The Moat House, Taunton

This pub has a lot of significance for me - I met my fianc� when he worked here, and proposed to him at table 16, but it's only since we've moved to Bristol that I've realised just how good the Moat House really is.
Despite the large range of upmarket cocktail bars and restaurants nearby, we haven't managed to find anything like the standards of excellence J.P. and Jane consistently maintain through attention to detail and sheer hard work.
Yes, that's them running about like lunatics on a Saturday lunchtime.
So go and see what a pub can be with a little vision and a lot of effort - I guarantee you'll be going home wishing they'd franchise to your home town.
Oh, and try the club sandwich - the best I've had on two continents.
