Valentines Day meal was superb . The menu was designed especially for the day .

My family and I came today for a Sunday lunch. The meal was absolutely delicious, each course was amazing and our drinks had the perfect amount of alcohol. Our main server was Aaron, he is a wonderful server and is extremely talented! He is so polite and I really hope he receives the praise he deserves. This was our second time coming here and I recommend it to everyone.

Food was delicious, the staff were polite but the service wasn’t great. During our meal one of the servers took a finished plate away while we were still eating! Afterwards we had drinks in the bar and were practically told to hurry up and leave at 10:15 (having already told us at 9:40 that they closed at 10:30) you would have thought they would’ve let us drink in peace for another quarter of an hour! As I said, the food was delicious but the service was not the standard I expected.

Been here a lot over the years, food is still good, the servers are a bit young, not bad though. The internals are getting a bit dated, the lighting could do with a refresh however overall surroundings very picturesque even if it is a bit of a building site outside at the moment.

We had a large family Sunday lunch here to celebrate an 80th birthday. We were all very happy with everything, food, ambiance and staff.

Have to say we were very impressed with Le Talbooth, service was impeccable, food to die for and beautiful surroundings and ambience. Not cheap by any stretch but if you can afford it, a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon in the lap of luxury.

We visited on a Sunday for my mum’s 70th birthday and had the fixed price Sunday menu. I cannot fault the service or the staff and the food was top notch, even more so considering the very reasonable price. The menu was a nice balance of traditional dishes and more adventurous options, all cooked to perfection and beautifully plated. They even brought a small additional dessert for my mum. The atmosphere is upscale, but welcoming rather than pretentious. We had a wonderful time.

Went with family for Christmas Eve lunch and was utterly blown away by the food. I haven't had such good food in many years. The service was exceptional and the atmosphere was just right. We all had a thoroughly good experience and look forward to going back again.

After visiting Talbooth since I was around 8 with my family on a regular basis, 40 years later I am still returning and it is just prefect each time. The food, staff, ambience, location on point along with amazing prices to match. Looking forward to returning in February.

Visited for annual pre Xmas treat. Food was amazing as always and the setting is charming. Service was a little slow and waiting staff were very keen to take glasses and side plates from our table even though we were still using them . We thought this was to make more room on the table but there was really no need for it. Didn’t put us off too much though, and we will still be returning!
