The Tudor Tavern at No 15 Fore Street, Taunton, Somerset, England dates from 1578 and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]
It has an overhanging 3 storey timbered front with a high red tiled roof. Behind the late 16th century front is a late medieval hall with an open trussed roof and arched braces.[1]
The cottage at the rear of the Tudor Tavern, and part of the same building was previously known as Halliday's Shop. It is said to have been the servants quarters of the town house of the Portmans or Orchard Portman.[1]
In 2003 the building was leased by Caffè Nero and refurbished at a cost of £200,000.[2]
