"Throughout the meal it was clear to me that the dining room staff were working flat out and with obvious calm efficiency but they still had time for customers. The whole performance was excellent."

Major B, North Petherton

The Castle Taunton

Today, The Castle’s kitchen is headed by Richard Guest who carries the torch for The Castle’s reputation for outstanding English food, inspired by the produce of the region.

The Castle believes in sourcing the finest quality ingredients for its restaurants: Fish and seafood from Brixham; game, feathered and furred, from nearby Exmoor and The Quantock Hills; fruits, vegetables and herbs grown especially for the hotel by a smallholder five miles from the door; Somerset’s famous artisan cheeses. ‘Local’ is the hotel's watchword…and it’s won them high praise and many laurels. In fact, they use Somerset food and drink where possible and The Castle salutes its suppliers, from the traditional to the entrepreneurial newcomer.

To eat in The Castle Restaurant is a civilized and pleasurable experience in which to celebrate a special occasion with family, friends or colleagues. It might be a wedding anniversary, a birthday, a welcome home party, a congratulations party or even a group of ‘foodies’ out for a treat - a frequent occurrence. Where else do you have the option of either one of the finest restaurants in the country or a vibrant, trend-setting brasserie?
