We were meeting friends in Oxford but left it late so couldn't find anywhere short notice in town, so we found this pub outside Oxford by chance really and so happy we did , great food , lovely big room , great ale , and really attentive staff , so whether your staying or passing well worth a stop

Last weekend we wanted to enjoy a quiet weekend near Oxford and to join friends for a Birthday celebration. My wife found The Talbot Inn somehow online and booked through "Late rooms". We arrived Friday evening and had a very warm welcome, were shown to our room (which was really pleasant). The reception reserved us a table in their little... More

Stayed here for a couple of days recently. Room, in the annexe, was super, nicely laid out, very clean and comfortable. A little traffic noise but nothing too bad. Staff very good and helpful. Only downside was the evening meals - very basic pub grub, enormous portions. Would have preferred half the amount of better presented food. Overall good.

Enjoyed a lovely 2 night break at the Talbot Inn. The local village is a short walk away with some traditional English pubs which are worth a visit. There is a bus stop just outside the Talbot which runs directly into Oxford and is really convenient. There is also a late night bus service from Oxford so on the Saturday... More

Stayed the night whilst visiting family. My Mum recommended it as she lives near in Farmoor. Excellent food, really comfortable bed, the room had all the facilities required, spacious too. Breakfast was cooked to order and filling, set us up for a day shopping in Oxford. Really recommend this Inn, close to Oxford, but not too close and a regular... More

Didn't stay here, five of us just dropped in for a couple of pints and dinner. The staff were friendly, the beer was good and the food even better. They had a game casserole on special, which was excellent, and my daughter had a steak which again was top notch. She is a student at Oxford and said that she... More

I have stayed at the Talbot a couple of times whilst away on business and its a good place to stay. Getting there in the rush hour from Oxford is a bit of a challenge - not helped by the 5p toll bridge just up the road, but obviously not the Talbot's fault. The pub is on the main road,... More

The first impression was that there wasn't much parking, but having found the overflow car park we were happy to leave the car there for the weekend. There are frequent buses into and back from Oxford so no need to use the car. The room was lovely overlooking the river, but obscured by a marquee, which was a shame. The... More

What a lovely place. we arrived for an off-the-cuff meal, took a while ordering as everything on the menu sounded delicious!! Waiter was very patient as we dilly-dallied around, finally we whittled it down to moules and garlic mushrooms to start, and four main courses. The starters we beautiful. I believe the mushrooms are on the lunchtime menu as well,... More
