Have been in search of a great carvery in the Taunton area…found it! Allerford Inn delivers great food and service, packed car park is testimony to the demand.

We found this this morning and went for the carvery. We had not booked as we did not know what time we would get there. It was busy but the really friendly staff said that as long as we would be done by 13: 30...we could have a table. We all had the carvery including my daughter who had the veg only but there was so much choice that there was plenty for her as well as us. I have to say it was the best carvery we have ever had. So much to choose and all hot and fresh. We also shared a portion of biscof cheesecake which was delicious! All the staff were helpful and friendly. The toilets were really good too!!More
Passing visit as from Oxford, rented a glamping hut nearby and went for a little drive, The food well exceeded our expectations, worth the visit for lunch /dinner.
Went for a Christmas meal with a group. The food was lovely and our server was very friendly and helpful. The gingerbread crème brûlée was really yummy!
We booked a table for a 21st birthday. On arrival, we were told where our table was and that someone would come to take our order. We waited and no one came so we went to the bar and ordered some drinks ourselves. We asked...at the bar again and were told someone would come to take our order, again, no one came. We went to the bar a third time only to be told that the menu online is not available and that it’s a reduced menu on a Sunday. After a total of 40 minutes waiting for someone to come and serve us, we’d finished the drinks we got ourselves and decided to leave in search of the local Chinese takeaway. Not sure how this place has such a high score. The service is rubbish and the atmosphere is also extremely lacking.More
First time I’ve been here for a few years and sadly I won’t be rushing to go back. Unfortunately the waiter didn’t seem to know much about the menu like what kind of pate it was and really didn’t show too much interest in his...job. The menu had some interesting options I went for the rump steak medium rare, mistake it was over cooked and very tough with lots of sinew. I should have complained but it would have meant waiting for replacement while all the rest ate theirs not what I wanted. The prices were ok if the meals had been excellent but apparently their was trouble finding the meat in the pie, the sticky beef was only ok according to the two who had that and the fish pie was a case of hunt the prawn. With regards the prawns my wife said they were tasteless and having worked in the prawn industry for over 45 years there is a good reason for this and that’s cheap prawn’s with high glaze level defrosted in water instead of naturally. Sorry for the review I don’t normally write these but felt this was just not good enough.More
Booked for a Carvery and it's the best one I have ever had. Meat was cooked to perfection as were the potatoes veg and all the trimmings. Would highly recommend as well organised and no queuing
I came with friends for Sunday lunch, the food was good and the staff were helpful and pleasant the food was good
Carvery was nice, sadly the day was spolit by some unsavoury characters who started fighting in the garden, not a great site for my young grandchildren, the owner should have sked them to leave, probably would not go back
Not are normal eating destination but am very glad we give it a go, the food was amazing! Best carvery I have ever had!! We were a little disappointed that my wife had to wait almost 30 minutes for her hot chocolate but when we...asked about it was they in a flash! These things happen unfortunately but it was soon put right! Will 100% be back!!More
Food brilliant. Staff brillant. Price brillant. My only thing i didnt like was food served on a wooden board. But it wouldn't stop me coming back. I would however ask for it to be on a plate. Best food ive had in ages
We were looking for Sunday Lunch and came across this inn. It was 14.00 on a Sunday and my partner is a diabetic and we needed to eat ASAP as he was feeling unwell with low blood sugar. I went to the bar and asked...if they were still serving lunch and I needed to know quickly due to my partners condition. We we told yes and we waited to be given a table there was no one else waiting for a table but 3 people waiting to pay. We waited 30 mins by which time my partner was starting to need to sit down finally we were given a table and told to go up to the food. We did not know where to go and when we did my partner could only get 3 slices of turkey and a few carrot sticks before he needed to sit down. I explained he had only had this to the server at the time and they saw this. When I went to pay I explained this and was still charged £13 for 3 slices of meat and a few carrot sticks . My meal was so overcooked and burnt from the carvery I left most of mine. I will not be coming back anytime soonMore
Shall we be realistic here? You waited less than 10 minutes from arrival at the pub until you sat at a table which our CCTV confirms. At the time you arrived without a booking, there were over 185 people in the pub so I feel...More
Sunday carvery has got to be one of the best around, have visited on many occasions and never disappoints. Friendly staff and an all round well run ship.
Brilliant meal. Second time I've been here and found the whole experience pleasant. The staff are friendly and helpful. I messed up my Sunday lunch booking but they still accommodated me with a table. The ham egg and chips are very tasty and we're very...generous portion. It tasted very fresh and good quality. I felt that I got really good value for money unlike some other local pubs where you feel a bit ripped off. Overall the pub is nicely decorated as well. We'll be coming back soon!More
We were booked back into the Allerford Inn for my birthday, having been there many times now and really enjoyed the food and service. On arrival, we were warmly greeted at the bar and advised where our table was, and joy of joys it was...the usual table (number 11). We sat down and it was only then that we noticed the staff had left us a welcome message and a bottle of bucks fizz on ice, what a lovely gesture. I did tell the staff that I appreciated this and that I don't drink any alcohol while driving (not even 4%) but we would take it home if they would allow and have it later. The meal was fantastic as usual, we had a lovely discussion with the chef about the various types of meat on offer (Beef, Pork and Turkey) and some good-natured banter, I do find the staff are really happy here and so easygoing. We collected the rest of the fresh veg and the Yorkshire puddings bigger than your fist and tucked in. Most delicious. We decided to go for broke on a special day and ordered a dessert, the white chocolate roulade is just amazing, light and fluffy and the raspberry sauce is quite tart. We highly recommend this. Thank you so much to everyone at the Allerford Inn, obviously, we will return (soon)More
