We have not visited the Allerford for many years, so pleased with to find friendly and efficient staff. Good quality food and very good value, we will certainly visit again.

Mid week lunch with friends today has been all the more enjoyable because the meal and the service were faultless. There's a wide choice, a generous amount, and it's all at pub/restaurant prices.. It looks smart as it's been recently refurbished,and it's spacious with lots of parking. Why wasn't it packed out? Perhaps people are too lazy to drive a little way out from Taunton or Wellington. It's worth the drive.

I have eaten at the Allerford on several occasions. I have always been very pleased with the quality of the food and the great service - nothing is too much effort. Tim and Tom are cheerful and polite, and in quieter times I have had some really interesting conversations with them. They, along with their staff, have made the Allerford Inn a really special place to visit. The prices are very reasonable too. I believe they have a 5 star food hygiene rating which is very difficult to achieve in this day and age, so customers can have confident in the quality of the food served, which uses local butchers and suppliers. All in all, a fantastic place to visit, I would thoroughly recommend it.

This was the best meal had in a long time, friendly staff good atmosphere, well worth a visit. Good value for money.

We have been having our business Christmas Meal with Tom and the gang now for 3 years....we have a large group of 30-40 people Tom always manages to make us feel special, warm and welcome! the food is great!! Thanks again Tom for a great party :) kerry

I was somewhat speculative about going for a meal with the other half so close to Christmas most places being booked up and unable to cope with demands of service but the Allerford and it's wonderful staff proved me wrong. As a walk in couple we were seated quickly, in a busy pub it must be said with only a few spare tables, throughout the evening the staff were curtious and quick. the food came out with out delay and can honestly say the best steak I've had in years was set before me. Bravo to the Allerford inn, my compliments to the chef and I very much look forward to going back again in the new year.

Went here for a family gathering, to catch up and have a nice meal. Thoroughly enjoyable, great food, great service and great functions!

We decided to give the allerford inn a go for lunch today. Remembering this is only a couple of days before Christmas, when people are normally out celebrating with family and friends, the pub was virtually empty. Two of the company ordered a carvery which was ok. The other two ordered battered fish and chips. On receiving the fish we found it was the pre processed shaped fish, which I didn't know still existed. After finishing our meal I passed a comment to the waitress about the fish, saying I was expecting a proper piece of fish. The explanation I was given was that they were hoping to provide proper fish but as it was not that popular, they would not be doing so. I said if it's not that popular, surely it would be better to take it off the menu, instead of serving sub standard food. She said she would pass comments to the chef. On paying, I asked if she had passed the message to the chef. I told them I was very disappointed in their response, especially as there was no good will gesture on their part, a cup of coffee would have been good. I said it will be a long time before we visit this pub again, there are far better ones in the area

Great food and Great Beer! Always fond of this pub and the new owners are maintaining the excellent reputation. We had our works 'Christmas do' there and I have no complaints. For a busy night with 2 large parties, the service was brilliant and the carvery exceptional. Ii would highly recommend this pub and will certainly be returning in the future. Thank you one and all

A very good carvery. Carvery is not an easy meal to present the team at the Allerford Inn did it in spades. Three meats to choose any two from. A massive selection of veg from which to help yourself called for a good deal of self restraint. This followed a great starter and was in turn followed by a choice of puddings. PS. I did not do the five mile walk, I was just invited along for the lunch..

good food, good atmosphere and very helpful staff..... My family and I had a very enjoyable meal. The staff were friendly and helpful and we did not feel that we had to rush our meals to vacate the dining area for others waiting to be seated. Although this restaurant/ pub is a bit out of the way it is certainly well worth a visit and we will be visiting again in the future. Definitely recommend it to other family and friends. Very rural area but classy dining and good food. Lots of choice and good value for money. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and the children had a lovely day.
The restaurant is bright and spacious and very accessible for pushchairs and wheelchairs. The staff are very attentive and nothing is too much trouble.

The service was good and attentive. The decor was bright and cheerful.
The food was very good
selection pate to start followed by sirloin cooked as I like it 9 completed the chef later at the bar and to finish what else but Xmas pud and custard, super followed by a cappuccino
A very good evening thank you

We love this pub. We were so happy when it reopened and has been done so beautifully. Now I love this pub even more because of the wonderful atmosphere you created for my surprise 40th party and the man of my dreams asking me to marry him. The spread you put on was amazing and the space to chat and to dance was just perfect. I would never hesitate to recommend this pub. Lovely walk on a summers evening with the dogs across the fields too. All the staff are friendly and helpful. With a lovely outdoor space for kids to run around on.

Had a team lunch hear and got to enjoy the carvery. Great quality food and plenty of choice - was pleasantly surprised what great value it was.
The owners have done a fantastic job in the look and feel of the venue - bright and spacious and the staff were attentive and on the ball. Thank-you!

Had a fantastic Xmas lunch, 35 of us, not one complaint, food excellent, staff excellent, so overall a really good experience and will definitely go back again.

We came as a group of 5 and were really well looked after. The refurb has be done really nicely, everything looks and feels good quality and there's plenty of space. Our Christmas lunch was great, would definitely go again!

I always come her very nice atmosphere beautiful place. I had a Carvery tonight and spoke you he chef stating I was working Xmas day due to my job and he gave us 4. Free Christmas crackers .. Such a kind thing to do! Always coming back

Really great food and excellent service from the very friendly and helpful staff. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was delightful
The restaurant /pub has a lovely so sphere. I highly recommend paying them a visit soon.

Was able to book easily for a carvery lunch today. The Inn is delightfully refurbished and the choice of meats and veg was great. Raspberry roulade for deserts and in-all a great experience. Will return unless you all start booking this place ahead of me.

Me and my family went for a carvery today and it was so lovely. The food was brilliant were we sat was lively, also the Christmas decorations were very nice.

We went to the allerford for my wife's 40th birthday lunch. About 30 of us in total. Including 8 kids ranging from 6 weeks to 9 years old. The communication from Elly was absolutely fantastic. They really couldn't have done enough for us to make sure everything was ready.

We got there and went straight to the function room, where the tables had been arranged and set for us to sit down and start chatting!!! No waiting, everything was organised without delay.

We had sent our menu choices 48 hours beforehand and as the brilliant staff gave us our choices, they had a fantastic system where instead of just saying what the food was, they called out the name of the person who's meal it was. What a great idea!! There was absolutely no confusion!!

I had the starter of baked brie in breadcrumbs and as soon as I cut into the parcel, the brie just oozed out! What was also great to see was that the white outside of the cheese was attached to the breadcrumbs, proving that it was properly homemade!! The carbonara tagliatelle was superb and the melting chocolate orange pudding was divine. Another indicator of the quality of the food was when Elly asked us how we would like our burgers cooked as they used steak mince and wanted to get it right for us!! I mean, you really can't ask for more can you!?!

The prices were really good value. There were a great selection of ales and ciders as well as the normal lagers. I would have expected to have paid a good 25% more for the quality of food alone.

I really can't rate this place highly enough. As a foodie who works in customer service, they tick all the boxes. And what I love, is the allerford has none of the pretentiousness that you sometimes get with some places that deliver less admirable food and service.

It is a little off the beaten track, but still only 15 mins drive from the centre of town.

In summary. Go to the allerford inn, not only will you not be dissapointed, you WILL be impressed!!!

Excellent food - Carvery was superb and well priced.
Friendly staff, always good to have a laugh
Very high standards of refurbishment

It's great to see the Allerford has at last reopened! This used to be our 'go to' place for carvery and have struggled to find anywhere comparable around town in the meantime. It's looking great inside and out, it will be lovely in the warmer weather when people are able to sit outside too. There were 4 of us and we all chose the carvery which we were directed up to pretty much straightaway, no queue at the station which is always a bonus! There's a choice of 3 meats and a lots of vegetables too. It's nice to see they kept the serving area clean and tidy as well. We all enjoyed and finished what we had and then 2 of us had sticky toffee pudding which was delicious!

I will definitely be going back and I would without hesitation recommend to others!

We came to the Allerford Inn for Sunday lunch.
We were greeted by pleasant smiling staff .
Although it was busy you didn't feel you were sitting on top of each other!
The carvery was well presented , plenty of choice of veg etc . The beef was very tender & tasty.
We really enjoyed our meal & highly recommend, we will definitely be returning for another Sunday lunch !

Came to this pub with my parents we was welcomed and greeted with a smile, although we hadn't booked a table the staff had no trouble finding us one.. We all had a Sunday lunch to which was extremely delightful, we will most certainly be visiting again along with friends and family. Great family friendly pub with reasonable priced food :)
