Historic 3-Star Inn in Much Wenlock with Original 1762 Malthouse
Accommodations
The Talbot Inn offers six rooms located in a quiet annexe separate from the main pub building. Each room includes a private bathroom with either a bath or shower, a TV, and tea and coffee making facilities. Room 7 features a king-size bed and a large bathroom with a sloping ceiling, accessed by its own staircase.
Dining
The on-site restaurant serves lunch and dinner daily, plus a full English breakfast cooked to order from local produce. Evening menu items include homemade beef pie and locally made faggots, with vegetarian and gluten-free options. The 'Talbot Deal' menu offers great value for money, but portions are noted as generous.
