The Talbot - Stoke-on-Trent

Nice eating with a great menu. friendly staff. service was fast, especially considering that it was full on Wednesday night! dog-friendly also.

Second visit in this country pub. last visit beginning januar and it was bad, accusing covid and supplier problems. a worker in the entire es pane and half of the menu seemed not available from any reason or another. but the food we managed was good, so decided to give them a second chance, glad that we did. today's visit was so much better, waitress was brilliant, attentive, and several times meal was tested satisfactorily and that was excellent. really comfortable sitting, well decorated and cared for venue and personal all saw happy and pleasant to treat. since the natives said they could be hit a little and miss the food, but this was not proved on our visit and Tphe Square was busy with regulars. dog friendly, dogs were in the beer garden and in the bar and all well pampered. toilets clean and well maintained.

Usually great but under new management I am lead to believe My friends dinner was appalling it was replaced and the veg was so overcooked

Beautiful pub , friendly staff but extremely disappointing. Soup of the day arrived and was not the one that I was offered, the one they provided I couldn’t eat so sent it back and there was no replacement t so I had to wait whilst my friend ate her starter. We then waited 30 mins for our main courses. The main courses arrived I ordered a chicken and bacon salad the lettuce was slimy and past it best, there was so much onion it was inedible. I was offered a replacement meal which due to my dietary requirements I could y have so I was offered some new potatoes and vegetables. This took about 20 minutes and when they arrived the carrots were so overcooked they bent in half. My starter which was returned was remove from the bill and so was my main. The waitress could t apologise enough

Great spot after our walk Tim was great, met all our needs Beef and red wine pie was lovely went really well with a Guinness.
