surprised at the buzzy atmosphere. Team were smiley happy and attentive. Had a great meal and just enjoyed the overall feel of the place. My youngest daughter said she loved it and had a great night. I felt the same. Let's hope they keep that going. All to often you find places like this and return some time later to find they've slacked off. Hoping this isn't one of those places. I'm sure it won't be. Thoroughly recommend.

5 stars for the camembert and noodles. 1 star, and that's generous, for the extremely poor chicken and beef burgers. Dry barely covers it. They were awful. The duck noodles rescue this review to 3 stars. But I won't be returning. Many better options in the area.

After having had a not so brilliant experience of takeaway from here recently we were invited by the manager to come and dine in. Luckily for us we chose the Greek night to do so! The staff have clearly changed over recently which might explain the previous bad experience, but they were all helpful, smiling and friendly! And the Greek platter was delicious, with a great wine recommended to complement. Will be coming back soon.

Fantastic Pub. Visiting for just a pint a lovely little pub with great seating inside in a cosy feel pub or outside in a court yard with outside cover and heaters. We also enjoyed dinner in the restaurant which had excellent service and food that very generous in size portions. Large variety of menu which we strongly believe has something for every taste bud. Visiting on the first Monday of the month brought along the monthly Quiz nights. Which was great fun to participate in - even if we did have the team with the least amount knowledge. Overall would highly recommend this Pub!

Been here a few times now and it one of my preferred places to meet, eat and drink. Lovely place, great atmosphere and very welcoming staff. Food isn't the cheapest but really good, worth the extra compared to other places I've tried. Nice selection of local ale too. Huge bonus is they're 100% dog friendly! Only downside is parking can be difficult but, again, worth it if you have to park up the road and walk back. Definitely recommend this place.

On the actual night, the team were exceptional, staff friendly and really helpful, the room looked brilliant, the food was excellent, all our guests loved the venue. Fantastic place, whether it be for a swift drink, evening meal, event hire or musical event, 100% recommend and we will definitely be back. Thank you!

We've gotten to know the staff well as we visit every time I go to my mums house. Its a nice cafe with loads of seats and very good priced quality food. I'm not a vegetarian but I always pick the Vege breakfast because its delecious. I have had other set breakfasts in the past and they're all good but the Vege breakfast is just right for me.
