"daniel and the staff of the talbot were attentive, polite, friendly and helpful from the first contact. nothing was too much annoyed. the bedrooms were amazing. I had booked five rooms for us and our friends, of course the best for us. were not disappointing. room had a super king size bed that was so comfortable. the beautiful furnishings and an amazing bathroom in the bedroom felt very luxurious. our friends were equally impressed by their dreams and from my own room gave a great value for money. our guests arrived early to decorate the dining room. the table was comfortable and the room was perfect for a group of this size. the room had comfortable sofas at one end to relax after dinner. the room had its own music system and we were able to control the loudness. to some extent, as we saw fit. we could bring our own prosecco and wein for an appropriate cork fee. daniel put our wein in the cellar before the day, how arranged and ensured that the white was cold in ice cups and the red was the perfect temperature before serving. he also remembered to produce the dessert wines I had completely forgotten. daniel had organized at the beginning of the night an egg beer and apfel wine for the non-Prosecco dankers, of which the young have appreciated and worked short. eating was breathtaking. we had canapés with our appetizers. I was glad david to use the cook, its creativity and we were not disappointed by beautiful mint, inherited and feta cheese bruschetta, steak-tetar bites and chicken wings, we were in hog heaven! for the starter we enjoyed fish and meat-sharing boards that I had booked before. that was amazing. our guests chose from the a la carte menu for their main courses and desserts and each human said how wonderful it was eating. we had a great night, one we'll never forget. we came together as a group to the breakfast and were treated to a varied menu. a member of the group had pancakes and chocolate sauce, others had perfectly boiled poached eggs and avocado on toast with chili flakes, while others more tradition eier benedikt or full English. the **** mary drinks helped to calm our lightly tender heads. they even had ibuprofen for those who really suffer. I can honestly say that the talbot pulled out all stops and would not have thought to recommend a stay or a dinner party here!"

"Not ideal when you arrive to hear land f in and blinding down the phone . After ordering several menu items told not available. Certainly no briefing with staff before service, although the land lady never knew either. Even apologised after someone had already told us something wasn’t available, not sure they knew until they went and looked in the freezer. 2 portions of crab and king prawn linguini arrived as a cold congealed unappealing mess on the plate, that had no presentation what so ever, I can safely say I’ve had better microwave meals. There was a distinct lack of blue cheese in sauce for burger which again was served at best tepid. An insipid mrs and you will get a better burger at side of the road . Will certainly be produced with care and an amount of due diligence. I’m not actually sure how these meals could show up at the table as they did. Were they prepared earlier and microwaved ? This was a birthday celebration, it was actually embarrassing . When I paid the bill at the end the lady behind the bar asked was everything ok to which I replied was fine. She said are you sure because you certainly don’t look like it was. The meal was so bad I did not want the evening to become confrontational no amount of recompense or refund could of changed the abomination of food we were served. I paid and we left. A shame because I’m sure the pub has potential, but proper training and professionalism in hospitality essential."
