Recently reopened and new look Tallys is doing it for me!
Compared to the old place, the new improved Tallys is sleeker and far more attractive. Better drinks on offer, better menu, beer garden, nice restuarant...we're onto a winner.
The food is akin to something you could receive from a michelin starred restaurant when the head chef dude is in. His presentation and pride in his cooking is very apparent when it gets to the table. They home bake their own bread for God's sake! I have had the chicken breast with new potatoes and stir fried veg - something I wouldnt normally get in a "gastro-pub" but it was amazing. It comes with a strange but tasty garlic and ginger dressing and is super enjoyable. I have also sampled the fish and chips (pretty decent), cheese and bacon burger (filling and tasty), penne bolognaise (homely and plenty!) and their couscous is nice, in fact I was pleasantly surprised to see a place actually put couscous on a menu, you rarely see it.
Overall, worth a visit. Staff are really friendy, great atmosphere and they sell Sailor Jerry, what more could you want? read more
