Customer Review Summary
Watching sport is the most frequent draw, with reviewers describing football and World Cup matches in a lively room that is not too noisy for conversation, plus a back garden with a TV. Outdoor seating comes up repeatedly alongside friendly bar staff. Burgers lead the food praise: one diner calls the Hot Honey BBQ Pulled Pork Beef Burger unlike any they have had, with crispy fries and a Wings and Tenders Combo, while another likes a juicy beef burger and steak and chips cooked to preference. Fish and chips and steak and ale pie also earn praise, as does a Sunday roast with loads of vegetables. Another diner calls their roast the worst in London, citing boiled, wet cauliflower, overcooked beef, a soggy Yorkshire pudding and tables left unwiped. One reviewer reports a bar staff member barking that the menus were on the table, then left when the question went unanswered.

“‘A Kind Word Turns Away Anger’… Was looking for a nice pub on the high road this afternoon for a spot of lunch and popped into this pub. The pub was pretty much empty. A pleasant female staff member suggested, upon my enquiry, that I should order at the bar. I went to the bar to order and a Caucasian male bar staff member barked at me that ‘the menus were on the table’. He spoke to me in a manner that was both unpleasantly aggressive and uncalled for. I asked him if he was ok, and if there was there a reason why he spoke to me in that manner, but was ignored by him. So I walked over to a corner table and picked up a menu and the female staff member came over. I asked her why I was spoken to by the man in such a manner, and asked if he treated all people like me in the same way. Was it one of those establishments? She was a little apologetic. He was not… So, I left and walked 100 yards across the street to the right, to The (very pleasant) Roebuck, where I was greeted so warmly and treated so nicely it would be rude of me not to leave them a glowing review. It would also be rude of me to neglect forewarning future pub goers of this establishment’s possible reception. I don’t plan on ever going back there. In future, if I want a change of my favourite lunch spot (Mali’s cafe, next to Marks and Spencer’s) I will go back to the Roebuck. The moody staff member should remember this biblical saying; "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger". Being pleasant, in a public facing industry, goes a long way.”

“Proud to call Packhorse & Talbot my local! Every visit has been a great experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with friendly staff who make you feel at ease even when it’s busy. The food is solid pub fare, with a good range of options, and everything we've tried so far is something we'd happily order again. It's a great all-round spot for drinks, food, and catching up with friends. It's also an excellent place to watch the World Cup, with a lively atmosphere that makes England games even more enjoyable.”

“I want here for lunch on 12/05/26, I ordered Hot Honey BBQ Pulled Pork Beef Burger, where do I start omg it was so delicious full of flavour cooked to perfection it just melted in your mouth every time you take a bite, it did not feel like I had eaten the burger, I demolished the burger in no time at all, I never had a burger like this anywhere at all and I have eaten in a lot of different places and they don’t compare anything to this at all keep up they amazing work, the French fries was nice and hot crispy outside and fluffy inside, we all so ordered Wings & Tenders Combo the chicken wings was cooked perfectly nice and golden and crispy outside and inside was delicious and we did not see any blood at all, the Tenders was delicious and super crispy, the chefs did amazing coking this outstanding food I hope they get the praise they deserve, the young gentlemen who served me was kind, polite and welcoming, I need to come back here and try more food”
