I've never been to The Half Moon before so I didn't have any expectations. I learnt from the…read morelandlord that the place had changed manager three times over the last three years and he was hoping to break that trend. He's brought a new team of chefs in with him, so I'm told. Those chefs certainly seem to be earning their money as they turned out excellent gastro pub style food. Not quite fine dining but not far off. Looking at the menu I could have chosen any of the starters or mains. I went for the goats cheese "mousse" for starters and fish from the specials board for mains. The portion of goats cheese I had was very generous (some places only give you a small amount because of cost I guess) although I felt it was a bit heavy to be a mousse. It was really nice all the same. The fish was perfectly cooked and the pommes anna was a perfect accompaniment. The pub's decor probably didn't quite match the quality of the food and I think some people will be surprised how good the food it. The was a really good range on the menu from unusual items (I'd never had samphire before) to regular items such as burgers and fish and chips. I'd definitely return and have already recommended it to friends. Check it out yelpers.

A great place to eat just outside of Taunton. I've been on an evening as well as on a Sunday for…read morelunch. They seem to be good for families, although I don't have kids and nor do I particularly like them.. So that's probably a negative for me. The evening menu was great, quite pubby with the fish and chips, burger and steak, but they threw in some nicer things like scallops with cauliflower and bacon, plaice with caper butter and something else that I didn't order... It's not too pricey, so well worth a trip if you're in Somerset. As for Sunday, it was refreshing to see a pub that actually knows what a decent Sunday lunch is. It had non-standard veg going on, like beetroot and spinach. The potatoes weren't greasy and old like we're all used to in pubs. The yorkies were awesome too. I'll go again for sure.

This restaurant is just off Taunton and towards the bus station. There is a car park through the…read morearch way which is convenient. It is next to Dorothy Perkins and Next.

I would recommend it for couples who want a romantic meal together is is quite expensive but if you want to a tasty meal in a beautiful environment then this is for you. I think it is worth visiting when in Taunton if there is a limited number in the party.

It took us a while to decide as all their mains and starters are promising! My grilled cheese was perfectly cooked , and the slow cooked pork belly was the best I've had in a British restaurant! They had also a good selection of wines, but I can't comment on those too, I was on a alcohol free night. Would definitely go back next time I'm there!!!

So. After a long time coming, I made it to the Willow Tree last night. It was the final restaurant…read morein Taunton that I hadn't been to, so I was excited as well as disappointed that I'd gone through them all. We had a warm welcome in there and we were shown to our table right away. We were a table of six - four chefs and two publicans. It's tiny in here, but that really adds to the ambience and charm of the place. I'd imagine that I'd feel a bit self conscious if I was on a date with a hot lady, the tables seem pretty close.. An awkward silence would be noticed by all the other diners. As for the food though, it was really good. I had a game terrine to start. Roast duck with dauphinoise for mains and a sticky chocolate cake for pud. We had a measly bit of delicious home made bread as well, I like to be in charge of my own bread, not be offered one slice, however delicious is it. We went on a Wednesday, so it was under £30 for three courses. That's great value if you think about it. A duck breast would cost maybe £16-17 elsewhere, then split the other two courses between the rest. We spent a fortune, but we had lots of wine. All in all a very nice place, and something Taunton needs to hang on to before it is totally overrun with faux Italian joints. I'll go again for sure. Cheers.
