Came for the Sunday carvery after hearing good reviews.
We had booked, so after initial queue at the bar to order drinks / be sat at our table, we settled in.
Choice of 3 meats (beef, turkey and pork) which are carved for you, then it’s help yourself to a range of veggies: yorkshires, roast potatoes, dauphinois potatoes, roast parsnip, peas, carrots, cauliflower cheese, cabbage, red cabbage and stuffing. Gravy and sauces were on a table to the side. Kids get a smaller plate for the same options.
Desserts were offered at our table as our plates were cleared - I had the homemade cheesecake special (lime and elderflower) which was very light, caramel apple pie with custard and a kids chocolate cake with cream kept us all happy.
Pub lacks atmosphere, though - room layout is a little strange, but not sure if that’s just where we were sitting.
Menu for the rest of the week looked good, but I was just visiting, so not sure when I’ll get here again.

Visited the Allerford Inn at Norton Fitzwarren. Quite difficult to find but looking for Victory crossing on the railway would help as it is next door. Te carvery was hot with plenty of vegetable varieties. We had a choice of dauphinoise and roast potatoes. Roast parsnip, peas, carrots, cauliflower cheese.
We had to wait a bit for desert so service is a little slow.
Overall a good inexpensive restaurant.

Big big thank you to the Allerford team for another outstanding Christmas lunch. From the minute you walk through the door to the minute you leave, nothing is too much trouble and everyone is so friendly and helpful. To top it off the food is, as always, outstanding - we left so full we had to take the cheeseboard home with us. Again a huge thank you for a lovely day, a fantastic meal and for all of the team who gave up their Christmas Day so we could enjoy ours!

This little gem in the countryside serves an amazing carvery.

At busy periods it’s a little disorganised around the bar with ordering drinks and waiting for your table. But once you’ve moved away and settle it’s worth it.

The food is fresh out with a choice of meats and potatoes/veg.

Ideal if you don’t want to cook.

Visited here on many occasions for a Sunday carvery. Never had a bad meal, can't speak highly enough with regards to food quality.
Bonus for us is that they offer gluten free options (ie gravy and yorkshire puddings)

Went with a party of 15 prebooked. There were 3 meats on the carvery beef, turkey and pork. This was carved for you and the rest was self service. There was a good
selection of veg that included cauli cheese. The Yorkshire puds were homemade which is always a good sign. All in all a good experience. The only gripe is the bar service was slow. Would go again.

We had our wedding reception at the Allerford Inn on Saturday and it was fabulous from start to finish. Tom and his staff worked so hard to make sure everything went like clockwork. The food was amazing and very plentiful and many of our guests commented on how good it was. They even took away the cake and managed to cut it so that from the front it didn’t look as if it had been touched and guests could continue to take photos. After the reception the team packed everything away for us ready to pick up the next day.
Thank you Tom and your team for making our day so memorable.
Mr and Mrs Caswell
