Archangel
1 King Street, Frome BA11 1BH
This historic town centre pub, for many years known simply as the Angel, consists of a rabbit warren of separate rooms, snugs and bars, linked by a long central passageway. The building dates from medieval times and records show that there was an inn called the Archangel in the centre of town in 1311. In 2008 the pub underwent a massive renovation before re-opening, changing its name to the Archangel. The layout consists of a main public bar, a separate coffee bar, three cosy snugs, all on the ground level, plus a mezzanine restaurant and, upstairs and towards the front of the building, the Library, a sort of chill-out room, and the Naval Room, which is for events and food. At the rear of the pub is a courtyard enclosed within high walls. The Archangel provides accommodation, ten rooms in all. The pub is open all-day, everyday. There are four real fires, with one outside, in the courtyard. The range of ales consists of two from the Marston stable and up to two locally sourced guests - often from Frome brewery (was Milk St) or Box Steam.
Cornerhouse
1 Christchurch Street East, Frome BA11 1QA
This smart pub and hotel, situated on the brow of a hill not far from Frome town centre, was originally called the Lamb and was the brewery tap for the long-closed Lamb brewery. In around 2007 it was acquired by the nearby Blindman's brewery and refurbished to a very high standard. However about four years later the pub was sold on, and the name was changed to the Cornerhouse. The interior has a modern, light and spacious feel. On the ground floor, with its slate floor and local artwork, is the bar and restaurant whilst upstairs there is a function room suitable for meetings of up to 30 people. Any guest beers tend to be from local micro breweries. Meanwhile Rich's Farmhouse is available on handpump.
Griffin
Milk Street, Frome BA11 3DB
Situated in the part of Frome known as Trinity or Chinatown, the Griffin was formerly the brewery tap for Milk Street (now Frome) brewery, which is situated on the outskirts of the town. Note the pub closes its doors one hour before the bar closes. Up to four Frome ales and guests as well as a range of craft beers. Recently refurbished and under new management, the single bar retains some original features such as etched windows and wooden floor, but a stained glass Griffin behind the bar is, in fact, relatively new. Food is available daily, serving burgers and street food from locally sourced ingredients and suppliers, Sunday lunch is very popular. A newly expanded patio 'garden' can be found out at the back of the pub.
