Kings Arms Taunton in Taunton Deane

Absolutely the worst place we’ve ever eaten. They had hardly anything on the menu….no chicken, no sausage, no pies, no gammon. The music was so loud in there you couldn’t even have a conversation. The food was served with the smallest amount of chips and they were cremated. (See pics). My partner returned her meal and received a refund. The kids meals were supposed to come with deserts that we had paid for but they never received them. The bar lady was so rude too, has no customer service skills. Awful place!! Avoid at all costs.

Lovely edge of town pub. Dog friendly. Great range of beers and lagers. Plenty of room inside and room outside if the weather's ok. Great karaoke on a Friday night.

Good quality food and drink for a reasonable price

Good atmosphere, but only quick meals.In the old days you could have a roast with local produce

Came here for dinner. It was very loud in here Ordered our food. Came out piping hot, enjoyed what I had but couldn't eat anymore I think I was chickened out! So my Friend finished it off. Had gravy pot with it, found it quite salty. Service was good, and did a return to table.

Fabulous place especially if you want to watch Sky Sports with your own dinette TV! The guys behind the bar were both welcoming and very kind to let my young lad and ne watch the football with a dish of chips!!! Thank you guys! We will defo be returning!

Can I be honest? This is the best little pub I've ever found on my way to the train station. The company is top notch. What a beautiful bunch of humans.nRestored my faith in humanity xxx

Fourth time we have travelled to Taunton to meet a friend here. Not far off 5 stars all round.

Brilliant customs service by Tash when I came in the other day. Food was incredible. Atmosphere was fantastic. Will be back

Bar staff wouldn’t find coins for outside parking. So won’t be going back. Didn’t want a freebee, would have put the money on the card.

What a good night on Saturday! Music was fantastic, bar staff were friendly and efficient, the atmosphere was the best it’s been since Nick was there! Great night! Thank you!

Bar Staff and Chef very friendly, easy listening music, Food Lovely, will visit again 👍🏻

What a beautiful pub! I used to come here often but the staff were miserable, thought I’d give it another go, and WOW that a difference, the gentleman behind the bar said there was new management and different staff and what a difference it’s made! Katsu chicken was lovely and Thatchers gold 3.50 a pint! Can’t go wrong! Top work!

Staff very friendly,could do with more seating,lively atmosphere

Very slow service and half the things on the menu were not available.

Nice pub, just refurbished, good selection of beers and cider, pool table, skittles and hot - cold food

Good food good service not expensive. Clean and tidy with good atmosphere.

Clean, friendly and with basic food. All nice, but nothing spectacular and service a bit slow.

Great atmosphere in this bar. We'll worth a visit

Loud music, was pushed out the way twice, lots of shouting and waited over 10 minutes at Bar before walking out

Great place friendly and friendly staffand delicious food

Bar service is terrible and unwelcoming. Toilets are not well maintained and floor is always wet in the Gents.

It has very much gone downhill since the new management team have been in place. Very busy bar last night but only one server on who was not particularly confident with the cocktail menu meaning long delays in service when a less than straightforward drink was ordered. Duty manager more absent than present and had to be fetched when the punters were waiting three deep at the bar. Should be paying attention to what's going on in the bar rather than hanging out in the kitchen. Bar and table tops were cluttered with empties, filthy and sticky as was the floor. It appeared the intention was to use every available glass and wait until closing before attempting any kind of clear up. Been going there since I moved here 3 years ago. I'm not going back. Food score stays at five as I didn't try it under the new management.

Popped in as I had an hour to kill, the quiz was in full flow and the atmosphere was very positive. I asked what '0' beer they had. Bottled Henekien, result. So asked for half of Carling in a pint glass & I'd put bottle on top. Price £6.20!!!! I paid but was not happy. According to price list the bottle was £2.90 & half a Carling £1.90. So I queried it with the young lady barmaid. She said £4.80 but did not know how to do a refund. So spoke to young tall lad (with beard) who served me. He came up with £6.20 again & said the price list is out of date. As a former publican this should not be the case. So, my experience was not good. But the place was buzzing.

I'll be honest, I have driven past this pub a hundred times and never contemplated going in. I suppose the Sky Sports banners and football shirt-wearing punters smoking outside put me off a bit. Rowdy sports pubs are not my scene. But I popped in last week to watch the rugby and realised I have been missing out. Really nice atmosphere, bright and airy room, well decorated, very friendly staff, good ale, good food.... not much more one could ask for. There were a lot of TVs showing Sky Sports and the commentary playing over loudspeakers throughout most of the pub but it wasn't excessive and it's big enough to move away from the sports if that's not your bag. I will definitely pop back in one day.

Had a great time when I went & the food was good, there is also a pool table. Also on Thursday night there is a quiz. There is a public car park in front.

Just had an amazing burger for lunch!

Popped into the pub for sone food and a couple drinks. Everything was amazing but especially the service from Tami behind the bar, serving with a smile constantly and making me and the people I was with welcome. Would 100% recommend too pop in if you haven’t already you won’t be disappointed

Sports viewing pub, many TV screens showing different programs depending what's on. Food good quality, real ale well kept, offers deals similar to weatherspoons.

This is a good pub for sport, TV and pub grub... too noisy for me! Moved on quickly and won't be going back lol... cos I wanted a quiet drink with friends

The place is very nice, has a great selection of beers and ciders, is a great place to watch football match on tv, has a large outdoor patio and best of all you can play skittle!! I enjoyed it very much.

All your locals and some good nights and some not so good.

Clean tidy bright and calm atmosphere, staff are welcoming and place is tidy which is a presentable

I want to preface this by saying we walked in and took a look around but didn’t end up staying. We left because some patrons made homophobic remarks to me. This is obviously not the bars fault so I left 5 stars. Ultimately I just want to post this in case those two Neanderthals can somehow gather some brain power to use primitive tools, like a stick, to access the internet. I’ve heard they have great cocktails here - would love to have tried them but the two construction workers were the deterrent. It looked very clean and the patio looked very spacious and nice.

The pub is a family friendly place to go for a meal. The customer service is excellent and the food is amazing. 10/10

Good place to meet friends and good value.

Had a really good breakfast at the Kings today service quick food hot and friendly staff

Had a group lunch of 25 , very packed in , the food was good but didn't come out quick enough for us all to eat together. Some people were leaving as others still eating . Shame 😔

Visited on Easter Saturday for some lunch and a few drinks, staff were really friendly, food was delicious and beer garden was awesome, definitely be back when we visit Taunton again😃

Nice roast dinner and plenty of TV's for sport.

Our family a wonderful time playing skittles, eating delicious food and drinking some pints. The staff are lovely and kind.

Popped in for breakfast this morning and was really shocked by the standard and the price. Really good service and will def be back. Thanks

Very nice and vegetarian breakfast. friend staff

A very disappointing experience

Lovely food, quick, polite and overall great service :)

Food was nice but some confusion with service using the app.

We to the pub on Thurs 2nd march .waited an hour still no food .had to get our money back .should have told us there was a long wait would have gone elsewhere ! not happy !

Did a group booking for dinner and skittles. Was exactly what we hoped it would be, decent pub food, good room for the skittles and good service. The Katsu Burger was especially excellent.

Good pub group. Great staff, very helpful.

Food was bang on defo recommended friendly service

Good and attentive service good beer nice pub

Lovely lunch Friendly, efficient staff. Pleasant, enjoyable Sunday lunchtime with the family xx

Love it. Great people and a large selection of food. I recommend the lucky dip, pie, and chip, lol. Great staff, though, and quality clientele. It's my local, so I'm sold. Warts and all. God save the king.

I occasionally go to the Kings Arms, Taunton, Somerset for a Quiz night or a Karaoke night. I also celebrated my 59th Birthday Bash with Friends with a Food Buffet / Karaoke on 20th of January 2023. I greatly enjoyed my Birthday. The Team at the Kings Arms with their Manager were very efficient. A great evening of Celebrations 😊

Never been before, just happened to pop in for convenience. We were extremely pleased with the pleasant nature of the staff and the food was excellent and a very good price. Well done, and we will be going back again soon.

First visit. Nice pub, friendly staff and the food was piping hot and delicious. Definitely worth coming back Well done

Best pub in Taunton!!! Good is amazing - atmosphere is great- best pub around by a million miles!!!!! Thank you to all the staff!!!! Your all amazing Food Atmosphere Service Absolutely amazing Love this place

not bad. the decor has improved massively but its so noisy when the pissheads arrive.

Clean n tidy , prices respectable

Thank you so much Nick and his team for putting on a 3 course meal for Taunton Mencap. Very good feedback from 38 people who attended, they all thoroughly enjoyed the meal , with friendly staff who couldn't do enough

Nice food, nice atmosphere. Would go again.🙂

Good local pub, plenty of areas to sit. Can't comment on the food but average selection of beers etc. Good on price

We had a meal for my wife and her twins 40th birthday and they where very accommodating. There were 18 of us so the food was a little staggered but that was to be expected. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was good. Thanks for making a lovely family meal.

Had a really great breakfast here this morning! This pub has taken over from the now defunct Coal Orchard, and provides great food all day from 0900 to 2100! Grab a coffee and relax with the paper! Try the chicken tikka masala and chips, and breakfast bap with hash browns! Totally awesome place to eat and chill, with a great intimate karaoke experience on Friday evenings at 2000 from February onwards with DJ Nick! The new decor is warm and inviting and the ambience and staff friendly and welcoming!

Really good atmosphere, team is amazing

Great venue with plenty of space and good price drinks

Didn’t have the right amount of wings that we ordered, so we had to change items and then get change. They forgot to bring the drinks over and then when asked we received the wrong ones/we were missing some. Plus time for drinks to arrive was very long or forgotten about. Far from ideal

I was looking for a new venue for a regular Christmas get together with 35 guys. I thought I would give The Kings Arms a try and what a good choice. The staff couldn't have been more helpful especially Lizzy. Food was arranged and served to us in the skittle alley a good selection and amount. The pub was lively and fun, bar service was quick and efficient and friendly. I really couldn't have wished for more. Well done all the staff at the Kings Arms on Saturday 17th Dec 2022.

Good local pub, decent ales and pool table

Had a great night for my wife's birthday last night, the manager was very welcoming and done amazing considering how busy they were, a big shout out to the bar man Andy great service and very helpful.

We hired the Kings Arms Skittle Alley for a birthday party on a busy Saturday and it was fantastic. The staff couldn't do enough for us even though they were very busy in the main pub. We had party food which was lovely and a private bar open in the skittle alley. We could decorate how we liked and put a photo slide show on the TVs on the wall. I would recommend this venue for parties, it was a relaxed fun evening and we were made to feel extremely welcome.

Had my daughters first birthday in the function room and it was amazing. Had a really small budget and the staff catered to absolutely everything to make it a lovely afternoon. Would definitely visit again:)

Great visit. Excellent food and really good staff. Friendly and welcoming. We had 5 small plates which were all great.

Lively and good selection of ales.

Brilliant pub, great cocktails, staff are approachable and accommodating got given a bottle of Prosecco for my birthday :) Thanks nick, hah and the team x

Since being taken over & refit this place is 100x better. The new landlord Nick has really turned the place around

Nice food and Nick is a top host 👏

Food is unbelievable and the staff are cool!!! If you pass here you need to stop!!

Just had a lovely meal of steak and Ale pie with mash and seasonal veg with gravy. The food was cooked perfect. The pastry was very tasty and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. It was better than the cricketers pub. Definitely 5 stars from me and will be eating their again.

We had a very pleasant experience in this pub. The food was lovely and the staff so helpful, especially the gent named Ronan, and a gent he is. We visited again next day for food and bevies and again exellent experience. We will be back. Thank you .....to the staff and management.x

Gavin gave great manners and there was an excellent menu the food was amazing will definitely recommend and will be returning soon

Nice spot, good food, friendly atmosphere and helpful staff. Ronan was very helpful, friendly and gave us as much time as we needed despite being busy.

Kings arms is very lively it has a happy atmosphere and the food is amazing gavin served us and was quick with getting our drinks

Great pub. Lovely food and reasonable priced. Friendly staff specially that nice lad from Roscommon. Will return

The smothered rump steak with jacket potatoe and scampi was out of this world. Definitely coming back for more, the chef is astounding and Definitely knows his way around a kitchen. Happy to return any day of the week

Amazing pub amazing food gavin leo Bolton is so polite and has time for you and very friendly and makes you feel very welcome well done very happy customer 😊😁

Was trying to find a good pub in Taunton. This seemed promising. Very disappointing pint of Doom Bar. Normally a nice pint, but not here. Never again. Sky Sports should have given me a clue.

A fantastic pub which has had a complete makeover , we booked a table for the football , great service and great food as well and the pub looks cracking , will be going back !!

We were served for the evening meal excellently, friendly atmosphere, all staff very helpful

Saturday breakfast full English much better value than Wetherspoons and better quality food and staff were polite. We will definitely go back soon.

Lovely lunch at this friendly pub. Great food, great prices and lovely staff. Highly recommend! Thank you 😊

Great value for money: Very impressed with the decor and changes to improve the environment; welcoming team and attentive to customers: Thank you 😊
