This Carvery must be rated as excellent. The service was fantastic. The variety of vegetables the hole Carvery was exceptional. Husband said it the best Carvery he was every had. The be able to not only serve our party but all the rest of the restaurant and keep everyone well stocked. The chefs and the staff were very much organised. Would highly recommend this place to anyone. The desserts being homemade wow. The portions were amazing. Wish I had taken photos since they were delicious also so I could show others.

Lost our booking and carvery was cold and hardly anything left so ordered off main menu was a good meal after we ordered a coffee and staff seemed to have harvested the coffee beans them selves as desserts came out and we're eaten before one cup of coffee did maybe next time they can get things right

Staff are always polite and attentive. Never had cause for complaint

My family and I were staying nearby for my birthday but did not want to cook Sunday lunch we looked on trip advisor for suggestions and found the Allerford Inn. We pulled into the large car park and saw there were a lot of cars already there - which would usually mean a good place.Due to having both a vegetarian and a gluten free/nut free member of the group I had contacted the Inn to enquire if these could all be catered for. Vegetarian option of nut roast caused some concern due to our nut free requirement but a quick response from Hazel reassured me that anything with nuts is kept away from other items meant that all of us would be able to eat there. On arrival once seated, we went up to the carvery where we could choose two out of the three meats on offer. All the cuts were lean and beautifully tender. The selection of vegetables was vast and the Yorkshire puddings delicious. My gluten free friend identified herself and was handed a jug with gluten free gravy. She felt the service received was excellent. Everyone in my party thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would certainly go back. We did have to wait a short while but well worth the wait. My only negative would be that the accompaniments be labelled. My daughter mistook the horseradish for bread sauce. But the staff quickly offered her the choice of another meal which was appreciated.

Food was lovely but service let them down. Not enough staff to cater for amount of people attending a carvery.

The carvery is very good and great value. The home made cheesecake is the best! The Pub caters for parties of all sizes with ease (I was in a party of 20) with plenty of choice at the carvery and from the menu. The children's good is a good size and will satisfy the hungriest of children. All in an excellent pub for food and drink.

Would definitely recommend the carvery. Really good selection of meats and veg. My only negative was that service was slow taking our plates after the meal and bringing the puddings. But the pudding was also lovely

Had a birthday lunch today with my wife, son, daughter in law, and 5 year old granddaughter and have to say the whole experience was an absolute delight, The staff were very pleasant and obligating The choice of food was great plus the taste and quantity was amazing we all somehow even managed to save a little space for a sweet and my god we were so glad we did they were fantastic i don't think i will eat anything for next 24 hours as i am so full. The Alleford really is a gem in the Taunton Deane area and i have no hesitation in recommending the eating experience here to everybody

Just visited the Allerford Inn for their Sunday Carvery and I can only state I have no plans to eat for a week now. The food was excellent and the Chocolate Sundae was 1 million calories in a glass. I suspect I am going to be hyper for weeks now, LOL. My only criticism was that even with the plates put on a tray they were cold and therefore the Carvery went cold by the end.

First visit to Sunday Carvery after eating midweek. Booking online very simple and good confirmations sent. Staff welcoming and very efficient. Superb carvery, generous meat portions and good range of vegetables. Lots of competition on Sundays but this is definitely one to go for
