user reviews of the Bathpool Inn, Taunton

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Someone has spent a small fortune on refurbishing this pub. However the staff are completely useless so even on a Saturday night the place was less than half full, and its a big place. The beer was sour and undrinkable and the food just vile. On top of this the service was dire and more than this, no one seemed to care. Whatever happened to professionalism in staff.
I cant see this lasting for very long, either it will go bust, or more likely the manager will get the sack and they'll try with someone else.

Now reopened after a major refurb and called "The New Mill"
Inside it is as you would expect: Leather sofas, big cushions etc. looks dated already.
Beer choice:- Doom Bar, Bombadier, etc. Not particularly well presented and out of condition. Otherwise the standard range of eurofizz lagers
Food is straight out of the break bros catalogue.

due to re open under the Mitchell & Butler brand vintage inn, so not much of an improvement on its current status as closed. Still, with 100s of new houses going up in the area there will be a ready market of people looking for crappy service, which they will be sure to fine here

Closed down and falling down too by all accounts. And just as about 500 new homes have been built in a nearby development. Shame.

This pub has its name on the outside in big letters.
Unfortunately the "L" has fallen off so it now reads "BATHPOO" which sounds like the sort of thing that happens when you misjudge a fart.
Quite appropriate for this place to be honest.

Not very impressed at all the menus were on scruffy bits of paper and for the price of the food expected and nice meal when my meal came it was of very poor quality and there was not any table shades and it was very hot, the staff didnt seem to know what they were doing and seemed to lack politness and motivation if i ever had a pub i would say to never go to it would be this one which is a shame as could see this being a place with alot of potential

Souless place catering mainly for diners.
Drinks seemed bland although this may be just a reflection on the atmosphere of the whole place.
Didn't eat but the menus seemed mundane.

This is a very large pub with a food orentation. There is smallish area by the bar that seems a little cozier than the sprawling restaurant. Otter seems the ale of choice. The wines are on tap. It seems like it must be to big to be a local, but at closing time on a recent weeknight there were several tables of drinkers, encompassing all generations, and everyone seemed freindly enough. There was only one lone drinker at the bar, I didn't notice any barstools.
