Came for a bottomless with a group of friends and we had the best time. Phoebe and Pete were so attentive and fabulous! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to have a bottomless!

We’d booked a table, but there was no one to ask/seat us and no reserved signs. We ended up on a table that hadn’t been wiped, and had no cutlery. We ordered on the app, but had to take a table number from another unoccupied table as our table didn’t have one. Food was fine (although our order was brought out with the wrong items) and drinks were lovely. Disappointingly, the lack of basic service was a big let down. The DJ increased the volume to an intolerable level (despite the bar being basically empty) by 9pm so we left and went elsewhere as couldn’t hear our conversations. Not somewhere I’ll be quick to return to.

Popped into The Library in Taunton on sat night , the place was relatively quiet, 4 staff behind the bar , few people waiting to be served. We stepped up to the bar to be served when another couple had moved. We waited 10 mins, no acknowledgment, then a chap in a waistcoat with a poirot moustache served someone, didn’t scan the bar and got himself a drink. I leaned over the bar a little to indicate we were waiting and he very reluctantly dragged himself down to our side of the bar. He could not have looked more disinterested if he tried. I explained why I had beckoned him to come over, waiting for longer than necessary in a not so busy pub, and he quickly tried to defend himself by telling us he had been on duty since 2pm that day, had not had any break, was exhausted….. now normally I’m quite empathetic but I thought there’s 4 of you behind a not so busy bar , perhaps you need to organise yourselves more effectively. I didn’t say that , I did however say that we were on a night out and as the customer I really did not need to hear his plight . Well, the good poirot gathered as much arrogance as he could muster whilst sipping his drink and said “I am taking the executive decision not to serve you “ and walked off ! We just went next door to the cosy club where staff were efficient and pleasant. Why do such miserable staff choose to work in hospitality🤔

Lovely pub, was almost empty when we went in, so atmosphere would probably be better with more people. Prices, though, are high; pint of IPA and a bottle of cider were nearly £14, so just be aware, this is not a budget place. Does have a lovely beer garden, so I may try again in the summer before making my mind up fully about this pub.

Food was just shocking. Party of 14 and nearly everyone's meal had something wrong with it. The chicken burgers looked like they had refried nuggets in them, chips came out cold, the steak was the same thickness as a piece of bacon and the fish was somehow burnt and full of grease. The service was slow and disorganised and the atmosphere was non existent. You would think around Christmas time they would have some music playing in the background. Won't be coming back here again unless it changes owners 🤞🏻

Very disappointed. Took my daughter for a birthday meal. Slow service. Ordered small plates, two of which arrived with missing elements as advertised on the menu. One dish was wrong, and asked three times to have cheesy garlic bread replaced and four times for tomato ketpchup. Food was barely warm, ended up cancelling part of order we were waiting to have replaced. Would not recommend and will not be returning.

Been here a few times, and I must say it's good, better compared to most other restaurants in Taunton, and that's setting the bar really low because there's only ever one other place that's delicious, and that's SAKURA at Weston Super Mare. But if you want to eat steak, this is a much better option in this area than Perkin Wetherspoon. The quality of their steak there has declined, so eating here in Piano and Pitcher is a much better option. If ever the quality of steak here declines too, I'll be sure to update this review. Until then, it's good.

We had a fab night for my daugher’s 13th. Lovely pink round booth reserved for us, lovely waitress (young, short hair, northern accent), very accommodating in every way. My daughter loved her mocktails and the food was absolutely delicious! There was a DJ who played the best tunes, shame it wasn’t that busy, I’ll definitely be going in on a Thursday night again. The decor and atmosphere of the place is lovely, def one of my favourite places to be in Taunton. Drinks are pricey but they’re well presented and delicious eg actual passion fruit in the porn star martinis which some places have stopped doing. Thanks for a fab night!

We visited on a quiet rainy Monday, lunchtime, to celebrate my parents' anniversary. The staff member who served us was pleasant. He was very apologetic when there was a delay with our order, and even offered a round of free drinks which of course we happily accepted. We enjoyed our meals and agreed that it was much better than the eatery opposite which we visited for my mum's birthday the previous month. The interior of The Library is impressive - definitely a place to visit if you're looking for somewhere a tad more special to dine/drink. Only negative is the sticky food/drink menus which seemed to have been handled by numerous grubby hands.

We booked The Library for our daughter’s 18th Birthday. Pete the manager was a joy and pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble for him or his whole team. We enjoyed the private function area that Pete allowed us to decorate. We had food served as a buffet at our chosen time for 40 guests. I’d arranged a private saxophone player to play throughout the night, and Pete happily worked closely with him to ensure it ran smoothly. Pete was on hand all night, and nothing was a problem at all. He even drove to buy some candles for the cake. As I forgot them!!! I wouldn’t hesitate to book or recommend The Library to anyone that is thinking about hosting a private function!! Big thanks all rough for making the evening very special celebrating an 18th birthday. All the guests commented on how lovely the whole night was.

Had the Sunday lunch..the roast potatoes were very over done and even though I asked what was scattered all over the meal..the server never came back to offer an answer..so any allergys were not addressed she also did not offer any condiments of any kind..so I will be advising not to bother to visit this pub which is a shame for the new owners.

Amazing venue ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We used The Allerford Inn for our wedding venue, it was absolutely perfect and more than what we dreamt of. The staff were incredible and helped me make my dream a reality. No matter how much I stressed in the lead up to the wedding the staff took on that load and helped to make everything run smoothly so I could just relax on the day and just enjoy it. With a very short turn around I only had 8 weeks to plan my wedding from start to finish but Shane put me at ease and we had the most perfect magical day. If anyone is thinking of having The Allerford Inn for their wedding venue I 100% recommend! The food was amazing, we had so many compliments at how tasty it all was and the selection, there was something for everyone. A massive thank you to Shane and the team for everything! 🥰

There didn’t seem to anything on the menu for less than £10 except cake. The service was fine. But my Brie cranberry and bacon ciabatta wasn’t well filled, overwhelmingly cranberry sauce, and the small coffee cup was only 2/3 filled. The cafe seems to be cutting costs.
