The New Mill in Taunton Deane

Great place, great food, great staff. Went for a big family get together pre Christmas and we all really enjoyed it. As we were a big group we were asked to pre order our food, most of us went for one of the roasts but not all of us so it was nice to have 'normal' menu options available as well as roasts. The service was excellent, we were offered sauces without having to ask and before and throughout the meal we were asked if we wanted more drinks. We were looked after by Ellie who was really helpful and efficient, she dealt with our various requests with a smile. The food was also really, I had a veg wellington roast that was lovely, roast potatoes were great, as was the Yorkshire and the veg, my other half had the trio of meat roast which he said was very good but he felt the beef was a bit bland, some of our group ordered the side order of cauliflower cheese and really enjoyed it. As a group we found we had the right amount of veg, but not enough gravy, however we asked for more gravy and were brought extra any without any questions. Some of us had puddings, it was great to have the mini pudding option with a hot drink too. Our only criticism of the puddings were those that were having custard had a very small amount and would have liked more but after asking for extra gravy we felt a bit too cheeky to ask for extra custard too. Toilets were nice and clean. Decor of the pub attractive and a good mix between traditional and contemporary. Summary highly recommended and Ellie was wonderful.

Love it here! Plenty of yummy food, lovely service and great decor. Worth a visit, we go back frequently.

Served by Lily, fantastic service, food arrived quickly and tasted great

"Had the festive menu this evening, and the pork belly was absolutely amazing! Lily provided exceptional service, ensuring everything was perfect with our meal and that any allergies were properly addressed. Incredible food and attentive service—will definitely return!"

Ellie our waitress was so warm and welcoming, she really looked after us. Such a lovely pub with great food and lovely atmosphere! Gorgia was also brilliant

Top service from barman Brad best bartender going and excellent service from izzy who was there for our every request big shout out to the rest of the team in general loved it

Lovely pub , really good visit great location and show sky sports too , bar service is excellent ! Looking forward to coming in for the Liverpool game today !

Izzy was absolutely lovely and very attentive during the course of our meal! Food was amazing, service was quick and we always love it here!

Absolutely delicious food, service is top notch

Stunning venue, top food and service. Highly recommend 10/10

Visited for the first time today and we have already decided will be back again. The food was delicious, restaurant clean and our servers Lily & Ellie were lovely.

Lily was so friendly and lovely. Would visit again!

Brilliant experience, had Amelia service both me and my parents for the evening and done a great job. Up beat and really polite, the food was great and have no problems or complaints. Appreciate the great food and service!

I had the lamb, absolutely fantastic. Lily who served us was extremely polite and made us very welcome

Fab lunch today at the Bathpool Inn, which has recently been refurbished to a very high standard. Delicious food and great service.

Ellie is absolutely ace - Was so so patient and accommodating of my grandmothers hard hearing and additional requirements. Would 100% recommend visiting such a lovely lil refurb <33

Lovely staff, a nice atmosphere and a cosy meal for two was enough to have a nice evening. The restaurant was so clean and had great touches around the place. The food was great portioned as having a 3 meals course was enough to fill me up with happiness as the food was delicious. Our waitress for the evening was so friendly and had such a welcoming aura, she was a gem! Also they have charity donations which was great aswell! Overall it was a great experience. Thank you for the great evening and will be back soon!

Coffee only at a very quiet time. Everything was better than satisfaction.

Came in for drinks The fire was on which made it feel very homely, all the staff were welcoming. We’ll be back soon Thank you Nick and the team

Lovely atmosphere food wasn't great for the price our server Amelia was a great host very polite and a lovely smile

Very nice Sunday lunch and good portion sizes. Cosy pub and good service. Dog friendly which is a bonus so will bring the dog with us next time.

Had 2 very tasty steak dinnners, just called in without booking which was nice,great service. Lily was lovely. Will Come again!

Lovely meal, Good quality food, excellent service, a good atmosphere. And very helpful knowledgeable waiting staff.

Dinner with friends , Called in from a day out with friends. What a lovely pub with a warm cosy atmosphere. Felt welcomed from the start by Nick. Ellie was our waitress for the evening she was very prompt and we were all impressed with her efficiency to detail and lovely smile. Lot's of choice on menu and very well cooked. Lovely evening will happily dine here again.

Really lovely place, great food and friendly Staff

Food wasn’t great but the service from our waitress Amelia was fantastic. She was so attentive and polite

Disappointed with portion size of food. Our waitress Millie was very welcoming and polite. Nothing was too much trouble for her

Our experience at The Bathpool inn was lovely! We couldn’t have got better service from our waitress Ameila! The food was great and a good atmosphere!

Really great team, the staff are clearly passionate about delivery a high standard to their customers.

Lovely food and attentive staff.

Enjoyed a lovely meal. Amelia was particularly helpful and so friendly. We will be back, thank you. 🙏

Lovely atmosphere and brilliant food - we arrived in the middle of what seemed a huge rush period but were treated well and didn't have to wait long. Our server Daisy was kind and sorted everything out brilliantly. Top notch, will come again (the cloudy lemonade was intense!).

Personally I didn't like the Sunday roast. I had the trio (beef, pork belly and turkey) and only the turkey was ok. Roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese (extra £5 for that) with no flavour at all. And £9 for a frozen crumble that is a completely rip off. Expensive for what you get. The service was good though but a bit slow.

Amelia and Izzy were both very welcoming, chatty and attentive. Great staff

Out standing service and the food was out this world

Popped in for a few beers but at £5.05 for one bottle of Corona beer ( 330ml) then just the one it was, of course I understand there needs to be mark up for profit but there is a balance between a fair profit margin & getting absolutely ripped off, false economy as if the pricing had be reasonable then would have stayed for further drinks & possibly a meal but decided to go elsewhere.

Group of 14 of us. Had a great time. Food was great as was the service from Ellie. Highly recommended.

Lovely food and great service. will eat here again.

Amazing place, food was amazing and so was the service. Would recommend

The food was delicious and the service was friendly, efficient and un-intrusive

Nice place, good food and dog friendly.

Fantastic pub dinner, excellent Guinness and steak. Ellie was great - would love to come back.

nothing different to any other chain of pub

The food was amazing, staff were friendly and cleared the tables once finished which I like as nothing worse than sitting with dirty plates. We were coming for the full menu but short staffed so only Sunday Roast available but well worth it!

Went in for a pint to join colleagues on a leaving drink celebration which was pre organised. The person the served me didn't look like they wanted to be there at all. Can understand maybe a bit stressful but maybe try to be appreciative of the business.

Our server Amelia was lovely, very attentive and looked after us well. Food was excellent, steak cooked perfectly and skewers 😋 Very local to us, so will definitely be back, thank you. My only slight negative is that we were given a return visit voucher which ran out yesterday. Nonetheless we will be back, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal, excellent service and quiet atmosphere 😊

Ellie & Edward are exceptional… being a chef trying to find from of house staff is very difficult and these 2 are sorts hard to find. As for the kitchen there is a serious team in there to clearly, as the attention to detail is fab . Great night xxx

I popped into for a pint. I realised I urgently needed an important document printed. Ellie (behind the bar) was very helpful. She could not have been more accommodating. Very much appreciated. Thank you!!

A really busy pub. Restaurant. Very well managed

Great atmosphere, busy & buzzing.

Really nice looking pub/restaurant really cosy! Staff were really welcoming very friendly. I think food is the biggest issue. Food is at a very mid standard but charging absolutely extortionate paid £18 for a few chips and and 6 seasoned bite sized chicken chunks on a skewer no veggies on the skewer either nothing special about it I think they are trying to be more like fine dining without putting the effort in. However I do not blame staff for this as to my understanding it’s a chain so the people on the computers run the company and decides what goes into the food! I think a few changes this could be an amazing place to eat but in my opinion super over priced compared to what you get. Also mango in a side salad is very very weird didn’t like that personally. Made the side salad very slimy. Burgers that came out looked amazing however they didn’t have any left unfortunately:( just my experience… however I’ve hear the roasts are really good there.

Lovely country style pub, great beer garden and the staff are friendly and helpful. Didn't have a meal on this occasion.

Been out shopping and decided to pop in on the off chance as didn't know what times the food were served. Food was very good!! Ordered the signature burger and I wasn't disappointed, proper burger! Also the lamb skewer was ordered on our table and the lamb was to die for so full of flavour and tender. Waitress and bar staff were lovely. Will definitely be back again. Shame I didn't have my phone to include photos.

Good food, great service (thanks Ellie) and nice drinks. Only 4* as the price have increased significantly recently.

Called in for a quick lunch, the food and service was excellent very friendly staff we will certainly go there again

Superb. Staff are friendly and helpful, food was hot and very nice. Can’t complain and will be back next time we are in the area.

I am hard to please and usually always find fault but no complaints here all round !

First time back for Sunday Lunch since it was the New Mill, rather disappointing, service was very slow and the Trio Roast was barely warm. Not sure how the potatoes are roasted, but we're soft and collapsed when cut. Had to ask three times for the desert menu. Apple and Blackberry Crumble was excellent.

Very friendly pub, Brad served us some fantastic espresso martinis. Highly recommended.

Nice pub for cheap and cheerful food

Had fish and chips, really nice. Plenty, couldn't eat all of my meal.

Have to say our visit on a Saturday around 15:00 was very underwhelming. Service was incredibly slow which was surprising as the restaurant wasn't very busy and the beef brisket sandwich, whilst it tasted good was tiny, the bread was so thin. It's a lovely looking Inn but unfortunately, not one I'll be returning to in a rush.

Izzy was a good server, polite and quick, thanks :)

Lovely place,lovely food,very busy and the staff were very good.My only criticism i would have,is the menu is quite limited.

The Sunday lunch was amazing as was our waitress. It was probably the best Sunday roast we haveever had and our 17 year old said his burger meal was the same.

Great experience..the server (sorry cant remember name) was superb, funny and efficient. The food was great and we enjoyed our night

Went with mum and dad food was very nice and the staff very friendly and welcoming. Very clean and warm pub.

Lovely visit to the Bathpool with friends and family the food is top notch with great staff and ambience.

It was my birthday, my husband asked for a rose , it was there and a birthday card from you. The service was excellent as was Grace and Michella who looked after us, and then desert candles and written In Chocolate Happy Birthday and they sang+ a bottle of Prosecco what more could a girl ask for. Fantastic evening.

The service from the table waiter was excellent. The main course was very good. The 40minute wait for dessert was ridiculous . It was ice cream! The dessert- honeycomb dome £9.50, sounded amazing on the menu. What was served was thoroughly underwhelming and not worth £9.50. The pavlova didn’t fair much better with a near inedible meringue base. The most disappointing thing was when heading to the toilets, I heard the waitress asked very politely in the kitchen , with the door open, how long desserts would be, the way the chef spoke to her was disgraceful, his food wasn’t at Gordon Ramsey levels and he certainly doesn’t have the right to speak to the staff like Ramsey does, we all know that is just for TV. It is no wonder they are short staffed in there.

Ordered something different from what was brought to me but the changed it immediately

lovely food served by lovely polite staff highly recommend

Our waitress was in need of some customer service training, her whole attitude was that of someone who didn't want to be there and wished all the customers would just hurry up and leave. The food was dreadful, I ate very little of my meal and when I mentioned that it was less than lovely, the waitress asked me to 'explain exactly what was wrong with it'! Will not be returning.

Beautiful pub, had a delicious meal in the garden and the staff couldn't have done more! Thank you 😁

The food was very tasty, staff very friendly and the garden is lovely. Its difficult to find a pub that serves food other than a roast on a Sunday so was great to be able to order some small plates Highly recommend

Living locally have been a regular visitor over the years and was excited to try it after the refit. It looks great and has a good atmosphere, seated quickly with a great menu selection. Everything was going well up until the food arrived when it was presented to the table with no ask of whether we wanted sauces or anything else. We waited a minute or 2 as an item we had requested when ordering also hadn’t arrived but no one came back. We watched as group of 5 staff members stood around the bar area having a meeting which dispersed when I inconvenienced them by asking for some sauces. The food was great and I would highly recommend it but they are missing the finishing touches on service when delivering the food and not saying goodbye which is a shame. This place has the potential to be brilliant once they start focusing on the customer.

Great place for a couple of drinks. Staff were friendly and beer was served well

Large party on an afternoon. Lovely venue, spotless and quiet. All food was pre ordered as per the request however upon arriving we were told we were given the wrong menu choices and therefor several options now weren't available. Made it unnecessarily clunky and then impacted the times at which all the food came out - some had finished while others were still waiting. That said the food was lovely and the staff who served us were great - just the pre ordering and timing timing that let it down a little.

Really delicious food and lovely wait staff. Felt very welcome and ate far too much!!!

The pork belly was 10/10. Ellie was extremely polite and very attentive. The venue was very clean also. I would come back

Really friendly staff. Ellie was great 😊 the food was amazing. We will definitely be back !! Pudding next time !!!!!!!!!

The two girls who were working were great. They were trying their hardest to keep up with the flow of people coming in. There was a lot of customers and clearly not enough staff. It was a shame the chap who was working was more interested in completing admin and rotas than serving people. The food was good

Just popped in for a meal. Lovely, clean stylish decor. Food was divine - we only had bar snacks but they were delicious and obviously great quality.

We visited the Bathpool Inn for a family birthday meal, not only did we have a lovely meal but we were served by Ellie who was extremely attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, friendly and just an absolute star from start to finish! Thank you Ellie for making our evening perfect!

We had a lovely starter and main. Very tasty and fresh. Gluten free options, waitress was very helpful explaining what was gluten free. Ellie was really friendly and helpful serving us.

Great service. Ellie was fab and deserves a medal for her patience! The whole experience was friendly and we felt like we mattered.

Wonderful experience,food was excellent so good bought Chef a drink, brilliant service by Lucy. Overall 10 out of 10. See you again soon,Denis

Good customer service and very professional.

Skewers were lovely & good variety of drinks . A little expensive but service was good & food very fresh & hot . Lamb skewer was a little chewy but the prawn ones were fantastic !

Amelia served us. Very pleasant, efficicient and helpful

Bar staff are lovely. Very lovely.

A lovely evening meal with great staff and food! Thank you for Ellie too for being our waitress!👍🏼

Fabulous steak dinner. Faultless cooking. Congratulations to the kitchen. Sadly, front of staff less on the ball. Ordered wine and water, but only wine arrived. Had to chase up the water when the dinner arrived. The FOH staff were having a nice chat between themselves which probably explained the lapse.

We had Sunday lunch to celebrate my Mother's Birthday. Although the pub internally looks great post refit, we were not impressed with the staff or the food. I did not make a scene as it was my Mums Birthday. A number of customers were not happy about certain things, the waiting staff were rude and derogatory within ear shot of customers. Excessively long waiting time for food to arrive, when it did, it was average at best. The food is over priced for what it is, we likely won't return. A shame, as we were hoping for better.

Recently refreshed. Bit disappointed with the ordering of meals from the bar. Preferred the previous table wait system. Too many people queuing at the bar to order drinks and meals.

Just a walk in, but was made very welcome, no problem getting a table and all staff were excellent, very personable. Decor was lovely and fresh, food outstanding we will be going again. Highly recommended.

Lovely and tasty salads And -as always- fantastic coffee ☕

Great vegan options (marked in VE on menu) mains and starters and vegan dessert available too. Really good quality and well thought out, not just veggie options thrown in there. Lovely big garden with seating that’s out in the sun and options in the shade that are more secluded and private. Bar and restaurant are clean and staff are nice and attentive. Bathrooms are clean and tidy, lots of different seating options available too.

Very impressed, Relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We had the Salads and added side dishes - flat breads, chorizo and fish. Looked and tasted good. Certain to return

Delicious food, friendly staff, 👍😁
