Talisman Hotel & Restaurant

"All I can say is WOW! I worked at this establishment 12-14 years ago and then had my first date with my husband 11 years ago here but honestly this place has really upped its game! We went last Sunday for my grandmothers 80th. All the meals came out in a timely fashion and were present so beautifully! The staff were so welcoming and lovely. Would definitely like to go back :)"

"Didn't eat there. Stayed in a room. Beautifully presented, very clean. But even though I'd paid extra for a bigger room away from the road, still ended up roadside. No sleep between road and next door guests snoring. Be prepared there's noone to help in the morning if you need it, as it's all closed."

"We have travelled to a few countries and of the Best Seafood Chowder and Scotch fillet we have had! Wonderful atmosphere, great service and delicious meals!"

"Had a large group lunch and had pre ordered, so everything ran smoothly. Staff were super friendly and helpful and food was delicious. Great atmosphere at a great location with plenty of parking out back"

"I’ve been coming to this place for years and years because the food is great! Each time I come back the service gets worse and worse. It feels like this pub does not like having customers. Each time we have tried to call and book ahead the staff discourage me and say they are closing early and not taking bookings. When we show up without a booking they reluctantly rush us through saying last orders are at 7:30pm even on a Thursday evening at 6:30pm. Each time I have dined here they have successfully managed to chase their customers out and close up by 8:30pm every night. I understand that staff would like to get home but the place is still busy at 7:30pm. We have never felt welcomed by the staff here, rather discouraged. The one face who is great and is now leaving is, London. A shame they lose the only friendly face who treats the customers like they are welcome and it’s also a shame this is the only pub with good food in town."
