Skewer House Taunton in Taunton Deane

Possibly the nicest meal I’ve had in Taunton!! I’ve been here nearly 5 years and whilst we only picked up a take away, the food was exceptional!!! We had the lamb and it was full of flavour. We will be back!

Fabulous restaurant. The food was excellent and a lovely Mediterranean vibe.

Wonderful food , attentive and knowledgeable service in a quant venue with a lovely warm and friendly atmosphere . I recommend the Skewer House Special menu option . You will not leave hungry !!

2nd time coming here and it's always excellent with fast service, friendly staff and tasty food!

What a find!! Never knew this place existed until a Facebook friend posted some photos of them there. I took my friend along and we were blown away. The atmosphere was buzzing and it felt like we were on holiday. The staff were brilliant, explained the menu to us and were just spot on. The restaurant is very cool, with lovely decor. The food was excellent and we are already planning a return visit to bring our families. So much fun and great for couples, families, friends and special occasions.

This place has a brilliant atmosphere and the food and staff are fantastic

Very good all round service and food, I thought it was very expensive for what we had but that's a sign of the times. Really enjoyed the experience.

Amazing stunning venue with great tasting food presented in a novel fashion

Overall liked it,but a few things that weren't quite good! First, at the entrance there is a juice machine on the right hand side at the bar. The waitress ( I presume) was cleaning the inside of the machine where juice was with a cloth 🧐 Most of the staff were friendly,nice and helpful except the lady that I've mentioned above...very direct,no smile, no welcoming attitude whatsoever...! The food was very good and came out quickly. The menu should be a little bit more detailed as it can be confusing, had to ask a lot of question to understand how exactly I can order to have meat,side, etc. The place has a charm to it but feels a little bit crowded as I can imagine that they tried to fit as many tables in as possible in such a small location.

Great evening, Food was Excellent, Quick and Friendly service.

Had a 6.30 booking, couldn’t busy it was but a nice atmosphere, great food, not sure how anyone has room for the special as we struggled with the Skewer and 2 sides, will definitely book again, only slight negative was the table for 4 had uncomfortable bench seats that were very upright, glad to stand up.

Absolutely fantastic, the skewers were absolutely delicious, the garlic bread was the best I ve tasted in a long time and the serving team were spot on, what’s not to like?

Wow, we visited the Skewer House on Wednesday 22nd Jan with very elderly parents. The staff were absolutely first class. The food and service was also first class. They were very busy but still found time to help us in and out of the restaurant. You must visit ASAP, we will be back. Thank you.

Overpriced for the quality and paucity of options.

Love this place. Food is fabulous, great decor and excellent service.

Great experience, although chairs really uncomfortable!! Food was fabulous and you got so much! Service was brilliant. Don't go if you want a quiet night, always seems to be supper busy and loud!

Probably the best restaurant in Taunton.

Great experience! I booked this for my husbands 30th birthday and it was a real treat. The table had been decorated with birthday bunting which was really lovely. The staff were attentive, food served quickly and it was very tasty!

Cannot fault Skewer House! The atmosphere is always amazing, the food - divine and the service impeccable! I like going to skewer house for every occasion, date night or large party!

Love this place! We visited last November for the first time and the food was amazing. Excellent service and the most insane cheesecakes!

Food was nice and tasty. Such a good place for gluten free food, cheesecakes were amazing. Lovely anniversary meal. Will definitely be going back again.

Been to skewer house a good few times now and the food is always spot on. Get a skewer house special you will not be disappointed, so much food we have to share and the cheesecake wow! You need to try if you haven't already it's amazing. Everything about the place is 10/10.

Definitely our top restaurant in Taunton 😍😍 Never disappointed with their food

Incredible place with incredible food & people. Food is always top tier. One of our favourite places to eat.

Really nice place and the food was amazing. Can’t wait to come back

Amazing place for a proper Skewer! Portions are massive, food is delicious, home wine is amazing and it's great place to be with friends. Highly recommend!

The most amazing restaurant to go for great quality tasty food. Best cheesecakes ever and love going with family and friends

Really nice place to catch up with friends or for a romantic date night! We have been here a few times and the food is always cooked to perfection and the staff are so friendly! It’s a must visit!

Love this place, delicious food great experience and reasonably priced

Our favourite place to eat by far. Tried each skewer in turn , fish is my sons favourite. Atmosphere and service is unbelievably friendly.

I love the whole experience. Feels like you've been transported as soon as you walk through the door. The atmosphere is fab and the food is so traditional and yummy. I shall be bring me family back to enjoy very soon!!

I love going here! It’s a real treat for us and my absolute favourite place to eat out in taunton!! The food is amazing, the staff are always great and the atmosphere is so welcoming! Highly recommended on all counts!

Great place to visit, super friendly staff and amazing food ! Can’t wait to go again

The best restaurant in Taunton! The skewers are absolutely delicious and the cheesecakes are phenomenal!

Wonderful food and a lovely atmosphere

Love this place, food beautiful very tasty, great atmosphere, lovely staff

Visited many times and never disappointed! Lovely atmosphere and decor, it doesn’t feel like you are sat in a restaurant in Taunton. Staff are very friendly and accommodating, food is to die for! Always look forward to our visits there.

Love this place food is always amazing and it’s a really good price

Tried it last night with friends..Wasnt sure what to expect because it's doesn't shout out from the frontage.. WOW WOW WOW. It's like an entering a different country inside. Everything about it was absolutely fantastic.. Service ✅ Atmosphere ✅ Food ✅ Price ✅ Couldn't fault a single thing all evening.. Brilliant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Phenomenal food, not cheap but I was happy to pay for the quality. The service was impeccable, super quick and very attentive. A 3 course meal for two with 1 alcoholic/ 1 fizzy drink came to £71.45

It a different experience food was great will return ..

Absolutely buzzing on a November Saturday night, main meals still going out just before 10pm yet the service was still friendly, attentive and top notch all round. Food was beautifully cooked, so different from anything else we've had in the UK or abroad. Definitely worth visiting, just make sure you book!

You wouldn’t believe you are in little Taunton, this restaurant is a gem. You go through the door and you are teleported in one of those Portuguese distinct taverns from the streets of Porto. The atmosphere is great, Portuguese music playing in the background, busy waiters bringing all types of delicious food, small tables full of customers that seem they are enjoying themselves. The food was spot on, the skewers of various meat types are the main meal that you can build you dinner, and the “pièce de résistance” is the desert, various glorious cheesecakes. The staff were also great, always ready to serve and accommodate any request, happy and polite.

Food was delicious, second to none. Staff friendly, welcoming and attentive. Will definitely return!

Our second visit, this time to celebrate my son’s birthday. The food was amazing, excellent value and all the staff were very polite and friendly. They even put up a happy birthday banner. Thank you for the great food and a great night. The best restaurant in Taunton!

The skewer House was without a doubt absolutely amazing in every way! The food was impeccable, all the staff were welcoming and gave fantastic service! I can't wait to go again!

Had a lovely meal here this past weekend. Food was superb. Lamb was cooked to perfection, and the selection of sides and bread was utterly fantastic. Only gripe was feeling a little rushed to get through the meal and order etc as had 2 or 3 people asking if we'd like the bill. However, was overall impressed with the service and will be back !

Fantastic Maderian restaurant. Amazing food and great value for money!

Had another lovely evening here, friendly staff, drinks order came wrong but quickly rectified, no fuss and pretty laid back. Tasty food and fun to eat makes for a great and convivial evening!

Been here 6 times now, every single time they are bang on the money. My favourite restaurant

Absolutely love the food here. I travel from Plymouth which is a 2 and a half hour round trip because of this.😋

The food was amazing ! Lamb 10/10 Unfortunately the the brunette lady who is « supposed » to be in charge of the waitresses was very unpleasant as soon as we arrived. We felt almost unwelcome (we didn't have a reservation confirmation but the restaurant had at least 10 free tables so.. well..) Even worse: when serving these wonderful lambs (thanks to the chef and his team), she downright yelled at us because we did not give the places of our dishes to the nearest second (we were with 2 children so a bit of understanding wouldn't hurt...). In short, great dish but disastrous service from this brunette lady. The other young people who cleared and served us were great! courage to them ! But I don’t think the restaurant is the right work for this lady tbh ! Good luck

Great atmosphere, amazing food. And friendly staff. Great value for money too. Love the cooking of the chorizo. Desserts are really nice too.

Food is incredible staff was great we all had a lovely time x

Amazing place. No other words needed. And they made the most amazing lemon cheesecake for my birthday (pre ordered). Just wow…..

Amazing food. The staff were good.

They have the most ridiculous way to book a table. At first they don't answer the 5 emails, sent to them within the last 2 weeks! I go into the restaurant to try and book a table, they claim to not have their diary to hand to be able book one and then.... They reply to one of my emails claiming to not have received the others errrr..DOH! We won't be eating here then!

Good food and ambiance, staff were very friendly. Could do with some cushions for those with sensitive rear ends.

Fantastic evening at Skewer House. Lovely food, attentive service and a unique atmosphere. Huge number of choices available via the menu and cheese cake dessert was a real treat.

First time here despite coming to live in Taunton five years ago. Excellent food and great atmosphere inside. The meals are filling and good price for freshly cooked food. Booking recommended as it gets busy!

First time visiting here with friends. Not only is the food and atmosphere amazing but the whole evening is an experience. A skewer of halloumi over flaming ouzo was so fun! As a vegetarian there was lots on offer. The house special is a great deal and plenty of food for 2 to share! The halloumi was so nice with the roasted vegetables. The cheesecake was a huge slice and 2 of us couldn’t finish it! Will definitely return!

Fantastic all round. My first visit but my sister has been several times. Lovely atmosphere. Staff attentive. Delicious food. Sangria top notch! Thoroughly recommend. 5 stars plus from us.

Amazing food & huge portions, I recommend that you have the skewer house special & share it between 2

Took my dad and partner here with my husband for my birthday. I’ve been a few times so know the food is amazing so wanted to show my dad. Fantastic food as always the lamb is so tender and tasty. Also had a cheesecake which in the past have been a bit meh but this lemon meringue one was amazing! What I will say is perhaps we could have a bit less service? Not joking we had 4 different servers at least come and ask us how the food was. Pretty sure at one point we did have every single one working come and ask us the same thing we made a joke of it like oh who haven’t we seen think it’s just the girl with brown hair oh there she is! So yeah maybe just the one dedicated server so we don’t get harassed would’ve been good. We were there when they just opened so maybe they were a bit bored or just wanted us out quicker. We weren’t there long we had to fend them off to try and get a break between meal and cheesecake think we only managed 15 mins. But yeah if you haven’t been you absolutely must go it’s the best food in Taunton in my opinion. When everyone else seems to be lowering the quality and upping the price these guys don’t seem to be following that trend!

Stunning food, excellent service with a very helpful explanation by our Waitrose of what and how to order . Very authentic Portuguese experience here . Our 2nd time, our friends first time . Food cooked as we all liked it to medium rare to well done . We love it here

Absolutely scrumptious food and such a fun atmosphere, feels like you're abroad!

Amazing all round, stupidly good food, very friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Can't recommend it enough. The flaming Chorizo was an awesome starter.

Incredible food, great service and great authentic atmosphere. 10/10 from us!

Visited here for the first time to celebrate our wedding anniversary & we absolutely loved it, lovely outdoor area, fantastic food & great service. We will be back!

absolutely love the food and staff here, we came for my partners birthday a little while ago and they surprised us by decorating our table with a big happy birthday banner! absolutely wonderful and we cant wait to eat here again

Great food helpful staff Cheese cakes are amazing 😻

We picked this restaurant at random while staying locally simply to try a different style of food but were rewarded with delicious food served by delightful staff.

Quirky and rustic with a good atmosphere, enjoyable different to the norm dining experience with a holiday vibe, food is tasty with good variety of flavours, deserts are sweet. Service was good. Car park behind is free after 6pm.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere.

Best restaurant in town if you like meat!

Lovely food, fab service and just a great experience all round. We will definitely be back!

I was not satisfied with the indifference and sarcarsm on the part of the Portuguese employee who served us, firstly, there were 3 Brazilians and an Englishwoman, we ordered for Portuguese, my colleague asked a simple question, about the different dishes, she responded badly and said for him to ask her questions in English, I found it disrespectful and pure arrogance, not everyone speaks English very well and takes refuge in being served in an environment that speaks the same language, I considered this an attitude of mockery and racism, as was the our first time at the venue we were a little lost in the menu, she called an English attendant because she didn't want to speak Portuguese, and the attendant said, good luck with them, I speak little English but I understood the abuse very well, we will never return to this restaurant, and I will not recommend it to any Brazilian friend, simple as that

A fantastic meal, can highly recommend the beef skewer, halloumi and maize. We weren't expecting the cheesecakes to be as big as they were - amazing!

Been a number of times, always great food, but sometimes the service can vary

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Only hard bit is what to choose!

Amazing restaurant! Great value for money and fantastic food- will always be my go to restaurant in Taunton🤩

Lovely time!!!! The food was delicious!! I will definitely come back

The First thing we noticed about The Skewer House as we walked in the door was the atmosphere. Everyone looked like they were having an amazing time. It looked very lively and fun. This made us very excited for the evening. The staff were very attentive. We were seated quickly, served quickly and all requests were handled with care. The food came on giant skewers which was an amazing experience that none of our party had seen before. Everything we ate tasted tender and full of flavour. For dessert we ordered the Diam bar cheese cake. This was to die for! If you go I definitely recommend trying their cheese cakes, honestly the best cheese cake I've ever had! It was the first time my family had come all the way from Norfolk to visit me here in Taunton since I moved. We went here for our first meal and what a great start to there visit! They absolutely loved it! It make our catch up together very special with lots to talk about. Thank you to the Skewer House for a wonderful evening. We hope to visit again soon.

Food was amazing, authentic music, atmosphere was great. Decent size portions. Would definitely go back. Sangria was lovely. Service fantastic. Highly recommend.

Just been here and the food was amazing nice, the staff and kind and can have a good laugh with them, this is what I call a lovely meal out with friends or family or even on your own. Would recommend this to anyone and already have to friends and family, was a great evening.

Delicious food, meat cooked to perfection and nice atmosphere!

Our favourite place to dine! Beautiful food, great staff and best cheesecakes around! Can’t recommend it enough.

We had our meal on the 30/3/24. The first thing we commented on when arriving was the atmosphere which was welcoming and exciting. We then ordered our drinks, followed by food all within good time and were served very quickly. All the staff were friendly and warm towards their customers and very attentive to any requests. The food was incredible, we loved all of it. Everything was full of flavour and at a reasonable price. The best part for me was the dessert. The cheese cake was to die for, honestly I've been craving another one ever since! We booked with The Skewer House as a celebration after not seeing my Dad for so long and it was a brilliant atmosphere for this occasion. The experience of having food on the skewers definitely gave us something to talk about as it was something new for all of us and we love it! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Delicious food, meat cooked to perfection and nice atmosphere. I highly recommend and definitely we will go back soon.

The best restaurant in Taunton! A slice of the Mediterranean, delicious food, great drinks and just a wonderful evening experience! Highly recommend!

Been a once before for a family meal and it was such a lovely vibe and the food was amazing, definitely five stars

Was told about this place over and over by many of my colleagues at how lovely the food is. And wow were they right. First time was the Xmas party and then in the new year. Everything I've had so far had been amazing. Have had the 3 course on each occasion. I'm in the process of working my way through the menu. The staff are great and the place has a great ambience. Don't take my word for it , go try it you won't regret it. The food is LUSH 👌😁

I've visited multiple times with different friends and it's always my first thought when going out for an evening meal! The portions are great, the food tastes amazing, never had a bad experience, and the dessert options are always good. Definitely one of my favourite restaurants, highly recommend!

Food was amazing, the atmosphere was awesome. Place was packed! Desserts are out of this world! I can't wait to go back and try some more items!

Best place to eat in Taunton!! Any chance I get to go out for food it will be skewer house. The food is literally amazing and the staff are so lovely. I have been multiple times and have never been disappointed! x

Everything about the skewer house is just brilliant! Great value for money, the food is absolutely gorgeous, the staff are attentive (but not in an annoying way!), the restaurant is beautiful. I’ve already booked to come back, I’d highly recommend to everyone.. oh and their cheesecakes are to die for!!

This place is a special gem in Taunton. Amazing friendly staff, always scrumptious food and authentic ambience, feels like you are on holiday. We love it.

Amazing gem! Great food and service, love going here
