THE<br />
TALBOT<br />
ABOUT THE PROJECT<br />
This tired 16th Century coaching inn was in need of rejuvenation, so the new owners, recommended to us by the team<br />
at Babington House, came to us for help in bringing their plan to fruition. The clients had the concept, and we had the<br />
ability and manpower to get The Talbot looking, feeling and flowing just as they imagined it.<br />
THE CHALLENGE<br />
As is common and expected in the hospitality trade, The<br />
Talbot could only afford minimal down time in which to<br />
complete the works, so a very tight plan and schedule had<br />
to be developed and agreed before the project began.<br />
The contract was to renovate 33 rooms in three months,<br />
during winter, and guarantee that the new look pub with<br />
rooms would be ready for a Valentine’s Day opening. We<br />
always love a challenge!<br />
THE SOLUTION<br />
For this hugely ambitious project, we brought together all<br />
our tried and tested tradesmen, completing the works in<br />
rotation through the building to ensure the furniture and<br />
essential fittings could be installed in time for the grand<br />
opening. We worked with specialist kitchen and cellar<br />
contractors, as well as IT experts and interior decorators.<br />
The existing pub was a very special building, so we took<br />
great care in making sure every pipe, hole and brushstroke<br />
was correct and complimentary to its surroundings.<br />
Delivered on time to the satisfaction of the client, the<br />
completed project is stunning – a huge and welcome<br />
improvement on what was in place before.<br />
