One of if not the best Italian chef around. If you want a real Italian meal go to the Talbot. No frills just real Italian, if you've been to Italy you'll know what I'm talking about. No one can beat Armando,though many have tried and failed, for example Bistro 44- laughable!!! The only thing we found disappointing on this visit... More

Our second visit proved to be just as enjoyable as the first, this time taking family with us, they were as impressed as we were with the food, service and atmosphere. I must say it was lovely to hear Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin singing instead of the awful noise that is in most restaurants! (Call me old fashioned) thank... More

Firstly, congratulations to the Talbot. A magnificent fishy feast. A combination of the best produce expertly cooked with love, imagination and passion. Ive eaten at some of the "so-called" best restaurants in the World and The Talbot is in the top three. I cannot believe how inexpensive some of the dishes are.......Lobster, Dover Sole, Sea Bass, all under £35.00. In... More

Love the food, although not the cheapest meal around. Friendly staff and Armando looks after you really well. He is particularly good at fish dishes, but have never had any complaints about meat either.

The restaurant is beautiful and perfect for a romantic meal, the service was fantastic and we were welcomed on our arrival by a lady who seemed genuinely delighted to meet all the customers many of which she seemed to know well. Great choice of simple well cooked dishes in relaxing... More

Its all in the title! Overpriced and underwhelming in all honesty. Better food at better value in many places elsewhere!

I am disappointed to read the comments in this review. I do however understand that every customer is different and appreciates different aspects of a dining experience. I can see that this reviewer has posted three reviews about an establishment that they hold in high regard - one that we feel offers an experience completely different to us. We work... More

We received a very warm welcome on arrival from the lady behind the bar and the regulars who cleared a space for us in front of the lovely log fire. We had not intended eating but had a look at the menu after having a drink & asked if there was any chance of eating without a reservation.The restaurant was... More
