The Kings Arms, Taunton

Ignore the old reviews
This is a proper, well-run, civilised town pub offering good beers (inc 2 or 3 real ales) & decent well-priced food. Sky Sports and (most of) BT Sport shown on several screens - 3 channels can be shown at once. Excellent wi-fi
Bands on most Saturdays. 2 skittle alleys and a beer garden at the back. Carpark outside
No bad behaviour is accepted but it's a lively enough atmosphere with plenty of banter, depending on where you choose to sit/stand. The staff are hard-working & very friendly
Who could ask for more? Not me!

The Shepherds Rest, Taunton

Friendly "proper pub" with decent ales & capable, pleasant staff. I haven't eaten there but the food looks good. Big screen for screening sport on TV. If I could walk there I would visit it regularly

The Ale House, Taunton

As a "neutral" in what seems to be a lively debate - to say the least - here is my impression of The Ale House. I never had a problem with the beer & enjoyed various real ales there. The food seemed good, although a bit expensive for a town pub. It was rarely busy except for during televised rugby matches, but the atmosphere & decor was fine. My reason for not going there any longer is that I don't get on with the licensee, who is not everyone's cup of tea
