Love the Plough - fantastic pies, minty mushy peas, curly fries and great live music, sooooo lucky this is so close by, my fave pub easily.
Great little pub. Lots of real ale. We live in Penzance but always use this pub when are up in Somerset which is quite a bit.
My favourite pub in Taunton. A great selection of ciders and the best (homemade) pork scratchings ever!
Best pub in Taunton. Serving the best cider

Made my best friends birthday really special. Amazing pub with amazing characters.
Saw Palooka 5 here Friday past and enjoyed the whole experience and the venue was great backed up by great personal service by all involved. Loved it and will definitely visit again.
Interesting and very independent pub. Huge selection of local ciders and a weird and wonderful set of characterful customers who were ever ready to have a chat.
Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area, and maybe even if you have an hour to wait at the railway station as it's only 3-5 mins walk from the place.
Love this place. Pies are always superb - last night we had butternut squash and spinach pies - FAB!! The service was great - what can I say about the lovely barman Max? - wonderful! Charming, helpful and just delightful 😊
Came here for a pint with the lads. Very layed back and relaxed pub. No dramas. Great for grabbing a pint 🍺
Nice, vibey little pub.
Attended last weekend for a music event run by friends, had a great night, no issues. However that was my first visit so can't say what it's like when it's in 'normal' pub mode but I'm sure it's fine! Decent range of beers, I mostly stuck to the Quantock 'QPA' session IPA on keg, which was very tasty. I worked my way through a fairly respectable number of pints and felt fine the next day, what more does one need!
The Plough was recommended to me, by a friend who lives locally, for the selection of local ciders. Bar-lady kindly offered a few tasters before I settled on a pint of Harry's Scrummage Medium at just £4, which seemed very good value coming from London. Head went pleasingly wobbly after just the one pint. 😁
Popped in for a drink before a gig. Awesome looking bar area, great choice of ciders which all look very appealing. Staff were very friendly, will visit again. Great music playing.
Lovely quirky pub with a great selection of local ciders! Well worth a visit!
Only one real ale on straight out the barrel on the bar. Long narrow pub with plenty of cider on offer. Food nice and filling, fast service.
Proper local pub atmosphere. Quirky set up inside. Small efficient bar with a good selection of ales and local cider. Dog friendly!
First of all- When I was looking at places to visit in Taunton I saw the Image of the two people smiling on ladders by the sign and I immediately wanted to go there. I was NOT disappointed. The bar tender was very nice, the manager was a gem. I would go back just to visit again. We went to other bars/pubs but this was the best one.
They are welcoming and we never once felt out of place.
A must visit.
Thank you Sara(h) for being so awesome.
Really good evening yesterday. Guys running the pub were great, and really hospitable. Cider fantastic. Food mostly Pieminister so you know what you are getting if you've had before elsewhere. Definitely have the pork scratchings. Would be very happy if this was my local.
One of Tauntons finest for sure.!
Fantastic pub with bags of character.
The staff are welcoming, fun and genuinely interested in the customers (or Oscar winning performers😂).
As with any good drinking establishment in in Somerset it has a laaaarge selection of ciders! Wondering stuff.. You could drink a different one everyday of the month almost.
Real ale and lager lovers are not forgotten with great offerings from local breweries. San Miguel a great choice in my opinion for lager.
I have yet to actually sample the spirits but my keen eye has spotted many a favourite... A heartily stocked Gin shelf and also some fine rums. Absinthe we don't talk about.. Sambucas, Triple secs, Chambord and Kaluha = Great to see the real stuff!!
I'm thirsty now.... Be seeing you...
Nice pub friendly service only one ale and 18 ciders on so if you like cider this is your place.
Been in here a few times over the years when I get chance, great pub. Just seems to keep getting better aswell! Friendly bar staff. Walking distance from the train station, great location if you're returning from a shopping trip. Always seems to be busy which is a bonus! Great little out of the way town pub
All ways a good selection of beers and ciders. Great atmosphere and lovely staff. Keep it up!
Found this little gem on a Google search and went with the previous reviews, as we were visiting the area and didn't know what was good. We needed something dog friendly too.
What a great find, totally not what I expected when I walked in, the place is like a tardis, lots of cosy little rooms to sit. Great choice of lagers, ales and ciders. The bar lady was so helpful and gave us samples of their lagers on tap to see which one we liked. We lucked in that we arrived on curry night! £10 per person for a curry and a pint.
The new chef, Chris has a wealth of cuisine knowledge and did a Caribbean mutton curry with coconut rice. It was amazing! We had our teenage son with us and Chris even brought out a taster of the curry for him to try to see if he liked it. He was so chatty and came over to the table a few times to say hi.
This place obviously has a good reputation already, but with Chris leading the way, it's only going to get better! Don't believe me? Try it yourself.
Popped in to fill some time, ended up having the Sunday roast.
Very good food - portion size & price both good, all cooked to perfection. (Roast spuds were perfect, honey roast parsnips probably the best I've tasted.)
Friendly staff (you know they enjoy being there when they're skipping and singing whilst they work.)
