if your a pub historian this is one hasn’t change in since WW2. Good scrumpy if you can handle it — really odd place, they are probably fed up with grockles gawping at them

The last of a dying breed. Table skittles and shove ha’penny in the back bar, with décor hung over from the 70s and a local clientelle that is as local as it can get. That said it is really friendly and about as British an experience as a pub can get. No faux brasses here. Good cider, pickled eggs and great views of Frome from the back bar. Worth a visit on a crawl around the many pubs of Frome, it is very tucked away and easy to miss unless you know where it is.

This is a very strange little pub, tucked away in the heart of the conservation area of town. The building itself is Listed, it’s 17th century and examples of lead-pane windows can still be seen, as well as the overall original façade. But inside, it’s a mind-boggling retro example of lino and formica, and unmodernised since the 70’s. Still, it’s a locals local and it’s clientele are loyal. They do a good pint of cider there, at a very reasonable cost, if that’s your fancy. No beer garden unfortunately so smokers are obliged to stand right out on the narrow roadway. But if you want an unusual taste of Frome-life tradition, then stop by for a pint!
