The Griffin, Frome

Longstanding GBG pub a bit out of town, up the hill. Exposed brick wall, baby poo walls, scuffed parquet floor, mis-matched furniture and a bit gloomy in all honesty. 3x Milk Street (Frome) ales, my Porter clearly wasn’t flying out but was serviceable (NBSS 3). Suspect, given the location, this is best sampled in the evening – it’s not a Saturday afternoon trade pub. 6.5

Old, smallish single room pub just off of Frome Town Centre. Has a decent sixe beer 'garden' out the back. No longer a micro-brewery, although still run it appears by Frome Brewing company. 4 casks are all Frome Brewery beers. Had a 'Zig Zag' stout, which wasn't particularly to my taste, although kept well. There also appears to be a separate Thai takeaway business run out of the pub, where you can order the food to 'eat in' inside the pub if you wish. Thai food inside an old-style pub is an unusual combination to say the least, but worth checking out if you are in the area, mainly for the age of the building and the unusual cask selection (don't seem Frome Brewery beers in many places).
