The Allerford Inn
About
The Allerford Inn is a modern country pub perched just outside Taunton, offering a welcoming atmosphere for the whole family. Guests can enjoy a relaxed beer‑drinking experience in two spacious beer gardens – one overlooking the local trains and a larger rear garden with ample outdoor seating. Inside, there are two private dining rooms and a cosy log‑burner lounge for intimate gatherings. The pub is famous for its Sunday carvery featuring three hand‑carved joins of local Somerset beef, a selection of freshly cooked vegetables, homemade gravy, and Yorkshire puddings, catering to both vegetarians and gluten‑free diners. The menu throughout the week offers a range of hearty pub classics such as burgers, pies, and a pizza variety, all prepared with high‑quality local ingredients. In addition to the core dining experience, the inn hosts a variety of events, including themed nights, functions, and a kid’s play farm, making it a vibrant community hub for locals and visitors alike.
