8/10Felt somewhat disappointed in the choice of menu. I'd like to see more exciting salads please. Whilst it was a Saturday, I would have loved a chicken roast. Decor is nice, clean. Toilets could do with a smell deodoriser. Lovely location.

8/10Food was very good when it finally came although the young lady did apologise for the wait. The ladies toilets although were clean seemed to have a not very nice smell, not sure whether it was drains. Staff were very pleasant and friendly.

6/10When we ate at The Talbot, the food was very good. However, dogs are now accepted in the dining room. If I had known this, I would not have gone there. Also there were a couple of ladies in the corner smoking vapes. I thought both these would have and should have been banned in the dining area. I certainly won't be eating their again.

7/10The staff was so lovely and professional, especially the waitresses. The cleanliness and atmosphere were spot on. However, the roasts we ordered were an issue. We ordered 3 turkey roasts and none of us enjoyed them. The turkey was nice but the veg was underseasoned/unseasoned, the parsnips were chewy and the roasties were not crispy. The stuffing wrapped in bacon tasted strange to me. We all left a lot of food on our plates. Have eaten other food here that was not roast related which was very good so we were surprised.

5/10Such a shame, this place could be amazing but the food was so poor it was unbelievable how they could even send it out. By far the worst meal I've ever had. Staff saw the food when it came out & were highly apologetic but they shouldn't have to be. It shouldn't be that bad to start with. Really really bad.

6/10Nice staff, meal what you would expect from a chain, not home cooking. Service very slow Don't like the way customers are almost forced to go to a table on entering if eating. They don't like you ordering drinks at the bar but when ushered to your table you can wait quite a while for service and a first drink.

5.3/10Fantastic setting, cosy inside, however there were candles on the table, which required asking a member of staff to light. Staff member quite vacant to surroundings and customers. Stated she would come back to light it following her taking the food order, but never came back to light the candles. There was a party of 7. Food did not come at the same time, therefore some had to wait before eating so we could eat together. Most dishes were warm and not hot. In fact one meal was sent back, as when it arrived it was not hot but aired. However this was instantly changed when raising the problem and the staff member was very apologetic. Having received the bill at the end of the night, we discovered the initial disinterested staff member had added someone else’s food bill onto ours! Going to the bar I thought would be problematic because there was quite a few people waiting, and only one member of staff at the bar. However the one member of staff recognised myself as a diner that evening, and I was served quite quickly.
