The Castle at Taunton

 

Fine Dining

The Castle is renowned for its fine cuisine, and was voted as the 'Best Restaurant Out-of-London 2002' by Tatler Magazine.

Richard Guest, the Head Chef at The Castle, was appointed with a mission, not merely to safeguard, but to enhance our jealously guarded reputation as one of the 20 best eating-houses in the country.

Richard brings a bold, innovative style of cooking to the castle's kitchen and is extending our British culinary repertoire in some exciting directions.

Dishes to look out for are the Jellied Tomato Consomme, shaped like a pyramid and with just the right amount of wobble! The Saddle of Roe Deer comes with baked squash, creamed leeks, girolles, bacon and 'deep fried sauce' and our Lemon Curd Chantilly with honeycomb ice cream is very special indeed.

From our very British cheese board make sure you try the Elmhirst - it looks like Brie but infinitely better! You will also find an excellent room service menu offering lighter pasta dishes and the best sirloin steak we can buy.
