The Crown And Sceptre - Taunton Deane

Absolutely brilliant night out. Staff were brilliant And drinks were very well priced. Only popped out for a quiet one but their amazing DJ got me up singing for the karaoke, one of the best nights I've had in a very long time

Went here on Wednesday with my partner as a previous place we had tried in the vicinity wasn’t so nice The lady behind the bar was very welcoming seated us at our table and swiftly took our drinks order and got to say it’s one of the best pints of 1664 I’ve had and the price is outstanding £2.90 There was a few other customers in who were having a few drinks and they also were very friendly I was a bit sceptical about trying this place but I was pleasantly surprised The pub itself is very big and spacious my partner said the men’s toilets are outdated but it was clean It was bright and airy not dark and dingy and the lady behind the bar has said that they have karaoke and discos once restrictions have lifted so I have to admit we will be back but please ignore our singing voices lol All in all a very pleasant experience thankyou

I am trying to be as honest as possible about my visits to tauntons pubs so I will have to say this is the worst of them all the lady there was foul mouthed and rude . There is a huge sign saying B&B and hot food available when enquiring I was shot down very fast and told not any more . I suggest they remove the 6ft sign saying otherwise

This was my first visit to this pub in many a year. It has completely lost its 'mo-jo '. I initially went there on a Monday night and there were about 4 other customers in (I guess thats not untypical for most pubs for a Monday The place was dingy, had no apparent character and was generally 'worn out '. The state of some of the seating was quite frankly awful. Badly stained (at best! and symptomatic of the place as a whole. I returned on the Thursday night of the week I was in Taunton just to see if the atmosphere at least had improved. Sadly not, still the same sparse number of people which included a small group playing darts and continually using some choice language which which was audible by everyone in the pub! Given its size and location, this has a real chance to recover, but it certainly needs some TLC right now.

Located above a pub in central Taunton, this bed and breakfast is conveniently close to other pubs and restaurants. The room I stayed in was basic, but reasonably clean and very quiet during my visit. Priced at £40 for a single room, it offers good value and I would consider staying here again. However, it is worth noting that breakfast is no longer available.
