Talbot Epping

The restaurant is easily located, just 6 minutes from the M11 exit. It's got ample parking, disabled access and manifold seating.
The waiting people were very cheerful and competent. The meals were well presented, tasted delicious and were reasonably priced.
I look forward to coming again.
(It's also an Ingress portal- if you know you know)

We had a very good meal, they have also vegan and vegetarian dishes. Always fresh salad at the saladbar. Fast Service. Our waitress (Kerry) was kind and friendly. No Problem with wheelchair.

Great place to dine ...it was like seeing an old friend! First time since 2019 post covid.
Friendly staff, made us feel welcome and went out of their way to accommodate us.

Only snag ran out of chicken 😔 and it was 19.30

Booked easily, and seated promptly. Good was okay, but noticed that the salad bar now has a lot less variety than on previous visits. Our waiter was lovely.
It was very cold we’re we sat, which meant we kept our coats on the whole time.
The mains were pretty good, and the wait time wasn’t too bad.
Overall, and okay visit but could have been better.

Staff were friendly and that's about the only good thing. Table booked for 19:30. Drinks took an hour to arrive. Couldn't have a cocktail as shaker was broken. Wrong gin arrived. Medium steak was rare. Burger burnt on outside, raw inside. Half a salad bar. No plates for rolls. Some salad bowls were dirty. Heating not filling the restaurant so some of my party had to eat with their coats on. Only thing that came quickly was the bill. I've been to this place a few times and have always enjoyed the food so I'm not sure what was going on.

Popped into harvester after school run, Lovely breakfast cooked by the chefs Ronnie & Tyler! Served by Kerry.
Thank you again x

After a year in lockdown, it had been my first visit to a harvester in a few years. The menu is always as great as always and left a surprising new found love of the current menu.

It was fairly busy on entry but was seated from our booking right away. We didn't have to wait long to order our food and drink and with new foods on the menu, I`d thought I would stretch the boat out to try new flavours.

I decided to try one of their new dishes from their new menu and it didn't disappoint. Upon arrival, it was a colossal dish of epic southern fried chicken proportions. The Dirty Bird was the tastiest burger dish I have ever tasted in my life from a harvester in a long time. With layers of juicy southern fried chicken, with a layer of bacon in between and topped with 2 onion rings, hash Brown, salad and a generous amount of sauce. The sauce was rich, tasty, spicy and very morish with the whole triple southern fried chicken being very cheesy and tasty.

After enjoying my main I enjoyed a few unlimited refills of tango orange, however, the only small problem I had filling up, was that when refilling the tango, it dispensed soda water, but with a quick question to staff, they were able to fill from the main filling station at the bar within minutes of asking.

After a short break and rest, I decided to order the cheesecake, which came with compote and cream and a few small berries which complimented the dessert well and filled me up enough for a very enjoyable meal with the family. The staff are friendly and work really hard during our visit and we're hardly ever resting. I give praise for all the work they did to continue making it a COVID-19 safe restaurant to enjoy without too many disruption to the classic harvester experience.

Would defiantly visit again despite being a long journey to visit, just to enjoy the experience the great customer service I received during our meal at The Talbot.

We haven't been back for a number of years. Decided to do on a whim for the Sundae (dessert) menu.

Parking was easy, greeted and seated quickly. The lady behind the bar was friendly and helpful.

The Sundae I wanted was not available. Nor I think the backup. Tasted the Belgian Waffle with ice cream and strawberries and sauce. It was ok. Ice cream was the highlight.

There was also the Chocolate fudge cake sauce. This was decidedly unpleasant. My son ate most of it but it was sickly sweet. He asked for water half way through. I think it was the "Belgian chocolate sauce" added to it.

If you are a coeliac, you are not going to have much choice. The menu doesn't have anything gluten free including fruit salad. Upon enquiry, you could have the fruit salad or the ice-cream with raspberry sauce (maybe the other sauces too).

The ice cream is actually very good and knowing that now, I would probably only order that in the future (remember we only came for dessert). May come here again but won't be rushing.
