The Talisman is now home to new features which still hold on to its history, including an outdoor terrace, ambient lighting, seven rooms each with a unique interior and its own fireplace, and a brand new brass-gilded bar.
The refurb means the pub can now cater to more than two hundred guests.
The family-friendly pub, which used to nestle alongside some of the country’s most fertile strawberry fields, has provided a menu of hearty food and a range of beers, wines and cocktails.
