Dining at Talbooth House & Spa

Take your pick from our fabulous dining options.

Guests at Talbooth House & Spa in Dedham near Colchester have a selection of fantastic dining options to choose from, the highlight of which will be dining at Talbooth Restaurant, our flagship riverside restaurant. Set beside the River Stour, Talbooth Restaurant’s fantastic menu, covered outdoor terrace and excellent standards will ensure you enjoy a meal to remember.

Guests at Talbooth House & Spa will enjoy Brilliant Buffet Breakfast at our sister hotel, milsoms, just down the road and open all day, every day.

Talbooth Restaurant

Only two minutes away by courtesy vehicle, our riverside restaurant (with optional outdoor terrace dining) serves outstanding food with exceptional service.

There’s an à la carte menu that includes grilled fillet of Cornish red mullet with heritage tomato, baby squid and basil, or Thetford Forest venison carpaccio with a mustard croquette, golden beetroot and apple to start. Mains include the celebrated Dedham Vale chateaubriand (for two) or the pine nut crusted Scottish halibut – and needless to say we have the very best desserts and a comprehensive wine list.

milsoms

milsoms is another excellent dining option for guests staying at Talbooth House & Spa, serving stylish and delicious food in a relaxed and informal setting. Guests are invited to drive themselves to milsoms for the brilliant buffet breakfast and are welcome to return to the brasserie restaurant which is open all day for lunch, dinner and drinks.

Jack’s Bar

Opened in the summer of 2022, Jack’s Bar proudly takes centre stage at Talbooth House. Located adjacent to the lounge, it is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing evening drink, an after-spa cocktail, or cheeky nightcap.

The bar was designed by Jack Milsom, Paul and Geraldine’s youngest son, who took inspiration from the trendy bars he had seen across the globe. It really is a wonderful focal point and location for guests to enjoy a pre-dinner drink before being driven in our courtesy car to Talbooth Restaurant.

Jack’s Bar transforms from hotel reception desk to boutique bar in a matter of seconds. Be sure to enquire if you’re interested in private hire. 

Open to hotel & spa guests and available for house parties. Non-residents are welcome as long as we aren’t hosting a house party (usually at weekends). Call ahead to avoid disappointment or be sure that the bar at milsoms Dedham is of course always open.
