Taunton

About the restaurant

Serving delicious World Tapas for lunch and dinner, but also Bistro classics at dinner time. Extensive well priced wine selection, organic, without added sulphites, quirky wines but not only.
In the summer, probably one the best, if not the best restaurant terrace to sit on in Taunton.
Dogs are welcome.

About the restaurant

We get excited when it comes to food. Head Chef Joe, and his team, source only the finest local ingredients. Bringing together gastropub classics and a traditional open fireplace – our bistro-bar is the perfect recipe for a satisfying supper. Or join us in our restaurant. Overlooking the beautiful garden, it’s the ideal place for that special occasion.

Our mouth-watering seasonal menus are complimented by a stunning selection of wines. In summer, why not head outdoors for dinner. Sample a bubbling, stone-baked pizza, fresh from our authentic wood fired oven. It’s the kind of food that makes warm evenings magical. Especially served with a locally brewed, ice cold cider.

We cater for all, so let us know if you have any specific dietary requirements. If you love food like we do, book now or give us a call.

About the restaurant

If you are looking for a quintessential English country pub then look no further. The White Horse is nestled opposite the beatuiful church in Bradford on Tone, with a lovely river walk along the Tone just round the corner. Inside you'll find a cosy bar, complete with log burner, and a spacious restaurant. Our stunning garden is the perfect spot for al fresco dining in the summer months, and our wonderful old skittle alley (complete with it's own bar) is hireable for all kinds of events.

Our menu keeps it simple and offers all the traditional pub favourites, whilst our daily changing specials board focuses on creative dishes using the best of seasonal produce. On the bar you'll find a full range of lagers and local cider, with a fab wine list from local vinter Paddy Magill, as well as our very own cask ale from Black Bear Brewery. We open at 9am and serve a hearty breakfast menu until 11am daily.
