What Holiday Note doesn't like about The Talbot:
I have eaten at this restaurant before, but was surprised to find out that they no longer serve food when I tried to have lunch there. I thought that most pubs nowadays would have food available, especially those located on main roads. View all feedback. What Businesstravelsadrag likes about The Talbot:
I was staying in the village and visited the pub a few times for drinks and meals. The staff were really friendly, the beer was good and the pub was nice enough inside and out. Foodwise there's not a lot of choice and what you get isn't going to blow you away but it's plentiful and reasonably priced. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there but it's more than good enough if you are in the village or passing by. View all feedback.

The new owners will not succeed here unless they greatly improve in all areas.
