Royal Oak in Taunton Deane

Food: uttely superb autumn venison dish with all kinds of warming veg and sauce, plus an excellent veggie gnocchi. Chef Gemma knows what she's doing ☺︎ Washed down with Otter Amber. This lovely community pub deserves support (and we're from London!)

Lovely home cooked food, and prompt waitressing. Well worth a visit.

A wonderful country pub, with friendly staff and good food!

Had a really excellent Sunday roast - pork with lovely crackling - with sticky toffee pudding. Plenty to eat. For such a small village it's so brave to take on this venture - very well done to you all.

A brilliant community resource. It's a pub, shop, coffee shop, has live entertainment and events, and great food.

Delicious Sunday Lunch. Full marks to chef Jenna.

We went with friends for ‘Curry Night’ on Friday and it was fantastic! Jenna is an incredibly talented chef and produced amazing food for all the diners. Great quality locally sourced ingredients and everything prepared to a very high standard and yet exceptionally reasonably priced. Great atmosphere and a pub to visit for drinks or food.

Food was excellent will definitely go back

Only went to local volunteer shop - excellent.

Fantastic we were made most welcome ,great meal.

Didn't eat there. Good beer. Community owned, and the community involvement makes it a great place to be.

A great community run country pub

Lovely local pub I’ve not eaten here yet but defiantly will

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch. Great local beer followed by a delicious Speciality Coffee. Superb throughout. Great country pub atmosphere and very reasonable for the standard of food and service. Highly recommended this establishment. 5 ⭐️

Excellent family Sunday lunch. Great village pub atmosphere and very family friendly.

A wonderful welcoming community pub, my first time and I will be back when I'm in the area The staff and locals are very easy going and a fountain of knowledge Give it whirl, it's worth a detour 😁

Proper Somerset little village pub. Proper Somerset atmosphere. Proper Somerset prices at the bar. Oooh aaaarh

Great, friendly local pub. Made to feel welcome. We will be back to sample the food

Wonderful Sunday lunch with good friends.

Wonderful community owned public house. Good service, good food and nice atmosphere.

Ate a lovely pork and apple pasty here today. A quaint shop, cafe and pub run by the community

Great pub, lovely staff, good music, top menu

My first visit. Very friendly and great atmosphere.

Warm and friendly atmosphere plus good beers. The food from the new cook is great too .. home made / seasonal vibe. I had perfect sea bass with asparagus and new potatoes followed by rhubarb pannacotta and shortbread. Yum 😋

The new chef has started so we booked in for Sunday lunch. Both had the lamb and it was superb, so tasty and everything was freshly prepared. I had the rhubarb crème brulé for pud, again so tasty and homemade. Great to have food available again at the pub.

Very nice community ub. Well done.

This is not just a pub it is run by the community and has an adjoining cafe that serves amazing coffee and cakes and the sweetest shop selling everything you could imagine and lots of it locally produced, from food to everyday staples. There is a lovely outside and inside sitting area. The pub is so cosy with wood burner and a skittle alley in a separate area. It even has a mobile post office once a week. I gather a new chef is starting soon so I will be back for an evening meal. I think you may have to book! The village is off the main roads and is a quiet haven with a lovely church. Nearby is a huge playing field with a well equipped children's play area and two amazing tennis courts . What a find! Well worth a visit.

A superb take away Sunday lunch. Couldn’t fault any part of the experience.

Friendly community run pub. Good food and beers.

Phil is a warming a very welcoming landlord with an excellent attitude towards his customers needs

Lovely friendly village pub, good food, excellent value for money. Parking available and there is a garden to sit outside for all to enjoy. So drop into the Royal Oak and give them a try, you know what they say use it or loose it. In my eyes it is to good to loose such a relaxing pub to chill and enjoy.

Popped in for the Acoustic evening, some very talented people playing and singing. Very enjoyable 😊

What a great pub, community owned and supported.

Good pint in the garden and good company

It's very friendly place get a very good welcome

Absolutely loved this place! They very kindly allowed us to spend the night in their quiet secluded and quiet car park in our small campervan. I don't think they do food anymore, which is a bit of a shame because if the food was half as lovely as the welcome we received it would still be outstanding. Anyway we self catered instead and then called in for a pint! We were both completely blown away by the friendliness of the staff and the locals, they were so warm & genuine and fun. You know when a normal night just evolves into something really special, we'll that's what happened here to us. Maybe it was just a one off, but I doubt it.... We will just have to visit again and make sure.... I can't wait! Oh and by the way the beer was excellent which goes someway to justifying the amount I consumed... Why don't YOU give The Royal Oak a visit and find out WHY we rate it so highly Thank you all for such a great night 🍻🥂🍺🍷👍

Great little pub that allowed MH stopovers, just £5 a night with hookup and water. No food but good beer!

Had a lovely stay but was no food on but was due to the landlady been on holiday

Friendly country pub ,good atmosphere. Function room, 2 skittle alleys ,real ale. Garden and parking,easy access .

Lovley pub great beer delious fish and chips friendly locals

Excellent local pub who served a family of 18 with a three course meal on Sunday. The food was delicious and the staff friendly. We obviously booked ahead due to the amount of people eating in one sitting. We have a few fussy eaters but again their requests were met without a quibble. Very impressed. With a part of 21 this time I can ditto the above review. Excellent and thank you for the lovely food.

Brilliant pizzas, and lovely locals and staff, a fab night out.

Very welcoming with good facilities, we always enjoy our visits.

Lovely, friendly pub, great for a Britstop, we will be coming back

Friendly pub, dogs welcome limited food choice Friday is pizza night,( Prefer proper food myself not an open toasted cheese sandwich.)Stayed the night in our motorhome, good facilities. Be warned that the church clock opposite chimes every 15 minutes all night.

Great pub, tasty food and great Fifties music

Great food, wonderful beer and awesome hosts. Lovely welcoming pub.

Great place for a stopover in the motorhome, very much appreciated that the owners, Wes & Nichola provided electricity, water and Elsan disposal point. Have got to say, what a lovely village to stay and very lovely people too.

Traditional pub in lovely village setting . Sunday roast was very tasty & huge with a good choice of vegetables . Could only eat half of it .

Sunday roast was really good - everyone is very friendly & helpful - highly recommended!

Sehr guter Stellplatz. Jederzeit wieder.

Stopped in carpark in motorhome. Landlord was great. Offered water. Electric. Cassette emptying. Good food and drink. Beautiful little village. Would I go back...hell yeah!

Great friendly staff. Excellent quality food, not badly priced.

What a great pub! Very friendly and accommodating, excellent and well priced food and drink, real ales & real food with some really delicious Italian offerings when we last visited, entertaining open-mic nights and motorhome friendly too, amazing. Although not locals we'll be back (again)!

We stopped at this pub on a Sunday. Unfortunately due to having a new chef start in a few days there was no food but we were informed of this before we arrived so it was no problem. It has cones around an area for motorhomes and electricity is right next to each bay. Water is nearby and the toilet emptying facilities are very good. On top of this good beer is available and the Dutch licensee and his English wife were really welcoming and nice. If in the area I will use this location again.
