The Greyhound Inn - Taunton Deane

Stayed just the one night last week and we were very impressed with the whole experience. We arrived early evening and checked into our rooms (Curland Room and our friends in the Staple Fitzpaine room) before heading down for dinner which we had booked in advance. The food is absolutely fantastic, cooked fresh to order and served piping hot on very warm plates. Our room was lovely and spacious with everything we needed and the king size bed was extremely comfortable ensuring we both slept well. The full English breakfast was also superb and there were cereals, yoghurts and fruit juice available too. A final comment must go to the staff everyone we spoke to from checking in to checking out were polite, friendly and very helpful, an absolute credit to the Greyhound Inn. We have already recommended this pub to our friends and family should they take a trip to the Taunton area. Just a shame we couldn't have stayed longer.

We booked and came as a family of 3 for a Sunday carvery. The pub itself is in a lovely location and has amazing decor inside. The staff were all very friendly and kind/welcoming. They all accommodated for any requests and the service was very quick which was nice. The food was delicious and well presented too. Would definitely come back again soon.

Food was lovely The staff were great except the potato it was powered potato . Considering it was evening this is unacceptable. Its not time consuming to do mashed potato with real potatoes. We were unsure if to go again after our last visit where we had Sunday lunch with no Yorkshire pudding which they got for us and they were frozen

We stayed here for one night while making a brief visit to family in Taunton. We arrived relatively late and had a couple of drinks at the bar, but we didn't dine at the pub, so this is a review of the Greyhound solely as a B&B. In short, lovely cosy-yet-spacious room, delightful setting, good breakfast, but let down by a lumpy and unsupportive mattress which meant we both slept badly. We did mention the problem when we checked out. Our comments were acknowledged, but nothing was offered by way of an apology or a good-will gesture such as waiving our bar bill. Such a shame, everything else was great, and I don't lightly leave negative reviews for small independent businesses, but a bad night's sleep due to a poor quality bed is not something that can be easily overlooked, particularly when paying a premium compared to Premiere Inn etc.

Comfortable pub and good service but the menu never changes, no specials, no variation whatsoever so if you use this as a regular meeting point you’ll be as bored with the choices as we are.
