After a chequered past with closures through receivership and flooding, new hosts have reopened this restaurant first / pub second establishment in the last few months and it's well worth a trip off the beaten track. Had a nice evening meal here with friendly and attentive service. Food is good home cooked fare and prices are reasonable apart from wines ( cheapest £14.95! ). Although large, it has a cosy local feel and we look forward to trying the Sunday Carvery soon which friends say is the best in the area.

We visited The Allerford Inn having read reviews, with friends as a belated Christmas present for them. The menu choice was sufficiently varied for each of us. The spaghetti carbonara came with or without chicken - my husband said it was amazing - really tasty - he chose to have it with chicken. Our evening was wonderful, the food was great, the atmosphere was good even though there were few people in that night. The staff made you feel so welcome! The decor was lovely.
We had such a good evening - we chose to visit a week or so later for the carvery with family as a birthday treat. Again - we were far from disappointed. One of our party doesn't enjoy a carvery, so it was refreshing to have the option of selecting off the menu, whilst those that wanted a carvery could have one. Everyone said how much they enjoyed their meal. Really tasty, hot, nice choice of vegetables. The desserts were really tasty - the toblerone cheesecake was very popular!
Both visits were a hit with everyone who was with us, and all said we'd definitely go back again - if you'll have us of course!!
Congratulations to everyone at The Allerford Inn, Tom and Tim and the team make it a welcoming place to go - give it a try - you won't be disappointed!!

Beautifully refurbished. Food is always excellent, particularly the carvery which is DELICIOUS! Prices very reasonable. Not had a bad trip yet!

Went there for valentines evening meal. Whilst I am aware that they weren't doing a special evening for valentines, the other customers were mostly couples, we were therefore quite disappointed when there were children running around the place and generally being very noisy. The food was really nice but the service wasn't as good as it could have been, firstly my partners pint took about half an hour to arrive, by which time he didn't really want it and secondly we were given the dessert menu and then when we went to order we were told that 3 of the dishes weren't available. Surely we should have been told this sooner? As a result we didn't have desserts, asked for the bill and left

We arrived on Valentine's day 2016 for my birthday lunch and from the moment we all walked in to the moment we left, it was a fabulous experience. From the bar staff, to the carvery, the selection of meats, quality and quantity of veg, very home made gorgeous puds, the best service from waiting staff I have seen in years, it is very difficult to find fault; I suppose someone did drop a glass and it did break on the floor. It was needless to say picked up really quickly and with no fuss.. As we left, we have already booked for a months time, having lived in Somerset for years, I can not beloive I have missed this fine place

Visited twice in Feb. First was a business lunch. Decent lunch menu. All was prompt and tasty, reasonably priced.
Second was a family birthday, 12 in total. The place was packed. Service was excellent at the table, bit slower at the bar due to the number of people and was to be expected. Food is well cooked, well priced and good honest fare. Not fancy, but excellent 'home cooking' without being disrespectful. Not a single complaint from us or anyone we could hear.
The pub itself is well decorated with a great atmosphere, clean and fresh.
Highly recommended.

Decided to go out for a meal with the family last minute, decided we would try the allerford inn after a friend recommended them, was the best decision we made, food was excellent and very reasonably priced, was served straight away and the staff were fabulous. Lovely place very open, the kids loved it! Will be going back again very soon.

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. We went recently for my Aunts 50th Birthday. Despite a large party all our meals were delicious, served hot and with great presentation. Service was great and staff were very attentive. I would 100% recommend The Allerford, looking forward to going again so to try out the Sunday lunc!

Let's start with the food, All eight of us chose a carvery - in theory it should be hard to get a carvery wrong and yet so many pubs manage to. Not the case here, high quality meats and vegetables that have not been sat for ages and retained crunch and flavour. As for the deserts, the Toblerone cheesecake was different and full of taste.
The difference between the Allerford Inn and other competitors is actually simple - the food is very good but the service we experienced was some of the best I have seen in Somerset. The waiter at our table (I didn't catch his name) was brilliant. He was smiling, humorous and incredibly friendly. It really does make a difference and is the deciding factor why we will be back in the near future. I eat out all the time with work and get a good view as to what makes service good - the Allerford got this spot on.
I can't recommend the place highly enough, in summary it was good food, good value and great service.
