The Plough, Taunton

One of only two good traditional pubs in Taunton, though located in the rougher end of town. Popped in early last night between the railway station and home. A few drinkers in the bar or hiding away in the small cosy rooms at the back. Always 3 or 4 ales served by gravity from Breweries such as Otter, Exmoor, Cotleigh, O'hanlons and the ever present Doom Bar. Went for the Cotleigh 25 and it was fine, if a little warm (due to it being behind the bar rather than in a cellar). Plenty of local cider (usually medium) available if you are that way inclined and a local told me that the pies are the best in town, if not in the County. 10/10 is a bit over the top, however a 7/10 is good for Taunton. Well worth a visit whilst waiting for a train

In my opinion, best pub in Taunton by long way, friendly staff, 4 local ales on a stillage arrangement behind the bar. Cider if you like that sort of thing, and REALLY good food, I had the best Steak and kidney pie I've ever eaten in there, and I've eaten quite a few in my time!
