Charming
Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood gem

We believe that it is possible to provide outstanding quality food in stylish yet informal surroundings at sensible prices and we have a reputation for doing just that.

Our accomplished Head Chef and his team produce delicious, seasonal dishes with a big focus on locally sourced produce.

The Talbot Ripley"s menus feature imaginative modern British a la carte dishes, as well as traditional classics and seafood specialities. For those with a sweet tooth we have an array of mouth-watering puddings that are quite simply, to die for!

We have a choice of areas in which you can dine, from our cosy bar with its 15th Century beams and open log fires to our restaurant which features a stunning copper ceiling and glass wall overlooking the Summer terrace and garden.

WE TAKE AFTERNOON TEA RESERVATIONS ON THE PHONE AT 01483 225188 OR EMAIL AT info@thetalbotripley.com

The food was good, however my dinner had to be returned as was only lukewarm, which was disappointing.

My parents were guests at the hotel so I booked them a table at the restaurant for dinner, but unfortunately, the food was very poor! My parents had different meals but both contained chicken and they were both unwell later that evening! It sounds like they need to update their chef ASAP!!
The Talbot InnResponded on November 19, 2024
Thank you for your feedback. As soon as this was bought to our attention on the day we investigated and explained the reason why the chicken burger comes out slightly pink-the chicken is thigh and not breast. I can assure you we served around 8 of exactly the same burgers the same day and all was well. We hope to welcome your parents back to The Talbot again.
