The Sun Inn, Frome

Looks promising from the street, but rather more basic (in terms of furniture, decor and - to be frank - customers) than expected inside. Still, the opened-out 'L'-shaped bar is reassuringly traditional and if you like a more basic type of boozer then this may appeal. Also has a small patio beer garden out back. Thankfully, it does still do real ale and my pint of Moles Dark (£2.80) was in decent shape.
