Amazing place to visit will be back soon

I've periodically posted about the Allerford and it just gets better and better.
I know it's not on a main road but it is an incredible asset for the area and well worth any small effort it takes to get there. Local people really need to get behind it and support it.
The menu continues to have a good range to choose from whilst still being home-cooked and great quality, which is a welcome change to those places that have enormous menus that offer everything under the sun, all of which is pre-packed and microwaved.
The team have now really bedded in and are fantastic and the atmosphere is always good. The recent addition of two log burners really adds to this now the nights have drawn in and the cold weather is with us.
Make the effort and visit, you certainly won't be disappointed!

Attended for a birthday meal with my boyfriend. Lovely interior design and appeared to have well spaced tables. Nice music to add to atmosphere in the background also. Greeted, served drinks at the bar and given menus before sitting at our table. Well presented menus on wooden engraved clipboards which was a nice touch. Varied choice of mains. I had the Allerford Chicken and my boyfriend had the Salmon en croute. Both very nice meals served with different veg and chips. Overall very nice visit and would recommend and visit again. Only thing that could have lifted atmosphere would have been for the front of house staff to be more chatty and engaging, however they performed the main areas of their job to a good standard.

Beautiful setting, attentive service and fantastic Sunday lunch at the Allerford. Thank you. Would recommend here if you go as a family or a couple.

A surprisingly big place but still cozy and modern. Some good ales and wine. Food selection is reasonable and is of excellent quality, quantity and presentation. Dog friendly too - it was quiet when we visited and we were even given some biscuits and water for the dog. Would highly recommend

We had friendly and attentive service throughout with regard to decision making about size and number of tables, decorations, choice of food to be offered, etc. etc. All guests enjoyed the delicious food and the lovely atmosphere at the venue.

Where do we start?!
Well, as soon as we started discussing wedding reception ideas, my now husband and I had no hesitations in discussing The Allerford. It would be the ideal venue for what we were envisaging for our day. It's relaxed, does great food, plenty of outside space for the kids to let of steam, and most importantly serves great cider ;-)
From the very start of our planning Tom was at hand and helped us put together a package that encapsulated our likes from the welcome drinks, right through to the evening buffet. Nothing was too much to ask, Tom even helped us source the most amazing band to play our evening reception.
We truly had the most amazing, memorable day with all our friends and families saying likewise, the quality of food served was second to none, Tom and his team truly did us proud!
Thank-you to Tom and his fabulous staff team, we will most definitely be back, time and time again

On our 40th Anniversary booked Sunday lunch here - never been before but reviews seemed positive. Arrived at a 'holiday camp' with very young toddlers running and screaming everywhere, we were plonked in the middle of the dining room surrounded by them all - I had said it was an anniversary meal when I booked so had hopes for a decent table. Food not bad although put off it as the person in front had her hair dangling all over the meat and yorkshires (low carvery stand). Terrible atmosphere just ate the lunch and went home for pudding and coffee - very disappointed as you only have a 40th once in a lifetime (hopefully) - had to queue to find out what the 'form' was, bar staff not particularly friendly or helpful - they gave us a ticket stub each and told us to go to the carvery. We were left to get on with it needless to say, won't be going back there and atmosphere is awful unless you like toddlers hurling themselves around while you eat!

Visit in The Allerford Inn was very spontaneous. We turned up on here because the other pub we arrived in had so bad reviews I didn't want to take chances to ruin my Sunday!
So I decided to go somewhere close with really good reviews. And I choose The Allerford Inn.
Good decision!
Firstly- big carpark
The Allerford Inn is very big.
With different style looking dining rooms. Bright. Garden. Patio area, clean, friendly staff, did not appear very often but asked if we need anything and if everything is OK.
See pictures.
We ordered beef burger 🍔- very tasty!
And chicken wrapped in baking filled with sun dried tomatoes...asparagus, salad, triple cooked chunky chips 🍟 were awesome!
Crunchy outside and fluffy inside! Heaven! 😂
So thankfully to honest TripAdvisor reviewers I have saved myself great disappointed and instead I had great tasty meal!
Thank you all who leave constructive feedback!
I will definitely come back here!
Thanks

Sunday carvery with a vegetarian in tow..never easy. But here we had a gorgeous carvery and my wife was able to have a nut roast with vegetarian gravy and then was able to add all the glorious veg on offer. The carvery chef changed his gloves before serving the vegetarian meal because he had been handling meat. Fantastic.
The bar service was efficient and the staff very pleasant and helpful.
The Inn is in a lovely country setting but just 10 mins drive from Taunton.
Highly recommended. I will be going again very soon

We have just eaten one of the best meals EVER! I cannot praise the Allerford Inn enough . The food was excellent. All four of had the best meals in a very long time. The steak pie is absolutely delicious. It's a must if you are on the area

We have been to the Allerford Inn several times now, and for the carvery. Both times were excellent even when busy.... The food was really good and priced well and there was a very good selection of real ales at the bar. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the service always very good.
I would definitely recommend a trip or two to the Allerford Inn.....pity its not our village pub & to walk to easily .........

My partner and I had lunch (a long one!) here and it was great from start to finish! Service was very good and the food was excellent- It's a bit out of the way but definitely worth using the satnav to find it. We felt unrushed and valued as customers, it's a lovely place to spend a couple hours- beautifully presented too (the food and the pub!)

My Hubbie was tasked with choosing a venue he wanted for his special birthday and he had to book the table - I contacted them privately by email to explain it was his 60th birthday family meal - I asked if they could make him feel special and also could they arrange a birthday cake ( this request by me was made via email, very late evening the night before! - I woke to find a confirmation that they would sort it ) - they also asked if he liked wine, and if yes what was his preference?, white, red or rose...
When we turned up and were shown to our table - the whole area was decorated with ' happy birthday banners', there was a bottle of his favourite red wine and lots of ''confetti stars "!!!- he was so chuffed.
The meal was lovely (starters were amazing!!)' the staff were very attentive throughout and they made the serving of the 'cake' memorable... They lowered the lights, and sang 'Happy Birthday' to my Hubbie Ian as they delivered the cake to the table!!! - thank you Will Hughes!
THANK YOU to all staff involved on the night!!
We will return xxx

I had a steak which was cooked right and portions were ok .... Waitress didn't know anything about the menu when quizzed on the meals which is poor as its one of they're main jobs .... Nice place though and worth a visit before it floods again 😂😂😂

Lovely location and high standard of decor, love the stone floor and outside dining area.Very friendly welcome and very prompt service. Food was excellent value for money, good portion sizes and good variety on the menu. Ordered a rare steak, unfortunately it was more like a medium, but very tasty all the same.

I have been to the Allerford Inn twice now, once mid week and once for the carvery. Both times were excellent! The food was fantastic and reasonably priced and there was a good selection of real ales at the bar. The staff were friendly and helpful and the service very good.
I would definitely recommend a trip to the Allerford Inn.

From the moment the phone was picked up to book the table for Sunday carvery, until the moment we left the premises after the meal, everything either satisfied or excelled our expectations!
Food, service, quality and price were all superb.
Very highly recommend this hidden gem, suggest booking in advance as this WILL become a very popular choice once found by all, and I will pass these comments to all my connections.
To the proprietors and staff alike:
Thank you for re-installing my enthusiasm for good local food, cooked and served well in beautiful surroundings.

We had a great meal here. The menu has lots of choices for both adults and children and there were three empty plates, everyone very happy. The summer chicken and chorizo scotch egg were particularly delicious. The inn is very clean and fresh, only being a year old. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely visit again if local.

We attended a celebration evening last night as the Inn has been open for a year. Great evening - good food and the band were brilliant. The kids enjoyed the bouncy castle and slide. Well done to all the staff.
