There’s a good chance you’ll have seen our silver carving trolley while dining at Talbooth Restaurant.
Whether it’s carving Sunday lunch at the table, serving turkey tableside throughout the month of December, or simply sitting proudly in the hallway between services, it’s been part of the restaurant’s story for over fifty years.
Recently the trolley went away for its first (well-earned) major professional restoration, and on its return we thought it would be fun to recreate a photo from when it first arrived at the Talbooth back in 1974.
Swipe to see the modern day photo. Can you spot the similarities?
Don’t miss our Taste of Talbooth menu, the ultimate way to celebrate at Talbooth Restaurant, this December.
£85 per person (or £135 with wine flight)
You can also make a night of it with our luxurious Taste of Talbooth stay at Talbooth House & Spa for £590 per room, which includes your dinner and a spa treatment.
