Dear Dr_Pangloss, Please let me know what pubs in Taunton you think are OK.
As far as I'm concerned this is the best pub in Taunton, bar none, by a country mile.

Unbelievable!
Went (well tried to) for a few beers and some food with a party of 8 from work at about 8:00pm one midweek night only to be told that because they'd been quiet all day they'd decided to close early. Well correct me if I'm wrong but pubs and restaurants tend to be quiet in the day when most of us are out at work. It's in the evenings we want to go for a beer and something to eat. And we weren't the only party turned away. Another group of 6 arrived just after us. So that's 14 for beer and food, maybe �300 plus turned away. With management like that this'll be the next in a long line of Taunton pubs to go under.
As I said - unbelievable!

Very average ale. Very average food. Even a very average quiz on Thursdays. All in all an extremely average pub. Except when there was a right old fracas about the quiz when two teams complained bitterly that their answers were right and the quiz mistress (landlady) was wrong. So the landlady threw a right strop and threatened never to run a quiz again. Talk about cutting your nose off to spite your face. Thursday quiz nights are the only times there's more than a handful of people in the place. But with apologies made, a calm ascended and the quiz continues. Still, it was entertaining while it lasted. I wish all quiz nights were like that one.

The Crown and Sceptre, Taunton
Only had one real ale on which was not particularly good and then that ran out. Only decent for watching Sky Sports footy as they generally have a couple of matches on simultaneously.

I've seen some pretty bad reviews but I think this is a decent pub. Good beers. One of only a couple of decent pubs in the whole of Taunton.

Probably the worst Wetherspoons I've been in. Food takes agesand is of poor standard. Hardly any staff behind the bar. Beer poor. I won't be back.
