"Fantastic food. Ordered a large grill takeaway, was delivered on time, hot and very tasty."

"The food at The New Talbot Quinton is a true delight. We indulged in a delicious mix grill, featuring tender and flavorful meats cooked to perfection."
"Tasty food. Respectful waiters."
Cons:
"Food was absolutely awful 🤮 as you can see from the before and after we didn’t eat much of it."
"Horrible, food tasted as if not cooked fresh. Ordered paneer tikka it was floppy like it had been microwaved."
"Main was very very poor. Had 3 currys but they all tasted the same. The lamb meat had no flavor so i would say it was poor quality."
"Starters were amazing, mains both chicken and lamb came out tough, lamb was re made but same issue."
"Food was cold when brought to table and we felt a bit rushed by staff."
"Really poor. Ordered prawn starter, main chicken madras, chicken tikka masala and two fried rice with naan and poppadoms. So so disappointing."
"Food portions are painfully small for the price.Lamb curry was poor as the lamb was old and tasteless."
"Worst food I've eaten in a long while,eaten indian grills from all over and never had one as bad as this..the chicken was so dry it was inedible."
Service Quality
Pros:
"Finally the service was amazing, our waitress Connie was helpful and polite and made the whole night thoroughly enjoyable!"

"The staff are very friendly and happy to advise."
"Staff were quick, friendly and efficient."
"Had a family celebration with close to 70 guests including children and were very impressed with the quality of food, prompt service with smiles."
"They used whole spices, including mustard seeds and cardamon. This is rare in a place which is such good value for money."
"Our server explained that she was the only staff member working today as the other person had gone home sick, so she apologised in advance if the service was slow."
"Just want to say a big thank you to the new Talbot for providing the catering for my daughters 18th party. The food was outstanding and there was so much as well."
Cons:
"But they only offered us 10% off the bill. Considering we didn’t eat much of the meal i thought this was unfair."
"Requested jug of water which never came so in they end I got up went to bar and had to fetch the water jug."
"The person next to me could barely hear when shouting. Definitely needs something doing to absorb sound to give the place a nicer more social experience."
"After few trips with friends to this place, finally decided to take family for dinner. Had to wait for food extra long time."
"We were ignored when we first arrived, and put in an awful, secluded little corner of the restaurant."
"Drinks took ages to arrive. Had to ask for them twice."
"Amending my prior rating. Subsequently they seem to operate with less staff and you are now have to pay a surcharge if you want table service."
"Waited a long time to place our drinks order and waited a while for them to arrive."
Ambiance and Decor
Pros:
"Once inside it's very inviting and the seating areas is fab for families or groups."
"The interior is tastefully decorated, the same with the toilets, which were spotlessly clean."
"First impressions every well decorated inside more of a restaurant feeling than a pub bar and grill."
"I was surprised at how large the dining room is. It is decorated very nicely."
"Great looking restaurant, the inside decor very welcoming and done out well."
"The decor inside is modern and clean."
"The decor is also stunning. Very classy and definitely not what you expect from the outside."
"As well as beautifully created vegan cocktails/mocktails. Definitely with a visit. One of a kind decor too to add to the very classy vibe."
Cons:
"First impressions from the outside doesn't do this place any justice."
"I doubt you will find any place near that does a curry that good for the price. It isn't like an Indian restaurant, you have menus on the table and have to go up to a till to order."
"The person next to me could barely hear when shouting. Definitely needs something doing to absorb sound."
"The service that we did pay for was quite slow, we were ignored when we first arrived, and put in an awful, secluded little corner of the restaurant."
"We wanted to try somewhere new to go and eat this evening, and after many times of passing the New Talbot we decided tonight would be a good time to try it. It was a bit to quickly for me as I had only just finished my starter and the main was brought out."
"The place has changed a lot over the past couple of years. Less vibrant, less experienced staff and more expensive."
"The place was good, I been here on a Saturday and it was really busy as expected but I taught the busy can be handled in a better way based on what I have seen in different places."
"Went here Saturday with four family members, the staff were amazing, the food quite good too. The downfall to this place is the horrendous noise!"
