Located just behind the iconic TT Grandstand, Talk of the Town is a warm and welcoming family restaurant and licensed bar that’s proudly built its reputation on great food, friendly service, and exceptional value. Whether you’re joining them for a midweek meal, a celebratory evening out, or their ever-popular Sunday Carvery, this is a place that lives up to its name.
Offering free parking and full disabled access, Talk of the Town is known for its scenic setting, spacious interior, and easy-going, community-focused atmosphere. The children’s play park next door makes it a perfect choice for family dining, while its menu and bar selection cater just as well to couples, groups, and casual diners looking for quality without fuss.
The main Bar & Grill menu is served Wednesday to Saturday from 5.30pm, offering a varied and satisfying selection of burgers, steaks, seafood, and vegetarian and vegan options. All dishes are freshly prepared using locally sourced ingredients wherever possible, with a focus on flavour and generous portions. There’s also a dedicated children’s menu, ensuring younger guests are well catered for too.
On Sundays from 12pm to 3.30pm, the restaurant serves one of the best-loved carveries on the Isle of Man — a hearty, traditional spread that brings in regulars week after week. Booking is strongly recommended, especially for Sunday lunch and during busy evenings, as the restaurant fills up quickly thanks to its loyal local following and word-of-mouth reputation.
While there’s no designated outdoor seating, guests are welcome to take their drinks outside on sunny days, adding a relaxed and social touch to summer evenings. The fully stocked licensed bar offers a broad range of wines, beers, spirits, and soft drinks to pair with your meal or enjoy on their own.
More than just a restaurant, Talk of the Town is also available for full venue hire, making it an excellent choice for weddings, private functions, and group events. The team is happy to work with you to tailor the space, food, and service to suit your occasion, creating a friendly and stress-free environment for your celebration.
During the Isle of Man TT fortnight, opening hours are extended to accommodate visitors and racegoers, making it one of the best-placed venues for fans to dine and unwind just steps from the action.
From midweek meals to Sunday roasts and special occasions, Talk of the Town offers everything you’d want in a local favourite — delicious food, warm service, and a relaxed setting where everyone feels welcome.
