Deckhouse in Taunton Deane

I was missing something, unfortunately.

I had an absolutely fantastic breakfast here! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The avocado toast with poached eggs was beautifully presented and tasted even better than it looked. The coffee was rich and smooth—just what I needed to start the day. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a delicious and relaxing breakfast experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The staff are very attentive, and the tapas were lovely. We were served by Chloe and she was brilliant, nothing was too much and we were never left waiting. Feel like everyone went above and beyond, would recommend to everyone!

Great service and great vibe! Chloe you legend!👌⛵️

We enjoyed the vegetarian Full English Breakfast (for lunch) - the halloumi and potato rosti were particular favourites, and there was no fake meat to have to endure. That made it worth the price. Our server, Chloe, was fantastic! She gave us service with a smile - she was friendly, confident and seemed happy to be working at the Deckhouse. The plants help to create a relaxing atmosphere.

New waitress is lovely, but the experience fell short on incompetent managers that served little to no help. Even tried to remove a dish a lady on another table was clearly still trying to eat. Managers need to schedule more staff to help cover their laziness. Not impressed, rather embarrassed on their behalf. Maybe stop wandering around tapping an empty tray and help your staff. Waited 2 hours for mains and then definitely wasn’t worth waiting for.

The staff are absolutely lovely and very attentive. The venue is charming and atmospheric. Good selection of tapas.

Came here for a drink but our lovely waitress chloe convinced use to try a few of the tapas to go along with our drinks and boy are we glad we took her advice, the food was amazing, tasty and well presented. I definitely recommend the parmesam fries. Service was quick and staff were lovely. Atmosphere was relaxed,the restaurant/bar is spacious and bright with comfortable seating. Toilets avaliable.

Absolutely beautiful breakfast 🍳 such lovely staff and lovely environment.

My vegan dishes were tasty but the elements that should have been hot were barely warm. This was the same for my friends with their meat and fish dishes. Would like better vegan meal options than a tart or a burger. Dog friendly at least.

Chloe was wonderfully attentive. Food was great. Thank you :)

I had a steak which was lovely, soft and tender. Cooked perfectly. Chloe, our server was great. Attentive and always with a smile.

Delicious food and coffee. Presentation always look lovely!

Came in for my anniversary, the pork belly was delicious! Our waitress, Chloe was fantastic- recommended me the Pornstar Martini and was so attentive throughout our stay:) We will definitely be back!

Top quality food, wine, coffee, staff always go the extra mile, free glass of Prosecco as we we’re celebrating a special occasion, thanks to all for yet another wonderful meal

Loved my experience at Deckhouse. Delicious food and excellent service. Highly recommend!

Great spot for a breakfast/brunch option. Loads of choices!! Quick and hot!! Service was warm and welcoming with some lovely decor!

Good coffee and private table Just the job.

Food was lovely, staff were great. We will definitely be going there again.

Had a lovely evening, thank you.

Nice but cold… Arrived and was seated the furthest point from the bar in an area that was single glazed and freezing!! I appreciate in the summer it is probably lovely, however in 4 degree weather there needs to be an alternative heating solution. I was asked whilst being seated “do you know what you want to drink or do you want me to come back” naturally I asked for a few minutes. 20 minutes later I was asked am I ready to order now. Food came, we had eggs royale and avocado on toast with poached eggs. Eggs royale was pretty average, but the avocado meal was really good!! Coffees came promptly and were aesthetically lovely and tasted great! Overall a bit pricey, very cold in the winter (unless close to the bar), brilliant atmosphere, great food and definitely would return!

Very nice place! A special tanks to Joe

Fabulous venue with the most attentive staff who go above and beyond to make sure you have a lovely experience every time you visit. Thank you to you all - highly recommended!

Good food but service really really slow. 45 minutes for a couple of eggs seems a bit much. From what I can see the service system doesn’t really work and there were lots of people waiting

A perfect evening! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, while the cozy atmosphere made it feel extra special. The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the charm of this incredible restaurant.

We booked a table here for our work Christmas deal. Staff were very friendly and polite, food was exceptionally delicious and the price was perfect. We will definitely visit again

Food was of good quality. Service excellent.

Had a wonderful late breakfast this weekend at Deckhouse, the food was amazing and nothing felt too much trouble for the staff. The general manager Chris came over and checked we were enjoying ourselves, it felt a nice touch that he genuinely cared.

Chicken burger was amazing! So much attention to detail with the food as well as the decorations in the restaurant. Was also such a varied and detailed menue!

Great service and atmosphere tonight. Would go again !!

Hi took a risk and dropped in for lunch with family Food was better than I expected. A bit of a wait but worth it. Staff couldn't do enough for you. Will definitely be back

Lovely freshly prepared food with great service

Great menu options and excellent service. Lovely decor (green plants), but the place can get noisy and the chairs are designed for short stays.

Fantastic brunch & bar staff were amazing. Turned a dull shopping trip into Taunton into a nice day.

Great coffee and atmosphere here today, (Boxing Day) at my favourite place in Taunton. Sorry that you are experiencing problems with the oven and were unable to serve hot food. This must really have affected your takings. Pity we overheard a lady giving you a bit of a hard time over this. Lack of understanding and how hospitality staff are treated amazes me. Still, in true professional style, you continued to smile through this. Apologies we couldn't rate your food today because of obvious reasons

Nice place to meet something missing as regards staff team work and cohesion.

We arrived for dinner, each ordered a starter and a main. The starters came out quickly but then we waited a really long time for the mains to come out, when they did veg and mash potatoes were cold and the main parts were warm at best. The flavours were also quite bland all around and we ended up leaving a lot of food. Aside from the long wait time for the mains the service was also really slow with no-one clearing the empty glasses from the table. When we told them about the temperature of the food they did take 50% off some of the mains but still added a 10% service charge onto our bill too without saying anything.

Fish pie was burnt and should never have been allowed to leave the kitchen. The replacement (some time later) contained very little fish and took a long time to cool enough to eat so must have been microwaved or placed in an air fryer. My friends had finished their meal before I’d even started!

It is a wonderful place to gather with friends or family for an evening of laughter, joy, good food, and great service. The feeling of warmth when entering makes you feel welcomed and the staff are all too happy to help.

Great time for their first Christmas party 🎄🥂 Just £20 for a delicious tapas menu, a festive Quiz and Bingo. Perfect evening with my friends 🥰 Merci ☺️

Went for brunch, good coffee, great bacon/sausages, disappointed with the rest and small portions for price

Had to wait a while for service, very weak tea, lacks atmosphere

Looking for afternoon food for 3 and we were not disappointed! Between us we were able to order a very random selection that made everyone happy thanks to their huge range of food, including hot drinks, brunch, beers, tapas and a burger. All of it was excellent. Really lovely feel to the place and very spacious.

I waited for an hour, and for £26, I got four small cuts of steak. They advertised it as 10oz. Heck, Wetherspoon, and Piano and Pitcher has 8oz steak on their menu, and they have bigger portions, for even nearly HALF the price. Heck, I would eat better steaks at Miller and Carter's for £40 and they'd still be worth it. This place sucks. Won't ever come back here. Awful. The worst experience I've ever had dining. I usually take pictures of my steak dining out but this was laughable at best so I didn't bother. I didn't like the waitress too giving us attitude when I asked if that was the right order, when I looked at the plate they served. Man, this is a waste of space in town.

I had lunch here with my mum, and it was lovely. The pasta dish was sensational; beautifully cooked and just the right amount. The vegetarian brunch was also delicious, and so fresh. The staff were lovely; very friendly and attentive. We will be back soon.

Hands down my favourite place to go when I visit Taunton. It’s decorated lovely and had a nice atmosphere but the main attraction is how impeccable the service is here. The staff are absolutely incredibly and deserve a raise because they make the experience extremely inviting, friendly and accommodating.

Came today with familt. Great coffee. I had a bear in the milk Brunch was massibe and great value. My dog loved tje redrursnt and treat!

Great brunch menu, came this morning with my friends. Loved the eggs avocados. Soya latte was spot on! Service was great too. Thank you

My original post stands but they have responded and apologised and I will be returning to experience the lovely atmosphere and good food with hopefully service to match. Very pleased with the proactive customer care. Craig

Wonderful experience as always. My mum loves it. Always happy to return to ur place. Thank you 😇

Great 👍 👌 place to dine out service excellent food 👌 👍 great well cooked with great flavour seabass melts in your mouth prices reasonable value for money

My 2nd visit since it had opened, lovely building and I like the decor, food just doesn’t stand up to the price. I had fish and chips, neither was crispy. You could bend the chips in half without snapping and they tasted like they had been cooked in old oil. The mushy peas were khaki in colour rather than a bright pea green as you would expect from freshly made. I have eaten the same dish at other local establishments which cost a couple of pounds more but I’m happy to pay as the difference in flavour of freshly cooked produce is totally worth it !

We came on Saturday for brunch and ordered two rounds of hazelnut coffee along with two English breakfast platters, one being vegetarian. The service is great, the ambiance is nice, but there are limited vegetarian options. The coffee was exceptional— rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed, making it the highlight of our meal.

Had lovely lunch with friends. Friendly staff including Joe who got our table sorted. Lovely waitress Kate looked after us and took order. Food delivered promptly and was really tasty. I had delicious salad and halloumi and flatbreads and was well priced. I was so pleased we had come here and will definitely come again,

Accommodating staff leads to a lovely meal, we'll be back! The food service side was full up on this particular day, but the bar staff was willing and had us sit in their side to be served. The atmosphere was a good mix of appealing energy with just a little of home like cozy. As for the food, it was delicious! The tapas variety is a great bit tbh, you can choose a few to share and they are good size. The parmesan tossed chips were hugely moreish and the eggs royal was a rich feeling brunch along side our tapas. It was a great visit and stop in!

Love this place! Top quality food served by polite , friendly & efficient staff. The atmosphere is relaxed and has a great ambience. Highly recommend if you are in Taunton.

The team was absolutely wonderful and welcoming. Super prompt at seating and taking my order aswell as punctual at delivery. Lovely atmosphere, throughly enjoyed my time here and can't wait to come back again.

Just walked out of restaurant after being left without service for 12 minutes. Staff walking around not paying any attention to us whilst serving other people. Totally ridiculous. Wont be back.

They really looked after us and the birthday surprise was very kind!

We had a brilliant night. The food was delicious and the wine was really good too. The staff were all really sweet and couldn’t do enough to make sure we all had fun. On the evening we were there, they had a live singer who was amazing and really got the party started! I can’t wait to go back!

A delicious restaurant. Delicious food, beautiful, clean and pleasant atmosphere, and good service too. I recommend! 🌷✨

Good food and a great selection of drinks and cocktails at resonable prices. The friendly staff also made it a great experience. Well done team Deckhouse...

Ufortunately was really ill after eating lunch here. Really disappointed as had eaten there before and not had a problem.

Great food, great service, great decor, a nice evening

Prompt service initially. Didn't enjoy my brunch dish, very difficult to eat the way it was presented, and egg undercooked (partners poached egg wasn't even a little bit runny though!). Ate less than half my meal, no one asked how it was at all through the meal, at the collection of the dishes, or the paying of the bill. No one said goodbye on leaving, even though a few stood at the bar. Won't be returning or recommending. Shame as the inside is totally my vibe.

Brunch is something worth having here.

The wine and tapas evening on 19th September was a fabulous experience. Good wine, tasty tapas and excellent company.

Beautiful food, very friendly staff.

Nice place, but please be very aware when ordering wine! £14 for a glass of white wine is extortionate!!!!! We paid £24 for 2 glasses of wine, we visit London every couple of months and have never paid that there, which you probably would accept! Shame because we have told all our friends how nice it was but now we'll have to warn then!

We had a fantastic time here for a hen dinner Our bride loved the vibe of the chefs table space Joe provided such great service! Was so lovely and super helpful

We popped in whilst passing for brunch. The decor and atmosphere were both great. Staff were friendly and attentive. The food was definitely the highlight though. The veggie brunch was perfectly cooked, poached eggs with runny yokes, amazing potatoe rosti. We'll definitely visit again.

We came along to the Deckhouse into for a bottomless brunch. We were very impressed with the whole experience. The food was lovely, the drinks were delicious (and plentiful!) and the server - I believe his name was Joe(?) - was wonderful. Would highly recommend :)

Have been many time now and always have had good service & the food has always been good. Staff are very friendly. 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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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
