⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Sunday Carvery Experience at The Allerford Inn!
We visited The Allerford as a family for their Sunday carvery and were absolutely blown away — it was divine! From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating, especially with our family's additional needs. It's clear they are SEN-friendly and genuinely care about creating a comfortable experience for all.
The carvery itself was exceptional — generous portions, beautifully cooked meats, and a fantastic selection of fresh vegetables and sides. I opted for the £25 plate, and it was worth every penny. The quality and quantity were spot on, making it great value for money.
And the puddings? Even better! Rich, indulgent, and the perfect way to end the meal. Everyone left happy, full, and already planning our next visit.
Highly recommended for families, especially those looking for a relaxed, inclusive dining experience with top-notch food. Thank you, Allerford team!

Can’t believe the review below. And how on earth that warrants a one star review. Food on the floor, yeah a few bits near the carvery but what do you expect when parents are not supervising their children when they plate up. ignore that review please as it’s so irritating and way off the mark. It’s a carvery for goodness sake, not fine dining.
We nipped in for a carvery as it’s our local today, really yummy meats well cooked and fresh not bookers cash and carry meat but nice local produce. Will defo visit again.
We have visited many times and the food is always well prepared and the pies…. OMG to die for!
Dont let imbeciles like the one below effect what you do Allerford!

My wife and I went to the Allerford Inn, Norton Fitzwarren today for an anniversary lunch. We have got a lot going on so a lunchtime meal was the best option, and what an inspired choice that was! We were early, so it was quiet, but we received a lovely cheery welcome. Everything was good until our food arrived and then it was on a different level. The food was so beautifully presented and it tasted amazing. I had the meatballs tagliatelle and my wife had the cheddar ploughman’s, (see attached photos). The food could not have been better and at a really good price. We are planning to go back as a couple and I’m also planning a family do there because they have so much room and it’s got such a homely atmosphere.

Training needs to be a focus.
Multiple problems occurred with our table and others such as delays in food coming, mistakes with orders and genuine hospitality.
When we wanted to pay, the server said he had finished work so we had to go to the bar where a wedding party had overtaken and with one person behind the bar meant we had to wait a while.
The table adjacent to us also had a number of problems to the point they refused to pay.
Not a great experience but nothing some training couldn’t fix.

Absolutely fantastic service, amazing food. Great carvery dinner on Sundays and lots of special food nights. Mexican night was great with lovely spicy food 😊. Very good value for money.

We love this pub for a carvery because it really is worth every penny but decided to go and have lunch there today as we have always had such lovely service. We had a burger each which were actually on a deal but the burger was so well cooked and was huge! It came with crispy chips, onion rings, homemade slaw and salad… it was presented lovely and as always the staff were so friendly you felt really valued. Only problem you will have will be having to choose from the menu as it all looks so appetising so have now planned more Friday visits to tick off the lovely meals on there one by one.
Thank you to Shane and staff
