The Talbot, Kingsland

Having known this pub a while I never was a frequent visitor. Finding the atmosphere pretentious, and the high prices I was never fond of the pub. Recently though I found out the pub was changing hands. I ventured back to see how the new owners were fairing.

The pub looked much the same, but cleaner. You could see odd job were being preformed in the decor but nothing substantial. The smaller outdoor deck up stairs had been cleaned off, and the back garden area seemed much brighter and water-blasted. There were also a couple of customers dog's around, something that the past owners never allowed. The whole atmosphere had changed. More of a respect for customers, which in turn makes you respect them back.

The food was a tradition pub menu, nothing to fancy, good hearty seasonal food.

Well recommended from my end.
