The Castle Green Inn, Taunton

I remember this place when it was an out-of-use warehouse next to a bog-standard cafe that had an amusingly ill-tempered washer-up. It has improved somewhat. On first impression it does look like a Wetherspoon pub with a similar atmosphere. But the prices are more average and the food is much, much better. The range of beers is pretty good as well.
The service is good (my daughter had a meal off the menu made for her as she didn't like anything else available), the surrounding reasonably attractive and comfortable. What ios there not to like?

The Lamb, Sandford

Great beer, great food, great ambience, lovely dogs that have the run of the pub. What is there to dislike? The only caveat is if you want to eat (and who wouldn't?) either get there early or book a table in advance

General Sir Redvers Buller, Crediton

Possibly the worse Wetherspoons pub in England:
Poor choice of beer - one guest beer if you are lucky.
Poorly served beer - often cloudy, too cold by a long way, hideous amount of top pressure used to pour beer that gives it an effect similar to draught Guiness as it settles.
Understaffed - often a long wait to be served even when the place is not busy.
Food heavily dependent on who is cooking, it can be anything from tolerable to barely edible.
I am really surprised Wetherspoons haven't taken this pub in hand and either restaffed it with people who know what they are doing or closed the place down. None of their places that I have visited are particularly classy but they reach a certain standard whereby they are tolerable and the beer is susually excellent. This place is an appalling exception.
