Quantock Restaurant
"If you haven't heard of the Quantock Restaurant in Taunton then you have been missing out on one of the best kept secrets in town." 'The Word' magazine
The Quantock Restaurant and Conservatory offers a wide range of freshly prepared European cuisine in a relaxing atmosphere catering for the general public. It's the perfect venue for a business lunch, friendly coffee, special dinner or your own private function.
Students working towards Hospitality and Catering qualifications provide excellent service and students behind the scenes prepare mouth watering dishes.
We promote local suppliers and the finest organic produce. Our menu has been developed to suit all tastes and changes every three to four weeks to make the most of seasonal flavours. We have gourmet evenings once a month which are usually fully booked at least two months in advance so please book early. This year you can expect to see our classic themes alongside some new additions including a Guest Chef night.
We have a loyal customer base that enjoys sampling the creations of our budding new chefs and you would be most welcome.

Testimonials
“Thank you for some brilliant meals - good luck for the future to all who are leaving. “ Brian & Jackie Rice
“I wanted to take this opportunity pass on our thanks for a great day on Thursday 9th June. Maureen Marks and I thoroughly enjoyed it and hopefully this will be the first of many.
I realise days like this take a tremendous amount of organisation, but hopefully it was beneficial for all departments concerned – it certainly was for the recipients!” Sue McKellar
