The best restaurants in Taunton Deane South West

We went for Sunday lunch, and had to book as the pub is very busy. The wife and I had the full Sunday roast beef meal, with a dessert. The food was extremely good, generous portions of the meat and the vegetables and gravy, all of which were washed down with a good pint of beer for me, and large glass of Merlot for my wife. Everything on my plate was delicious and well cooked. Even the vegetables were really good, the taste of each standing out from the others - which is a lot more than you can say for many pub Sunday Lunches. We had a crème brûlée and a cherry waffle for desserts and they were spot-on. The food was good value for money. The service was warm and friendly, and occasionally a little slow, but the pub was packed so I can accept that the staff were run off their feet. The pub and restaurant area where we ate was well appointed, clean and tidy.

Collected a pizza to take home, superb value and quality, the food is always top class. Wellington is so fortunate to have an Italian of this quality

My, the world needs more places like the Mango Tree. A very wide selection of totally delicious, fresh and healthy dishes, so much so that we decided to go with a tableful of starters so we could taste everything. So yummy!!! Very cool vibes and lovely staff. Will defo return whenever in Taunton.

Well this is a little find... Loves in Taunton for 30 years and never knew this place was here! Very very nice, great price.. The menu looks gorgeous and I can't wait to test it out! Only popped in whilst passing as I walked into town, so a very nice coffee and a cheeky oreo brownie! Highly recommend

We were surprised to see the community cafe still open at around 3.30pm on a Sunday, so we thought we’d give it a try. All we can say is, call in if you’re passing as the cakes are just delicious. All are home made by residents in the village who take it in turns to run the cafe. It’s so cheap as well!

We came to The house of cakes in Wellington this afternoon to meet up with friends. I had a Freddo waffle with ice cream and squirt y cream and a lemon san Pellegrino to drink. It is a very nice coffee shop with a garden out the back. We also took some cakes home. I am not keen on dogs and there was a little dog that didn’t even jump up at you. Will be back again one day.

Absolutely Fabulous! What a great place. We popped in here for Breakfast on Sunday morning and were amazed at the amount of Gluten Free choices on the menu. All of the staff are so welcoming and helpful and the food was delicious. So pleased we called in and we will be back again.

Excellent food and lovely staff. Relaxed atmosphere and need to allow plenty of time. Food freshly made by students on the premises. I had the vegan meal. My meal was roasted parsnip risotto, wild mushrooms, and a chocolate mousse. Oak or soya milk available for hot drinks.

One of the reasons we like living in Taunton. Open from 8:30am. Great coffee, amazing bread and cakes. Lunch was both wholesome and super tasty. Staff are incredibly patient and friendly

the owner of the spud shack is very obliging in that any combination of a hot potato and fillings are readily available had any a hot spud to take home for an easy lunch

lovely cafe, amazing cakes and great coffee!

We have visited this cafe a few times and it is consistently good food at a good price. The omelettes are thick, tasty and very filling and the breakfasts are lovely. Topped off with good hot drinks!

We decided quite late in the morning to go for lunch at the bistro I was a bit worried if there would be availability for us as there was seven of us but we get there at the right time and we all had a fantastic lunch some had full breakfasts some had jacket potatoes all of which was outstanding and the staff once again was amazing x
