Sheppy’s Cider - Taunton Deane

After reading a great review, I decided to treat some friends on our way to Wellington. We were not disappointed. This restaurant served one of the best breakfasts I have ever had, with top-notch produce and skillful cooking. The ambiance was lovely and the staff were friendly and helpful, a true asset. I will definitely be returning.

The staff were lovely and very polite. We should have complained , but didn’t want the waiting staff to get the blame . We waited 40 mins for a drink and an hour for our food . If you take a drinks order when you seat your customers , they will enjoy relaxing and going through the menu . If you leave the customer alone for 40 mins without even coming back to the table , the customer is already grumpy . Not a good start !! The soup was watery, with little flavour and substance to it . The charcuterie board was mostly bread . Very unimaginative . A tiny shaving of parmesan and very few meats, and a tiny bowl of olives . The roast beef sandwich was very overcooked grey beef with hardly any horseradish, on a sliced whole meal loaf . Not worth the money paid The shop looks fabulous , and sells beautiful food. Very disappointing that the restaurant doesn’t do the same.

Sheppy's in Taunton serves the best roast in town! Today, a group of eight of us enjoyed a meal at Sheppy's, and we all decided to try the roast beef. The beef was incredibly delicious and cooked to perfection, served alongside red cabbage, greens, and a delightful cauliflower cheese. It couldn't have been any better! The chefs at Sheppy's truly exceeded our expectations. Despite our large group and the bustling restaurant, the staff were very attentive and our food arrived promptly.

We arrived without a reservation, but we should have because the restaurant was fully booked. Despite this, the staff accommodated us and seated us outside the main dining area. The breakfast was fantastic. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, which was served on a perfectly toasted muffin with generous amounts of ham, two beautifully poached eggs, and a plentiful serving of hollandaise sauce. This was definitely the best Eggs Benedict I have ever tasted.

Superb Sunday roast lunch . 5 star plus. Staff attentive and helpful Exit onto main road not very good. Large advertising board restricting vision.
