The Rock Inn in Taunton Deane

Excellent food! I've just moved to the area and have struggled to find anywhere good to eat, this place hasn't even shown up when I've been looking online, came across it entirely by chance. Its by far the best place I've eaten at in Somerset, and I probably had the nicest plate of food I have had anywhere in the last 2 years on Friday night. Its no exaggeration to say I've eaten at every UK 3 star Michelin restaurant and most 2 Star - I would be just as happy spending my money here. Great value for money, great food.

A warm welcome upon entering. A beautiful cosy building. Very friendly and efficient staff. Top quality 10/10 food for all three courses. The whole family were very happy and you really helped make the night for my Grandparents. Thank you and see you soon.

Really top quality food and fantastic, friendly, helpful staff. Thanks for giving us all a brilliant Sunday lunch

Asked to sit outside if we were going to give the dog any food. Then told we had to pay in case we legged it and didn’t pay. Good was not nice and wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

Best food I had in Somerset. We went twice during our stay once on Sunday for a roast ...which was the best Roast I have had in a long time I had pork but the veggie option looked tasty and other diners seemed to really enjoy it. We went again during the week and the excellent food standard continued. Food was delicious and it was a lovely ambiance. Sunday was busy but being out of season during week was okay however during holiday season I would imagine would be fully booked. A great experience and well worth a visit

Just stayed here and had a lovely time. The food reviews are not overrated. Probably one of the best pub meals we’ve had in ages. The peppercorn sauce with the steaks was a standout favourite. The wine list is really nice. The hosts are really welcoming and they run a tight ship! Our room was cute, little bit of noise from the road if you’re sensitive to such things. We had a bath tub with a shower head but you’re asked not to stand up to avoid covering the place in water. It was a quant stay but the food & drinks really made it amazing; freshly baked muffins waiting for us in the room! Highly recommend.

Wow, what a great restaurant, great service, very friendly, very welcoming, perfect timing with the food, staff attentive to just the right amount, lovely polite and helpful. I had the Devon beef veg and chips, amazing, cooked to perfection, with lovely presentation. Old stile Inn, nice décor, great setting by a stream. Recommend booking as was quite full on a Friday. Check out the menu on line, for something much more upmarket than a pub.Had a great evening, even dogs are allowed so had some dogs to fuss.Couldn't fault it. Left Very full and very happy.

Absolutely amazing place to stay. So rare to find a place that combines a homely and cheerful pub atmosphere, almost michelin style, five star cooking and a 450 years of history in the building itself. (Which tied in perfectly with our historic national trust weekend trip) everything we love in one place, our stay couldn’t have been better. Definitely recommend for anyone and 10/10 would love to come here again.

Food is wonderful and the people work very hard and are lovely. Recommended booking ahead as it books up early. If you're staying over check breakfast times ad they are currently only serving between 09:00 and 09:30....

Great food and attentive staff. Unfortunately an evening meal should be a relaxing and unrushed experience and this was far from it. Every course was rushed through to the point that as soon as plates were cleared the next course was served. We gave feedback but was told "This is the way we do things here". And there was me thinking it was all about the customer! It's a real shame because it was so close to being the perfect venue.
