Service is good and when you walk in they are friendly. What I like is I have been there twice with…read moremy boyfriend and they remembered us the second time. I had the Thai Bean Burger, it was really nice, lots of it. I also had chocolate cake fresh and rich. There is also an outside area, I didn't eat outside as it was cold and in the winter time but I would recommend if you're looking for a place to eat / have a coffee pop in here.

The Mexican fritters from the breakfast menu are delicious, and the service is always super friendly. Crowd varies from hipsters to OAPs. (If you're concerned about having to negotiate your way round too many baby strollers, don't go for brunch at the weekend).

Charming and cosy, this coffee shop is in part of the Monmouth House, an historical building just…read moreoff the Town Centre where the Duke of Monmouth stayed for a few nights back in 1685 on his way to the ill-fated battle of Sedgemoor. Small and privately owned, this is a very family-friendly shop, even for small children. Seats at the window in a coffee-bar style make it possible to people-watch to your heart's content, or you can sit further back for more secluded privacy. During summer there are usually a couple of chairs and tables on the pavement outside to enjoy the summer sun with your coffee, tea and snack. Prices are not over-inflated and watch out for the 'specials' on the board of breakfast or afternoon tea deals. A delightful little coffee-shop.

Great coffee shop! Always a steady trickle of interesting people in and out. There are bar stools…read moreat the window looking out on to the road which is great for a writer. Sit and watch the world go by. It's not as busy as the better known coffee shops, which makes it special. Staff are friendly.

It's a glorious view from the top of Cheap Street when you're sitting outside on a sunny day enjoying a cup of fresh coffee - down the ancient street with it's small stream running down the middle, and it's timbered-top buildings all redolant of Frome's historic past. Although, it's probably better when the street isn't quite so busy as shoppings in throngs seem to have a lot less spatial awareness than usual and one nearly ended up on my lap! The ice-cream shop area is fabulous. I remember one hot day (a rarity I know!) I treated myself to a double-scoop cone, one blackcurrant and one gooseberry scoop. Wow the blackcurrant was so sweet and refreshing, whilst the gooseberry was so gloriously tart I just wanted to bury my face in it. Absolute ice-cream heaven. And with a combo of their regulars and their specials it's a delight to see what's new!

I can remember…read moremany a Sunday morning after a long Saturday night rolling along down to the Farmer Giles for a real traditional fry-up to help banish the hangover! Overlooking the Market Place, it's a lovely basic cafe that does all the comfort-food meals you'd expect - pies, burgers, bacon & sausage fry-ups along with various specialities. As well as the usual soft drinks, milk shakes are prepared frothing and fresh upon request. The portions are always very generous indeed and the prices extremely reasonable. All the food is cooked fresh and is delivered to your table. Unpretentious and clean, run by helpful local assistants, it's always a treat to grab a meal there. Definately the plate to go when you're feeling hungry and really want to tuck into a large plate of home-cooked plate of chips and whatever else you fancy!

The 0700 opening hour is fabulous for me catching a bus at the stop outside at 7.20 on a cold morning it's great to be able to wander in, get a lovely hot latte, and wrap my hands round it to keep warm. Sipping it as I travel I'm pleasantly awake by the time I get to my destination! The serving staff that I have encountered have always been friendly and welcoming and cheerful at that time of a morning it's no mean feat! Hats off to them, and it makes for a very welcoming atmosphere. Mid-morning, when I'm in town on a day off, I sometimes treat myself to a cappucino (lovely huge cup that's more of a bowl!) and just people-watch for a bit, being perfectly situated right in the main market place. It's not the cheapest coffee in town, but franchise prices are pretty standard across the board and it's worth it for a delightful experience and great coffee.

Located in the heart of Frome, this refurbished hotel is a mixture of modern and medieval history…read more With it's exposed wooden beams and country feel, the perfect romantic getaway or relaxation oasis. Although, it's not the place for giants as there are low ceilings or if you're not good stairs as it's a bit like the Burrow from Harry Potter. The upstairs rooms on the top floor are deluxe double beds, with an ensuite, a large old fashioned bathtub, tv and complimentary tea and coffee. If you prefer a shower, the rooms located in the courtyard near the pub are the one for you. Make sure to take advantage of the barn style pub and restaurant, which serve up good quality seasonal food at reasonably prices if you're not after the usual pub grub. I enjoyed a classic beef burger which hit the spot and the tasting plate, accompanied by local beer and cider. For breakfast, there is proper cafe quality coffee and tea is by UK brand teapigs. There is a range of hot and continental options. I had the eggs royale, which exceeded my expectation of hotel breakfasts. After researching and sussing out a few places to stay, this one seemed the best, a real small town gem. I'll definitely be back!

The restaurant is housed in a beautiful medieval house, possibly part of a monastery of sorts…read more There is a walkway with seating areas on one side and a bar on the other. The dining area is on two levels above the street level. The service is very friendly and prompt. Food is imaginative, delicious, but somewhat lacking in the oomph factor. The sautéed livers with pancetta on brioche was the winner among the appetisers. The server informed us that they were out of salmon and goats cheese, so two of the five appetisers were unavailable. The lamb with the neck croquette was well cooked, flavoured, but somehow didn't hit the spot. The rump was a tad dry. Probably just the wrong day. Well done on the dessert. Both the date pudding (they ran out of figs which were an addition to this one) and the ginger cheesecake, were very done. Great place to stop by if you're in the Mendip area.
