The Talbot Inn Restaurant in Shropshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We stopped by for lunch and were impressed. The building is very old and full of character. My wife enjoyed her fish and chips and cider, and I found my pie very tasty. Service was friendly and efficient.

Although 4 of us only had a drink here it was very nice sitting in the garden there. I saw some food being brought to diners & it looked delicious, home cooked chips. I would happily return if in the area & maybe have a meal next visit. Service was good, staff polite. Average prices for the area. Lovely little village it was set in, easy parking nearby which must be paid for.

We stayed at The Talbot during an adventure walking part of the Shropshire Way. From the street it looked like a dated old pub but inside we were greeted by wonderful staff who looked after our every need. The room was brilliant in separate building with all the original features of the traditional structure, combined with clean and pretty decor. We ate back down in the pub and the service was amazing, we had walked 20 miles that day and the guys brought everything to our table. The food was hearty, tasty and generous portions, even we couldn’t finish our meals despite how hungry we were. Breakfast was versatile and you could even take away your bacon butty to fuel the road ahead. A gem in the middle of this wonderful little town, would happily return.

We visited Much Wenlock as we were in the area over the weekend. Lovely outside area of the pub where we sat with our dog. We didn’t want a full lunch and so ordered a couple of starters and a side. We were told that we would have a 30 minute wait, food was delivered much sooner. Food was well cooked and tasty. Staff were very friendly. Access to fresh water was available for our dog. This is a personal preference, lots of lovely “real” hanging baskets around the pub, however, for us, artificial hanging baskets outside of the kitchen and by the residential area spoiled the overall look. We will return when we are next in the area.

This is our go to pub for great food, great value and great atmosphere when visiting Much Wenlock. It’s a little hidden gem.

Lovely lunch at the,Talbot,plenty of choice,reasonably priced,and good quality Staff very efficient,one very nice lady on the bar who is very welcoming and helpful.Would definitely return

Good friendly service, staff very friendly. Food is very good serving time was very quick. Costs very reasonable Would certainly recommend.

Excellent meals, very impressed with food and presentation. Mushrooms, bri and chicken strips for starters. Veg lasagne, beef lasagne, shropshire chicken for mains.

Staying in Much Wenlock we visited The Talbot for Dinner. We were very pleasantly surprised by the lovely interior and the nice atmosphere. The host was very pleasant and friendly. He came to our table promptly and service was very good. The food, gammon eggs and chips, lasagne and chips, were piping hot, delicious and very well cooked. Our problem is we don't have big appetites and so were disappointed not to be able to finish and even more disappointed not to be able to have one of the delicious desserts which we saw coming to other tables!

We visited over the Easter break as a family (including 2 children). Menu offers a good choice and is reasonable priced. The food was fabulous! Decent sized meals and so tasty! The staff were friendly and welcoming and it was a lovely environment - loved the real fire. Would definitely recommend and hope to return.

Fabulous 13th century pub with great character inside. The food was superb, large portions but great they offer smaller plates for those with not big appetites. However if you love your food this is heaven with a good selection on the menu. The food from the kitchen staff looked amazing on every plate I saw delivered to tables and delivered with genuine friendliness. We were full but really wanted a dessert and so the solution was to do a takeout for us and they accommodated the fact we were staying nearby in our camper van. Superb cherry pie later that evening, thank you kitchen and bar staff 😋.

We enjoyed a two night weekend stay as the start of my wife's birthday celebrations, with our son joining us too. We had rooms 6 and 7 which were spotlessly clean and very cosy. We had dinner one night which was fabulous - huge portions of homemade fayre and our two breakfasts were hearty and very tasty. The staff are very helpful and friendly. A perfect base to potter about Much Wenlock.

Traditional pub with helpful staff and friendly locals. Food was nothing special, but nice enough and a fair price.

Booked 3 nights .... tonight is our last THIS TIME! We will certainly be returning! Super accommodation, excellent breakfast with great quality produce and the pub itself is cozy, offers great quality food and the staff are absolutely fab - Jay and Will in particular! It's been a brilliant base for discovering historic and stunning parts of Shropshire.

The Talbot Inn was a very enjoyable experience from start to finish. We were pleasantly greeted by friendly staff. Each course was delicious and plentiful. Even though we were full we just had to try the homemade desserts which didn't disappoint. We certainly had value for money. The waitresses friendly, chatty manner continued for the duration of our visit which made a pleasant change. The next time we visit Much Wenlock The Talbot Inn will be our first choice!

Fantastic food. I had gammon and my partner and old man had the pie of the day and it was superb. We then had desserts and they were also very good. Would recommend trying this place. Staff were also very nice and price was very reasonable.

Great wholesome food which tasted homemade. Delicious. Great to dine in a real pub which serves traditional British fair. Felt full and truly satisfied. Great price, great service. Thank you.

Regularly visited and tasted a variety of different main dishes on the menu - never disappointed. The size of the food is fantastic for the price and is homemade too. Selection of drinks available is also a plus. Would definitely visiting and supporting this local pub!

Spent 2 nights staying on a B&B basis. I'd highly recommend. The rooms are a good size and clean. Bed was comfy, and it was nice a quiet. The bathroom is a little tired, and could do with an upgrade, but we managed perfectly well. The location is in the centre of the village. We would have loved to eat here, but the only evening we were free to do that was Sunday, and the kitchen doesn't open on a Sunday. Once we'd eaten Sunday night we went back to The Talbot, and into the pub for a drink - we were so pleased we had. We sat with the owner and his Sister, and had a brilliant evening. The barman Jason and a 'Monday' customer joined in, and we had a real laugh - it made our night. We wouldn't hesitate to return to The Talbot should we be in the area again.

Absolutely loved this place my friend and I stopped over night in the annex it was very cosy the breakfast was good too. this was separate to the Inn. We ate in the bar at night we both went for the steak pie i can honestly say this was the best pie and chips i have had for a long time the steak in the pie just melted in your mouth I would certainly return 10/10

Reliable pub food, very good service from all staff, nothing very out of the ordinary in terms of choice or flavours

What a lovely traditional pub, friendly staff and omg the food is amazing, homemade and big portions! Good selection of real ales and menu choice. Definitely one to return to!

Delicious food and excellent service, served next to a roaring log fire. What’s not to like? The pub has a lovely, relaxed ambience. Would definitely visit again.

Having fond memories of visiting this pub previously, we snatched at the chance to return when we were in the area again. There was still the same lovely landlord, working hard, and with the same mischievous sense of humour we remembered. Once again we enjoyed the pub fayre - which is simply good honest home made food, with no fancy airs and graces, just cooked well, served in mighty generous portions, and very tasty indeed. I had the Shropshire Chicken, (stuffed with leeks and served with a delicious blue cheese sauce) which was very moist and tender. Hubby had the homemade chilli which came with nachos as well. Both meals arrived piping hot and were very enjoyable. This is a traditional olde world pub that has all the traditional attributes you would want from such an establishment- great host, good service and very relaxing ambiance. We shall always return when in the area.

Superb home cooked food. 5* quality 5* service lovely quaint rural country retreat. We will return time and time again.

Called in for a meal whilst staying in the area, made to feel very welcome. The young waiter was excellent. The food was some of the nicest "pub" food we've eaten, restaurant quality. Lovely atmosphere. Didn't realise they did accomodation as would have booked there instead. Definitely one to return to.

Food and hospitality fantastic. Cosy, lovely pub . Ordered the Sunday Roast lunch and was not dissapointed. Staff all courteous ..... fantastic I will return

Very unfriendly man behind the bar. Not welcoming at all. I was going to have a meal here but as i felt so unwelcome then I didn’t bother, seems like the guy behind the bar only speaks to locals. Their loss as I meet a...

As visitors from the Netherlands we loved the atmosphere and the Food of this Inn and went back for a second time in one week. Friendly people and a cosy well decorated environment.

Four of us really enjoyed a visit to the Talbot Inn in Much Wenlock today. Great food and drink, welcoming staff and a most convivial atmosphere and all at a very competitive price.

My parents were really looking forward to visiting this pub. The food was way too basic and the portions were huge. I would not be recommending garlic bread. Atmosphere was fairly pleasant.

We really enjoyed our dinner here. The service was great and staff were very family friendly. The food was tasty (big portions, so come hungry)! Thank you for a lovely evening and for filling our bellies!

Had lunch in the courtyard in Saturday afternoon. Whilst sheltering from the rain my wife managed to drop her house keys. Thanks to the pub staff for finding them and keeping them safe until we could get back that evening. Much appreciated

We ate here as a family last week whilst on a short break locally. Where we live is chain dominated so it was a delight to eat in an independent pub. Great range of beers, then all of our starters and mains were excellent (despite...

I picked this Inn at random as a stopping point between Essex and North Wales. What did I find? An absoute gem! Talbot Inn is a historic pub and very pleasant with a good interior along with a private and sheltered outdoor seating area. As...

Had a family meal at the Talbot to mark the occasion of our Mum's 100th birthday if she had lived. Service was amazing, sorry l can't remember the ladies name. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was all cooked beautifully.

Had a fantastic meat and potato pie! And lovely chips to boot! We all said the food was very good and would defo be back for more! Staff friendly and good selection of beers and wines. We've stayed here too, the accommodation was a large...

I hardly ever write reviews. But this one is definitely warranted myself and my partner booked a three night stay in room two. And had dinner all three evenings as the food really is brilliant! All homemade and served with genuinely great and attentive service....

Great quality pub grub and friendly service. We had the fish pie, pie of the day (chicken, leek and mushroom) and fish & chips - all were tasty, huge portions and no complaints! Service friendly and efficient in a lovely local packed with diners. Also...

Our party of four all enjoyed a lunchtime meal here yesterday. Ee all had different meals, and very much enjoyed them. The atmosphere was congenial with welcoming, efficient staff, and comfortable table seating.

We have been coming here for many years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. The food is all homemade and portion sizes are excellent. The real ales are always top class and all the staff are super friendly and helpful. A great atmosphere , great food...

Stopped here for lunch over the bank holiday while I was out for a drive with the family. There are a few lovely places her and we were spoilt for choice somewhat. However, we went into this place which is just the other side of...

Staff were friendly and service was great. The home made steak and red wine pie was delicious. Couldn’t ask for better! Will be back when in the area.

Good food and plenty of it. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Nothing too much trouble. It’s an old pub in the centre of town right on the High Street very convenient for walking round the town. Parking at the rear

Fantastic food amazing friendly service Guinness and HPA spot on , can’t recommend enough a must visit when in Much Wenlock Thank you Can’t wait to return !!!!!!

On the main drag in Much Wenlock. Typical pub decor (not a criticism). Pub staples like small scampi were excellent. A few novel dishes - the smoked haddock in cheese sauce had Sue cooing. Ver clean. Service was efficient but the waitress could have been...

We both had fish chips which was very good. Beer and wine excellent. Sat outside as dogs not allowed in as it’s too small but sun shone so not a problem, staff friendly

We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday lunchtime in late January when visiting Wenlock Priory. It was very busy and looked full, but the staff were very welcoming and found us some seats. The food was delicious and bearing in mind there were only...

Dropped in on our way to Shrewsbury seeking a quick bite to eat. Nice to see that the caricature of a traditional hostelry can be kept. Very clean, a warm welcome with fires roaring away in both the bar and restaurant. Was only going to...

Have been coming here for many years. Staff are fab and always welcoming. Always the first choice for my friends and I, whatever night of the week it may be.

Booked with the Landlord we know now as Paul, for Sunday lunch with the family. I don’t really eat sudsy lunch but they accommodated me with a complete other menu to choose from..great ! The sausage an mash was spot on! As I saw the...

Average pub, with average food-but I do not expect the management to be using the C-Word like water to paying customers. The landlord drinks in his own pub, which means that he is often drunk and says things that he may not normally wish to....

Prebooked a table for evening meal. Wasn't sure what to expect but was stunned by the food, atmosphere and service. Our son has certain needs and the waitress wasvery patient and helpful in helping him make a choice on what to have, which relaxed him a great deal. Food was hot, cooked and tasty, our waitress popped by every so often to see if we needed anything extra or more drinks etc which was great.Dessert...... My eldest and managed to get the last pieces of cheese cake which was pure heaven (another group weren't happy at us getting the last two pieces LOL )Prices are very good and it's easy to get to from the car park at tje back.

Visited here on a hot day for lunch and was attracted by a diverse menu and plenty of tables with shade in their courtyard. Good beer, friendly service, excellent chilli con carne and baguette, the former along with quite a few other lunch options available in smaller portions. Even this size was pretty generous - for about £6.

Our second visit here in less than 12 months. All the staff are very welcoming. Room 2 which is quite big is supplied with a beverage tray, toiletries in the bathroom and has a very comfy bed is in the old malt house at the back of the beer garden. Breakfast is also served in the malt house downstairs. Make sure you book in advance if you wish to eat in the pub as it does get busy, I’m not at all surprised as the food is very nice & great value for money. Thanks to Sarah & family for the warm welcome once again.

The layout of this form actually misses the point as it only caters for eating at The Talbot Inn. We actually stayed at the Inn and had a delightful weekend. The room was very comfortable, had all the amenities which we needed, including an en suite and we enjoyed very good night sleeps. The hotel is perfectly situated for visiting the Shropshire Hills and would be perfect for walkers. Guests who were staying enjoyed breakfast in a separate room to the main part of the Inn and there was a great choice. We would definitely stay here again if visiting this part of Shropshire.

Booked and ordered the majority of food in advance as there was a group of us. Millie the amazing waitress was on the organisation from the very start. When food arrived the portions were generous, hot plates, which you don’t often get now. On the roast dinners the vegetables were serviced on the side. Now I love a Sunday dinner and I was a little reserved in my expectation, I shouldn’t have been it was one of the tastiest roast beef dinners I’ve ever had, the roast parsnips and potato’s were delicious, vegetables not overcooked and an amazing gravy that absolutely made cracked it! There’s a good selection of vegetarian dishes, which pleased my husband. If I didn’t live so far away, I’d be there most weekends.

Me and a friend came for a Sunday lunch, it was delicious! Three courses for £15 I believe which is a brilliant price for what we was served. Thoroughly enjoyed food and left with a very full belly! Will come again.

Cheerful welcome. Good value. Interesting lunch menu. Real ales, including one local. Sensible Covid precautions.

Thank you so much for your warm welcome and for looking after us so very well. We so enjoyed the delicious food and drinks we consumed. It really was a lovely evening and we were lovely and warm.

Went here for my 40th birthday meal as we have limited choices to celebrate we put off a big party till covid calms down we were made welcome staff friendly enough , food amazing and filling we will definitely go back and recommend to anyone

Lovely lunch in the courtyard. Nice pub with fresh food. Staff were pleasant and friendly. Worth a visit

The lovely lady fitted us in(we hadn't booked) and we enjoyed really good fish and chips and a mixed grill. Great food and Great service!

We visited a few times during our stay in much wenlock, there is a pretty courtyard where you can sit or go inside. The food was lovely and great service definitely worth a visit

Visited earlier in the day and booked a table for later that evening ... 6pm we ordered our food which came within normal waiting time and the quality of the food was excellent with good portion sizes. The restaurant area has been organised into COVID-19 acceptable areas with screening and it felt very comfortable and not at all cramped to us. Local ale is great and the Merlot wine very smooth. Will return here again next time we are in Much Wenlock. The waiting staff was both polite and friendly.

Met with friends at this beautiful pub staff were friendly and helpful the meal was outstanding fresh and beautifully cooked would highly recommend a visit to the Talbot in much wenlock

This was our first port of call on arrival at Much Wenlock. We enjoyed relaxing drinks in the courtyard. Second visit included a wonderful meal. Loved the home cooked pie of the day. Staff are very friendly and a good safe one way system in place to keep customers safe. Would highly recommend a visit.

Had drinks and lunch time snack with friends. Sitting outside I. The sunshine was brilliant. Order inside and then service to your table. One way system in operation Very enjoyable

We visited Much Wenlock and decided to have a drink in The Talbot Inn. Reasonably priced drinks. We enjoyed sitting in the sunshine, in the courtyard with our dog.

Visited with family, large group, 16 of us. Nothing was too much trouble. Food came out promptly, all fresh and piping hot. Plentiful portions. Service fantastic, food fantastic, nothing not to like here. Some members of the group had booked rooms the night before as they had travelled a long way. They were really pleased with the accommodation, so much so, they have already booked again for the next family do!Many Thanks to all the team.

This pub was a great find! Lovely old building, comfortable bar and restaurant area. Food was hearty pub fayre, well cooked and with generous portions. Service was friendly and engaging. Pub has easy access from car park behind. Will certainly return.

Called in for lunch never been in before, warm and friendly staff 2 lovely open fires makes it feel cosy lovely locals, the beer was Bass and went down well, we ordered gammon egg and chips, not too many chips, tasty gammon all lovely. I had chicken salad, was a little disappointed that it was nugget type chicken and not chopped chicken but was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Definitely will return.

We all ...7 adults and a child had a good selection of meals from the menu.We had booked well in advance.Sarah and her team did us proud.Have eaten here on previous occasions and we are never disappointed.Keep up the great work x

Having been booked at another pub/restaurant only to turn up and hear that the chef had not turned up!! (Christmas and Boxing Day)We took a chance and visited the Talbot. Boxing Day, fully booked! Unbelievably they went completely out of there way to accommodate us!! Food was cooked in good time and the atmosphere was super. Food served was brilliant and would definitely recommend.They could of quite easily said ‘No, fully booked’ and we would of gone home - you saved the day, THANKYOU Highly recommended

We stopped here for lunch as we were visiting the area prior to an overnight stay in Ironbridge and are we happy we chose The Talbot. (The answer is yes, very)My wife had the chilli and I had the fish and chips, both really excellent and highly recommended.We will be back when in the area again.

Met up with a cousin at the Talbot in Much Wenlock. Great high street location with parking nearby. Friendly helpful staff made for an enjoyable time. Not being a drinker I liked their excellent americano coffee.

Visited here after looking on TripAdvisor. Reviews were not wrong, an excellent pub lunch, friendly and efficient service, a warm fire and lovely old beams to remind us we were in a medieval town.

My friend was visiting wenlock so I took her here for dinner as the food is good.We were very late arriving and the pub was very conciderate and waited for us. Which I am grateful as it had been a very long day and we were starving.Served an excellent meal and the staff and locals were all very friendly and we met some great people.Special thanks to sue xxxWe will be back lorna and karen x

Set down a picturesque alleyway in Much Wenlock brings you to the The Talbot Inn What a welcoming place so friendly and attentive staff Set in a lovely location especially when the weather is good. No rip off prices in here Would recommend to all.

We walked into town from Sytche Caravan Campsite on a lovely little path through the woods. We didn’t have reservations, but they seated us right away. Nice atmosphere, good bar selections, and the Shropshire chicken was wonderful...so tender! There is a pretty area to have drinks outdoors too, weather permitting. Definitely recommend.

enjoyed a nice lunch here after a good wander around the village. Well priced and excellent service.

We visited here for a few drinks whilst on holiday. A beautiful place to sit and relax, very reasonable pricing on drinks too.

Well what a lovely pub. Staff friendly and welcoming I felt at ease here. Very old pub with it’s quaint traditional and medieval feel. A definite must if you visit Much Wenlock. My favourite pub on the high street.

Fabulous service and food today (Sunday). Had three courses all for £14, pate, beef, cheesecake and all were excellent. Our waitress (Pip) was fun, pleasant and great at her job. We will definitely be going again.

We enjoyed a lovely, early evening meal here and would return without hesitation. The staff could not have been more pleasant and helpful.The food was not overpriced and very tasty with decent helpings of everything.

We had our dogs with us and where made aware by friends that they had an outside seating area if we wanted to take the dogs - to which we did (would be nice if it had a dog friendly area inside). Food was very nice and we all really enjoyed it, the service was also good - would go back as long as sunny because the dogs are usually with us.

Great food, reasonable prices. Beware of shorter serving times. We hadn't thought that food would only be served between 12 and 2.30 and 6 to 8.30. we just assumed (probably incorrectly) that we would be able to eat food at any time. This was the same for all pubs in the town.

We had lunch here and all very much enjoyed our meals. There is a car park behind the pub with a pedestrian walkway leading directly to the hotel.

Just had an enjoyable dinner with our 3 young children. Friendly service and the food arrived in good time. I had the Pork Belly which was delicious. Various meals were offered as generous children's portions. Unfortunately we were all too full to manage a pudding.

My partner and I stayed for one night and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were greeted with a warm welcome but had to wait a few minutes to be shown to our room as there were customers in the bar that wanted drinks and there was only one member of staff. We are shown to room 7 which is lovely. The room was clean and very comfortable. We had dinner and drinks in the bar. Great menu and the food was delicious. The breakfast room is a great idea, as it’s much nicer than eating breakfast in the bar. Breakfast was fabulous, great choice and service. Looking forward to our next visit.

Went camping in Much Wenlock and it did nothing but rain. So we had to find some where to eat and we found this place. would highly recommend here. We ate here three days on the trot and the food was pipping hot the people that run it are so friendly and helpful will go back again.

After visiting much Wenlock for the day, my friends and I decided to have lunch. We haven’t planned anywhere but I stumbled across this pub, they were very accommodating despite him being quite full, the choice was plentiful, The food came in good time, Was very tasty and there was plenty of it. I was pleasantly surprised and would definitely eat here again

Had lunch today at Talbot. There were 6 of us and we all agreed the food was beautifully cooked to perfection. The service was first class coupled with a pleasant atmosphere. Great value for money , we will most definitely be back, thank you

We hadn't booked for Sunday lunch but we were lucky that there were just 2 tables available at 12 noon. Good value 2 course traditional Sunday lunch for £11.95 inc a fish and a veggie option. Homemade meringue with raspberry ice cream and raspberries. My husband had the raspberry and apple pie which was very hot. Very well kept Black Sheep ale. Busy pub with bar area and restaurant with locals and tourists alike.

The pub is in the High Street of Much Wenlock. We were welcomed and although hadn't reserved managed to have a table in the restaurant. All nicely laid and the food menu was quite extensive. Went for the Shropshire Chicken stuffed with leeks and served with a blue cheese sauce. Husband had Chicken in a white wine and mushroom sauce. The meals were large, the chips were excellent and the chicken was well cooked and the sauces were creamy. All the meals that came out of the kitchen looked well prepared and appetising. Excellent food, will return.

Been here a few times now but not for a little while. Much Wenlock is a lovely little town and this pub fits right in. Great choice on the menu and massive portions ( tip they do options of smaller sizes). Barnsley chops were excellent and the home made steak pie really was home made. Great value, friendly service and well worth a visit.
