Talbot

Head down Barbourne Road and you'll find the Talbot doing exactly what a neighbourhood pub should do—serving up straightforward hospitality to the mix of regulars, after-work drinkers, and families who've made it their spot. There's a solid Greene King range on tap (obviously), but the real draw is the kind of place where you can sink into a booth, order something reliable from the menu, and not feel like you're paying a premium for the privilege. It's got that easy-going vibe that makes you want to linger over a second drink, chat to the bar staff who actually know what they're doing, and come back next week. Nothing pretentious, just competent pub life.
