    Food is always well cooked and nicely presented. Can you please bring back the Breaded Plaice though. Service is friendly and efficient.

    Having regularly eaten at The Talisman for the last 6 years I was really disappointed with my experience this time, the service was quite poor, drinks were wrong, waitress seemed to have difficulty in understanding us , we were never offered desserts even half an hour after finishing our meal and had to ask for the dessert menu when we were offered coffee. The waitress just was not very attentive, we often ran out of drinks and werent offered more. The chocolate fondue dessert was awful, watery chocolate is not a fondue! Worst experience i've had here. Will not be eating here again for a while, will still to just drinking there.

    Booked online earlier that day. Shown to our table and looked after by a very good waitress. The food was lovely and they have good quality drinks at reasonable prices. To be honest, our experiences at the Talisman continue to get better and better, which is making it our pub of choice in the area.

    The food was good as was the service.The only downside for me was looked at menu before we booked and it said mixed grill my son and husband both wanted one but unfortunately it was a Sunday and they don't do mixed grill on Sunday.I just wish it had been stated on the websites menu.

    My friend and I enjoyed the food which was very tasty however there was not a lot of choice for vegetarians. The staff were brilliant giving wonderful customer service. I would certainly go back again.

    Friendly pub with good food but drinks very expensive - over £2 for a small bottle of tonic!
