Skylark in Taunton Deane

A young lady called Faith was very good, she was very accommodating and great fun. Although the food was very nice Faith made the evening outstanding.

2nd time we have visited and both times Faith looked after us brilliantly well…we will be eating here regularly!

Faith is a true asset to The Skylark! Fab service and great food!

Faith was an amazing server, knew exactly what we wanted, was really kind and looked after us extremely well.

Cannot fault the service we received on our last visit. We were contemplating whether to travel further to a restaurant after our Auntie spontaneously visited and was staying the travelodge next door, but we decided to make it easier and came to the Skylark. It honestly felt like we were in a well estabished expensive restaurant with the service from Faith, she was a breathe of fresh air and we all agreed she gave us the best hospitality we've had in a long time. The steak was lovely for all three of us too, came out really fresh and hot and was very tasty. Brilliant visit!

Faith served us and she was a very helpful smiley waitress.very efficient meal was good

Nice bustle restaurant. Served by two lovely young people Evelyn and Taylor. Food was tasty will definitely go there again if in Wellington

Very good service, thankyou Faith

Amazing food staff and such a relaxed place to spend with family and friends

Staff very polite and friendly.

Very helpful and attentive staff, food was excellent. Faith our waitress was fantastic.

We had a member of staff called Faith, fully reccomend, a credit to your restaurant, nothing was to much trouble for her, very friendly, helpful and all our needs were met. Lovely food.

Had a great lunch here, wonderful service and great food! Faith was lovely and gave fantastic service, highly recommend!

Charlotte was a lovely waitress with a great personality.

Faith looked after us superbly. Smiley, friendly and helpful.

Had an amazing time and was very well looked after by Faith. Nothing was ever to much trouble and I didn't see her once not smiling.

Lovely meal this evening with Mollie as our waitress! So lovely and food was good too! Definitely recommend😊✨

Taylor and Jas were fabulous :)

Good quality food Amazing atmosphere Very warm welcoming Friendly staff Overall amazing experience would defiantly recommend to anyone!

2nd visit this week and everything was just great. Food hit the spot, Peroni on draught and the delightful Evelyn was great....will stop in again without a doubt.

Let me just say, we will not be returning again.service and attitude of the person who took our order was dreadful. From the of she was so negative, telling us they had no roast dinners no steak no kebab as they had been busy that is why the tables had not been cleared. Then the food we had was not the best .And to say we had booked a table for 2pm on a Sunday when a roast is what is needed a d they do not have any ,totally unbelievable and unacceptable .

very good service good food and drinks

Service was quick, food was excellent, Guinness was poured correctly, excellent presentation and ambience was great.

Great place great staff. Deffo worth a visit!

Bright and welcoming entrance. All clean, spacious with level access. Faith was very helpful with booking a festive meal. Then showed us to a table where we enjoyed our lunch

Pleasant atmosphere. Friendly, knowledgeable, efficient staff. Good food at very reasonable price.

Excellent service, food never disappoints, always well cooked and hot.

We were part of a largish booking (8 adults & 2 children) It took nearly 20 minutes for someone to come and take our drinks order, after taking the order it was dropped in that you were out of roast beef (at 1:30 pm on a Sunday!) When someone finally arrived to take our food order the waitress had no idea what was included on the children's roast dinner or even the adult roast dinner. 5 minutes later the waitress was back to say that there was no Gammon after 2 people had ordered it. When the food finally came only 9 of the 10 meals were delivered and the quality of the food was terrible - uncooked Peas, stuffing balls that were like little blocks of concrete and the worst roast potatoes i have ever tasted. We were given a discount on the food as a result of this, but we will not be back!

Curry was luke warm rice was same nam bread was cold and dry had a job to pull it apart let alone trying to chew it won't be going back and wouldn't recommend

Sat down after booking only to be told the roast was off the menu. The waitress said, its been busy as you can tell by all the tables not cleared, nice! Food we did have was mediocre to say the least. Won't be returning

Excellent food, service and cosy atmosphere! Highly recommend, close to the m5!

Recently been to skylark wellington, emma was fantastic, big up to emma

Lovely place for food and drink, Sophie was very welcoming and and fulfilled all our needs.

Fantastic quick service, very friendly staff - had a great chat with Mollie, Emma and Sophie. Will be staying here for work for the next few months so will be very happy to continue to come here.

Lunched there several times with friends and/or family. Never been disappointed.

Amazing Service, all staff we spoke to was helpful and the food was gorgeous I had the cowboy burger and my fiancé had the spicy burger

We had had a long day and just needed some nice food. Booking a time on-line was easy, turned up and the staff were very cheery and helpful. Drinks and meal were perfect and it didn't cost an arm and a leg either. Even thought the place was busy, it didn't feel crowded and we were not kept waiting at all and it wasn't too noisy (which is something we really don't like when we want to relax and eat!) It was just what we wanted at the time. Ideal.

Daughter said it was lovely! She had steak 🤤

The colleagues are efficient and friendly. The service was good although the pub was very busy. All in all a great experience.

Lovely pub/restaurant . Good food at a very reasonable price

Very good service and enjoyed my meal. Had the curry and a pint for £11.25 which is very good value. Some of the beers weren't available which was a bit disappointing so had to have a second choice.

Amazing service, brillient food, affordable, not too loud, nice breaze through window, absoulty no complaints

Faith served us and was very lovely and helpful :)

Lovely steak meal, with chips slightly crispy the way we love them .

WE ENJOYED A FANTASTIC MEAL AT THE SKYLARK. MY WIFE HAD STEAK & ALE PIE AND I HAD A MEDIUM-RARE SIRLOIN STEAK. IT WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD! PLEASE DON'T TELL ANYONE, BUT WE ALSO HAD DESSERT WHICH WAS DELICIOUS TOO. WE SHALL BE RETURNING AGAIN SOON. EXCELLENT STAFF ATTENTION TOO.

We had a lovely meal,Evelyn was very kind and helpfull thanks for the great time

good service good food prices ,drink prices on the expensive side

As a large group of good friends, we frequent the skylark in Wellington, Somerset a lot to celebrate each others birthdays especially. Tonight a group of 12 of us went there to celebrate my birthday and the service we received from Emily was exceptional! She was very attentive, friendly and passionate about making our evening out an enjoyable time and nothing was too much trouble. Emily, you are a credit to the Skylark. Well done and see you again soon

Faith was an exceptional server in Wellington.

Just a nice place, with a pleasant atmosphere and good pub food. Special mention to Faith who undoubtedly helped create all of the above.

Great place to come for food or even just to have a drink with friends. Staff are friendly. Will defo come again.

Food was very much as expected for the price and we have no complaints. Good value for money. What really stood out for us was the friendliness and genuine warmth of our server, Faith. She’s an absolute star and worth way more than she’s paid. Outstanding.

Staff are always really attentive and always go out there way to make it the best experience. Food was hot and plenty of! Will be back again soon 😊

Had a very nice time at the skylark tonight, food was delicious, people working were very talkative and very nice, so overall was a fantastic experience.

Very slow service but handy place and easy to find. Food passable.

As allways good food good atmosphere and fantastic staff thank you Evelyn

Thank you for another great round of meals at the Skylark together with super service from Evelyn who organised all our drinks, food, condiments and cutlery perfectly.

Good food and even better service.

I can't think of anything you guys need to improve on. I've been visiting Skylark for 10+ years and the service has always been top notch. Great value for money too.

Lovely atmosphere very efficient waitress, food served on hot plates and cooked as asked. Did not feel rushed even though more tables were filling.

Very fast service and the food was great.

Much improved than when we visited about 4 years ago. Couldn’t find fault with anything, the food service and restaurant was excellent.

Outstanding service. Every member of staff never stopped so, even though it was very busy, the food was served very quickly. Particular thanks to Keeley, Jas and Amy - great staff that any company would be delighted to have. Thank you

Updated review. Food was lovely, gammon was nice and crispy as ordered. Keely our waitress was lovely and friendly. In fact the whole bar staff were lovely. A huge improvement since my last review. Well done. Food here is so hit and miss. On one night the food can be great but another night it's awful. They really do seem to struggle with the definition of crispy bacon or gammon. I don't know if this is the waiting staff not passing correct instructions on how customers wants their food cooked or if its the chefs that are the problem.

10/10 the food was amazing. Waitress are really friendly nice and quiet good place to go for a chat lunch or dinner. Food comes quick. Recommend

Very hard working staff! Jasmine is very helpful!

Really clean and tidy, staff was friendly. Atmosphere was really good, the food was amazing. Would definitely come again.

First time we visited , everything was perfect, cleanliness , staff and lovely a atmosphere

The staff are really lovely and very helpful, service was quick and efficient. However, the food was overpriced and not worth it. My chicken was dry and crunchy, the desert was cold and congealed, the ice cream was crunchy? Again really polite and friendly staff but the food was not great. The next day I felt awful. I won’t be coming back anytime soon

Really.lovely atmosphere and service

Served by Evelyn and Amy, lovely girls so polite and attentive. Overall a great service!

Absolutely amazing service, Evelyn and Amy were great hosts and made us all feel very welcome! The food we had was excellently presented and we didn't wait very long!! Would definitely recommend this pub to all my friends and family! For a Chain pub it felt more like a family run pub!!

evelyn servered me great service deserves a raise

AMAZING Food! So Sad That I Had To Wait NEARLY AN HOUR! Servers Were Lovely Just A Shame It Took So Long!

An extremely poor experience almost from beginning to a long end. Booked on line for 18.30 by clicking the " Book Here" button in the pet friendly section of the website. Then told on arrival table for 6 was not reserved in the pet friendly area. So family could not sit next to each other having not met together for 8 months. Ordered food at 18.45. Just one poor young lad doing a great job running around delivering orders as fast as he could. But our food was not served for 70min. Steaks had been dried out under a heat lamp I guess and were not Rare or Medium. Then had to wait 5 minutes for cutlery to be bought to table. Service of 4 cold sweets was not much better. That took a further 20 minutes to arrive from placing the order. Staff overall were cheery, but ridiculously understaffed. Tables cleaned but sticky surfaces. Overall very poor experience.

Long wait for overpriced inedible food

We had a meal after my Dad's funeral and the service was impecable! Honestly Amy couldn't have done enough for us and was so attentive. Thank-you so much to Amy and the rest of the team for making a hard day that little bit easier xx

Absolutely disappointed beyond belief . As a lone female hotel occupant next to the pub , I was refused a table . They were busy but lots of space was available including in the bar where others were already eating. It was only just after 7 and I was prepared to wait the hour quoted for food , but still refused. I was told I could stay for a drink. ! Went back to my hotel and had biscuits for dinner as I didn't feel comfortable going elsewhere alone at night . Terrible customer service. I stay at the hotel frequently and have eaten here several times but no more .

Been very happy the few times we have been

I stay in a lot of travelodge hotels, the skylark next door was amazing. Fantastic staff, beautiful food (£12.99) for steak and chips. Lovely atmosphere. Definitely going to recommend to my boss I stay here more. Loved the place. I'm sorry but need to update this from just a week or so. It was like walking into a completely different pub. The service and food was shocking. I asked for medium rare on my steak....it was still alive and walking. When I was asked about it and I told the barmaid she just giggled at me. I right alot of reviews and I'm always 100% honest. Tonight was shocking.

Lovely meal, wonderful Service by Charlotte , med wine(would have like a Norman size glass for it)

Great experience for the first time at Skylark! Especially thanks to Faith who served us and was super friendly and smiley. 10/10 would recommend

Staff were welcoming and efficient. Short wait for food which we were made aware of as soon as we entered, due to a larger party already seated. Jasmine and Amy were great excellent service!

Great food, served by keeley who was polite and an excellent host

Amy, Keeley, Emily, Faith, Jasmine are amazing!! Always a smile on there face

Good food & kids friendly. Staff always helpful.

Good food, been a few times recently - staff managed well with large table (family birthday).

Really lovely impromptu meal and catch up with friends. Thank you Charlotte for prompt and helpful table service. Service with a smile.

Tuesday evening a meal for 2 Both are pescatarians. My wife had pasta and I had the veggie pie with mash and peas. The meals were great and good value. The service from AMY as usual was so friendly and attentive, making it a lovely evening Thank you 🙏

Charlotte was lovely and very attentive. The food was overdone and took a long time to arrive.

Keeley was amazing today she made sure we had everything we needed when she delivered my food to me this evening I will definitely be making another visit shortly

Wonderful food ,service and staff

Visit quite regular. Good, basic bar meals, which cannot be beaten locally for value for money !! Food 10/10 Drinks 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Space between tables 20/10 !! Lovely place to relax, eat, drink and enjoy 😊

Kaye was unbelievable as usual. The finest service known to man!

Excellent food and service as always. Staff are attentive and its also good value.

Excellent food great service and nice atmosphere. Go here regularly and have never been disappointed. Had the kebab this time which was a first and it was out of this world!

2 childrens puddings took a while to come out, had to ask twice and it was only ice cream. Otherwise the food was lovely

We popped in after a birthday treat at Flip out, not expecting too much, it's a lot like a Wetherspoons. We were greeted well and shown to our table. Our server came and took our order, 2 adult curries, 1 kids curry, and a kids sausage and mash. After just over 30 minutes, our food arrived. The sausage and mash was missing the gravy, so we asked for that and then noticed the kids' curry was missing the poppadom and asked for that. The server came back with the poppadom held in her hand! When we questioned why it wasn't brought out on a plate her reply was "so you want it on a plate", well yes not held between your grubby fingers when my daughter has to eat it. We then asked to speak to the manager as her attitude was less than helpful, where she huffed, rolled her eyes, and walked off. The manager came back promptly, and when we explained, she was very apologetic, said it shouldn't have happened, and that she has had to speak to a server about this before. She offered us dessert on the house but we didn't have any. Overall the food was OK, the atmosphere was good, can't fault the manager but the service needs a lot of work.

Great pub style atmosphere /staff friendly / Even though there were menu items not available (awaiting a delivery) there is still so much to choose from the menu. Areas clean /dogs friendly ( not sure if restrictions bar /restaurant etc ) Spacious feeling and lots choice of where to sit. Food hot and palatable

Loved this place. Especially Evelyn. She made me feel welcome immediately and looked after me as if I was her only customer. The best thing was she was extremely busy, didn't stop, and it looked like she was making everyone else feel as valued as I did. Fabulous lady, excellent team member and a credit to your business...give her a promotion!!
