Review summary

Augustus in Taunton offers modern British cuisine with an average rating of 4.8/5. Food quality is the standout feature, praised for exceptional technique and premium ingredients by Chef Richard Guest. Dishes like lamb shoulder, hake, and daily specials receive high marks, though isolated reports mention undercooked meat or tough textures. Service led by Cedric is generally slick, professional, and attentive, yet occasional order errors cause delays. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, suitable for family gatherings and celebrations. While some guests find the pricing steep relative to portion sizes, particularly regarding wine and mains, the majority consider the experience valuable given the consistent culinary excellence and warm hospitality.
