The Talbot, Iwerne Minster

I cannot believe the last reviewers comments about this establishment..... rejuvenated!! ...... I am sorry, but, whoever that person is, he/she is misguided. The most disappointing thing about the Talbot and change of Operator is that NOTHING has changed.....like before, if you go into the Public Bar it does not matter if there are 2 or 20 customers in there you still have to ring the bell to get served and if you are expecting to have a conversation with the Landlord or Landlady forget it....you're lucky to get a 'Hello'. Not only that - the beer is between 30p - 40p a pint more expensive than The Cricketers a mile away. The locals are not saying 'its great to have the pub back again' .... they are saying 'when are we going to get a decent Landlord who will make us all welcome and start doing some decent promotions to encourage the local population to use the place more often'
