The Orchard Inn

Looking for an excellent meal and a warm welcome in the attractive town of Taunton? Look no further than The Orchard Inn. Bright and airy, the interior brings together traditional wooden ceiling beams with tasteful decorations in a collaboration that’s a treat to behold. In the warmer months, the pleasant garden and shaded patio prove an irresistible allure and quickly fill up with happy visitors basking in the sun. In winter, the restaurant is a cosy retreat from the elements, tempting guests with the promise of hearty fare and a wellstocked bar.

The menu boasts the likes of rich potted crab with toasted ciabatta and crisp deep-fried Brie with cranberry sauce. For mains, expect a choice of popular pub classics and sophisticated delicacies. While foodies can indulge in grilled sea bass and Mediterranean vegetable lasagne, traditionalists may prefer beer-battered cod and chips, or the homemade beefburger with smoky bacon and melted Cheddar. The Sunday carvery is a popular option too, but be sure to book as it fills up fast. For those seeking a light lunch there’s an excellent selection of panini, sandwiches and jacket potatoes stuffed with tasty fillings. Guests will also find a dedicated children’s menu with fun games and tempting options to entice even the smallest of appetites.
