The Talbot in Cotswold - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Friendly service but don't order tomato mozzarella salad.. The salad came but no mozzarella nor tomato to be found. Strange! For 12 pounds I would expect something else. I should have sent it immediately back to the kitchen. The sourdough bread wasn't sourdough at all either. All the other plates looked consistent and correct. Fried food is what they are good at I suppose.

Had a great night at The Talbot, drinks aplenty & great live music from David Fitzgerald & his younger brother. Kieren & the staff were so nice & friendly, we were well looked after.

The quality of the food was okay, nothing you can really complain about, except maybe the amount of chips with the sandwiches. However, there were no options for either vegetarians or vegans. They do have a veggie burger, however, this wasn’t on the menu. Meaning my only option was a cheese and pickle sandwich. They then had the cheek to ask demand we pay the service charge, despite it saying ‘optional’ on the menu. They said we should have asked to have it taken off before, even though we weren’t asked. Why would we give them extra for no food options for the vegetarian in our party? The waitress was lovely, it’s not her fault. But the bar staff were rude. I wouldn’t go back.

Excellent food, my husband had ham, eggs and chips and i had the scampi. Very filling and very tasty. Will definitely return. Good atmosphere. Well done to the young lady who served us.

Got is just right for a traditional pub, many of the food establishments surrounding it that are a tad “arty farty” for us , here we were greeted with friendly staff, good music, nothing too much trouble and decent food. Glad we ended up here for lunch 👍🏼

Great pub , simple food done nice . Friendly staff . Nice food , this is how a pub should be , Great experience , we are so glad we stopped here instead of passing through , We highly recommend this pub .

We regularly visit SOW to meet friends it takes 1hr 45 mins each way so we look forward to a catch up and lunch . Since the pandemic I realise that menus have less selection because of staff shortages . We were welcomed in a friendly manner and shown to a table for 6 ,so the 4 of us had plenty of space so a good start . A waiter arrived and asked for drinks order ,my friend asked for the drinks list he said there wasn't one and just realed off a list of drinks ,how would you order a bottle of wine .We ordered 4 soft drinks and had no idea of the price of them until later when we paid over £20 . I asked about the specials board ,it was a very hot day the only starter was soup ,no main courses and 2 deserts . We ordered burger,ham egg and chips ,chicken caesar salad and bubble and squeak ,there was only 1 other main meal ,so 5 choices but all easy for a chef I would think .After about 40 minutes wait we still had no food despite only having 3 tables occupied ,1 of which already had their food . The manager did tell us there would be a 5 minute wait after about 30 minutes ,I also asked the drinks waiter . By this time we were hungry and one of our party asked at the bar and was told it was another 15 minutes ,he said to cancel the food . I went to pay for the drinks which averaged over £5 each the manager said she only had a chef ,she had 2 but one was a trainee ,and the food was cooked fresh ,I didn't expect it not to be cooked fresh . The chef through the hatch then started to say anyone want free food very rudely but the meals were not ready to serve for another 15 mins the manager was also rude and sarcastic when challenged on slow poor service . It really isn't the customers problem that the chef and trainee can't cope with their workload with such limited choice and before you order it would be better to inform potential customers of the wait ,so we could then of gone elsewhere . Sadly standards of service in Stow has declined and perhaps you think you have a captive audience so you don't care .

Popped in for a few pints of Guinness with the family to celebrate a birthday. Found the staff to be friendly and even had a game of pool upstairs. Only criticism being the pool room was cold 🤔 but hey I wasnt too bothered coz I won all three games played 👍😉

What a fabulous & quaint pub! We just popped in for drinks whilst visiting the beautiful Stow & ended up staying for food & more drinks 😂 The staff were lovely & the food was great. We went back in the evening for the open mic night & had a great night. Highly recommend The Talbot… something for everyone & a great atmosphere!

Popped into the Talbot again, afetran amazing weekend of Entertainment. We have frequented Stow before, but there was something missing, now with the Live enteratinemt, new mangement etc, its the place to go, and we popped in today for Lunch, warm welcome, happy staff, great service and lovely food, we enjoyed a few dishes from the menu, ordered, it arrived just after our drinks, was very tasty, enjoyed every bit, clean plates all round, would throughly recomend popping in and saying hi to these guys, great pub, great foor, wonderful Staff..

Stopped for lunch , the service was awful ordered 5 Pepsi which we received plus an orange juice which we didn't order,after waiting an hour for our lunch we were very disappointed food was cold badly cooked needless to say we paid for the drinks and walked out ,we were not the only customers to complain ,a place we will not be returning to

Stopped in here while touring this quaint little village. The restaurant/pub is very nice. Filled with many locals on a midday Sunday. Friendly staff and nice selections on the menu. Chicken Ceasar Salad was large and well made. Char-broiled burger also good. Service was a bit slow but we were told that the food was prepared as ordered, so no problem. Had an extra beer from their fine selection. Very enjoyable.

Food was OK but service very slow- took the kitchen over an hour to make two sandwiches and then another 10 mins for the fries to arrive.

We placed our order for food and waited 50 minutes before we heard the waitress apologise to others about the delay with their food, nothing was said to us but she was clearly the messenger and run off her feet. Gave it another 5 minutes and still no sign of our food! We asked for the bill for our drinks and said we was not prepared to wait any longer.. we had no apology. Advice... if you can’t cope with lots of orders on a busy Easter weekend maybe get more staff so you can offer a great service.

Had Sunday lunch and was great! Staff very friendly and could not do enough to help plus great value for money! Well worth popping in and they have live music during the week and weekends 👌🏻

Fancied a pint and a pub with atmosphere and that’s what we got. We went Friday and Saturday night and both evenings they had entertainment on which was very good. The price of drinks was about £6.40 for a pint of lager ! Not too bad composted to other pubs we had been to

A host of great reviews on here so we may have been unlucky.. A lot of items not available from the menu at the time of visit, but it was lunch time so would have expected better. Main reason for the review was due to the poor value for money and we felt very overpriced menu compared to other nearby establishments as we discovered afterwards. We made no complaints at the time and perhaps we should have given our feedback, but waited over half an hr for a ‘club Sandwich’ and at £14.00 would have expected a bit more than 2 slices of Bread, some chicken, some bacon and a side salad. Extra for chips ( however, to be fare this was not charged due to the long wait) Very expensive for a pub, or for any establishment really. Felt robbed and couldn’t wait to get away from the place. Nice staff but clearly struggling on the day.

Lovely friendly staff that weren't having a chat because it was their job. Dog friendly which was important because we are trying to socialise one of ours, the staff interacted with ours. It was a nice space to sit in not over crowded a lot of the other pubs sit you on top of the next table and perfect fir a bit of people watching over the square. Oh last but not least a good pint, cheers.

This is a cute restaurant/pub right in the center of town. The service was okay, but to be fair, there was just one person working hard! The beer was very tasty and the food decent (just not outstanding). The atmosphere was charming.

We were enjoying a day in Stow-on-the-Wold and wanted some lunch. We were turned away from about half a dozen pubs and restaurants because they were too busy and then tried The Talbot. Although it was also busy, Jay found us some space to have a drink and look at the menu while we waited for a table to become available. He brought us drinks and looked after us notwithstanding the fact that he seemed to be looking after the whole pub by himself - clearing tables, serving food, taking orders and ALL with a smile on his face. The food was home cooked, delicious and reasonably priced. We were made to feel extremely welcome and had a lovely lunch on a wet December day. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Jay and Larna was amazing friendly welcoming and amazing hosts had such amazing night. Definitely going back tomorrow

came here on the off chance and had an amazing time with live music, dancing and great service from Alana who served drinks really quickly and was really friendly and we ended up staying here all night rather! Will be back to Stow-on-the-Wold very soon!!

Tengo unos amigos un poco alérgicos a las visitas turísticas muy continuadas y para ellos el tour por los pueblos de los Cotswolds no fue lo mejor. Cuando llegamos a Stow on the Wold eligieron este local pues les pareció el mejor. Fue un acierto y cuando el resto hicimos una paradita en la visita pudimos comprobarlo. Me gustó mucho. Eso si esta muy lleno.

Alanah, Ryan and Adam were the most phenomenal hosts and businesses owners in all of the UK. Great food, amazing service, live music and and amazing atmosphere that you can't match at any other establishment. Will be returning as soon as we can.

Fantastic pub, owner Adam and team are wonderful; really pleasant and welcoming. Would definitely recommend. We went on a Wednesday during their open mic night and it was a great night for all ages

First visit to THE TALBOT staff are very welcoming and friendly. Me and my partner will definitely be visiting again for a meal next time

A lovely friendly pub with a good atmosphere. Excellent food and service. We called in for lunch, it was busy but the welcome was great and the food excellent. It is dog friendly.

Visited for Sunday lunch. Very friendly and polite staff. Sunday lunch was piping hot and very tasty. An enjoyable experience

Well as always The Talbot filled my expectations and my belly.So nice to finally be able to revisit my favourite place to dine!! I had steak, onion rings, chips & peppercorn sauce followed by sticky toffee pudding, which I must say was absolutely delicious.My son had the same as me and my Dad had the steak & ale pie with its huge crispy top... this is one of my Talbot favourites.Staff as lovely and welcoming as alwaysNice to have you back guys

We visited twice before Christmas- once for the general menu and once for the Sunday menu.We were genuinely amazed at the lovely staff- the chef and his partner made the effort to personally come to ask how the food was, and they were so lovely and friendly- almost like old friends!The vegetable lasagne was the best I’ve had at a pub- absolutely delicious with just the right amount of everything- absolutely delicious! The garlic bread that came with it was delicious too, cooked just right. Lovely salad too, and my partner loved his meat dish.The Sunday roast was delicious too- I had the vegetarian one and my partner had the meat- everything was cooked to perfection and the gravy absolutely delicious- I think it had a dash of wine in which gave it a lovely taste.We will 100% be back as soon as we can! Thanks so much, Marianne and Paul

popped in for a pre-dinner drink. Made to feel very welcome by the female bar maid. Served very quickly. Observed other tables cleaned & sanitised straight awy once the customer had left. The barmaid even came over within a second of my husband joining us to take his drinks order. A great pub to have a few drinks and a game of cards in. It didn't seem to matter that we weren't eating. Well worth a visit.

We booked the Talbot for lunch after reading the positive Trip Advisor reports... And we were disappointed. It was OK... But no more than that. We had a fish and chips, two pies and a salad. It was all fine.....just nothing exceptional. The staff were very Covid safe, but at the expense of any atmosphere in the place. Im sure we could have done better in Stow tbh

Came here for dinner, waitresses were friendly and very on it, (although at times it felt like we were being watched). The food was okay for me and pretty poor for my girlfriend. The major problem for us was the silence. There was just no atmosphere in the pub at at all - lovely fireplace but let down by the feeling in the room. We wanted a fun Saturday night and ended up getting the bill early to go home. So much potential here, just sad that the food and atmosphere does not quite echo other similar establishments nearby

I would recommened the Steak and Ale Pie, Burger and chips and the Tomato soap. The Staff are all Friendly and Welcoming.

Return visit after Covid restrictions in place. Made to feel welcome and safe Nice lunches, friendly service

The place had no atmosphere, the staff came accross as unwelcoming.. We walked in and walked out again.. Couldn't recommend it...

Reservé una mesa aquí ayer por la noche. Llegué 15 minutos antes a un pub medio vacío. La camarera dijo que nuestra mesa no estaba lista. Bastante justo ya que llegamos temprano. Tuve que quedarme afuera en el frío helado, sin ofrecer una bebida mientras esperamos. Volví después de 15 minutos para que lo llevaran a una mesa que ya estaba disponible 15 minutos antes. Cuando se le preguntó qué bebidas estaban disponibles, la camarera respondió "bueno, ¿qué quieres?". Ella carecía totalmente de hospitalidad y fue muy grosera. Cuando se le preguntó por qué teníamos que esperar 15 minutos por la mesa ya vacía, respondió "tenemos un sistema" y se encogió de hombros. El chef se quedó allí y nos miró sin dar explicaciones. Terrible lugar, nunca volveré allí

I recall staying at The Talbot back in the eighties. Our room is now a stockroom for a shop below......how times change! As for the bar, well that hasn’t changed that much. Still well cared for, and served by pleasant staff.

Llamado para almorzar en un día muy frío y húmedo. Existe un distanciamiento social en el que tienes que esperar en la puerta hasta que se seque el desinfectante de tu mesa. La señora que trabaja allí es muy rigurosa con la desinfección, lo cual es algo bueno. La comida era abundante y de buena calidad, aunque encontré un pelo en nuestro sándwich. Sin embargo, lo peor es la falta total de atmósfera. Hay una hermosa chimenea que, dado el tipo de día, podría haberse encendido. Eso habría hecho una gran diferencia. No había música de fondo, así que me hizo sentir como si estuviéramos comiendo en una biblioteca. Me temo que había reservado previamente para cenar, pero la cancelé porque nada de eso me hizo querer volver.

Visitamos el Talbot durante un breve descanso en Stow. Los procedimientos COVID estaban en su lugar con desinfectante en la entrada y un sistema de una vía en su lugar. No estoy seguro de qué tipo de desinfectante estaban usando, pero la mesa y los asientos estaban muy pegajosos, al igual que el menú contenido en una carpeta de plástico. Ese aspecto fue bastante desagradable.El servicio era muy bueno, pero la comida bastante mediocre y cara.El Talbot en sí parecía bastante monótono, cansado y anticuado. Sin duda, necesita una reforma importante. Encontramos otras instalaciones en Stow mucho más atractivas durante el transcurso de nuestra estancia.

La primera vez que visitamos Stow y el Talbot. Entre nosotros comimos unos sabrosos morrones, un perfecto trozo de bife de chuletón, cocinado según la recomendación del chef, un delicioso pastel de carne con cerveza y una gran botella de vino. El personal también era conversador y amable. Si podemos regresar pronto por este camino, definitivamente le daremos otra visita.

We called in without booking and were very lucky to get a table, as many others were turned away while we were there. Food was excellent, my partner said his beef and ale pie was the best he had ever had, and the roast beef was equally good. Staff were working so hard, especially Sian (I think) who wasmanaging front of house, taking orders, delivering food and drink and laying tables. She had a smile on her face the whole time, sanitised her hands without fail every time she visited a table, and didn’t stop moving during the time we were there. She must be exhausted by the end of the day. Can’t recommend highly enough, but do book as we were very lucky to get a table.

Had a fabulous Sunday lunch here. Credit where credits due, just had to sing their praises. Roast beef was one of the best I've had. Be sure to book in advance, many were turned away. Staff pleasant and good social distancing measures applied. Would definitely recommend.

AmaZing sandwiches! A bit over priced but I guess it’s about going rate in that area. Was so nice bacon lettuce and tomato and chicken bacon and mayo were the best! So fresh and tasty.

Last night my husband and I ate at the Talbot for my husband's birthday. We shared the pate as a starter and both had steaks - they were delicious, one of the best we've had. The staff are taking C-19 extremely seriously and had put extra measures in place- hand sanitiser on entry, table service for drinks, food and payment. The staff were extremely friendly and efficient. We will definitely go back next time we are in Stow-on the Wold! Well done guys!

Saturday myself & family returned to The Talbot only to find it had had a nice uplift during lockdown.Nice freshly painted walls (although still keeping the character of the place) and also some really nice coloured plates bowls etc. Maybe not a big deal for some,but the food all be it always delicious, always looks even more appealing when served upon nice plates.The social distancing & cleanliness was second to none we felt extremely safe. The young lady who served us was continuously cleaning everything as it was being used, tables, card reader, menus, tables, seats and sanitising her own hands very regularly.Well done The Talbot, see you again very soon

Stopped off for a quick drink on my way through Stow today. Was lucky to get the last table as was very busy with diners. Good to see the government guidelines are being adhered to here and everything is being thoroughly cleaned between customers. Very friendly staff and the food looked amazing. Would recommend the 6X, I love a good local ale and this particular one was delicious and very well kept. Would definitely recommend stopping off here if you’re ever passing. Great place to visit.

We visited the Talbot over the weekend. We booked in advance as we knew there would be less seating available at this time. Great array of drinks available and the food was brilliant. And we’ll done to the girls working the dining area for keeping everything clean as people left. I have been here multiple times now and everyone is always welcoming and friendly. Would recommend to everyone visiting Stow

Turned away at door by a young girl stating they were full. Asked if there is a waiting time and again said it could be a long wait. A couple of minutes later an old couple went in and they were sat down straight away. 2 girls with a dog given a table outside. I can only assume it’s because we were Indian.

Disappointed to arrive for family meal to learn that they can’t serve a child with a peanut allergy especially after the online booking asks in advance if there are any allergy requests. We did state on the booking that one person had peanut allergy & therefore would have expected restaurant to communicate they can’t cater for us before we arrived. Instead they turned away my son who was left to feel discriminated against and we had to leave. This restaurant needs to catch up with the rest of the country and ensure they can safely cater for those with allergies or at least communicate this in advance so people don’t waste their time in making a journey.

Had lunch here over the weekend. Was alone so was easy to find a spot inside (to me inside or outside doesn’t really matter). Had the roast beef and a gin and tonic. Both were really good, especially the gin and tonic. Some of the best I’ve ever had.Service was impeccable, lady was very nice and quick. Everyone was nice though, and smiling. I definitely recommend it.

We stopped for lunch in Stow on the Wold having travelled through the quaint town and finding it interesting. We tried a number of cafes and bars which were either full or closed and happened upon the Talbot. We were fortunate to get an indoor table as it was very hot outside and the staff were very clear about their requirements to maintain Covid safety (which was great).We were given a menu and opted for the lunchtime special of Soup, sandwich and chips and were not disappointed. The soup was great and my sandwich had a thick piece of ham and grated cheese on top, all of which delicious! We didn't leave hungry. Overally, good food and service and would definitely recommenhd.

Went for a light lunch, understanding current social distancing, we did not expect a normal service.Saying that, the staff were rude, abrupt and went the full mile to ensure social distancing... with no interpersonal skills or customer appreciation who would want to be anywhere near them!We were directed outside as no table space inside, we asked to start a tab as we intended to have a few drinks and a lunch for 4. Only to be barked at and told “no tabs for outside tables”! We paid for our beer and took our leave.Obnoxious is the best way to describe staff, NOT the way to go to encourage the tourist trade to use a flagging tourist trade!

We had our first holiday since lockdown in The Cotswolds. We were not sure if we were supposed to book in advance but were happy to find we could go straight in. We were seated at a table, gave our contact details and were then served at the table. Very efficient system and very friendly staff.

I visited in March for my daughters birthday.There was 15 of us so we had sole use of the market room, which is upstairs from the main pub.It was a lovely spacious room with plenty of room for the younger children who don’t like to sit down for too long, so were free to walk around while not disturbing other visitors.The food was fantastic, considering we all had different meals ranging from steak, pie, burgers, fish and even sausage & chips for the kids.The staff were so friendly & made us feel so welcome.I highly recommend The Talbot and will be returning as soon as they reopen

We are a family with young children who are always hungry and we came in for a late lunch thinking it would be quick considering the restaurant was pretty empty. Service was dreadfully slow. Food was not that good. Staff was mildly friendly. We kept piling up our plates to show that we were done even after I told them that we were in a bit of a rush, it didn’t seem to matter to them. We waited forever for the ice cream for the kids. It shouldn’t take that long to put a scoop of ice cream in a bowl. I had to go the bar several times to inquire about the status of our meal and even to pay the bill which I certainly did not want to pay for. I couldn’t wait to get out of there. The only thing the place had going for them was the charming atmosphere inside and the view of the square.

Set in the heart of Stow market place you will find The Talbot Inn. A spacious bar area with an abundance of choice,and all served up by friendly staff. Worth a visit if you’re ever in the area.

Not a bad meal. Very conveniently situated in the main square opposite our favourite shop, but it's best for a quick snack rather than a full-blown meal.

Ambiance bien sympa et plats bien cuisinés mais cheminée éteinte et chauffage absent ! Trop froid pour manger sereinement. Serveuses sans plus de sympathie qu’il faut solliciter régulièrement.

Both of us had the beef pie with mash and peas. It was delicious. The staff were very friendly. Would have loved to visit again, but we only had 6 nights in Stow on the Wold and wanted to try other places too!

Popped in for a drink at lunch and also to confirm our evening booking for a table. Staff were friendly and polite. In the evening we had a shared starter (breads and olives) which was a good size portion and then the steak and ale pie.OMG this is probably the best pie I have ever had. Again the staff were extremely friendly and I would definitely eat here again. It’s a cosy place too

A lot of choice in the area for places to eat but many fully booked. This was pretty empty and not surprising as food is basic for the price. Very friendly service and no complaints but would look elsewhere first.

Our experience was neither good nor bad, the menu is standard pub food which was fine. Service was good although the food was a little slow in coming.

We had been travelling around the Cotswolds for a few days and I hadn't sampled any beers that I particularly liked. That was until I went to The Talbot. There were several tasty pints on offer, so we decided to stay for lunch. We ordered the sharing seafood platter. It was quite expensive but there was loads of food on the wooden board that it was served on. I would really recommend this dish as it is a hearty meal for 2 and good value for money.

I come to Stow on the Wold a few times a year, and the place where we normally have our lunch was closed for renovations, so we decided the Talbot. Not a very extensive Menu, just your usual Pub fayre. It took some time for the food to come out, probably a sign that it is freshly prepared. The food was good, nothing special, but acceptable and good. The whole experience was perhaps a tad on the expensive side, but I may come back next time.

This pub is lovely and cosy. We only had a drink here but enjoyed our relaxing time. The service was also friendly. Thank you. The food also looked really yummy! We will have that next time.

We stopped in at lunchtime for a bite to eat. We had a fish goujon (posh fish finger) sandwiches. The food was great and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Clean and tidy. Toilets on the first floor. Would eat here again

Friendly pub with good food. Great staff and we had a lovely lunch here. I had Home made fish finger sandwich with tartare sauce. Good kids menu, reasonably priced. Went to go back for early eve meal today but they don’t serve food in the evenings on Sundays. So, we had drinks & went around the corner. Would go back if in Stow. Great location.

A good wholesome meal freshly prepared for you - nothing seems too much trouble - we gave always been served by the same young lady - very capable and slick

Este es el segundo año que tenemos una comida grupal de Navidad en The Talbot y nuevamente fue fantástico. Teníamos nuestra propia habitación arriba y la comida estaba bien preparada con verduras frescas, salsa increíble, servido por personal feliz y servicial. Tan bueno que estoy comiendo allí con la familia otra vez esta noche.

La comida era fresca pero cocinada sin ningún sabor. Tuve un pescado y patatas fritas. Las porciones de los niños eran enormes y, como consecuencia, el precio era similar al de los adultos. El desempeño del personal es pobre. Olvidé sobornar salchichas, etc. . En general, comida mediocre y precios muy altos. Desde mi punto de vista, no merece estar en el 5º lugar.

We ate here on our last night in Stow and had a very nice meal at a reasonable price .They have offers on drink packages most nights which is a nice feature. We were served by Anita and Shannon who couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant .We even got to meet the chef and owner Shaun after our meal .

I revisited this establishment and yet again superb. I’d like to thank the darling staff especially the manger. She was very friendly and helpful.

Don’t know what’s happened to the talbot it closes really early Went to go for dinner twice as they have a really good menu but it was closed This place used to be thriving

Popped in here for lunch on a rainy Sunday, we were lucky to get s table for the four of us. We all had sandwiches and chips with a drink and bill was £48. Food was good and nice friendly staff, quick service too

Na het rondlopen op het marktplein hebben we in deze leuke pub wat gedronken. Leuk bij het raam uitkijkedn over de markt. Het ziet er van binnen en buiten mooi uit. De bediening is vriendelijk.

Popped in for lunch and drink after a bit of a mooch around Stowe on Saturday 28tn Sept 19. As usual, friendly staff, good choice of beers and wines and absolutely amazing food. Great value for money, you won’t be disappointed. Lovely feel and very cosy pub. I would recommend booking a table as does get busy. One of our favourite places to chill

We ate here on our first night in the Cotswolds and it was pretty disappointing.

Popped in for light lunch, just a baguette but goodness what a whopper. Shared with hubby as it was too much for me but everything was so fresh and tasty. Big chunks of chicken and thick slices of bacon with mayo (seperate so you had as little or as much as you liked). Side salad was beautifully fresh, on the whole a great light lunch and reasonably priced too.

We were looking for a late afternoon tea (at 4pm) and The Talbot was the only place open. Had a cream tea, though this was prob I’ll advised being that The Talbot is a pub, not a tearoom. Scone was okay, but had a feeling that the only other couple in the pub where friends of the barmaid so we felt a little like we were intruding on their private conversations.

A lovely meal, cooked as required. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. We arrived early when it was quiet, but it quickly filled with a pleasant atmosphere.

Went here based on Tripadvisor and felt very uncomfortable as a few locals at the bar were so foul mouthed and loud. I had to get out of there

We called here twice during our visit to Stow. The pub is a large building which has a large bar and seating area. There were at least 5 real ales which were Wadsworth ales. There is a large selection of spirits and good wines. Food is served lunchtime and then during the evening but only until 8pm.

Como se trata de un pub de Wadworth, decidimos tomar un Swordfish o 6 X pinta, eran las 8:45 p.m. de un martes y estaba cerrado. Se cortaron las cortinas y se cerraron las puertas. Era la primera vez que mi esposa me veía llorar, mientras hacía sonar la puerta en vano. La ley de licencias debe ser diferente en Stow.

Detenido por algo de comida después de un día alegre en este pueblo, ¡estoy tan contento de haber elegido este lugar! La comida era excelente, todas caseras, porciones masivas y excelentes sabores. Excelente personal, chefs brillantes y un edificio lleno de carácter. Tengo la sensación de que volveré muy pronto.

Visité con un amigo, almorzamos bien. Cuando dejamos mi nueva falda por primera vez, advertí que se había pillado un clavo que sobresalía de la puerta de salida. Tuve un reembolso de mi comida y nos aseguraron que lo sentiríamos. Hoy estuve en Stow on the Wold nuevamente pasamos y me da miedo decir que el clavo todavía está allí. Han puesto una paz de papel sobre él (EL CLAVO SIGUE SUCEDIENDO) No es bueno.

I visited a few of months ago and as I was passing through I decided to pop back in for lunch. Yet again I wasn’t disappointed, the seabass was amazing. Everyone there is so friendly and I had a wonderful experience. Would recommend visiting

I don’t often write reviews but feel like the talbot needed one tonight! I’ve have visited the Talbot many times and have never had bad food or bad service! I had the steak and it was the best steak I have ever eaten, cooked perfectly to my liking and the blue cheese sauce was a perfect consistency. Last time I visited the only thing that, not so much let it down, but made our visit less welcoming and chilled was that there were a few children running around and were being loud and slightly disrupting who seemed to be a waitress’ children.

Staff good, food to say the least poor and over priced for what the serve up.Shame as location right in the middle of town. For a drink would Be good but if you want food AVOID !!!!!

Booked a table for a Saturday night. Good hot food reasonably priced. Great for us as we could take both our dogs with us.

We visited this pub purely by chance and found the food was good and the staff friendly and efficient . Inevitably there was a certain amount of noise from other customers but it didn’t detract from our visit

We popped in for some lunch, a cheddar ploughman's and whitebait with a garlic baguette. The cheddar was waxy and tasteless (lots of it though!) but the salad leaves and baguette were nice. Whitebait was good but the garlic bread barely tasted of garlic and was a bit soggy, not well toasted as I'd expected. The interior of the place is well in need of some smartening up, especially the dirty worn stair carpet. Overall our visit wasn't memorable for the right reasons.

Stopped here for a quick pint. A classic old pub, comfortably worn by steady pub traffic. A couple of nice ales to be had.

We called in last Sunday.Rainy day but a warm welcome. We ordered a roast beef dinner and a steak and ale pie. best beef ever! thick tender and with a stunning gravy as rich as a sauce. The steak and ale pie had a fluffy pastry top and was rich and tender. We had a raspberry cheesecake between us. Don't forget there is a 2 hour parking limit of the square so allow time to relax.

Extremely busy pub. Seems popular for lunches. Service was good and welcoming. Baguettes for lunch were generous in size with chips. Service was quick. Would recommend as pricing was reasonable.

Amazing meals! Really nicely presented and reasonable pricing! Also able to cater for vegans, which the meal made was amazing!

Warm friendly atmosphere and great food created by Shaun the owner. Very large portions, catered for vegan and we will definitely be regulars from now on. Thank you

Had a good relaxing lunch despite the restaurant being busy. Good food, big portions and friendly service.

Good steak and wine dinner, nice pub, great staff, good value, nothing to not like here. Chef good, friendly and properly unhurried

Considering its location and the town being so overpriced, it was a joy to find not only good lunches served but at a reasonable price. Portions were good, the chips very tasty. We were fortunate to get a table. The staff were helpful and friendly.
