It was an amazing dining experience. The team really made us feel welcomed, and Angel really was hospitable. We were seated quickly. The back of the pub was reserved for dining in, and the pub had a great atmosphere. We got two three cost meals and drinks. I have been told to try it before by friends, and it definitely smashed all expectations and worth the price. I will definitely come back to try the Sunday roast!

In the late 1700s, The Talbot became an important coaching inn, providing rest and refreshments on a route to London. At around this time, the inn came into the ownership of the Oundle brewery of John Smith, whose firm retained it until 1962. Refurbished 2021/2022 to its former glory. Seasonal & varied menu with excellent quality of food and service. Superb outdoor area with plenty of seating plus heating lamps & blankets too. Dog-friendly 🐕 The staff are friendly and attentive. Definitely will return & thoroughly recommend it.

Had a fantastic Christmas Eve dinner at this place! The Confit Duck Leg and Sunday Roast Beef were absolutely delicious, providing a solid culinary experience. The toffee pudding was the perfect light and sweet touch to end the meal. Huge thanks to the incredible staff who worked late to serve us – their hospitality made the evening even more enjoyable. Can't wait to come back for another round!

Such a lovely place for a Sunday roast! The atmosphere is lively and full of locals but still laid back and very chill. We booked to sit outside the day before but next time we’ll book further in advance so we can sit under the covered area which looked cosier and had pretty lights. Service was warm and smiley, though slightly slower towards the end as they got much busier which was totally understandable. (You probably do need to book in advance for a Sunday roast to avoid disappointment!) As for the food we came mainly for the Sunday roast but wanted to try the pigs head croquettes which sounded interesting - the outside had a crispy light breading and the filling was porky, fatty, slightly gelatinous, melt in your mouth and went really well with the chilli jam. They also kindly gave us some sourdough with whipped butter to try, and this was also really good! The butter was light and creamy and had flakes of sea salt in it and the bread was soft and crusty. Onto the main event, we had the beef roast and the cured pork chop - the beef was tender and seasoned nicely however I wish it was a bit pinker, and the pork chop was massive but a little too salty. The roast potatoes were crispy and we liked all of the other vegetables too which were all cooked well. One of the best yorkies we’ve tried as well, light and crispy but still fluffy. Gravy was good but wished there was a bit more! Nice to come here if you want to treat yourself to an elevated pub lunch or Sunday roast. Expect around £35 pp.

We popped in for a quick drink and needed up staying a few hours, having seen the menu. Everything about our lunch there was great. The staff were lovely & attentive and the food was perfectly cooked & beautifully presented. They have a decent selection of the usual good keg beer and the cask ale was well kept & perfectly cellared.
