Had to come back after our first experience was amazing.
This time didn't disappoint, I had the gammon steak, my partner went with the sirloin, perfect! Staff very friendly and helpful again. Ate outside this time, nice and sunny.
Keep up the good work. Thanks.

I wanted an early Saturday evening meal in a local pub with my daughter so we dropped in to the Allerford Inn to 'check it out' - the reviews I'd read seemed favourable so thought it worth a try. The pub was well presented, with modern layout in a traditional setting. Plenty of parking with back and front gardens for drinking and/or eating. We received a very pleasant welcome from both the bar staff and young male waiter. The menu offered a good range of dishes, I enjoyed my home made Lasagna and my daughter said her Mushrooms stuffed with blue cheese were delicious. We were too full for pudding but they looked good on the menu. We expect to return before too long.

Went there for an informal family get together so nobody had to cook.
The place is like a tardis, it is huge inside !
Love the style.
Very friendly and welcoming staff.
The table service was very efficient and prompt.
I choose the sirloin steak cooked between blue and rare, which is usually very risky as it is very rare that I receive a steak cooked correctly. Pubs always tend to play it safe and is served to me done medium.
But I have to congratulate whoever cooked my steak last night as it was cooked to perfection and so tasty. The chips were nice and crispy on the outside and light and fluffy in the middle.
Will have to visit again for a family Sunday roast.

I booked the Allerford Inn as a surprise for my in-laws Ruby Wedding Anniversary... I'd booked the buffet for 25 people & the whole experience was fab!
All the guests commented on how great the food was, we also found the service to be very good.
Ellie is a great credit to the establishment & should be commended for all her efforts in making the evening so memorable.
We'll definitely be coming back!!

We walked through the fields from norton fitzwarren out to the Allerford night. We are very find of this pub and all it has to offer. Has the weather was lovely and sunny we sat in the busy beer garden and enjoyed a few ciders before ordering some food. The food was tasty as always, the service good, and the cider was excellent! Then we stumbled back home through the fields ;-)

Really good food however it was really quiet the night we went so there was no atmosphere. It's a big old place so needs a few people to be in.
Staff were good throughout.

Took my parents there for dinner. If you've got a big appetite this is the place for you. Man size portions of well prepared quality food. One of the few places I've been where they can cook a steak exactly like you order it.
Comfortable surroundings and friendly, helpful service. I'd definitely go again.

Visited the Allerford on a quiet Saturday night, food was average TBH. I would return to the Allerford but merely for a quick bite rather than something more special

I had a group of international visitors who were attending my place of work. They wanted to experience an informal, relaxed environment whilst staying in Taunton. Based on our visits to The Allerford, I thought I'd book them in there.
You then worry - that you've recommended somewhere, based on your experience, but is it what our international guests would enjoy?
Needn't have worried!! I got into my office the next morning to find a picture of a "thumbs up"!
The feedback I had was that everyone had really enjoyed their meal - but not just the meal, the atmosphere was great, made to feel extremely welcome - just an overall very enjoyable evening.
Two of our hosts had said they'd thought of visiting, but hadn't got round to it - but now say they're going to definitely visit in the future.
So once again, thank you to all at The Allerford - unfortunately I couldn't join them that evening - so will have to visit again with the family!
Keep up the great work you're doing there!!

Sunday afternoon, didn't feel like cooking so we decided to go for a steak. I'd heard radio adverts for The Allerford Inn so we went there. A little tricky to find, very narrow roads, but most certainly worth it.
We had a sirloin steak each, mine rare and my partners well done, both cooked to perfection, served with a garlic and mushroom sauce which was devine.
The staff were very polite, efficient and friendly. Although the place was fairly empty when we got there, 5pm, we still felt comfortable.
If you want a good, perfectly cooked steak in a very friendly and welcoming inn, this is the place to be.
This was our first visit but certainly will be the first of many.

Visited for the first time for a meal after calling in for a drink previous weekend and was not disappointed. Service was very good and food wow what a lovely and superb meal we had, just great. Starter of shared platter was to die for and mains just wonderful. This pub has undergone major refurb and I must say it's fantastic as can be seen by the full tables. The outside area is going to be a winner. The old Allerford Inn is gone bring in the new and what a great new (except the flowers lol).

Went into the Allerford for a Sunday carvery with the family. Massive portions of well cooked meat, a good selection of veg, and two types of potatoes. Nice to see dauphinoise on the menu. All well cooked and tasty. Are returning soon for a party, cant wait.

Just back from the Allerford having gone for a quick drink but quickly (and easily) persuaded ourselves to grab something to eat.
I have reviewed before, some months ago, and this place just keeps getting better and better.
The menu is purposely not huge but it caters for all tastes and all the food is locally sourced and brilliant quality. You could choose anything and wouldn't be disappointed but the fish cakes, faggots, sausages and lamb & mint burger are absolute triumphs.
Very warm and welcoming, the beer is very well kept and all the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful - in particular, Paul is an absolute treasure and asset to the pub.
They never fail to deliver so I would highly recommend a visit, you won't be disappointed.

Was deeply impressed with this restaurant from the moment walked in to the moment left as well as everything in between- phenomenally good tailor made service, delicious dishes presented beautifully, very reasonable priced menu( wide choices) and gluten free requirements superbly met! Even the fact that families with children had a seperate area to just couples or adult groupings was so cool! Was recovering from a migraine so my husband asked if they minded turning the music down- the did this straight away. We were sat at the perfect table for us in a dimmed lighted area too- just perfect! Loved that they are so inclusive to disabled people's needs too! Will highly recommend this restaurant to everyone! Looking forward to returning here fairly soon,too! Thank You!

Delicious carvery, everything served piping hot, the meats were not only tender but full of flavour. The toblerone cheesecake is to die for! Friendly happy staff, nothing too much trouble.

I booked, requesting a slightly different buffet than those advertised. After my emailing our requirements I quickly received a reply and costing. The staff bent over backwards in ensuring everything was done to make the afternoon an enjoyable experience. I most certainly recommend, for a drink, meal or gathering everyone should put this venue nearest the top of their list. Excellent.👍👍👍

We had the carvery on a Sunday in February and it was truly delicious and filling. Fantastic food considering it was so cheap!
