The Quantock Restaurant
The Quantock Restaurant is a showcase of culinary creativity and professional service. Run by our talented Hospitality & Catering students, this training restaurant combines fine dining with real-world learning, offering guests a memorable experience and students a platform to shine.
A taste of excellence in the heart of Taunton
With a reputation for quality and care, The Quantock Restaurant is the ideal venue for celebratory lunches, gourmet evenings, and private functions of up to 65 guests.
Each menu is thoughtfully crafted using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, reflecting the best of the South West’s produce.
From the moment you step through the doors, The Quantock Restaurant feels unique. It’s a contemporary dining space where guests can enjoy exceptional food, while supporting the development of our students.
What we offer
The Quantock Restaurant is more than a restaurant: it’s a living classroom where education meets industry. Our students gain hands-on experience in every aspect of hospitality, from professional cookery to event management.
“My only regret is that I haven’t tried here sooner! The menu had a lovely creative selection, the staff were very helpful, friendly and professional. We all had a great evening, thank you. The coffee brownie was the best I have ever tasted!
It was also lovely to see a college offering a programme to train students to be ready for their chosen profession in industry and it actually feeling real and such a high standard being achieved.”
