With so many places to eat in Taunton, it can be tough deciding where to go! Our team have created a guide on our favourite restaurants near us that guests of our self-catering accommodation in Somerset, or visitors in Taunton and Bridgwater can enjoy.
Each restaurant we recommend is also a trusted food award finalist, in either the Somerset Life Food & Drink Awards or The Trencherman’s Guide. The latter is best described by Michael Caines MBE: “Trencherman’s celebrates exquisite, creative cooking and pitch perfect service, and it’s what the guide has stood for since it was created by a small group of chefs 25 years ago. And we maintain the quality of the guide by only inviting restaurants that meet the strict scoring criteria.”
