| In a part of London sparsely populated with pubs, this is sadly a bland, lifeless affair, more wine bar than pub, surprisingly cheap-looking in parts. Head for the lovely Horse & Groom around the corner. curioushistory - 30 Nov 2012 13:51 |
| I made a booking with lastminute.com for the theatre and a meal at the Talbot and my niece and I visited this evening. The service was shambolic - we waited 45 minutes to receive our first course and it was cold when it reached the table. Staff were running about madly and there clearly were insufficient people to serve the numbers in the pub. Our waitress was lovely but rushed off her feet and we had to leave our dessert behind as otherwise we would have been late for the theatre. Most of the other customers were also going to the theatre and all of them had similiar issues. It was very disappointing particularly as this formed part of my birthday present to my niece. Unfortunately I would not be inclined to repeat the experience keston - 22 Dec 2011 11:53 |
| Getting better: 3 real ales on served at a decent temperature including an excellent pint of Brains Gold. The food offer is good for lunchtime though they still need to eradicate that aroma of Domestos that hits you when you enter... bring back cigars. oliverhylton - 19 May 2011 12:25 |
| Beer is an afterthought at the overpriced cafe. They've added a second beer - Theakstons - but have no idea how to keep it. My pint was ice cold, cloudy and headless. Fixed tables at which they insist on serving you. Zero atmosphere. Ok for warm summer evenings if you are in the area and want to sit outside because it is quiet. The pub at the other end of the street went out of business several years ago - not enough trade. There is no good reason to drink here. mpage - 18 Feb 2011 15:09 |
| i'll concur with the previous comments, this place is loud, and doesn't server any proper Ales, it's just a lager and wine place. the Deuchars IPA is frequently badly kept and off, or worse still served cloudy. if you're after ales, avoid this place until they get a better selection anonymous - 8 Feb 2011 15:18 |
