Deckhouse in Taunton Deane - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great meal, lovely ambiance and front of house team were really friendly and attentive. Thanks for a lovely evening!

We love Joe Small! He needs a promotion ✌🏼 Taunton branch 🫶🏼

A great surprise... we didn't really want the 'standard' junk food and stumbled across this place. Comfortable and great for families or a relaxing meal. We returned a couple of days later.

Relaxed atmosphere..the waitress who served us was very friendly and quick in serving. Recommended🤗

The food, service and atmosphere here are great. We came here on a Sunday for a late breakfast and were greeted warmly by the staff. We ordered 2 lattes and 2 breakfast brunches (pictured), the coffee was excellent and the breakfast was superb. The venue is really nicely decorated and very clean. The staff were attentive and very polite. The cost was on the high side, but i think it was worth it. I will definitely be going back.

Popped in for a light bite, had tapas prawns and chicken. Friendly waiter, only gripe was that the server didn't return with our plain mayo. Will definitely go again next time I'm in Taunton.

Lovely atmosphere my favorite place to dine.Went for brunch had a small altercation with the food but the staff were more than helpful and sorted straight away would 100% recommend:)

Excellent brunch and lunch location. Coffee is well brewed, food is very tasty, especially the chicken and eggs brunch with a tangy kimchi slaw and potato rosti. Lovely and friendly service plus happily dog friendly. We recommend and will be returning soon when next passing through Taunton. This is a good reason to jump off the durge of the M5 and take a break.

This was the best chicken burger that I have ever eaten. The staff were polite and very useful when telling me about the menu. It had a great environment and was a well designed interior. Would recommend to anyone and will be returning shortly!

While the food (I had Eggs Royale) was lovely, it was the amazing staff who made the experience at Deckhouse extra special. We were warmly greeted at the front door, and our waiter, Joe, was brilliant. Amiable and professional, there was something extra special about this young man and his desire to please. We felt that he really cared about our dining experience and wanted to make it memorable. He succeeded. I can't praise him enough. A really terrific waiter!

Great place. Very pleasant staff. Attentive without being over the top. A tad expensive but worth it. You could easily pay the same for a poorer experience regarding food, ambiance & staff.

I enjoyed a wonderful evening at The Deckhouse with my boyfriend. As a birthday treat we attended their Wine Tasting event. It was well planned and educational and lots of fun. We even went home with a couple of bottles of our favourite wine to enjoy with family. Tapas for the night was also delicious. Thank you.

Fantastic service. We enjoyed their wine evening which was well planned and educational. Would highly recommend. Thank you

Always walked past but this time went in and we had a fabulous lunch we had tapas and it was delicious 😋

Excellent wine tasting event this evening. After a pause for a while since the last one our friends and we enjoyed this evening. Great wine and wonderful tapas Deckhouse Taunton lost its way for a while but the new menu, the staff and a willingness to understand what’s gone wrong means it’s yet again a great place to visit Give it a go

Lunch with 2 others. V nice and great interior decor. Will be back.

Only got a voucher for my eldest daughters birthday present.

Amazing customer service! Both waitresses and waiter were so friendly and helpful. Such impeccable manners. Definitely be coming back !

A lovely experience in stylish surroundings. Must also mention the excellent hosting by Natalie and the rest of the team.

Popped in for a coffee one lunchtime. Nice atmosphere, and the staff were welcoming and friendly. Clean and tidy. Latte was great!

Great family late lunch. Fresh hot food and great coffee. Highly recommend.

Had the most amazing fish pie definitely cooked fresh can’t wait to go again. It’s a shame the service charge was put on the bill I would have probably tipped more than they charged but it annoyed me that some places feel the need to do this do this, I’m sure they would get more if they didn’t as the service was brilliant.

We only popped in for a drink. Nice modern place but the drinks were overpriced and then they added a service charge on top too! Don’t think I’ve ever paid a service charge for a drink before. We were only there about 20 minutes. Leaving a tip should be a choice not forced.

Nice atmospherics in a modern nouveau bistro. Good coffee, slightly average food (for the price) but a very comfortable all round experience.

I recently enjoyed a wonderful bottomless brunch at The Deckhouse. The food and drinks were delicious, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. My partner and I had a lovely date and would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great brunch experience.

Wow food nice waiter joe a legend really nice helpful knowledgeable about the menu infections personally I would go back 100% thanks u my friend u made mine and my wife night

Delicious food good service relaxed atmosphere

Great place for lunch or dinner. Very nice service. Amazing decor, great atmosphere. The food is tasty, fresh and aesthetically presented. I recommend

It's ok. Do hate have vegan forced on..but hey. Worse places to be

A lovely spot for brunch. Staff were friendly and accommodating, very receptive to me requesting a swap in/out of ingredients for my dish. I ordered the Shakshuka - it was delicious! A little bit of a spice kick but I have a very mild palate! I would highly recommend, and I will be back for sure.

Intended to get lunch with a colleague. We were told to sit wherever we liked and ordered drinks while looking at the menu. The drinks came but nobody ever came back to take our food order - really poor service and no atmosphere to speak of.

Lovely well served meal! Amazing sausage and fried chicken. The space is cozy and nicely decorated. Shout out to Joe for being one of the nicest servers ever! Will definitely return.

Cozy atmosphere, great food! Was served by the most friendly waiting staff I have had in a while. His name was Joe and he cannot currently be payed enough! Atmosphere is cozy and has a nice style, but can get quite crowded during lunchtimes.

Deckhouse is a fantastic addition to Taunton’s restaurant scene. We came in for dinner on a Friday night and had a great experience. The charred chicken is superb and I can really recommend the choc mousse for afters. My biggest compliment is reserved for the service - the whole team was really friendly and welcoming. Joe, in particular, really stood out - he was very knowledgable about the wine list and made sure we were well looked-after. We’ll definitely be back!

I sat at the bar and ordered a coffee. They only seem to do meals now, as opposed to light bites so I had a pain au chocolate. I was very surprised when it came to 8.25. Not only did the regular latte with an extra shot cost 4.50 but because of the added 10% it was in fact £5, which is extortionate for a coffee house or whatever the place is now. I could have asked for it to be removed but just couldn't be bothered. I won't return as I am sick of places charging an extra tax without advising so. And I most certainly don't expect to be charged a service charge for a coffee and croissant.

Excellent birthday bash, overall very good will definitely be returning

This was the first time we’d dined at the Deckhouse and it is now one of our favourite dining experiences. The food was delicious. My partner enjoyed the steak for his main and my favourite course was the Crunchy roast vegetable salad for my starter, which our server, Joe, asked how i’d describe it in one word, i said “tasty”. We really enjoyed our date night here, the three courses were served at just the right times and Joe provided an exceptional quality service.

Had the normal breakfast. Tasted decent and coffee was really good. What you expect of a top rated cafe. Proper sausages too 😁 Service was a bit slow and not that attentive but it was full when I went. Would have been 5 stars if you gave me a bigger plate to eat on and charge less as £20 is a bit steep

Joe was sweet and funny. Very very descriptive of the dishes. Even asked us for our own descriptions. Can confirm that the chocolate mousse is ‘chocolatey’. 11/10 would mousse again.

Amazing attention and advice from the service team, Joseph really cared about our experience which was obvious by the attention and care he shared with us throughout our meal! We’ll be back!

Thank you to Joe!! For such lovely attentive service and recommendations that all of the table thoroughly enjoyed

Paying a service charge without being asked doesn't sit well with me. It's taking money from me without my permission. I suppose the owners will say it's mentioned in the small print somewhere on the menu but who looks at that?? I look at a menu to see what's available. The prices here are already higher than most places without having 10% added to my bill. Mediocre coffee and yet a premium price. I won't be returning, not because of the prices but more the way the business is run and it's attitude towards my custom.

Dog friendly!! yay! a gem in the centre of Taunton. A slice of 'nice' in an otherwise mahh town. Beautifully decorated and knowledgeable staff. would definitely return

Very bang average. Food is nothing to write home about, and rather expensive for the low quality. Coffee was nice, as well as being hot. Service was lacking, after being seated at a dirty table we had to ask 3 times for it to be wiped. Glasses provided for water were also dirty.

Totally Obnoxious server. Was unnecessarily rude to my mother, when we enquired if we could have a table at lunch time. We’ve eaten before and food was fine. Probably wouldn’t return as customer service is a big part of people’s experience.

Wow a lovely friendly place with great food.

Decent burger pleasant & friendly staff nice surroundings

Have been many time now and always have had good service & the food has always been good. Will be going again. They also have a very good wine selection but it's not cheap. It's in a very good location in the town centre. Also it is comfortable inside.

Asked for a table for coffee, then was shown to a table by a waiter - was then told by an extremely rude manager our seat was reserved for food only. We felt so uncomfortable we then left - and then overheard the manager talking rudely about us to another member of staff! Unbelievable service, manager was rude, entitled, and treated us like dirt. Had been here many times, and will absolutely never come back. Thanks for nothing!

First time visiting food excellent, friendly staff.

Excellent food.lovely stuff. Excellent restaurant.

We dropped in for lunch. We were seated upstairs and ignored for 15 minutes. When the server came we explained we only had an hour left and asked if we would get served the 2 course lunch menu in this time. First course took another 30 minutes to arrive, second course arrived leaving us 5 minutes to eat. To add insult to injury we were then presented with a bill including 10% service charge which we asked to have removed. There just didn't seem to be enough staff which was such a pity.

Wow what a lovely relaxing place to eat we diverted on our way back from clarks village back home and glad we did. It was the first place we came across and so pleased we had lunch here. My only criticism was the fish pie had too much chilly and couldn't taste the fish or sauce which spoilt it for me sorry. Can you make it less hot or state in the menu it has chilly in it. I would have chosen something different. I did eat it all btw and the side salad was lovely with a nice dressing. I love flavours but not hot as in chilly hot please.

We often go at the weekend for breakfast. Food lovely and cooked fresh. Atmosphere is relaxing and the staff are happy and helpful. The only negative is that I dont like a 10% service charge added to bill. They will offer to remove it but 2 things - no one should be taxed for being nice and I want to be free to decide how big the tip is not a computer. But otherwise, fantastic place

This place gets it just right, and I cannot praise the staff enough, they were wonderful.

Food was average but expensive and the hot chocolate was really cold. The thing I most dislike is not treating staff well and that for me is the most important factor in a business... If you treat your staff with kindness and decency, it will reflect in their work and for that reason, I wouldn't visit ever again.

Had a fab meal yesterday at the Deckhouse and was very impressed which I don’t say lightly as picky with my food and rarely give a five star review but fish pie was fabulous and cheesecake. Two course menu with a glass of house white is exceptional value and wonderful atmosphere and music . Will be back

Very nice design and atmosphere. Not tried the food but the coffee, service and location are great. Lots of plants and cosy corners.

Really pleasant. Very nice. Very clean. ~£30 for the two of us. 100% check it out :) It's also next to a waterstones

A beautifully presented restaurant, food and service were excellent

UPDATED - Credit where it is due, Sarah the Manager has contacted me personally and clearly genuinely cares about the service received and ensuring this new business meets the standards they aspire to. Thanks Sarah I rarely leave reviews, and I’m sorry this is negative. Visited today for the 1st time with my wife and two children (3&8). Arrived and were seated, asked for children’s menus and the waitress was unsure if they did have such a thing and only with a prompt was prepared to find out. Even when she returned it was still not clear how children were catered for, she didn’t know and only upon paying the bill was it clear they are treated as adults. Service was slow, and when ordering desserts we grew increasingly frustrated with the delay, especially as all staff were busy congregating around the bar ignoring dirty tables and blissfully chatting away. Eventually we had to cancel the desserts. Worth noting this was a Sunday at 4pm and it was not busy. It’s a shame as the food was ok even if the menu is a little uninspired and the decor is lovely. But, as in other reviews here it’s clear there is lots of work to do with the team and ensuring the service meets the standards of the environment.

1st visit this week and very impressed by the menu. Fresh produce and very delicious

Cinnamon buns are lovely and arrived quickly shame the coffee didn't took a good 10 to 15 mins to wait, very luke warm.

I have wanted to vist the Deckhouse for sometime, and, because it's my birthday, I decided to go there for brunch. It was great. I booked a table last week, and the chap who took my booking was absolutely delightful, and everyone I met today was lovely too. Nothing was too much trouble. It was a pleasure and a treat!! Thanks to all the staff

First visit, just for coffee. Nice surroundings, pleasant atmosphere, good welcome. Found a table, a touch cramped but the place was very busy and noisy. Excellent service, brilliant coffee. Very convenient for the town centre.

Asked if they could seat a table of two....not welcomed, without any words just pointed at a table closest to the front door without any acknowledgement at all. Incredibly rude host. Horrific attitude. Won't be returning.

Food was OK, and the service (delivering 2 plates and 2 drinks to a table - not a difficult task) was fine. What did leave a sour taste was the addition of a "discretionary service charge" of 10% automatically added to the bill. More and more restaurants are now adding this to the bill, which is deplorable. If the restaurant thinks the staff deserve more, pay them more. Leaving a tip should always be the decision of the customer, and shouldn't be surreptitiously added to the bill. Won't be returning.

Been here a few times for drinks and always good vibes. Had a meal tonight and really enjoyed it, Ed made us feel really welcome and relaxed. Would recommend.

Deckhouse is steadily becoming my new favourite place in Taunton! The staff are all so lovely and the food is delicious. I came here with my girls in search of a festive menu to get us in the mood for Christmas and we weren’t disappointed at all! The vegetarian options were so good and filled to the brim with flavour and the wine and cocktails were all fab. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for good food and wine in a cosy spot. I’ve been here several times now for food and it’s all been lush.

Great stop over, friendly staff and good location

Great food, really nice relaxed atmosphere and service was great. Will return

Popped in here for a bit of brunch last week. Great food, very good service and waiting stuff as well as a good atmosphere. Would visit again when in Taunton.

Good breakfast and a great coffee.

Had an incredibly disappointing experience at this cafe. The initial welcome was lackluster, with the lady showing us to our table without a hint of hospitality. To make matters worse, she left the cafe today at 18:10 without passing us on to another staff member. We waited in vain for someone to take our order, and the overall service was dismal. This place is not deserving of even a single star. Just awful!

Just had the most lovely afternoon at Deckhouse Taunton. Really wonderful staff and lovely place to spend a couple of hours

Called in for a snack at lunchtime today. We sat for a while waiting to be served, and in the end we had to call the waitress to ask if we could order.... I had scrambled egg on sourdough toast.... I asked for scrambled (because I don't like the cooked white of an egg) It came out with chunks of cooked white all the way through it. I'm certain it was a poached egg and it had been roughly chopped up! I picked out what I could eat and then mentioned it to the waitress when she collected the plates. She said she would speak to the manager about it. Nothing had been taken off the bill. ...and a £2 service charge had been put on! I complained again to the manager...but to no avail. So ....First visit and the last ....

Fantastic! Customer service was outstanding along with the food and wine. Fixed menu was perfect for us, along with the offer of a complimentary bottle of wine with the purchase of two mains. Joe our server was a breath of fresh air, super knowledge of the menu, very helpful and friendly. We took our dog and he was made a fuss off! Great evening and have since visited again 😊

Best breakfast I’ve had in a while - great friendly service.

Really nice atmosphere. I Love it. Was really good food and etc.

would give no stars . waiting too long , not acceptable , canceled food as found out food had been cooked probably a while .... they lost order ticket so didn't think to find out whos order order it was

The young staff member that answers the phone when questioned what oils the kitchen cooks with was extremely rude and unprofessional. If you are busy seating a table of six as you stated then why did you answer the phone? It’s a simple question of dietary needs. Maybe try be helpful rather than “i can’t I’m busy” This is your place of work not the school playground. Other than that this is somewhere we enjoy very much, for drinks and a good Atmosphere

Popped in for coffee. Could be the best coffee in town! Love the green space and diverse seating areas. Highly recommend

Popped in for an impromptu drink. Very busy but were still accommodated. Service was excellent, really enjoyable

Great place and delicious food atmosphere is fantastic

Really enjoyed our first visit to the Deckhouse. Great food and good options for plant based meals. Can't wait to return! Nice wine selection too.

We visited Taunton during Storm Babet so it was very wet. We came across the Deckhouse wine/coffee shop in the town. On entering the coffee shop we were instantly made to feel at home with a lovely coffee and food. Next time we are back in Taunton we are sure we will revisit the Deckhouse.

Great food, fantastic friendly and patient service! Thank you

Ordered a crosant which took longer to appear than a full English Breakfast. Not good service, they forget what you ordered

Great atmosphere, brilliant coffee and cinnamon bun.

Nicest coffee shop ever been to. Lovely atmosphere and reasonably priced cakes and coffees. Highly recommend.

The food was great - had good options for different dietary restrictions; lovely atmosphere; friendly staff.Will definitely be visiting again and would recommend.

Delicious food, lovely decor and atmosphere, attentive service. Recommended!

The staff were great nothing wrong with them at all!!! it was just the food that I found disappointing I had a chewy slice of toast 2 vinegary tasting eggs and 4 tasteless strips of streaky American style bacon costing £10 it just wasn't worth the money

Great place for a-meal well worth a visit

Great choice for food and a breakfast beer or two!

Everything about the experience was great. Food was delicious; staff were friendly and helpful. Prices were a little on the higher end but definitely worth it. I would definitely recommend.

Really nice place, good food and service. I find the prices a little steep, they quickly add up for a meal and drink when a few of you go out but the quality is good and I had a couple of good choices as a vegetarian.

Nice surroundings, and pleasant staff . I had the fish pie ,which was tasty ,but fish content ,low . My Husband ,had the fish and chips ,which was realy large ,unfortunately, a little to well done . Felt for the price ,it could perhaps have lmore fish in the pie ,and batter to be a little less fried. Would visit again ,as very con evident, location .

Booked a table for dinner, having only been before for a drink. The food was superb. Really fresh, quick to arrive and the staff were so accommodating and friendly. Great selection of wines and cocktails too!

Really nice place. Lovley food including gluten free option. Fantastic service and dog friendly. Would highly recommend. Thanks 👍
