The Museum of Somerset is an incredible museum with a castle section showcasing fascinating historical exhibits, taking you on a journey through time. The military section is fascinating, offering insightful insights into Somerset's military past. The collection of fossils is impressive, giving visitors a glimpse into prehistoric life. The wide array of artifacts on display is a real pleasure for history lovers. Overall, the experience was phenomenal, offering an engaging and enriching visit. A five-star must-see for anyone interested in Somerset's rich heritage.

Super Museum tucked away in the middle of Taunton, follow road signs. Spread over several floors a real gem on the history of Somerset. The museum is run by volunteers who were extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable, Cafe and gift shop. No car park but parking available near Lidl a short walk away. Well worth a visit, free entry but please give a donation.

By chance we came upon the museum today. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lots of immaculately presented exhibits covering thousands of years. And it is free to get in. Thoroughly recommend a visit

One of the best museums I’ve ever been. Very pretty and interactive. Staffs are very friendly. For such high quality displays and environment, I can’t believe it’s all free. The café is lovely, too. Very clean toilet and baby friendly.

Interesting museum; I recommend that you go around it on the suggested order, which is primarily in chronological order. Good cafe. (For those interested in musical instruments, I was fascinated by the virginal, which I have never come across before. Pictures came out well, but don't really do justice to quite how curious it is!)

One of my favourite thing about the museum is learning about the rich history of Somerset from the archeological objects in a great building which was once a castle. So cool!

The Museum of Somerset is an excellent museum with lots of galleries to explore. The current temporary exhibition is on Myths and Monsters and continues to end of October 2022, but check the dates. It has a nice Court Yard Cafe. The guides and volunteers were extremely helpful.

A very nicely set up museum with a fantastic and clever display of Somerset history. The staff are very friendly and the cafe is very nice.

What a great day for children. Their exhibition of Axel Scheffler and his illustrations is great. We had 4 children with us. The Bingo around the Museum was so much fun. Making sticks and flags etc and the exhibition itself was fantastic. The only thing you may struggle with it is being busy but I expect if you go earlier or later in the day this wouldnt be an issue. The staff were very helpful. The cafe was busy but well organised. Great experience considering how cheap it was. Very much advised over the summer hols.

I visited an exhibition at the museum a few months ago but this time I had the time to explore the whole site. The more permanent exhibitions covering the local area through history are excellent with many superb items, fascinating. There are also temporary exhibitions on the other side of the museum and these are varied and excellent. Lovely cafe with the museum and a great gift shop. My only complaint is that the lifts are much too small for many wheelchairs. I accompanied a relative in a medium size wheelchair and struggled every time, pulling the legs in and raising the back right up which was uncomfortable for my relative.

A wonderful and carefully-planned museum! Makes excellent use of the space available and has some fascinating artefacts, especially the most perfectly preserved Roman Mosaic I've ever seen! A fantastic, if fittingly depressing exhibition on the destruction of church artwork during the reformation was very moving indeed. In addition to this, the museum gives justly thorough attention to the history of local people; something that is shortly sorely lacking in many museums in the South West!

This was an interesting museum to visit, with exhibitions at the start showing the great county of Somerset back as it was before humans! The artefacts are preserved ancient relics, history is provided about the creatures who inhabited the county and Roman area has more info on civilization with clothes to even try on. Cultural history is also depicted through the ornaments and items used back in the day for practices, models are glorious too! There is even a section showing transport from back then, staff were helpful as well.

Unique history of gardening at this place. From some ancient medieval (?) To Edwardian. A sit down table service menu and a café on site. Nice food. ££. Nice walks with dogs welcome and dog bins available. Lovely paths along the stream which comes through the estate all the way down to the gardens. Not national trust. The house needs restoration but is open with great views over the garden and some artifacts from the house on show. Bat house with CCTV was empty but is there usually.

We had a tasty lunch, and there was a beautiful metal tree sculpture in the restaurant courtyard. We then walked around the grounds. The woodland walk was lovely, with lakes, buildings, and many birds. House was interesting with an art exhibition and an excellent second-hand book shop.

Think this is are third visit here and as always not disappointed, early in the year this time for us, so plenty of new plants to see, with seemingly different views, bluebells out all over with the bluebell walk a real treat, had a nice snack at the cafe this time which was lovely and fresh. The house had a very interesting exhibition about the house and estate with items found in and around during renovations. Spent the best part of the day here, which gave us plenty of time to wonder around and find places we had missed before, the on going renovations and different plants. Friendly helpful staff.

Fantastic garden. We had a wonderful visit, taking our Standard Poodle with us. Lots of parking, and even an electric charge point for our car. (Ask for the key fob from the welcome desk.) Good welcome and everything explained and we were given a map. Wonderful landscape garden with good paths, some steepish, but not hazardously so. Lots of architectural garden incidence - towers, mausoleum etc. Beautiful trees. More formal gardens. Beautifully maintained and friendly gardeners, happy to talk to visitors. Really inspiring ideas to take home to ordinary domestic gardens. And interesting plants for sale. Good restaurant and cafe, and dog welcome in the cafe. A first class visit.

Spent over four hours walking through the gardens and paths. Map does tell you which paths are easy or steep. On the steeper routes you get some really good view points. Seats dotted around to take a break.The scent from the roses was lovely. We had been advised that a wedding was taking place in the Orangery so it would be off limits for a while. Not a lot in the house . Staff friendly in the cafe. Enjoyed our pasties. Would recommend it to anyone who likes gardens formal and informal.

I attended a wedding there, it is a lovely venue with beautiful grounds. Catering was excellent. We had a very enjoyable day. The Victorian gardens are lovely.

Fantastic place to visit for a lovely walk around the beautiful gardens and through the trees and across waters, with opportunities for spectacular views for miles. Gift shops had a range of quality handmade items, whilst the art gallery had unique works on display in large historic building with original decor. I also found the watermill really fascinating, being able to see the old machinery on display. The cafeteria offered a very delicious afternoon tea for us, definitely worth the money. Phoned and booked in advance. All staff on site were very welcoming and friendly. Will probably return especially for the illuminate light show at night which I’ve heard good things about. Overall definitely recommended and offers good value for money for a good few hours visiting.

Superb little jem of a place ! Well tendered gardens offering relaxing, scenic walks. The house and art gallery are beautiful, and the used book shop is a treasure trove for those who like a bargain read. Food in the restaurant is first class. Tasty, and plentiful. Staff are friendly, polite, and helpful. Definitely worthy of more than one visit. !!

Lovely gardens originally designed by Gertrude Jekyll with lake and orangery, tea room, plant shop and house with gift store. Lots to see, very helpful volunteers, beautifully quiet when I visited on a Saturday during the bank holiday. Recommended.

It was wet and windy. Still we had a lovely time. Afternoon tea was a bit cake heavy, scones we're really nice. Would have preferred a bit more savory but that's personal choice. We also went for a walk. Got the last 16 minutes in the bee education centre which was fun. Even for us adults. Event in the wet and the rain it was a lovely walk. Even fed the ducks up close and personal

Lovely return visit for the Christmas Market and stroll around the grounds. Well marked out paths around the lake and places to explore with great views. Did the evening light show last year, well worth a visit this year.

Lovely formal gardens with different garden levels and different planting. Nice woodland walk around the estate up to the Georgian landscape garden lots of different buildings to see there are some steep slopes up there. There is a lovely cafe back by reception to have something to eat, the scones were delicious but the cream tea with 2 scones come with tea for 1 not 2 people

One of the best Christmas lights and sounds spectacular I have seen so far. Pre-booked tickets were affordable. A nice effortless walk around and the mild weather made it to be so special for us.

Beautiful gardens and scenery, definitely worth a visit for the Christmas lights too. Was a bit expensive for the food especially when the hotdogs rolls were hard and the turkey roll was bland I tiny thin bit of turkey and stuffing. Wasn't worth the price but the hot chocolate was so tasty and the sight seeing was so worth going.

Visited the garden light show December 23 - excellent organisational skills, booked tickets, good value. ample parking, no queue , great show of lights and fountains. Will return after the winter deluge to visit house and gardens in daylight!

lovely gardens, both formal and woodland, with lots of meandering paths and a choice of sun and shade. Very dog friendly with plenty of water bowls. Excellent restaurant and food, equally good cafe. A really great full day out.

A very beautiful park which is hosting a famous flower exhibition every summer. Unfortunately for me I haven’t had a chance to see this exhibition as I arrived a week before the venue. Plenty of activities as a rope walk, tennis court or cricket field. Massive monument with names of Taunton’s men [heroes] from a Great war. Park start with a huge metal gate which get open everyday just before 8AM till dusk. Wonderful historical water fountain right in the middle is a must to see.

Such a beautiful park hidden in between the busy city centre in Taunton. It was dog friendly and had a play area for children as well. Loads of green spaces and areas to walk around or benches to sit down and read a book. Had a pond in the middle as well. Lovely place to relax and reflect. This was just a 10 minute walk from the Taunton city centre. A must visit if you are in Taunton.

Beautifully kept Victorian style public park. Plenty of seats to watch the flow of pedestrians or to take a rest and enjoy the perfectly groomed flower beds. A nice place for a run around with younger children...feeding the ducks, using the swings, sandpit and cafe. Also the municipal golf course has a bar selling alcohol. Crazy golf good for a laugh too.

Pride 2022 at Vivary Park - such a fantastic experience! I didn't get enough photos but this particular set is of a couple getting married on stage by a celebrant! There really is something for everyone here - amazing Circus acts, dance troops, drag artists, and there was even a literary stage with LGBTQIA poetry! Fantastic event

Beautiful in all seasons, lots of activities in the park if you are bored. The squirrels and ducks are very friendly and there are lots of beautiful flowers and fountains.

Great park for all ages. Walking paths, play areas, a tennis court, and plenty of benches. There are toilets, but they are not incredibly clean. The small cafe and ice cream van are brilliant.

Best park to take little ones the cafe is a little gem all vegan and the ice cream place too on hot days. The miniature train rides are great fun too.

Always a lovely place to be whether just for walking,playing, picnics.There is a bandstand which is used throughout the summer too.

Fabulous find! A lovely park with so much to offer - open space, playgrounds, model train rides, tennis, bowls club, high ropes, cafe to name a few!

Nice Park to walk around. Medium size, with a little cafe.

Great little park. Absolutely amazing scenery, great views & the animals are so friendly.

I love visiting this park whenever I’m in Taunton and have the time. There’s loads of space to walk and plenty of benches if you need a rest. There’s even a bench that’s been placed on behalf of the Ricky Gervais Netflix show “After Life.” On this particular day, the flowers were in bloom and were absolutely gorgeous. There’s a large open field where you can walk, play or sun yourself. Even when the park is somewhat busy, it’s so large and spread out that you don’t notice it as much. Highly recommended if you’re anywhere near Taunton. It’s a fantastic escape from the busy high street. Oh, and yes, there are public toilets if needed.

The park is so much cleaner and better presented than it was when I was a teenager. Spent a lovely afternoon there in the sun today, and it was nice to see so many families having a lovely day out in the park!

Lovely park, loads of space for a picnic, lots of play area for the kids. A pond with ducks. Beautiful flowers. Great for a walk, relax and even a nice place for a photoshoot. There's cafes and ice cream vans also restrooms.

Biased as it is my local cricket club who I've supported for over 40 years. Very welcoming atmosphere and nearly always guaranteed an exciting encounter. Well worth a visit whether for County champs, one day or shorter format games (T20). Club shop also has something for everyone.

Cricket pitch smart will lovely views around. However the seating layout was hickle pickle and if you were sitting in the wrong place you'd be getting up and down for most of the match as people on the higher levels want to pass. I would suggest removing those seats or sell them with caution because this spoils people's enjoyment.

Great day .lots of outlets for food beers and coffee. Very hard to find good parking near the ground. Some old car parks have been closed .maybe park and ride the best option

Renewed season ticket for the upcoming season. Top class sporting venue with excellent corporate meeting facilities in the centre of Taunton.

Seating is a bit cramped. Very difficult to get in and out and horrendous queues for drinks etc. The cricket pitch itself very good with good signage etc, so easy to follow. Capacity crowd on the day I went but most tickets sold in advance so no real excuse for the lack of facilities

Lively cricket ground in the heart of Taunton featuring Somerset county cricket club, great views all over with a wide selection of food and drink on offer, from beer and cider and fish and chips to burgers. Fun for all the family and a reasonable price.

A nice cricket ground in the heart of Taunton. Staff are helpful and friendly. On match days, there's plenty of food and eatries within the ground. Toilets are situated in the main stands and some temporary ones when internationals are playing. There are drinks available however they could do with an extra coffee concession on sold out days as it takes a while to get a coffee.

1st time ive ever been to a cricket ground ,but it wont be the last i took bedminster cricket ladies to there final ,the somerset cup which they won .free parking for me and my bus because i took the team there .weather was nice 👌 the staff all round the ground were also very nice and helpful

Magnificent day / evening out with good friends.😀 😊 Great seats for a T20 Blast game in a lovely ground. 👌 😀 👍

We had a great time visiting on Sunday to watch Somerset v Middlesex. We took the train down from Bristol which took around 45 minutes. The Taunton Railway station is only about a 10 minute walk from the ground so I'd definitely recommend getting the train in. Security and all staff in the ground were really friendly. Plenty if places to get food or drinks inside and there were lots of extra activities put on for the children to enjoy. We picked a lovely day for it with the sun beating down all day. There were plenty of seats available so I'm guessing others decided to go to the beach instead of watching the game. The players were great with fans signing anything that was put in front of them. The mascot (Dragon) called stumpy I think could have walked around the ground a bit so kids could get photos, he just stood in the same place on one side of the pitch. We had a great day and will for sure come back again. Fingers crossed we get the win next time.

What a lovely cricket ground this is. We went because our team was playing Somerset and was surprised at how nice everything was. Seats were comfy, lots of places for food and drink too.

Great little ground with views over the Quantocks. Very good facilities with various food outlets. Only minor criticism is that they have removed my favourite vegan pasty from the menu. Replacedxeith a vegan roll which I found fsurly tasteless. Have yet to try the Bombay pie ( I think that's what it's called)

I had dinner here last night with one of my best friends. We eat out together a lot, and I honestly have to say I think this place had the best Italian food I have ever tasted. We had two starters and two mains, and every dish was exquisite. But even if the food hasn’t been perfection, which it was, the service alone would had deserved a 5 star review. Very kind and attentive servers. My friend knocked over a vase that had a rose in it, and before I had a chance to pick up my napkin, it he effortlessly been cleaned by a very kind server. And again he dropped his fork and without us even mentioning it, she’s replaced it. I felt like they genuinely wanted us to have to best time. So attentive and yet you didn’t feel like you were being over crowed by them. This is now my favourite restaurant in the area.

Amazing Italian restaurant with delicious homemade dishes and pasta. The staff are very kind and service is brilliant. 100% recommend! It’s our favourite Italian place in the South West 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Our first visit here and certainly won't be our last. Service was excellent, staff very friendly and polite. Lovely little restaurant with complementary olives and breadsticks on arrival. Very well priced food and full of amazing flavour. Every dish we were served was delicious and as a family we all tried each other's dishes to sample the wonderful flavours. We loved the fact that desserts weren't over priced too so we treated ourselves. Something we tend not to do as a family usually, but the price was very reasonable so we were happy to purchase. My only concern was that the cream on the tiramisu was extremely runny and not like any other tiramisu I've ever tried. Maybe it was supposed to be this way? It was still delicious though. Will definitely recommend and visit again.

Great food, generous portions. The service was excellent even though the restaurant was very busy. We were well looked after despite there being a large group and we were just a table for 2. The wine suggestion was very good and not what we would have chosen. We will definitely come back.

Lived in Taunton most of my adult life and never eaten here. After reading the reviews we decided to check it out last week and were back within a week. Have to say, both visits were fantastic. Stunning food, friendly fun service, and even though at first sight the building is a bit odd, when busy it generates a really vibrant enjoyable atmosphere. (And we saw some Italian people we know eating there, always a good sign..) Definitely coming back for a third visit soon. (Forgot to say, exceptional value too)

Lovely atmosphere, amazing food and friendly service. I recommend Ciao Amore to anyone. I recommend steak and pork in mushroom sauce. Delicious

As a Italian I can say the food presented and made was as a authentic Italian way. Service was amazing, kind and very quick. Atmosphere same as in one Italian restaurant and very cozy. 100% would recommend and definitely when we will come around we will visit again. Keep up the great work. Well done!

Since Ciao Amore is closed on Tuesdays we decided to have a pre-birthday celebration 🥳 today... The place is very simple and staff are friendly and the food is magnifico👌🏻. I love that you get a lot of food as well for the price. It’s definitely a good choice and we are definitely going back. 💕

Went here for my birthday with family and it was so lovely! Food was wonderful. Would love to go back soon.

I had a long day at work and decided to go out to Ciao Amore with my friend because we had heard a lot about this place already. The ambiance was quite warm and the staff is so welcoming. We got the best place to sit and were offered the menu as soon as we got in. As it’s quite difficult to understand the Italian dishes, we were offered some guidance form the staff. I ordered Lemon chicken and my friend ordered the sea food pasta. Both of them were equally mouth watering and they looked so tempting with their presentation. The aroma and the taste deserves full marks. We ended our meal with cheesecake and Raspberry panna cota which again were so delicious. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

We went Ciao on Wednesday evening (a great night to choose if you prefer places a little quieter) my first visit and the food and service was excellent.. portion size was good and all freshly cooked. Much better than the usual chain restaurants... Good value..

On entering this establishment we were a little concerned despite the recommendations as the decor is somewhat dated and reminiscent of a 70s cafe. However the food was surprisingly tasty with generous portions and the pizzas looked massive Pictures don't do it justice as look more bland than they tasted and biggest pleasure was the size of the bill and the friendly clientele. We didn't however risk trying the Soave😄

Not good value. Ordered starters and a main. Dishes did come presented very well, and the service was friendly but intermittent. I would go again as it is one of the better options in Taunton for Indian food. I didn't feel like I was having takeaway quality food at a restaurant - as I have felt at other Indian Restaurants in Taunton. The dishes were not particularly spicy, so if you like spice - make sure to mention it!

Authentic Indian cuisine made by talented chef with perfect balance of spices. Loved the homemade pickles served, full of flavours. Pineapple pickle took my heart. Great concept of serving Thali enough quantity for two people. We had lamb for main course and Maachi Amritsari for starters, would highly recommend it. Heavenly desert menu, we relished Gulab jamun served with ice cream. Great ambience lovely Bollywood music playlist. Friendly and kind staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the dinner. Best Indian restaurant so far in Taunton.

Arrived unbooked on a very busy night. Place was buzzing, wonderful atmosphere. The food and service were wonderful. The young girl who served us was happy and smiling despite the business. I hope she gets the tip! Well done

Absolutely sublime food served by a welcoming and friendly team. The homemade pickles with the poppadoms include a beetroot pickle and curried pineapple, both of which are beautiful. The lamb Rogan Josh served with rice, Bombay aloo and dhal work together perfectly with no element overpowering another. The naans are light and fresh and not swamped in oil as some can be.

We had an absolutely wonderful meal at this restaurant..what a gem. We are from Bristol and no restaurant has ever come close to our home fav restaurants in the Midlands or even Southall or even Punjab for that matter. Great ambience. Great staff and absolutely delicious food. Thank you very much! 11/10 we will be back soon! Thank you again and take care Navdeep and Family.

An absolute gem of a restaurant. After meaning to visit for some time, we finally visited this evening for an early dinner, and it did not disappoint. The staff were friendly and welcoming, but in a calm and relaxing way - it was the perfect level of service. The food was incredible - you could tell it had been cooked fresh and each dish/side (we had the butter chicken, rice, dahl, bombay potatoes and a naan) carried its own unique flavour and spice combination. Really appreciated the small(er) menu - some restaurants can feel overwhelming with the amount of choice, but here you really felt as though each dish had been perfected and was loved by the chefs for it to feature on the menu. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

After wanting to visit for years, we finally found the time to visit and were not disappointed. This isn't your average curry. The flavours were all amazing, everything was super fresh and the chutneys that came with the popadums were epic. It is a little pricey, and don't expect the normal "English Indian takeaway' portion sizes. This is proper homemade Indian, but it's worth it. Only niggle was the food coming out extremely quickly, and the staff gossiping behind the bar (obviously normal and totally fine) but maybe not when there is a table literally right in front.

Wonderful little restaurant. Slightly unusual for an Indian restaurant (in my experience) for having a very short menu that changes frequently. Dishes feel very authentic, not generic. We shared a mixed platter starter, followed by butter chicken and lamb rogan mains. Both main dishes included rice plus individual servings of daal and aloo. Service was also excellent, staff seem to really care about their customers. Casual, unpretentious decor makes for a relaxed experience. Definitely recommended.

Service was really good but the food was quite bland but very spicy to cover for a lack of other flavour. I don’t mind a bit of heat but we chose the least spicy options on a very limited menu. Chicken came with bones in, which can happen but one piece was a large sharp piece of bone that really should have been spotted. Portions are also very small for very high prices.

The best Indian meal we've had in UK for a very long time, if ever and by some margin. It's not cheap, but IMHO well worth the extra. Everything is homemade by a clearly talented Chef who presented the food well and had it served on hot plates promptly with a big smile. If I was to nitpick I'd suggest a stronger auto-door closer to keep the entrance door shut, the cold night air out and the warm and friendly atmosphere in. See you soon......:-)

Best curry restaurant I've found by a long way, not encountered anywhere else that makes such delicious curries as Guddi and Gikki and they're always consistently fantastic. Extremely filling portion sizes too and so full of flavour! The staff are great and super friendly too

I visited mid week early December for a small work Christmas meal. Sadly we were pretty much the only people in there, not that I would want it packed and noisy but it created a lack of atmosphere. No fault of the venue, more a reflection of people not spending or getting home deliveries. Place was very clean and tidy, service was extremely friendly, helpful and polite. Menu is too good 😂, everyone wanted everything but eventually we all decided whilst secretly hoping someone else hadn't made a better decision. Short wait time for food and all came together. Great presentation and excellent food. I was surprised there were no desserts on offer as even after this huge offering, a couple of us would have indulged. Overall recommended and enjoyed.

Burgers are OK, chips not that great, could have better options, like sweet potato fries or wedges. Salad pretty rubbish. Or upgrade chips to dirty ones? Mac and cheese is more like pasta, wasn't impressed with that part of the order, at all. Gravy not the best tasting, bit over powering herb flavour. No desert menu. Could do way better, not sure I will rush back. Nice location, but building work going on, so I am sure the area will improve once that's finished. Overall pretty disappointing.

Amazing proper Chicken/burger place! The food is unreal and the service from Alex was next level, will definitely be going back, there's too many good things on the menu so I need to try them all!

We were served by Jake and Alisha, they were absolutely lovely and super friendly and chatty. They were the perfect servers. I called up earlier in the day to see if I had to book a table and Jake was very helpful. We will definitely be back :)))

Got eat the bird after eating there for years. I am disappointed in there quality now Chicken pieces classic used to be good and 5 pieces. Now very small and only put in 4. Burger bun was hard and stale. Very unhappy there getting worse 😕

Perfect spot to slip out for lunch during the cricket. Really friendly staff with speedy service. The chicken burger with brie was outrageously good, my only complaint was the size of the fries (not the portion), most of them were really small, the end of a batch maybe.

What a wonderful meal! I can't explain how sumptuous and delicious it was. Jake was an outstanding server and looked after our every need. Friendly, approachable and could recommend menu items which we did try ☺️ We are so stuffed I'm not sure we can leave! Can't wait to come back

The Bulgogi special burger at Eat the Bird was an absolute flavor bomb! 🍔😋 Every bite was a delightful journey through a burst of unique and delicious flavors. It's a shame this gem might not be on the current menu, but I'm so glad I got to experience it in mid-October. The twist on the classic burger with Bulgogi was a stroke of culinary genius. The blend of flavors and the quality of each ingredient were simply exceptional. It's the kind of dish that sticks in your memory, leaving you longing for another taste. While it might not be available now, if Eat the Bird ever brings back this masterpiece or introduces something similar, it's a must-try for anyone seeking a memorable and satisfying burger experience. Kudos to Eat the Bird for crafting such a remarkable burger! 🍔👏

Very welcoming restaurant in Taunton with amazing food. The first time we went there we felt most welcoming by the staff even though the place was busy as they made time for us and ensured we had a great meal. Been there a few times now and always been good. Been back again (Dec 2023, and again Feb 2024) - menu slightly changed and still great service and great burgers.

Burgers were really good! Definitely recommend the dirty Ronald for a classic double cheeseburger. The chicktator was a very unique taste, the ginger complimented the chicken nicely, although it is a bit spicy so prepare for that. The cheesy louisiana chips were great as well. I would be careful of the garlic chips, maybe something to avoid unless you are all having it or trying to ward off vampires. Would go back again for sure.

Food was unreal, had a great time. Got two burgers and split them to enjoy both. Great selection and just the right price. Highly recommend.

I've never had a bad meal! The staff are always lovely and the chicken is delicious. 100% recommend the Cheese Louisiana fries!! I'm lucky enough to work just around the corner from them too, not ashamed to say our office have this delivered more than we probably should!

One of the best places we have been in Taunton. Really good food topped with a fantastic service. By far a wonderful service to what one would expect from a burger joint. It was very busy when we got there and instead of saying so, they said, "let's see how we can sneak you in". That already won us over. They could have said they were full. Service and friendliness felt personal and not a conveyor approach. Really well done guys and girls!!

Very nice restaurant. We had a margarita pizza and a fish and chips. The place is really cozy and the staff efficient and helpful. Fish very crispy in the outside and chips well done. The pizza was really tasty.

An excellent blend of old world tradition and modern world comfort. We had drinks and lunch in the Brazz. A giid selection of cocktails and wines. Very good food and and friendly helpful team to serve it all.

Plenty of space inside and good variety in the menu. A bit overpriced although some of the dishes are quite special. Recommend trying the desserts. Fish and chips could improve with higher quality chips.

We had a lovely evening here for my mother in laws birthday. We enjoyed the occasion, the wine was super, service wonderful, a nice place. The food was OK, I'm not sure if it lived up to my expectations though, i was expecting better food.

Staff was friendly, but ....We ordered the bacon burger as we needed a quick bite before a concert. Not happy with the food at all, extremely dry meat ,no garnish of any kind on the plate, just a dry bun with a burger and some chips in a seperate pot. A small salade doesn't cost a fortune,but does so much more to a plate then this. A big disappointment.

Brazz offers consistently high quality food and great service. I visited yesterday after having a rubbish day. The guy behind the bar was really chipper and as it was quiet introduced me to some beers that I wouldn't ordinarily have tried. For food I had the Somerset Chicken Kyiv for main course and the Chocolate Wagon Wheel for dessert. My goodness they are both so flavourful and tasty...in fact I've had them before and this is my second time as I knew it would cheer me up!

We had an enjoyable luncheon. The food was good. Staff were helpful. Patrons were friendly, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

I rarely write negative reviews. But today I feel I have to. The design and ambience of Brazz is lovely. Beautiful decor and lighting. On the other hand the food…. I cannot comment for non vegan food but paying £18 for a single courgette fritter the size of a ping pong ball and half an uncooked courgette (complete with stalk) sprinkled with pea shoots and a balsamic glaze is simply not cool. It didn’t come with any substantial side, no protein, or carbohydrates. Simply half a crunchy courgette with a small fritter (which was actually very nice). Perhaps make the fritter the main and the courgette a side, roasted with spices? The dessert I was grateful to see- a plum cheesecake! But no. It was a raw yoghurt / granola tasting breakfast bowl that cost £10. It’s really easy to make plants delicious and most places do. Please please work on your plant based offering - the cost was shocking for something that was so basic, and quite frankly I could have made at home… but wouldn’t because it’s not 1972

Fantastic place, amazing food, and our friendly waiter Yiorgos (George) was helpful, professional and attentive in spite of being incredibly busy. The steak was excellent, and the panna cotta absolutely divine (thanks for the tip, George!). Cutlery came in sealed plastic bags and staff all wore masks which was very reassuring considering the current situation.

It was a very enjoyable experience for the first time ever here. The service was quick and the food was really good at a reasonable price. Well attracted by the interior design

Expensive , small portions. Tables not cleared away when empty. This was on a Wednesday evening when it was not very busy.staff were pleasant and helpful.

The food was absolutely terrific! The flaming chaurizo was super delicious and also looked epic (the fire video), and both the beef and lamb skewers were also amazing! The house special cocktail is very yummy, but only if you are a fan of very sweet drinks. Also, I think it is important to mention that the portions are quite large. We struggled to finish the food, despite it being amazing, just because of the amount. Would really recommend this place - food is terrific and the atmosphere is very charming. A surprising find and one to definitely visit, if you're about.

We had our meal on the 30/3/24. The first thing we commented on when arriving was the atmosphere which was welcoming and exciting. We then ordered our drinks, followed by food all within good time and were served very quickly. All the staff were friendly and warm towards their customers and very attentive to any requests. The food was incredible, we loved all of it. Everything was full of flavour and at a reasonable price. The best part for me was the dessert. The cheese cake was to die for, honestly I've been craving another one ever since! We booked with The Skewer House as a celebration after not seeing my Dad for so long and it was a brilliant atmosphere for this occasion. The experience of having food on the skewers definitely gave us something to talk about as it was something new for all of us and we love it! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Been here twice now, great food and attentive staff, not to mention a nice atmosphere as well, definitely recommend it!

I'd been told this place was worth visiting many times and finally booked it a couple of weeks ahead, we were not disappointed! Food was lovely and the waiting staff very friendly and accommodating. Meat came out on skewers that hung on the table and was really tasty. Will be booking again for sure.

Skewer House is my favourite eatery in Taunton. Anytime we have friends or family come to visit I try to bring them here. Note to readers: book as early as you can because they fill up quickly. 📖 So far we have tried lamb, chicken, prawn and steak kebabs. Have yet to try the flaming chorizo dish, which is equally exciting to see sat on adjacent tables ablaze. 🔥 The decor is authentic and atmospheric. Notably the melted down candles that greet the entrance and dried garlands set the tone of the evening - transported from damp British high street to the sub-tropical Mediterranean. 🌺 Food has always been cooked well and sauces are delicious. A large choice of side-dishes makes it hard to pick just a few. We tend to go for the one skewer with 2 sides deal. Brought my partner's mum here who identifies as a "fussy eater", and even she complimented her food. 💁 Lastly but certainly not least.... Poncha cocktails! Highly recommend, but beware... One may lead to another. 🤩🍹🥭

Excellent restaurant, really friendly and helpful staff and the food... absolutely delicious, good sangria and excellent service. Definitely recommended

Great food and atmosphere. I hope they will continue having success and open other restaurants

Visited for the first time with friends recently. Really lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. There is only one option for a vegetarian, but I am grateful for one! I ordered the halloumi skewer House special, so I could share sides with my son. It still came with a flaming chorizo sausage as a starter, which I thought was odd. Luckily, my friends were happy to eat that! The portions were humongous, and the food was tasty. I really enjoyed it. The cheesecakes looked incredible too. Looking forward to bring my husband here.

Skewer House in Taunton is a fiery paradise that brings the true flavours of Portugal straight to the table! The smoky chorizos, still aflame, are a captivating start that embodies the essence of Portuguese cuisine. The blend of spices and that perfect smoky kick is simply fantastic. The lamb skewers were a scrumptious delight, capturing the essence of Portugal right in the heart of Taunton. Juicy, expertly grilled, and bursting with authentic flavours, each bite was a promise of culinary excellence. And let's talk about the lemon meringue at Skewer House—a sweet treat that's pure magic! 🍋✨ The tangy zest of the lemon perfectly balanced with the fluffy meringue was a delightful finale to a fantastic meal. It's the kind of dessert that melts in your mouth and leaves a lasting impression. For anyone seeking an authentic taste journey through Portugal's culinary wonders, Skewer House is an absolute gem. From fiery chorizos to perfectly grilled skewers and the heavenly lemon meringue, every dish promises a delightful experience! 🇵🇹🍴

The food came out very quick and very tender. The atmosphere was very chilled and the staff very friendly. We would definitely book again and recommend to all to give a go. You won’t be disappointed.

Everything about the skewer house is just brilliant! The food is absolutely gorgeous, the staff are attentive (but not in an annoying way!), the restaurant is beautiful. I’ve already booked to come back, I’d highly recommend to everyone.. oh and their cheesecakes are to die for!!

5 years later the place doesn't disappoint. Everything is the same, atmosphere, music and food. Only 4 stars for food because it cools down too quickly and the grilled courgettes were raw. However, you are up for a lovely meat dinner!

One of my favourite places, delicious food, lovely atmosphere and amazing cocktails 😍

Was told about this place over and over by many of my colleagues at how lovely the food is. And wow were they right. First time was the Xmas party and then in the new year. Everything I've had so far had been amazing. Have had the 3 course on each occasion. I'm in the process of working my way through the menu. The staff are great and the place has a great ambience. Don't take my word for it , go try it you won't regret it. The food is LUSH 👌😁

A return visit (all be it some years ago was the last time). We sat at 8 pm mid week, and the restaurant had a few tables of people eating and a gentle buzz. To begin with, we had a young man serving us, and he was fab, helpful etc, but this changed (I guess staff got sent home as we were the only table in after half an hour). Starters were nice. You cook your own sausage or Halloumi! Main courses came and were again nice, but by this time, there was a definite chill in the air like a door was open? It's not often you need to pop a coat on to eat your dinner. At this point, it was if we were forgotten for half an hour or so. We had desserts included in our dinner, but these were not offered, and when I came to pay, I asked and was told absolutely we had to pay for them 🤔. The food was alright and nice, not as good as before, service needs some work on, keep the place warm, and you will have happy guests. It's not cheap to eat out in general. The Skewer house is on the higher side. Need some more value added in, I feel.
