Last update: January 2026

At The Talbot Hotel Oundle, every celebration is built around you. No conveyor-belt weddings, no copy-and-paste packages, just a dedicated wedding coordinator, a talented team, and a historic venue that bends to your vision, not the other way around.

A Tudor soul with modern comfort.
Dating back to the 1500s, The Talbot is a Grade II listed treasure with timber framing, blooming gardens, and centuries of stories behind its walls. It’s the sort of place that feels instantly special — the perfect backdrop for “I do.”

Spaces that shape the day you want.

The Westgate Suite - A beautifully restored former barn spread across two character-filled floors, complete with original oak beams, a private bar, a ready-to-go dancefloor, and our much-loved Secret Garden — an unbeatable spot for photos and quiet moments.


The Whitwell Suite - A historic, oak-panelled room overlooking Oundle’s market town charm, with glowing fireplaces and an atmosphere that feels timeless.


The Snug Lounge - Intimate, cosy, and ideal for smaller celebrations where you want relaxed luxury without losing an ounce of romance.

Food you’ll actually remember.
Our kitchen holds an AA Rosette for culinary excellence, and they take that pretty seriously. Whether you want refined classics, bold flavours, or fully bespoke dishes, we’ll craft a menu that fits your style and caters to every dietary need without compromise.

Stay wrapped in comfort and character.
When the last glass is raised and the music slows, your guests can retreat to our award winning rooms. They’re thoughtfully updated with modern comforts while keeping the history very much alive - the best of both worlds.

Your day, your way - with a venue that genuinely gets it.
If you want a wedding steeped in history, wrapped in character, and tailored down to the smallest detail, The Talbot Hotel Oundle is ready when you are.

More than we could ever wish for

We recently had our wedding at The Talbot and honestly couldn’t have wished for a better venue. From start to finish, the team delivered everything we asked for and more, helping to make our day absolutely perfect.

The professionalism and attention to detail were exceptional throughout. Every member of staff was friendly, welcoming and attentive, making both us and our guests feel incredibly well looked after.

We’ve received so many compliments from our guests about the food. Everything was beautifully presented, tasted amazing and the portions were very generous. We were especially impressed by the care taken with dietary requirements, even the vegan canapés were thoughtfully prepared and greatly appreciated.

One of the things we valued most was how seamlessly everything was managed behind the scenes. The team took care of every detail, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the day with our family and friends without having to worry about a thing.

We are so grateful to everyone at The Talbot for helping create memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We would highly recommend The Talbot to anyone looking for a wedding venue with outstanding service, incredible food and a team that truly goes above and beyond. Thank you again! ❤️

Cannot thank The Talbot enough! Incredible wedding

We had the BEST day at The Talbot and cannot thank the team enough. Guests were very complimentary of the team and the set up but the beauty of the venue and the food really stood out for them. I have had several inquiries about the katsu curry recipe! Quite a few family members stayed and absolutely loved the experience - rooms were gorgeous and breakfast was great. From our perspective, Pip was incredibly helpful (and patient) in all our meetings and made all our unusual ideas come together. We still can't believe that our vision actually worked and that is all down to her! Little touches like the music playing in the room when we went up with tired dancing feet as well as the bar staff knowing our names really made it that extra bit special.
Value for money was fantastic and they really do listen to and accommodate for you. We had a pizza van and an ice cream van as well as fantastic food from the hotel. The suite was decorated beautifully and the bar gave lots of choice to guests. Private area for wedding guests was perfect. So pleased we chose this venue.

Perfect venue and amazing staff, highly recommend!

The Talbot was absolutely amazing for hosting our small wedding, nothing was too much trouble and they went above and beyond in ensuring everything ran smoothly. They took all the stress out of planning the day and Pip and Dorota were on hand every step of the process the help with anything we needed. The food was also amazing, and they catered for vegan options and requirements also. Can’t recommend them enough, they were brilliant. We will definitely be back for events in the future.

Our dream wedding at The Talbot Hotel, Oundle - 5*****

We held our wedding at The Talbot Hotel on 26.10.25. Not only is this a beautiful, unique and charming venue, the staff are brilliant. Dorota, General Manager brings light and laughter along with her team. A special thank you to Joshua too along with the waitress for our wedding dinner!! Our day could not have gone any better. All our friends and family fell in love with the Talbot and we have no doubt you will too. The rooms are cosy and spacious, giving you a feel of luxury. The food is incredible and the grounds are picture perfect!! Thank you for the perfect day! Do not hesitate, book your wedding! This is a gem of a venue and its history and quaint touches. I wish we could relive our wedding at this beautiful venue time and time again! We will forever be grateful and hold beautiful memories of our special day at The Talbot Hotel! The Robertsons x

Perfect wedding, perfect venue.

My daughter’s wedding was at the Talbot Hotel on the 26th July. I cannot express enough how well the whole day went.
We chose the Tie The Knot package but added extras to tailor it suit our needs. As we had never planned a wedding before we kept changing our minds but the Talbot was so accommodating and never made us feel as if anything was to much trouble.
The food was excellent and the service we received from every member of staff was faultless, everyone was so friendly and we are so glad we chose The Talbot for this special day.
Thank you so much.

Most amazing venue!

Dorota and the team could not have been more helpful from the moment we fell in love with the Talbot and booked it as our wedding venue. The packages are comprehensive and so well priced - we really didn’t have to do much at all, just add the finishing touches! The day ran so smoothly thanks to Dorota, Josh and the team being completely on it all day. All the guests commented on how amazing the food was, and all their recommended suppliers were fantastic. If you are debating whether to book the Talbot as your venue - do it! We’re already hoping to come back and do a vow renewal at some point just to be able to relive our dream day! Thank you so much to everyone involved - we’re so grateful for all your hard work.
