Quinno _ left this review about The Talbot
Impressively wonky building (1590s and a * CAMRA NI pub) owned by Wadworth. The bar area hasn't seen much change since the early 50s - open fire, pub carpet, island bar and all rather nice. There’s also a separate Jacobean oak-timbered dining room. GBG listed with three cask at the bar; the Waddies 6X was the best I've ever tasted, a revelation, (NBSS 4.5) whilst the Wye Valley Butty was also very good (3.5). Let-down by the continued presence of a loud barking twog, staff really should have had a quiet word with the owner and dispensed some advice. That aside, it was a very satisfying visit and one that I’d like to repeat.

Wadworth tied house near centre of Ledbury. Nice old building with central bar and restaurant to one side.

Enjoyed our visit to this 2018 Good Beer Guide pub yesterday. It is a lovely black and white half timbered hotel with a central bar facing the fireplace, with comfy seating areas and nooks and crannies around the bar area. Friendly staff and locals (including dogs). Wadworth pub with their IPA, 6X, and Dirty Rucker on plus Wye Valley Butty Bach. Think it is now just the Talbot Hotel.
