Talbot Inn

You'll find the Talbot tucked away on Nottingham Road, the kind of place that feels like it's been pouring pints in the same spot for decades—because it probably has. Walk in and you're met with that reassuring pub atmosphere: real ales on tap, a mix of regulars nursing their usual orders, and staff who won't make you feel rushed. It's the sort of boozer where you can settle in for an afternoon with a pint and some proper pub grub, or just pop in after work without any fuss. Greene King's done it well here—nothing fancy, just dependable.
