About this restaurant

Charming
Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem

We believe that it is possible to provide outstanding quality food in stylish yet informal surroundings at sensible prices and we have a reputation for doing just that.

Our accomplished Head Chef and his team produce delicious, seasonal dishes with a big focus on locally sourced produce.

The Talbot Ripley"s menus feature imaginative modern British a la carte dishes, as well as traditional classics and seafood specialities. For those with a sweet tooth we have an array of mouth-watering puddings that are quite simply, to die for!

We have a choice of areas in which you can dine, from our cosy bar with its 15th Century beams and open log fires to our restaurant which features a stunning copper ceiling and glass wall overlooking the Summer terrace and garden.

WE TAKE AFTERNOON TEA RESERVATIONS ON THE PHONE AT 01483 225188 OR EMAIL AT info@thetalbotripley.com

We have dined at the talbot on many occasions and have always enjoyed it and this occasion was no exception. However the afternoon was marred by the fact that two of our party were told on departure that they may be subject to a fine as their stay had exceeded 3 hours. No one told them about this on arrival when they registered their number plate. Although the Talbot explained they are not responsible for the car park this could seriously deter a further visit if our friends are fined for effectively enjoying their time at the restaurant!

Service was impeccable, out-of-box-thinking by our waitress on substitution of Garlic infused Potatoes and Jus on one of our chosen mains due to an intolerance.... First Class Thank you.

Food was cold. Rice was microwaved and served in lumps. As compensation we were not charged for our drinks which was very fair but it’s a shame as it’s such a lovely old place. I’m in Ripley in a couple of weeks with some school friends and will need to book for dinner but it won’t be the Talbot.
