Unfortunately the Talbot has been closed for quite some time, probably over a year. Some months ago there was a sign saying it was about to re-open, but obviously something went wrong, as it stayed firmly shut. It is now sporting a "to let" sign. With increased competition from the very successful new pub and restaurant by Hartlebury Railway Station, and the Talbot's goodwill long evaporated, any new licensee is going to have a battle on their hands to make a success of this old pub. The building itself started life as a farmhouse in the early 17th century, and it is a listed building. The pub when open:- Image Update March 2017:- After being closed for several years it seems the building will now be converted into residential use. Image
