Party of 8, all food was hot & cooked to perfection! The mega burgers & pork & apple burgers were a popular choice & we received extra chips on the house! This tucked away country delight is well worth a visit will be back for more!

I visited The Allerford Inn last night with my parents, husband and two young children. It was a spur of the moment decision to eat out and we are so glad we did.

I wasn't even aware it had re-opened after the floods but it has really been re-done to a high standard. There was a lovely atmosphere and the staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for you.

I loved the menu - so many of my favourites so will need to return again soon to try the others!

My mum and husband chose the special. (Sorry I can't remember the name but was a chicken stir fry dish with spicy noodles). Both plates were empty and both said it was delicious.

My little girl loved the little chicken that her ice cream came in and my Mocha was lovely.

The meal was reasonably priced and value for money for the obviously fresh, home cooked food.

We will definitely be returning. A lovely pub with great staff and food! Highly recommended!

Visited with family - staff very friendly and helpful. Two had Chicken Teryaki which was amazing. Pork and apple burger was delicious and two had the fish and chips which was vey good. One childrens curry and rice was very tasty and included an ice cream for pudding -. Very good value. It's has been tastefully redecorated. We will certainly be returning and would not hesitate to recommend it.

What a lovely place, food was great we had ham, egg and chips and the steak cooked to perfection and so tender. Pudding was sticky toffee pudding and chocolate banoffee pie which was delicious definitely a keeper. Staff were so friendly and nice made you feel really welcome. Can't wait to try the carvery. Décor is tastefully done and comfortable. Good luck Tom and Tim its a great place.

Brilliant pub very warm welcome. Had a brilliant starter and main here. We shared a deli for two was an amazing spread of pâté, baked Camembert, cheese, ham, bread etc. it was an incredible portion very generous and delicious. I had my usual blue rump steak and it was cooked perfectly which was a delight. Thank you allerford inn team for an amazing meal.

Thank you for a nice weekend welcoming my family and friends. Place children friendly and the gardens give them a lot of space to run round. Ellie and Paul (staff) were really friendly and helpful and worked hard to make the weekend successful. Friends and family all commented positively about the venue and food. Also good value for money.

My partner and I both thoroughly enjoyed our carvery at the Allerford Inn. The meat was amazingly tender and there was a wide variety of delicious vegatables on offer. The pudding was delicious too! Lovely surroundings and staff to boot...... would definitely recommend!

My wife and I made our first visit to this pub which reopened recently after a long period out of use. It has been renovated in a very tasteful way, looks great from the outside and there's plenty of different seating areas inside to suit everyone's needs from a cosy corner for two, to large family or a large group get-together. We visited on spec on 30th August arriving around 12:30 and it was reasonably busy at this time, and got busier during the next hour or so. Nevertheless we ordered drinks and got a table without a problem. We decided to go for the Carvery which consisted of 3 meats, roast potatoes, potato dauphinoise, Yorkshire pudding and a vast array of fresh vegetables to choose from.
Everything I selected was served hot and very tasty, an excellent meal for the very reasonable price charged.
I was a very surprised by another visitor's review which I assume to have been for the same day that we visited, as it was completely different to our own experience. True, there isn't a "meet and greet" person like you have in some of those pub chains to book you in and escort you to your table, but personally I am not a fan of such places as invariably, you end up queuing at the meet and greet station waiting to be seated. I much prefer to go direct to the bar, order a drink, pick up a menu and get my table number and directions if necessary, not difficult really. As for the staff, I found them all to be courteous and helpful, keeping tables clear of empty glasses and plates on a regular basis,, taking dessert orders, relaying tables etc. certainly not wandering around aimlessly as I have read elsewhere.
Our bill for two good quality carvery meals and four alcoholic drinks was under £30 - certainly very reasonable!
The pub is definitely a little off the beaten track, and will not get a lot of passing trade, so it will rely a lot on word of mouth, hence this review. However it is well worth giving it a try and then you can make your own mind up. We'll definitely be returning again in the future.

Recently re-opened, have been there 5-6 times over last few weeks for a mix of food and just drinks.
Very nicely fitted out with large patio deck and rear garden and decent front garden with seating. Inside it's very open feeling but there are several distinct areas that cover the options from simply sitting with a drink to eating, whether it's 2 of you or a large party. Very well thought out and spaced out, there isn't anywhere where you feel you're on top of other people or having to squeeze between tables.
A small menu which covers all the bases means that everything is cooked on site which is a welcome change from pubs with large, multi-option menus where it's impossible to have everything fresh as wastage would be ruinous.
Spoke with the landlord and this is a very deliberate approach as they want everything to be, in his words, "perfect" - and they're not far off. His only concession was that they might add some daily specials at a later stage!
As to the food itself, simple (ie non-pretentious), extremely well cooked and well presented. Of the things we've tried, the field mushrooms with pesto and blue cheese are superb, as is the sausage and mash and, joy of joys, you are actually asked how you'd like your burger cooked!! I had mine medium rare and they got it spot on.
Add to this a welcoming, friendly and very effective team of bar and waiting staff and a good selection of beers and wines and this must rate as a top place to go either for a casual drink on a lazy afternoon or some very good food.
We will be making regular visits (I plan to work my way through the menu) and while I'd really like to keep this place to myself, that wouldn't be fair on the rest of the population.

This venue are excellent the staff are excellent . The were friendly and nothing was to much trouble the food was mouth watering and all served hot with lots of choice . Plenty of room for a disco. Pleased to see a country pub with a lovely garden reopen and well worth a visit . I would especially recommend there function faculties.

My wife and I wanted an early Sunday Lunch so booked a table for 12:00; when we arrived all was very quiet. I was concerned that this newly re-opened pub was not attracting enough business. We bought our drinks, got our carvery ticket and went to the carvery. There was a choice of Beef, Pork and Turkey. with a good selection of vegetables, and of course Yorkshire puddings. I chose just beef, my wife beef and turkey. The beef was tender and had a good taste. The vegetables were good too, and enabled me to exceed my five a day. An enjoyable lunch, we didn't want dessert. Certainly on my worth another visit list. As for my initial concern, when we left just after 12:30 it was filling up nicely and I overheard the man behind the bar turning a phone enquiry down because they were fully booked. Deservedly so, mental reminder to phone first when planning a repeat visit (01823 461119)

We visited The Allerford whilst on a weekend away and I must say our experience was really great! We got seated within 5 minutes of walking in, the service was excellent and the food was really good! We visited with our two young daughters and they were very accommadating with amending the menu to what they like.
Really tasty food for fair prices!!

Visited the Allerford inn with 2 friends in the evening, we all had the steak pie
which was delicious, could have done with some veg with it instead of
chips though. Not many people in that night, Tuesday, Good menu, enjoyed it, will return..

Lovely renovation, great friendly service, we ordered two steaks and everything was cooked to perfection. A chocolate orange dessert was to die for! The basic service of having to get up to collect menus and place your order could be improved on a quiet lunch so the customers feel more welcome especially in the first couple of weeks of opening. However we will be returning as this is an old favourite pub and we hope this pub reaches top popularity again.

I went for a Sunday Carvery at the newly re-opened Allerford Inn, and really enjoyed the food on offer. Price wise I'd consider it value for money for what you get, with the food on offer of very good quality, and the Inn itself is a very welcoming place to be. It has outside seating as you'd expect, though do watch out for the active high speed railway line nearby if you have kids. If you're a fan of walks you might enjoy a stroll in the fields behind the pub with your family, or your dog, that runs along the river before or after a meal here. Parking was good, and all in all a very nice inn and I'd happily eat / drink here again.

I visited the Allerford inn after someone had liked it on facebook so thought I would try it out with my family for lunch, it had been open for 4 days when we went and the food was lush, gravy was epic with the pie I had but could have just done with some peas but thats just me been fussy and my partner had a mega burger which was mega! Shall be visiting again soon.

Fabulous food and menu. Relaxed atmosphere. Dogs welcome. Extensive garden. Generous portions. Would definitely return.

For several years I had seen the Allerford Inn from the train while travelling from Cornwall to Somerset. It always looking interesting. When I moved to Somerset a couple of years ago I checked the maps and went to try it. It was closed, I found it had been badly flooded late in 2013. Well last week-end it opened after what seems to be a major refurbishment. Tonight we went to try it, enjoyed the layout, found it welcoming and friendly. We had a simple meal, burger made on the premises, and very nice it was too, I get the feeling they have started off with a fairly limited menu to get back under way. The menu suggests a specials board will soon be introduced.

A promising sign, somebody on a table nearby had ordered pie of the day. I did not know what it was but when he started eating, I could smell that it was probably Steak and Kidney pie, I asked, and it was. good to know food smells right.

We will be back
