We used Tristan's regularly, mostly between Valentine's and May. We always have 3 courses plus a Fillet steak, the sauces are great, wines are realistically priced, service is friendly and excellent. It's advisable to book well in advance.

First time here and what an excellent meal and experience. The food was excellent and so tasty, we have paid a lot more and not had anywhere near as good as this. I had the apple 3 ways, pork with crackling, and I didn’t want to finish it. The sauce I could have had as a soup it was so delicious. The bread & butter pudding was the best I have ever had out. This place is a real hidden gem.

From the moment our party arrived the waitresses were friendly and polite, nothing was too much trouble from the very beginning. The starters were all delicious but there was food envy across the table over the roast sirloin starter which was seared to perfection.There was a small error with one of the mains, but it was resolved quickly and we were compensated more than suitably. Both steaks for our table were cooked beautifully when they arrived and the pork chop was an incredible portion! I personally had the beef bourguignon and the red wine sauce was the most delicious thing I've had for a very long time! One of our party considers herself a 'burger' connoisseur and was very impressed by the steak burgers. All of our alterations (no mushroom or tomato on a steak, no pulled pork on the burger) were catered for without issue and were replaced with more delights such as extra onion rings or cheese!Although not the Christmas meal we originally planned, we were pleasantly surprised by this little treasure and all of us would be more than happy to come back both as a group and individually with partners and friends! Georgie is an absolute gem and a pleasure to communicate with, compliments to the entire kitchen team and great thanks to the front of house staff for such a wonderful evening.

This was my first experience of Tristan's and i was very impressed on all levels.The menu was exciting and included a great selection of meat, fish and veggie dishes and between the 2 of us, we experienced a combination of all 3. I started with the beetroot burger, which had a rich depth of flavours and the steamed bun that accompanied it was pleasant, and something I had not eaten before.My wife had the whitebait, which she really enjoyed.For mains, I went for the belly pork, which had a lovely crackling and was succulent throughout. It was accompanied by roasted baby beets, potatoes and other veg, with a delicious gravy.The other dish was the Plaice and mussels, which there was of a good portion size, the accompanying veg once again hit the spot.We partnered the meal with a bottle of Portuguese Red wine 'Coreto', which happened to be the cheapest on the list at £16.50 and we were really surprised by the flavour and smoothness. We have tasted lots of Portuguese wines over the years, and this was up there with the best. So much so, we are seeking some out for the wine rack!The staff were attentive, knowledgeable and friendly, knowing when to leave you alone, and when to be at your service.It really made it a perfect evening for our wedding anniversary and we look forwards to returning again, by ourselves and also with some friends and family.

Before I go in to any kind of negatives, I have to say that the waitresses were absolutely lovely and the food was really nice. The flavours were perfectly complimenting one another and it was all deliciously hot.The reason for the 3 star however was the overall experience. My partner and I decided to try out Tristan's as we ha heard so many great things about it. Our small table of 2 was placed right next to a birthday party of 10. There was absolutely no way we could talk to one another without literally shouting, despite the fact we were sat next to each other (not opposite which was a bit odd).The table of 10 bumped in to our table several times and I could literally reach out and tap their party on the shoulder, that's how close we were. Due to this, I'm in no rush to return. Is it a good place for a bigger group with good food? Yes. Is it a good place for a couple having an intimate meal? No.We were in and out in the space of about 30 - 40 minutes as we just no longer wanted to be in there.

Our first visit.Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, good competitively priced wine list. Enjoyed my smoked salmon starter. Husband liked his arancini too.I was disappointed with my monkfish tails, found a few bones & it wasn't as tender as it could have been . Sauce was tasty, but raw cherry tomatoes in it? Too many chunks of new potato & green beans were undercooked.Husband enjoyed belly pork, I tried it but found the vanilla in the red wine gravy a tad overpowering. Dessert of honey tart was OK, very sweet & raspberry flavour didn't give enough fruity contrast, pastry was very crisp/hard!I know I'm super critical & there were some good touches. I'd go back & try some other dishes on the future.

We chose this restaurant because it had things on the menu which were different to the normal offering, eg, the brie en croute which was delicious, and I might try the beetroot cake next time. The only thing that let the food down slightly was the cookie dough dessert which instead of being warm and soft was cold and very firm. However, this is an observation not a complaint! The portion sizes were just right. The waitress was attentive without being pushy. Unfortunately, the occupants of the table near ours were rather loud which did spoil the ambience slightly. Overall though it was a very enjoyable evening out and we will definitely visit again as this is a lovely little bistro. Thank you.

East Reach not the most celubrious street, but Tristans, what a find. Service was attentive and professional, yet friendly. Menu had a couple of unusual items so we ordered a mixture. Food was superb, especially the duck which came with loads of fresh veg. Chef even made a bespoke dessert for my partner as those on the menu did not appeal to her. Great value for money with the 2 or 3 course set prices. I would definitely recommend and would visit again if in Taunton.

We were on holiday staying near Taunton and would go back if we easily could. The reason why we cannot easily comment on ambiance is we visited midweek, early evening; it was quiet. We may prefer this but i know some prefer to have more ‘noise’. If you live or visit the area pay a visit.

Booked this online, very last minute, 2 hours before we ate. We were welcomed on arrival as if we were regulars, rather than just first time visitors. Selecting from the menu was difficult, too many delicious sounding options. We had starters of fish cake and ribs. Both fabulous. Cod and chorizo is definitely a winning combination. For mains we had sea bass, perfect, with a really gorgeous selection of veg and chicken risotto. A good sized portion, but then it was doubled when the waitress brought out the other half of the chicken breast that chef hadn’t plated up. Delightful! No room for dessert. Great selection of wines, we had the Chilean sauv Blanc. If we lived in Taunton we would be here every other week. Thank you Tristan, a great meal at a an excellent price.

Having recently moved to the area, we visited Tristans as reviews have all been superb. Went on Friday, the first week after lockdown restrictions were lifted. Everything about our visit was first class, from the service to the food. My partner had the fried Brie which she thoroughly enjoyed. The mackerel was good too, although too much onion for my liking. We then both had belly pork which was fabulous, loads of pork & the whole dish was very tasty indeed. As it was my partner’s birthday I had arranged for Georgie to make a cake which was covered in chocolate buttercream & large white buttons. Georgie brought this out with one lit candle which was a lovely surprise for my partner. Although it cost £12 it was well worth it! We left the restaurant feeling very full & satisfied, with most of the cake to polish off during the rest of the week. This restaurant is very popular & we can certainly see why. We shall definitely return some time.

I've always had my eye on this restaurant but for some reason we'd never tried it. When I saw that they were part of the eat out the help out scheme we thought not was our chance and luckily booked before they filled up! It was a lovely restaurant, deceptively bigger on this inside but the back room we were in still felt private. The staff were friendly and the service was super quick. It was a very hot day and due to covid fans weren't allowed but we still thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was great and having 2 courses filled us up completely. As part of the deal it was a very good price but even full price seems very reasonable for a 'nicer' place. We will definitely visit again as an ocassion type restaurant!

Set 2 course menu included 8 starters & 8 mains, most of which could be adapted to be gluten-free, either by pre-order or when there (they will send downloadable GF menu on request). Sweets available if you can fit them!Wine prices reasonable & fair choice, but got seduced by the wonderful draught Taunton cider! A real treat.

It was very nice to hear them enjoying their job from the friendly conversations we could hear and even with the face coverings on, it was still a service with a smile. We both had the Pulled Pork Croquettes for a starter and the Duck as a main (pictured). The starter was wonderful and so tasty, while the duck was gorgeous. It could’ve been cooked a little bit more for preference, however we had no issues with this and the waitress did inform us before placing our order on how it is cooked. It was actually delicious and I would order this again in a heartbeat. I wish I had room for pudding, however sadly I was too full from all the gorgeous food. Definitely next time!!

This was our first visit to Tristan's since lockdown, we booked the garden room as I had my parents with us and wanted them to feel safe. However, due to the safety measures in place, we could of dined in the main restaurant as the tables are very spaced out, as you can see from the video on Facebook. The four of us had a fabulous meal, 2 x Pork Croquettes and 2 x Brie for starters, all very nice. Mains, we had chicken, duck, belly pork and a burger and everyone complimeted on the flavours. Two of us found room for dessert, 1 white choc and baileys cheesecake and 1 choc orange creme brulee, I found the cheesecake quite overpowering, as the shot of baileys was poured onto the cheesecake instead of added to the cheesecake mix. Still nice. Overall, great first experience, well done guys.

Visited on 10/07/2020 was a very nice setting and organised post lockdown. Food was very well presented and taste was great. Partner had the poached egg starter and was blown away by the flavours, pulled pork croquets were also very tasty!Only polite suggestion would be to add bread or something with the Brie as the Brie starter comes as a solid piece of Brie which we thought could have been complimented with bread.Will be coming back shortly ! Thank you

We had the pleasure of having our works xmas do at Tristians. The booking was for a large party and Georgie was so patient with my never ending emails back and forth. Nothing was too much trouble and she made my job pretty stress free. The food on the evening was amazing. I have never heard so many compliments. It was so lovely to see everyone letting their hair down and enjoying themselves. Thank you so much to the whole team for making our early xmas do so wonderful.

Love this place. Food is beautiful. I like the idea of a fixed priced menu. A warm welcome is guaranteed. Can't wait to book a table when the restrictions are lifted. Check out Tristans facebook page.... they've been posting some lovely recipes.

Had been wanting to try Tristans for a meal and was certainly not disappointed. The food was excellent, some lovely choices on the menu on all 3 courses. Our party throughly enjoyed the ox cheek wellington, and the belly of pork. Vegetables were beautifully cooked. Finished up with the creme brûlée - to die for but filling ! Staff were very helpful and not overly attentive. Very good value for money and lovely environment - will definitely return soon

Met up with a crowd of old friends for a catch up dinner and loved this place. Very friendly and helpful young waiting staff. The bistro is a bit like a railway carriage, but the best use is made of the space and it is comfortable. There were two or three other largish parties arrived after us and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. We did pre-order, but £20 or £23 for two courses, was excellent value and the food was delicious. Paid a lot more for underwhelming food at a South East gastro pub a few days earlier, so it was refreshing to pay a lot less for really nicely cooked and well presented food.

The food was great and the staff were very friendly and attentive. My only comment, and in fairness, it's just down to personal taste, I thought the restaurant lacked atmosphere. The interior decoration was a bit lacking in imagination. However, It was a lovely place if you're after an intimate dining experience.

My wife and I took a gamble on going to this little restaurant at the end of the High Street in Taunton. The restaurant goes back to a lovely garden Room and the food which came out of the tiny little galley kitchen was incredible.

I had a Christmas meal at Tristan's in December 2018 and I have to say it was very good. They cater for vegetarian and gluten free so a bonus. Service was excellent. Can't fault it the food.

Great pub, great food and great service and really like the decor too. Food was so good and fresh. It was quiz night the night we went and it was a great atmosphere. Like being in someone's front room. We joined in the quiz although we are not quizzers but made to feel part of it thanks to the quiz master. Don't know her name but she was great. Had a fabulous evening. Thanks to all at the White Horse

We didn’t stay at the hotel but had Afternoon Tea there which this review is about! Poor service as waiters seem to have no idea how to serve. We were rushed to pay as they were finishing for the day. We were not offered what type of tea to have. One of us asked for topping up the water glass while the other two got ignored! They had no knowledge of the place either given it’s a building with some history! A refreshing conversation was with the gardener who has good knowledge of the place, but unfortunately it was too late.
