The Tea Room at Bath Place in Taunton Deane

Proper oldschool 'greasy spoon', cheap, cheerful and staff are very friendly. Cleanest greasy spoon cafe I've ever been to. Granted it's not fine dining however the food's good -- my only suggestion is I wish they'd butter the burger buns. Rapid service too, food came piping hot within 10 mins of ordering. Going in here is like stepping back in time, the sort of place your Nan would take you as a kid. 10/10 Edit: I went for the half pounder burger meal but didn't want side salad, so the waitress asked if I wanted beans in lieu free of charge, you don't get service this good in Mcdonalds Edit #2: Gutted to hear that this place closes permanently tomorrow 20/12/24 after 40 years. Taunton will lose an icon and I wish the staff the best of luck and the owners a very happy retirement.

Great choice. Helpful, friendly staff. Pies to die for. Delicious quiche.

We went for tapas but were seduced by the main menu and weren’t disappointed. The game terrine with apricot chutney was perfectly balanced. The beef bourginon marinated in red wine for three days was perfect. My husband thought the haddock fish cakes were excellent and he loved the Mediterranean cod with samphire (advertised as wilted greens!) was to die for. We both enjoyed our desserts and our decaf coffees with a great selection of whiskeys and liqueurs. We have loved this restaurant since it opened and it goes from strength to strength. We are now looking forward to the new tapas menu which will include some Japanese influences.

My Grandson had a lovely time playing here , and we had a lovely hot chocolate too 😍

On my walk home I discovered The Coffee Station. It's a relaxed, comfortable pastiche of an old railway station. Staff were friendly and cakes amazing. A great find on my way home.
