The Windmill Inn - Taunton

We stayed here the night before a wedding across the road at St Audries , location wise was ideal , room itself was clean and comfortable and well equipped with small sitting out balcony at the back.| But what I found seriously lacking was a warm welcome and good customer service!! We were greeted by a sullen lady and no warm welcome, basically it was “£140 and £100 and your rooms up there “ so not a great start but as I said at least the rooms were ok ! We had a family meal arranged at night which would have generated some good revenue for the inn but again even arranging drinks seemed an inconvenience to the lady ? They had no vodka or gin from what I was told - really 🤔 the food itself was ok for what we had.||We had breakfast the next morning but having a chip cup and coffee dribbled down the cups and then a selection of jams dumped on the table rather than a wee side plate or wee basket attention to detail seriously lacking ! ||All in all yes great location if attending St Audries but some constructive criticism please improve your customer service as it makes everyone’s life easier and better including yourselves unless you aren’t enjoying it ? But as most jobs you need to put your happy face on when dealing with the public !

Popped in here for dinner, staff were amazing throughout. We ordered the Pulled pork burger, chicken burger and the fish and chips , all meals were great! The staff couldn't do enough for us and we sat outside next to the kids play area which was great for our 2 boys.

Would highly recommend, great food and top service!

Visited June 20th 2025.|Staff are welcoming, friendly, and approachable. Liv and Anya could not have done more to be accommodating and attentive. They did everything they could to ensure our complete satisfaction. The chef takes pride in what comes out of the kitchen. Obviously very conscientious. Menu items were swapped at my request and my steak was outstanding! My husband was very pleased with his burger. A lovely evening meal experience in pleasant surroundings.

Great place to visit if you want to dine and take your dogs. The staff were really accommodating. Reserved us a large private area so our 3 dogs had space to sit whilst we ate. Food was lovely. Recommend the fish and chips and the turkey and gammon pie. Delicious and good value for money. If the weather had been better our visit would have been even more enjoyable as we would have been able to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful views. Would definitely go back!

Lovely Sunday carvery. Great choice of vegetables and sauces. We were served by Sophie who was charming and also Anya and Liv. Good value and attention to detail, plenty of room and outside area for enjoying when weather is favourable. Would certainly recommend. We have booked in for Father's Day too.

We ate in the restaurant and the food was innovative and delicious. The sea bream was perfectly cooked and the vegetarian option containing heritage tomatoes, focaccia and asparagus was tasty. Anya served us with a lovely smile. Our hotel rooms were also comfortable with everything we needed.

I really dont understand the negative reviews of this place. We are on a short 2 day break and have eaten here for both days. The food is very nice, the staff are really friendly and to top it all off they do alcohol free beer on tap which I didn't even know was a thing!! Nice food at reasonable prices if you ask me.
