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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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!

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!

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

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.

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!
