The Talbot Inn, Much Wenlock

We visited Much Wenlock on a Sunday lunchtime and the place was deserted. We walked into the Talbot and realised that everyone was in this old looking (if slightly neglected) pub. We sat outside and ordered food. I had the fish pie which was ruined by the pound of cheese that had been melted on top. My fiancee had the Shropshire pie. The menu claimed that it had leeks in it but these were few and far between. My main disappointment though was the quality of the pork in this pie. It was stringy and old and contained gristle. I try to never leave anything on my plate but in this instance had to do just that. My British-ness prevented me from saying anything which I now regret. The beer was well kept though.
