Hello friends of the Talbot,
Hooray, the dark clouds are parting and a brightness is spreading upon the land the populace is astir and a low murmuring can be heard. Pub gardens are opening on the 12th April. And so it is true we shall be opening the garden at the Talbot for food and drink from 4pm on Monday the 12th April.
Bookings can be made up to 7pm after which it will be first come first served. This policy is a result of repeated ‘no shows’ last year. Uptake must be prompt as tables will not be held due to demand.
We shall be open Monday 12th and Tuesday 13th from 1600 for one week only and then Wednesday to Sunday from then on.
Opening hours are Wednesday/Thursday 1600 – 2300 Friday/Saturday 1200 -2300 Sunday 1200 -2230.
Of course Covid rules will apply,
1. Rule of six (any six households) applies outside. No service inside
2. Masks to be worn when not seated
3. Table service only
4. No cash sales
5. Oneway system for restrooms to be adhered to
We are all very excited about reopening in some capacity lets hope the weather is kind. I’m sure we can all get through this and back to some normality come June. So lets all be nice to each other and have a jolly good time.
Bring on the beer, huzzah
All the best and stay safe

Across the UK, pubs, taprooms, social clubs and hospitality venues are at the centre of their communities. Looking after their regulars, providing services to their communities, raising money for charity and tackling loneliness and social isolation.
From 13-16 December, we want to flood social media and MPs’ inboxes with messages about why Pubs Matter, as we head into a festive season that is very different to normal.
There are three simple things we would love you to do to help spread the message that #PubsMatter.

Here we go again, all change, welcome to the new Tier 2.
Happily we will be opening on Wednesday 2nd December at 4 pm and premises will be cleared by 11pm bearing in mind you must purchase your last drinks before 10pm. Customers will not be allowed to consume drinks without the accompaniment of a ‘ substantial meal’ ie something more than a plate of chips or a portion of peanuts!
Please do come to the Talbot prepared to order a substantial meal, you are not limited to the amount of drinks whilst consuming said substantial meal. The latest from the Gov. is that alcoholic drinks stop when the food is finished. If you want to make a night of it take your time and nibble. Having said this providing a meal for every punter is going to take time so patience and a couple of drinks whilst waiting will be the order of the day.
Rule of six still applies for seating outside whilst same household/bubble for seating inside.
We will not be taking outside bookings as this proved troublesome and disappointing with ‘no shows’ during busy periods. We’re sure we will be able to accommodate everyone with a little patience and understanding. less ▼
