The Tropical Hut - Taunton Deane

I finally had the chance to visit this restaurant and tried the boodle fight. I am so happy that we decided to go! The amount of delicious food was incredible: amazing seafood, squid, tasty fried fish, perfectly cooked pork, and three different types of flavorful rice, among other dishes. It was a great social activity to enjoy with friends. I noticed that I was eating more slowly when using my fingers. We stayed for a while, chatting and soaking in the atmosphere. The boodle fight is a great value for the money, and the staff is fantastic; they go above and beyond to make sure you have a wonderful experience. Overall, it was an excellent and unique dining experience that I will definitely do again.

Because of the lockdown, our initial experience with The Tropical Hut was through takeaway, and it was truly exceptional! It was hands down the best takeaway I have ever had, surpassing many restaurant experiences as well. We enjoyed a true feast including crispy fish, logsilog (sausage), sticky chicken wings, king prawns, squid, crispy pata (slow-cooked pork knuckle deep fried), three types of rice, including Duman, and stir-fried vegetables. The meal was an absolute gem!

In September, my family and I went out for a meal and were excited to try the Boodle Fight. The amount of food we received for the price was incredible, especially the huge pork knuckle! Even though we ordered for two adults and our 4 and 8-year-old kids shared with us, we still couldn't finish everything. The food was delicious and expertly cooked, and the experience of eating with our hands was a hit with the kids. I highly recommend this restaurant.

This is not for everyone and we were not aware that the Boodle meal basically means you are eating off the table without knives and forks. We were a mixed group and thoroughly enjoyed the food, other than the crab that was not the best. The staff were pleasant and I can imagine that children would really enjoy it.

We recently visited The Tropical Hut. There were 4 of us and we booked for the Boodle Fight! WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! Long banana leaves were laid on the table, and after we'd ordered and received our drinks, the lovely waitresses began bringing out the food! Alongside the standard Boodle Fight, we also ordered crab as well as an extra, and it was incredible and the crab was massive! The food was super tasty. It was a weird but wonderful experience, we've never eaten rice with our hands before but it was really fun! We struggled to finish all the food, but the waitresses were happy to put the extras in the tupperware we had brought with us, they do have plastic containers for the occasion, but be environmentally conscious and bring your own! Highly recommend, and we'll definitely be back!
