The Wild Garlic at the Talbot Inn, Iwerne Minster
Once The Talbot, renowned for its food and ales. It closed and was taken over by Matt Follas as a restaurant in May 2013 with accommodation and cookery master classes. The restaurant closed at the beginning of November 2013.
To the right of the pub is the site of the petrol station and Garage which is being redeveloped as flats. Will the pub site go the same way? The brewery has been trying to redevelop the stable blocks,and carpark and reduce the size of the pub for some years.
Mr Follas (who won Masterchef in 2008) had previously run The Wild Garlic at Beaminster in West Dorset, but that closed in May 2013 when he transferred the business to Iwerne. Part of the reason for his move was a lack of trade in Beaminster due to the closure of Horn Hill tunnel after a tragic landslip in July 2012. The tunnel reopened in July 2013.

Brewer's sign, restaurant sign and pub weather vane
Signs at the closed Wild Garlic,ex Talbot in Iwerne Minster. The Hall and Woodhouse Badger sign is not so common nowadays and the weather vane showing a hunting scene relates to the original name of the pub, the Talbot being a now extinct hunting dog. The old sign of the pub was a heraldic representation of a black dog, being the coat of arms of the local family named Bower.

Back to "The Talbot"

Image It should be noted that the sign now has the standard heraldic representation of a Talbot hunting dog in white, rather than that from the local Bower family coat of arms which is black and was on the original pub sign, see

The Talbot, Iwerne Minster
All the buildings along Blandford Road here follow this design, old and new. I have seen other villages following the same design elsewhere in the south.
