The Talbot Inn

Great menu choice. The food was delicious, cooked to perfection. Lovely ambiance with log fire and beautiful Christmas decorations. The front of house staff were very welcoming from the time we entered. There service was spot on. Nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend for a special occasion or regular treat. We loved it there.

Sunday lunch. Our table was in one of the outside restaurants which are nice but you feel disconnected from the pub. Waitresses were very nice but service a patchy. Roast was ok but tepid. Distance from the kitchen in this cold weather too far I suspect. Puddings nice. Bit cheeky to ask for a service charge on top of a hefty price.

Went there for Sunday lunch. Lovely quality ingredients but the food was luke warm. Also the service was poor. We weren't asked if we wanted a drink so by the time we managed to order some wine we had nearly finished our main course. Real shame because it's a lovely pub and the meal was nice but just warm food on a barely warm plate is unacceptable

We went today for the shared Christmas platter lunch and it was brilliant. We were 6 adults and had 3 toddlers and 3 dogs with us(!), and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. We were in the sitting room, which was really well laid out and festive. The food was great too. Thanks Amelie (hope I’ve got that right) and staff x

We were over here twice, once for drinks only and once for a full dinner. The beers were great, the atmosphere friendly, the service was kind and helpful. We really enjoyed the food the second time. The location is just lovely and I absolutely recommend stopping by, even if only for a quick beer at the bar.

We stayed here for our first holiday with our 3 month old baby and the room was a perfect set up for us. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. And the Sunday roast is one of the best we’ve ever had - the potatoes are divine.

This places is magical and what a gem The rooms are amazing, the food is 10/10 and the staff go above and beyond. It may have been cold outside, but with the log fires made it a very romantic stay on my birthday. I will return and I would recommend to anyone for sur e

Ate here with a friend and her farther.. team here were great as needed extra space due to mobility but they happily accommodated... a great start. Then we ordered and they helped with food intolerant guests (me being Gluten intolerant, my wife Dairy). Food was incredible !

Ploughman lunch is tops. Great hard cheddar, local, plus ham,veggies, fruits, chutney and... ambiance. Inside is old school Brit; outside sunny day cafe. Pleasant staff, cute little village - be sure to see the church down the alleyway outside the inn. And, if you can find Nunney, there's the remains of a castle ...a small one albeit, but accessible and fun for kids' imaginations.

What a wonderful experience. Happy to seat us with a couple of hours notice on a busy Sunday, we arrived and were immediately told we could bring the dogs in (we'd been on a long walk). We took drinks on the patio and ordered food, going inside to our table when the food was served. The pub is beautiful, the dining hall a wonderful mix of old and new, and the Sunday roasts incredible- generous portions of soft, rich meat, great selection of sides and flavourful deserts. Wonderful, thoughtful service from multiple staff rounded out an exceptional trip. Recommended.

My review is based on a single visit only, just time for a couple of glasses of wine. I came at night so could only imagine the beauty of the village. In order to enter the pub you walk through an arch and cross a coutyard, all very romantic. What I loved most of all was the large number of dogs in attendance, making this a true country pub (I know, I should venture out of London more often ...). The house wine was excellent and they had a good choice of beers, as you'd expect. I will make sure to find an excuse to return for a proper visit soon.

The Talbot Inn is a good pub and restaurant in the beautiful village of Mells, near Frome. The food is good, quite traditional...sausages, lamp chops and pies and tarts, good sauces. I took a friend and he loved it. I wasn't so pleased with my veggie option they sweetly accomodated me with. Like lots of places, the veggie option wasn't so good. Still, it's a lovely place with a dark interior and high settles, very English Countryside. They also have several beautiful rooms, which you can see on their website. http://www.talbotinn.com If you're here in the dayime, I thoroughly recommend a trip to a nearby plant nursery in the most picturesque setting for any nursery I've ever seen, run by a lovely woman with lots of gardening experience.

Very well run pub in the historic and picturesque village of Mells. The pub is a c16th century coaching house that has seperate bar for drinkers and fantastic resturant. In summer there is a superb beer garden and sheltered, cobbled courtyard. Children welcome. Whether it is poping in for a drink or an evening meal it is a fantastic place.
