Ian Mapp left this review about The Talbot Hotel
Another surprise..... the main coaching house, dating back from the C16th.
There were only a couple of punters in, in a small open planned room. One playing the bandit, the other playing cards against the bar staff.
One cask on but my fears as to quality (lack of customers, all on keg) was unfounded. The Hobsons Pale had just been changed and a couple of jugs were pulled through before the barman inspected, had a taste (in his own glass) and declared it fit for purpose.
It certainly was.
Three pubs visited on a Wednesday and the cask was spot on in all of them. One of these places (and it could be any) should be in the GBG Guide. Yet, none are in 2026.
