Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I meet with 2 friends at The Talbot every year for a pre Christmas meal. Last Friday evening we all ordered roast turkey dinner which was beautifully cooked and very tasty. Desserts afterwards were great too. Staff were friendly and service was good. Another very...enjoyable evening at the Talbot Inn.More

Wow wow wow! An absolute local gem. This restaurant/old village pub is perfect for family and friends visits. We moved to the area last year and it’s become our new local with us naturally taking all our family and friends! We recently experienced the tasting...menu evening that they do on the last Friday of the month with the wine pairing. The staff were exceptional and the food phenomenal. Huge shout out to Josie. We have since recommended to it the rest of our family in Barnsley. It was the perfect occasion to celebrate a family meal with my parents who aren’t from the area. The vibe, atmosphere and decor are brilliant. In addition, we have spent many Sundays getting a roast dinner which are brilliant. We sometimes sit downstairs in the bar area when we have the dog and cannot fault the service or quality of food having experienced both. The downstairs pub area is lovely and cosy with the fire on. The dates and steaks night on a Thursday is more than worth the visit! I have also been on a Saturday lunch for their sandwiches and Saturday evening for drinks and it’s nice to see they have loyal staff members you recognise each time. If you need a go to for all occasions, attentive staff and excellent food in a hearty pub/restaurant this is your go to.More

We’ve been coming to the Talbot for many years, eating in both the bar and restaurant, and it never disappoints. We ate in the restaurant on this occasion. The food and service were exceptional as usual. My wife and I shared the Chateaubriand which was...outstanding - cooked to perfection and great value for money. Needless to say, we’ll be back. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g6091987-d815621-r914362739-The_Talbot_Inn-Mapplewell_Barnsley_South_Yorkshire_England.html#More

Old village pub which one assumes must have spent most of its life as a miners' pub. Internally it has been heavily modernised to the extent that there is little left of the original pub, except for the wooden beams. One the bar there is...an excellent range of mainly locally brewed ales, including some from Nailmaker Brewery which runs the pub. Food is high quality and reasonably priced for what it is, and they also do special promotions on certain days of the week. I enjoyed the Crispy Pork Belly, which has long been a personal favourite of mine. Staff make everyone feel very welcome.More

Sad to say soup I ordered was not good taken back and either watered down or milk added to it was more a look of a curry sauce rather than carrot and coriander soup.

Dropped in Saturday lunchtime having been recommended by a friend. We were not disappointed. Lovely food, a wonderful BLT with fantastic chips. Service was really good, beer great and the wine went down well. Spotlessly clean and really well decorated. Will be back for a...Sunday lunch in the restaurant.More
