The best restaurants serving British food in Taunton Deane South West

We booked this as a two night B&B stop over through a gift voucher company. Arrived on the Saturday and the chap seemed genuinely shocked we were there. No welcome pack, no greeting. Room was okay, but noted dirty clothes from previous occupants behind furniture, dusty and no working tv. Drinks were heavily priced. Will say, our food was awesome and the young lady working on the Saturday was excellent. Got back from our travels Sunday about 7pm and the place was closed up, no bar for a drink or snacks. But it got worse as we were the only people in the building overnight and in to BH Monday morning. No one around for breakfast (which was prepaid), no staff (even went for a walk through to the kitchen), no answer on the phone - so just left our room key behind and packed the car. So much potential as the setting is lovely, but this non presence on a Bank Holiday weekend is simply nuts! No response since, despite two emails and we didn’t even get what we paid for.

Came here for Mother’s Day. Was really good food and great service! Mum loved it! Haven’t been here for a while but wasn’t disappointed. Recommend giving this place a visit. Thank you so much!

Service is the keystone here and throughout the group’s pubs. Food good, environment good, need a better traditional cider along with Thatchers and Devon Red, as well made as they are. Prices a tad high. 4 pounds for a smallish bowl of chips too much. Overall good though and staff deliver fine service in a really well maintained building.

A celebration meal with friends. The food was wonderful and the service was first rate too. It was a friends birthday and we left feeling like we had a truly special evening. Would recommend this place to anyone

Great fish & chips and very friendly staff.

Deborah, Jeremy and the whole Oggy Oggy team go above and beyond what you would expect from a pasty shop. When we are in Taunton, we always stop of at Oggy Oggy for a delicious pasty; the staff are so friendly and their baking is divine. Their giant steak pasty had been officially rated best in the world, by my ten year old daughter. Since lockdown, Deborah and Jeremy have been delivering fresh baked and frozen pasties far and wide....thinking this would be a fabulous surprise for my daughter's birthday, we gave them a call. They did not disappoint. A mixture of fresh baked and frozen pasties delivered to our door at lunchtime? That is what dreams are made of and was an amazing surprise for my little princess, who was absolutely overjoyed. A massive thank you to you all, for keeping on going, even now.

Love this place, having stayed twice before. The food and service is outstanding. Very welcoming staff to us and our dog. We stayed in room 5 which is a huge room and very well appointed. Highly recommended.

Really rude barmaid no pleases or thankyous, she really let down an otherwise nice pub. I won’t be going back what’s the point if the staff clearly don’t want you there, shame.

Came here for the first time today and while the food is very expensive for the portion size(it was child size at best ) it was nice. We came on a Sunday and they do have a limited menu so if you are a fussy eater like me and don’t want a roast I wouldn’t reccomend coming on a Sunday I think it was £16 we paid for just one small roast I personally won’t be back I mean I don’t know what they portion sizes would be like during the week but I don’t think i would risk it.

Rude, grumpy staff completely ignored us at till for ages until a rude response that menu was not ready for lunch, however, we were just there for cake and coffee. Decided wasn’t worth it as selection was dire and just went to Blackdown instead for homemade cake and lovely staff - only 100 yards down the road. Don’t waste your time.

Travelled up from Cornwall with the family for my son's 22 birthday as their Sunday lunches are fabulous! Excellent window table, thank you! Attentive and professional happy staff. Carvery was fresh well cooked hot and the vegetarian option was delicious! The desert trolley was fabulous! Super selection that suited all the family! Was a super enjoyable experience and no negatives! That's why we travel for the experience! Thank you!

Having met friends for a walk at Fyne Court we decided to call in for some lunch afterwards. What a little gem! Beautiful pub, clean and well presented. Cheerful helpful staff, good menu which catered for our Vegan and Gluten free friends. We would definitely visit again

Ordered a home delivery. Overdone fish , cold chips and the smallest pot of mushy peas I’ve ever had . Shocking considering it cost £24 for very poor food .

Came today and booked a table for 1pm. We sat down and had to ask for some menus. Once the menus were delivered we had to wait 20 minutes for someone to take our order. Drinks were delivered quickly and the Cider with Raspberry (sparkling) was lovely. We then were waiting for our food and it had got to 55 minutes so I asked when our food was coming. We were told that she would check and let us know. She came back and said it was being dished up. The way she told us makes us think our order had been forgotten about especially as two tables that came in after us were served their food before us. The food that came wasnt overly great. Potatoes were solid, Yorkshire puddings were stale and tough to eat. The meat was good. However, the price that was paid was over priced for what was served. I dont recommend going here unless you dont mind a long wait for not the best Sunday roast.

FABULOUS AS ALWAYS. Rumwells always offer super food and a lovely ambiance. Staff are always happy to help and I give this place 5 stars... every time. I fully recommend
