Paris Hilton left this review about The Firestone

A large, stable like building opposite the Castle Hotel, The Firestone is now known as the Castle Green Inn as is now probably in the top 3 or 4 best pubs in Taunton.

The new Ownership/Management are certainly trying hard and have spotted a gap in the market in Taunton; a gap that can be filled by selling a variety of good ale.

Always have 4 cask ales which vary all the time and always have a local cider behind the bar. Yesterday there was Otter Amber, Wickwar Coopers, Dartmoor and another I can't recall. I had a Wickwar and was pleasantly surprised to be charged only £2.

They run a beer club every Wednesday which one can join for a few pounds and enjoy the various beers at a discount. There is also an opportunity for customers to request Breweries to be stocked.

Interesting photographs on the wall showing Ian Botham, Joel Garner and Vivian Richards playing cricket on the nearby County Ground in the 1970/80's.

Jazz on Sunday lunchtimes. Food looks good and reasonably priced.
