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).

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Griffin
Very traditional back-street pub, acting as the Milk Street Brewery tap. Fairly plain inside, but full of real conversation early on a Saturday night (with preparations being made for later live music). Four real ales available from the two banks of three handpumps: Brown Cow, Funky Monkey English pale ale, RA American pale ale and Zig Zag stout. Slightly out of the town centre, but certainly worth the walk.

Place for varied entertainment, however, the real gem is the real ale brewed in a micro brewery on the premises. Great traditional pub.
