The Anonymous Widower

Return to The Talbot

I ate in The Talbot at 109 Mortimer Road in de Beauvoir Town, Hackney N1 4DY for the second time last night.  They remembered from my first visit that I was a coeliac, although I had said when I booked earlier in the day.  The waitress, who is Italian and has a pregnant coeliac friend back home, then checked the menu with the chef.  She came back and told me that only one dish from about twenty or so contained gluten and that was the vegetarian option.

In the end, I had a polenta  and potato cake with mushrooms, followed by baked hake on mashed potato and greens.

 If you don’t know the area, it’s just a few minutes walk from the new Dalston Junction station.  Parking is easy. It’s also on the 76 bus route out of the City.

If you are or are not a coeliac, it’s definitely worth a visit.
