Subway

this subway is an ok chain but they are quite unfriendly and always skimp on the olives!

Subway is delicious toasted sandwiches, made to order. If you go for sub of the day or student deal, its also very good value. This is valid for all Subway outlets.
However the particular one in downtown Taunton is downright disappointing. Being centrally located, it would be very popular — especially on a saturday– if it werent for the lack of seating indoors (excluding 4 stools) and a generally very crammed and untidy atmosphere.
This outlet just isnt big enough to serve the demand, and on a cold day (as it was today) most people will turn around and go to another place where they can actually sit down in the warmth and have their lunch in a civilized manner. You’ll like this place if you’re a smoker though as it’s got two aluminium tables perched outside in the middle of the high street pavement. GEnerally, unimpressed.

Subway in Taunton is pretty much exactly like every other Subway ever. Sandwiches that are made on the spot with what you want in them, and they’ll leave out things that you don’t.
They range from very cheap (£1.99 for whatever the day’s special is) up to quite expensive — you can end up spending around £8 if you have a top-​range sub, extended to be foot long, with a drink and a cookie, and some extra condiments or fillings).

I don’t think this branch of Subway is too bad. I have bought sandwiches here a few times. There is usually a short queue and the staff are not particularly helpful or friendly. They don’t always automatically change their gloves before serving vegetarian sandwiches and I don’t think I should have to ask them to do this.
I do remember one lunch time I was queuing here for a sandwich and was confronted by really annoying drunk bloke, threatening the other customers, but this is not how it usually is!

I can’t stand this subway at all, and when I’m out and about I avoid it all, all costs and will go to other branches in Taunton instead. First I was addicted to it, especially the foot long turkey sub. But recently I’ve moved on to alternatives such as Starbucks. I moved onto this chain because over recent months subway seems to of got more unfriendly, more expensive and generally unorganised in store. I did like the fact that the bread is made fresh on the day, on view to the customers and within avid smelling range! Service is usually good although it can take time during eating hours. Generally seating is alright at this store, but not so available during the peak times
