The Allerford Inn
Latest Reviews
I've written before about how good the Allerford is and we went there for Christmas lunch today and were bowled over by the experience.
From being greeted at the door by Tom and the front of house team with Buck's Fizz and canapés, through starters (just the right size); an awesome carvery; dessert and cheese board, all of the food was up to their usual very high standard and, frankly, faultless which is no mean achievement for their kitchen brigade on Christmas Day.
And, above all, we were served by their happy, kind and wonderful front of house team; for whom nothing is too much trouble.
You don't get to be this good by accident and Tom, Ellie, Tim and the team work tirelessly to ensure any visit to them is a wholly positive, relaxing and enjoyable experience.
If you haven't been there yet, please make the effort, you won't be disappointed.
Thank you Tom, Ellie, Tim, Hazel and the front of house team, Dan on the bar and all of the kitchen team for giving us a fantastic time and a wonderful meal today; can't wait to see you all for New Years Eve.

A group of 8 visited on 16th December for a Christmas get together. We were made very welcome from the start. We were shown our table straight away and as soon as our full party had arrived the wait staff went to the kitchens to get our food cooking. As usual with pre-ordering some of us had forgotten our choices but the staff had this organised already by knowing the name of the person whose food they had. The food portions were extremely generous and we all really enjoyed our meals. We had a great evening and I expect we will be back very soon!

A pleasant place for a meet-up of 6 old friends for a weekday lunch and chat. Service a bit slow as there were several christmas lunches in progress, but that was no problem to us. Food was good and freshly cooked.

Lovely Xmas dinner. Pre listed the food we wanted for the meal as was a bigger than average table. But took a long time to get the dinner out, especially the puds. Food was good though.

In a large family group we were able to find easily our reserved seating , had an excellent well cooked lunch and enjoyed the polite banter of the staff dealing with us and others at what was a very busy period for them , Well done team Allerford Inn

Second time of visiting the area with friends. Both times we have popped to The Allerford Inn for lunch. A good selection of light lunch meals, we selected jacket potatoes & baguettes and all were enjoyable. The Inn is clean and modern in decor. The washrooms were extremely well maintained. Good service and friendly bar staff.

Cannot fault The Allerford Inn at all. We got married abroad and booked our party at Allerford to celebrate with all our family and friends. All staff leading up to and on the day were amazing and helped us in every way we needed and answered all our questions.
We were allowed to set up during the day and we were allowed to do whatever we wanted to the large function room. The function room itself is a blank canvas allowing us to have our theme perfectly. Clean and tidy and beautiful with large windows all along one side with a view out onto the garden and fields. Large doors opened onto a large decked area. The slated dancefloor has a fairy light canopy which added a bit of romance to the whole room.
We had the 'standard buffet' for 40 people and it was MASSIVE! Lot's to choose from and copious amount of it!
All our guests were commenting on how lovely our party was and ow lovely the room was.
Can't say thank you enough! It was a night to remember and we'll be recommending you to everyone.
We'll 100% be back <3

A group of us were staying in nearby Washford for a 30th birthday and wanted a nice Sunday roast in Taunton or the local area. We booked a table towards the end of the carvery serving time, but there was still lots of everything (meat, veg, gravy, etc.) left. We all had different meats (two had veggie nut roast) and everyone raved about their food. The dauphinoise potatoes were delicious as well! Would highly recommend for a nice Sunday roast at a very reasonable price (less than £10 each)

Where do I start.....
Ellie and Tom have been amazing from the moment we booked our wedding reception right up until we left our wedding reception as Mr and Mrs. Ellie and Tom were always available to chat with if we needed to amend anything, even upto 2 days before! We were able to set up the day before but when time was not on our side Ellie was there with a helping hand! Ellie and Tom were friendly and super helpful from our unusual requests (ie hiring a surf simulator) to our special dietary requirements from our guests.Feeding 70+ guests, food was superb! Our day was perfect! They even managed to pull of surprise fireworks from the groom to the bride! Thank you for all your help. You helped to make it a day to remember!

We found this excellent place by accident last night and enjoyed a fantastic meal which was reasonably priced with generous portions. My wife is vegetarian and was spoilt for choice unlike most places which only offer one option if that! The staff are very attentive and very helpful. The Otter beer was lovely. if I wanted to run an Inn with all the hard work that goes into it this would be the model!!
