The Talbot - Stoke-on-Trent

Usually great but under new management I am lead to believe My friends dinner was appalling it was replaced and the veg was so overcooked

Beautiful pub , friendly staff but extremely disappointing. Soup of the day arrived and was not the one that I was offered, the one they provided I couldn’t eat so sent it back and there was no replacement t so I had to wait whilst my friend ate her starter. We then waited 30 mins for our main courses. The main courses arrived I ordered a chicken and bacon salad the lettuce was slimy and past it best, there was so much onion it was inedible. I was offered a replacement meal which due to my dietary requirements I could y have so I was offered some new potatoes and vegetables. This took about 20 minutes and when they arrived the carrots were so overcooked they bent in half. My starter which was returned was remove from the bill and so was my main. The waitress could t apologise enough

Popped in for drinks and ended up ordering from the nibbles menu . At 3 for a tenner excellent value. They were so tasty. I tried my very 1st Scotch egg not a fan of egg white or hard yolk these were soft boiled and they had unusually paired them with brown sauce a triumph. We had a full meal here earlier this month it was a bit special and whoever is head chef is doing a great job

Really lovely meal and served by the lovely Lucy. I had gammon egg and chips and with 50% off with the vintage inn app it was very well worth it. All 4 of us enjoyed our meal. Thank you

Great spot after our walk Tim was great, met all our needs Beef and red wine pie was lovely went really well with a Guinness.
