Recently taken over by a South African; Peter & his wife. Have been a number of times recently & it is well worth a visit. Good range of real ales & draught ciders, which are well kept.
Bar staff friendly & informative. Food is excellent & well priced.

Like the idea of 2 bars. The Otter in both was absolutely cracking. Food looked good although at the top end price wise for pretty standard pub food but can't really cooment as I didn't eat here. Thought the locals were friendly in both sides. Even on a Sat night in the younger right hand bar was well run with no-one being out of order.

Great, busy pub with welcoming staff & friendly clientele. Large restaurant to the rear with very reasonable menu. Real ale wise only Bass on draft.

Shame, visited it on a Friday night & was told by the mangeress(?) that it would be closing at 10pm. Not sure if they were having problems but there was only one other couple in there & both the Dartmoor bitter & the St. Austell was flat as dishwater. Could be a good drinker.

Biased of Frome again, awards received for entry level brews so far; Amarillo 4.3% winner of Salisbury beer fest, Funky Monkey 4.0% runner up Poole beer fest & Beer 5% Supreme Champion Poole beer festival.
Come & try for yourselves

I am very biased as I am one of the owners but even if I wasn't I would still recommend this pub. Interesting people in the bar to talk to, well run & with a great choice of beers brewed on-site. One of Frome's gems.

Recently refurbished with 4 locally supplied real ales which are always kept in good condition. Serves food which is also excellent. Been open a year & during this time keeps on improving.
Plays good music including lots of reggae.
Staff are very friendly.

The Tennis Court, Warmley
Just recently re-opened after a major refurbishment. The bar has been opened up to give it a more open feel but it still retains all it's character. Good selection of real ales. There are plans to do food.Well supported by locals.
