Taunton Wine and Sausage

Wine and Sausage offers guests the prospect of a contemporary eating out experience in the heart of Taunton's market town in the historic Corner House Hotel, a delightful showcase of hidden features like the Victorian mosaic tiled floor. The cooking is best described as simple rustic fare that most Britons grew up eating and the kitchen supports local producers sourcing ingredients from regional farmers, fishermen, brewers and winemakers.

The daily changing main carte opens with wood pigeon, bacon and black pudding terrine with pickled mushroom, before presenting the day's specials or an absolutely stunning Montgomery cheddar salmon pie, and desserts of, say, summer pudding with crème fraîche sorbet. The sausage menu presents around six traditional handmade varieties that range from lamb, mint and apricots to Gloucester Old Spot pork, cider and wholegrain mustard.
