George Hotel, Frome

As described by our colleagues, below, I found this town centre hotel bar to be welcoming, friendly and civilised. On cask were 6X, Swordfish and Folly Road Sunburst, plus the Folly Road keg taps dispensing Helles, Peach, Hazy and Nitro, and there was Cruzcampo for those who prefer it. The barmaid was quite chatty, and she introduced us to the Wadworth loyalty card, though I doubt I'll ever get enough points to get a 'free' 6X. I'd be happy to come back here for a pint or two, and maybe I'll try the food next time.

A good looking hotel frontage leads in to a fairly open and airy interior divided into several areas. This was my first pub of the day having missed out on The Blue Boar due to a slightly delayed train. A Wadworth's pub not my favourite brewery to be fair but Folly Road Ozzie ( a Waddies offshoot beer as explained by Will below) was more than acceptable, the other two cask were Swordfish and 6X. A nice place but not likely to be a regular if I were to live locally.

Nicely modernised Waddies pub – tidy, clean and bright whilst having some character. It’s clear that good money was spent here at some point recently, such as on the attractive tiled floor and good quality finish. Three Wadworth cask on and, despite it not yet being midday, my Swordfish was fresh and tasty (NBSS 3.5) and easily the best cask I encountered in Frome. So inevitably the place isn’t in the GBG!
