Reviews in Gloucestershire

We dined here Saturday evening & what a lovely treat it was! The food was divine and service 2nd to none. Thank you The Talbot

Inspite of all the restrictions imposed on pubs they still managed to provide an enjoyable experience for an evening meal for my daughter and myself .The food was of a good quality and the service was exceptional.

As soon as we arrived we were welcomed, asked if we’d booked (we had) & then asked to use the hand sanitiser before being shown to our table. There were three of us so we had a table for four, in the corner by the window & well spaced away from any other tables. Although it feels a little strange & sparse, we felt very safe & the staff were excellent. The food was very fresh & enjoyable as it always has been. Currently the days when you could just walk in & get a table are a long way off I think, we saw numerous people turned away because tables were either pre-booked or there wasn’t a free table for them. Booking is highly recommended, especially as it’s in a very popular Cotswold town.

We ate here during a weekend trip to Stow on the Wold recently. The staff were very nice and attentive however the food was really poor. I have no problem paying for a more expensive meal but I do expect at the prices that are being charged to be able to say it was a good meal. The lasagna was dry and stuck to the bowl and my husbands burger was dry and tasteless, for £50 including a drink each it was not a cheap meal. Very disappointed.

The waitress was kind and helpful and the social distancing measures were good. There was a choice of bitters and it was great to be able to test these before ordering. However, we were disappointed with the food. We had 8 main meals and they were all overcooked and felt as if many had been microwaved, rather than being freshly prepared. The fruit crumble had no fruit in it, just a floury top. The food was overpriced for the poor quality. The pub is in a pretty setting though.

We thought the staff at the Talbot did a great job. We had of course pre-booked and this was our first evening out in months. We all felt very safe and looked after. Their system was thorough, no-hassle and reassuring. Our waitress was lovely and kept a reasonable distance in her mask. We had one-use menus which seemed a good idea. Our food was very good indeed and seemed very good value for the price. There were very few people there (obviously this was deliberate to keep diners distant - I’m sure they had to turn lots away) and we saw another table thoroughly cleaned once it’s occupants had gone. It’s funny to write a review which doesn’t really concentrate on the food but, in many ways, that wasn’t really what we were most focussed on. However we were glad we’d chosen The Talbot for lots of reasons and I’d like to congratulate the staff on providing us with a relaxed and enjoyable evening for a special reunion. Highly recommended.

4 of us met up at Stow on the Wold in the Talbot. We had a lovely meal. We all had something different and everyone was happy.

A real locals pub, but with rooms and good food too!

The guys at The Talbot were very welcoming. We had a great meal, along with some fantastic cask ales. Highly recommended!

Large spacious restaurant with a unique vibe. You order and pay at the bar which I don't like. I had the macaroni cheese and a glass of wine which was very tasty and good value

Really great value hotel in the centre of Tewkesbury. Being a Tudor building its full of character and historical interest. Beer and food good and the price of the bedroom excellent!

Enjoyed a lovely lunch after a wander around this beautiful village in the Cotswolds. The Pate was very tasty.

My friend and I went here for food and a drink recently. We decided to have two steaks as they were on offer at £21 for the two. We ordered half a pint of Thatchers cider and a small glass of Malbec wine. The food was served fairly quickly but my friends steak was over done. So was mine but I wasn't that concerned. She complained about her steak and another one was brought which was also over done. She left hers. When I went to pay, the barman said he wouldn't charge for the one steak and gave me the bill. I paid but on returning home I noticed I had been charged £24.20p, which meant the drinks were over £10. Very unimpressed with the food and the price.

Brilliant many thanks for putting up with us lot (22/4/2017) cheers all bar staff ,kitchen staff etc ,l uv n hugs to you all xxx

Very impressed by the transformation of the fabric of the building making it a delightful place to eat. Staff lovely and so polite and lively. Food just as expected and house wine good value. Nicely brought to the table with chef holding tray and waitress taking it off and both dishes together and hot!Altogether an excellent first meal and will try lunch soon:Good luck to all concerned and I hope Cote will be a great success - certainly the company has worked at making it a great eating experience.Very tasteful loos bar being upstairs.
