Cheese and Crain in Mendip

Visited for Kiefer Sutherland gig. Place was boiling hot on a not particularly hot summer's day. Little to no ventilation and no A/C. The side doors all around the audience were left closed. This seemed ridiculous given the temperature. Security staff were handing out free water to the audience when all they needed to do was open the side doors. Even Kiefer reminded the audience to drink water as a few of the audience had fainted! Luckily I had a portable fan so I was ok,but many weren't.

Visiting the Cheese and Grain for morning tea and coffee, I was pleased to find the antiques fair in the main hall. After ordering from the counter, I left my husband sitting outside to wait for them whilst I went for a quick look around. When the drinks were delivered, he asked politely for some sugar, to be told by the unsmiling waitress it was on the tables inside, and she promptly walked away. My husband has mobility issues, well at 76, who doesn’t? I see several of the reviews post negative accounts of the staff and their attitude. You can add mine to them.

We popped in here at lunchtime for a quick drink as most other places were packed with people eating.There were about a dozen other people in .We ordered 3 hot drinks.Took ages to come even though they weren't busy.The assistant brought the drinks over We said which was which,she put them down and said we could sort them ourselves.Nice.We stayed drinking and a lady came in with her lovely dog.The dog was salivating at counter as she ordered , next thing it jumped up twice at the counter with paws fully on and drowling .All where food is handed over.I am a dog lover but thought this was very poor hygiene.Thought the staff were very unprofessional and all too laid back.We won't be returning

A romantic evening was booked for a weekend after Valentine’s Day to celebrate being together 10 years. We paid upfront and had to cancel due to emergency cancer treatment, the venue despite being sent photographic proof of the treatment as asked has since blanked emails and refused to speak on the phone any further. We didn’t want our money back but simply wanted to transfer the booking to a different date. Disgusting behaviour from a supposedly ethic based venue.

Went in for coffee and cake last week to meet some family. It was lovely, really yummy high quality coffee and delicious cake! The staff were friendly and helpful too. I will definitely be returning, such a great music venue with a cafe as an added bonus, amazing!

The location, parking, furniture and decor are absolutely fine. The food and drink is good as are the prices. However, I tried to use it with friends on three different occassions and like others in the last year, I found the staff indifferent, to busy on mobile phones, oblivious to people waiting and tables are routinely left uncleared. There is no evidence of supervision so the staff seem incapable of working as a team. Result: 3 visits, one service obtained and 2 walkouts.

Have enjoyed music evenings at this nice little venue with good facilities, but it’s about time they invested some dosh to improve the sound quality. It’s just not good enough !! Went to a most energetic Blues Brothers tribute evening last night with the 13 piece ‘Blues Others’ band. I couldn’t even recognise some songs … now that’s not acceptable for the band or the audience. I know the venue has a ‘not- for-profit’ charity status but it must improve the infrastructure to give better value for its customers.

Great venue. Seen many bands here and have had a good time each visit. Ate out side from the pizza man and the food was excellent. Plenty of parking and the drinks are a reasonable price

My friends and I went to see the Hang Massive last night and it was superb! The acoustics were sound (pardon the pun); the lighting was in harmony with the music. The service and smiles from the Bar people were a warm welcome during the gig, especially as they had probably been on their feet all day. I welcomed the choice of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks available. I felt comforted to see the security team overseeing everything and on hand should they need to be. Thank you, Cheese and Grain, what a lovely bunch of people you are. I look forward to more wonderful nights out here. With love, xx

A very nice theatre which was full to see my all time favourite theatre production by The Animal Guyz. A brilliant production of animals and dinosaurs. All the team are very passionate about Animals some of which will become extinct if us humans don't act now. I score this production 10 out of 10. Food from the nearby cafe is fantastic. A very quaint place to visit.

Big sign outside that says “PIZZA” with an arrow pointing inside. Went in excitedly for pizza only to be told “we only do pizza on Wednesday and Friday” …… Hmmm well how about PUT THAT ON THE SIGN!! We weren’t the only ones going in there expecting pizza. My children were disappointed at the lack of pizza. It is totally unclear what there is to actually order. Are there menus? Is there a price list anywhere for the food?? Basic packets of sandwiches literally in plastic packaging (why?!?!) and random salads and some dry pieces of cake. Some old dry jacket potato in a strange looking oven behind the staff who seem as confused as the customers!! Used to be able to at least get ice cream ! But looks like the ice cream wagon is no longer in use ?? My mum’s drink was just left on the bar - she had to ask if it was for her. They didn’t bring it to the table even though they said they would. I didn’t bother ordering a drink as I knew it would just add to the disastrous overall experience. And was unwilling to spend any more time or money in there. This place needs - Staff who know what’s going on! Signage outside that makes sense and is accurate - it’s currently false advertising! Signage inside which clearly details what food is on offer and the price! Tables that have been cleaned! I’ve cream wagon in working order!

Brusque service. No polite, what I can get you. Just, that one’s sold. Tables not cleared - even on a mid week visit. Tea in paper cups as they’ve not managed to clear and clean the crockery. Filthy tables, not wiped. No clear priced menu. ‘Gourmet’’ sausage rolls , hot outside, cold in the middle. It’s like what you imagine eating in a third world country would be like. Welcome to Somerset’s premier concert venue!

No prices displayed on sandwiches or salads. Incredibly long wait for drinks while staff stood around gassing with each other. Unbelievably RUDE SERVER! I’ve seldom come across such a surly unhelpful person - hate to think what happens when it is really busy. We were there on a Saturday morning for coffee. Will not be going again. ( Small coffee and not that good!)

Plenty of parking on site. Large venue with plenty of toilets. Bar prices average for gig venue. Well organised and ticket price very reasonable. We arrived just as Toyah was due on stage. As I hadn’t seen her live for nearly 40 years she was still brilliant and very entertaining. Had a great night

We popped in the Cheese and Grain Cafe. It was a quick visit whilst waiting to be picked up. The girl behind the counter was rather short with me, no smile. I ordered a Strawberry Milk shake, they looked good on the advertising banner. We waited a good 10mins. When it finally came. It was half a pint of milk with a little bit of ice cream mixed in. Nothing like the one one the banner/board. I did complain but the kiddy who brought it out to us, had nothing to say. His very own words. It cost me £4. I’ve been robbed in broad daylight.

The worst cup of tea I have ever had it was undrinkable this was after a 15 minuite wait my oak milk had not been shaken so had to be changed. I never ever complain but the drink and service were lackaing . For £2.50 i expect a cup of tea that taste of tea. After this experience i will not be returning.

Our first time in From to see the Ed Byrne comedy gig. Staff were friendly and helpful, seating was well spaced and not cramped, bar staff efficient and fast, plenty of parking right outside - what's not to like??

Issy and Eli were fantastic at their jobs and their customer services skills are perfect. Catering for our needs and always smiling and attentive. The food was delicious and the prices are fair.

We ordered a cup of tea and an Americano with milk to have in. After 25 minutes our order had not arrived so we asked at the bar and found that they had no record of our order. Not expecting an apology fanfare but no-one...

When you pay to go to a gig you expect to see the band you have paid to see. Not a collection of over rated would be’s The only venue I know who ask some local yokel with zero talent to do a thirty minute...

Whilst visiting Frome today we visited the cafe for coffee and cake. We chose to sit outside which was quite pleasant and were told our order would be brought out to us. Twenty minutes later still no sign of our coffee and cake. When it...

We came for the Seth Lakeman concert. I was on my mobility scooter and the staff were lovely and very helpful to make sure I got to enjoy the show. The drinks staff were so busy but unfailingly polite and swift with drinks orders. Hardly...

Situated on the carpark. Very informal setting. Nice coffee. Limited choice of cake. But good bacon sandwiches!

Went here to see the Blues band with Paul Jones. Great show..very entertaining. Good value for money.

Went here today. Very limited menu. But what I disliked was after ordering a coffee, that didn’t appear, I approached the counter and asked the girl behind the counter, that was chatting with another member of staff not doing anything, for my paid for coffee....

Excellent value and varied menu. If you go to Frome worth a try as parking next to venue. Check for events in the main hall.

We went to watch Coldplace who were superb, enjoyed drinks and a fantastic bbq outside before the gig on a perfect summer evening. Recommend the lamb & mint burger!! We will defo be back

Restaurant with a bar and a concert venue. Said to be the best in Somerset Went to see White Lies here and it was an awesome experience. Highly recommend as a gig venue

Visited the Cheese and Grain for the first time (family members had been before) to see Scouting For Girls. The support acts were OK, but in truth we were stood outside while they were on as the venue was baking!! There was one industrial fan...

We weren't here for the restaurant - we were visiting the flea market in the hall which had some lovely unusual items for sale, plus handmade cards and knitted goods. As we passed the eating area, it was VERY busy, so must be a popular...

Couple of Saturdays ago thought we would give it a try as one of few places we have not tried in Frome. Never again! Over 40 minute wait for 2 toasted sandwiches . They did warn us it might take longer but that is a ridiculous wait for a couple of toasties.

We went in for a hot drink and snack. There was so much food on the floor we just had a drink. We were not there for a show just a snack during visiting the town. The potential for a better atmosphere is there but it needs effort.

We were due to go to the Banco De Gaia/Eat Static gig in the venue on Friday evening. Arrived early for lunch and to spend the day in town. Many venues charge extortionate rates for even a snack but not this one (in spite of Frome becoming increasingly gentrified). Small menu but well prepared with veggie alternatives. Possible cost around £35 for 2 and this included lunch, cake for dessert plus 2 coffees. Food was freshly cooked/prepared with some local ingredients and we were full for the rest of the day. Did not need to eat again until 00:45 (just before we drove home).

What a performance! Friends came from Sussex to see Ruby. This accomplished Blues, Soul singer often appears with Jools Holland but this night in front of 800 people was special and intimate.

Bar staf were brilliant and top notch. I loved every second of it, it being the beer, not it being the band. If you go somewhere y’kno you wanna have a hood time, tbe band were not amazing but oh man everything else was quality son. Band was sick tho.

First time visit to see The Levellers. Nice, intimate venue. Could do with air con though, get's very hot

We've been here for gigs twice now and, whilst I think it's great for a small rural town like Frome to have a significant facility like this, I feel that the building doesn't really lend itself all that well to concerts. For a "small" venue it's quite a large, impersonal space and both times we were there it was only about half full (apparently the capacity is 850 which is a lot of people to support acts that aren't real headliners), leaving a bit of an atmosphere problem - not like being in a packed out 200-300 capacity space. There is a bar at the back of the hall as well as in the main bar/cafe area and staff were really friendly and pretty quick at serving. Free parking in the attached council car park after 6:00pm.

Family of 4, 2 boys 12&9. We popped in for lunch and what a great place, roomy, good menu, great tasting food. Both boys are fussy, but they ate their chosen meals no problem. Well done the chef. They do breakfast as well as lunch and dinner, they also host live events. Really nice place.

We normally go here on a Wednesday for a good cup of coffee and a snack. Wednesday's the have a flee market in the hall at the back of the cafe. It does get busy but we've always managed to get a seat. If you like hot chocolate its very good in here too.

My wife and I went to a concert by Big Country (and forgettable supporting act). It is an excellent venue for an informal concert, with no seating - so the legs and back need to be able to stand it. The acoustics are nothing special but the small size of the venue and the convenience of a bar at the back of the room, make up for it.

The Cheese and Grain is a venue for live music and events. This review is about the events we attended, not about the restaurant. My wife and I visited the Cheese and Grain week ending Sunday 11th November. She went to see Rory Bremner, I went to see Lindisfarne. On both occasions our enjoyment of the evening was spoiled by the uncomfortable seats and the lack of heating. It will be a long time before we return, if ever.

I was at the venue to attend a gig so there are no comments about the food, although I did notice they seem to embrace having plastic everywhere - plastic water bottles, drinking "glass" and straws.

Visited here on Saturday, part of SPACES TOUR. The venue is great and the staff are lovely. The food was superb and the cook think it was Liz was amazing. I had the burger with bacon and cheese with salad and sweet potato fries, very tasty and the coleslaw as she said was one of the best I'd had.

I dropped into the Cheese and Grain for a bite to eat on Sunday and they still had their breakfast menu running, I ordered the sourdough bread, avocado, poached egg, halloumi and salad. It was heavenly - fresh, looked great, tasted even better! Great service too, really impressed.

We went to see Dreadzone they were amazing!! The venue it’s self was a great size! The bar ran out of some drinks towards the end of the evening (not the end of the world!!) Didnt have to wait long to get served the staff were quick.

I used to visit Frome as a teenager fifty years ago and it was original and quirky even back then. Now it’s becoming yet another great Somerset town colonised by urban trendies. But the cafe was equally patronised by ordinary country people enjoying a fag in the autumn sunshine on the terrace and the ambience was good. I have to say though, that the Avocado and Courgette cake my partner tried was the most disgusting thing I’ve tasted in a long while. Good coffee, slow service.

We recently visited the Cheese and Grain for lunch after a short break at Centreparcs. Both Julie and me were very impressed with our homemade Fish Pie and veg and free taster of spicy cauliflower starter. Cheese and Grain Staff, Emma and Katy were very helpful during our visit. Katy even going to the trouble of providing us with a take away mix of spices to allow us to make the spicy cauliflower at home. Our only issue was that they undersold the the portion size of the lovely Fish Pie and we should not have ordered the portion of chips !!

Just finished a great vegan lunch prepared by someone who really understands veganism and that vegans like comfort food too! Tasty and great value. The vegetarian quiche with salad was apparently really good too. Made my Friday!

One of the few places that was open for breakfast on a Sunday but it was a great choice. Mushrooms with thyme were lovely.

Stopped here for breakfast after doing the frome tri. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Very nice surroundings. Breakfast was lovely cooked and seasoned well. Also they do a great cup of coffee

Attended Leo Sayer concert. The man himself was brilliant but as the evening went on it became very hot Leo was throwing bottles of water into the audience and so did the staff. He did swear to the staff to open the doors.

My friend and I visited here last week for lunch, and were extremely impressed by the quality and quantity of our food. Lovely big portions, fantastic produce, very good value for money and friendly staff. Would highly recommend!

Really disappointed with our evening. Tickets were £10 each, with this you were given a printed glass!

Went to the Cheese 7 Grain in Froome on Friday the 2oth July to Watch Leo Sayer. Fantastic night from this Ageless legend,voice hasn't changed a bit nor the mop of hair.However the place was stifling hot no air con and it Took Mr Sayer to swear at the organizers to open the F*****g doors.That aside it was a very enjoyable night but the place needs investment as people may become unwell with such heat.

Concert and venue review. Great little venue and intimate venue. Prices aren’t too bad for the concert. Great line up not just because of Martin Kemp but the other acts booked too. It’s was busy, fully sold out. But we got to near the front and still had room to dance. The problem - and not necessarily a venue fault was the heat. It was unbearable. Sweating in areas I’m not sure you should sweat from. But the security were brilliant at ensuring everyone had water available - they did the best they could. Heat wave + Martin Kemp + wanting to dance all night - it was HOT!!! Disappointing the meet and greet was moved from the beginning of the concert to the end. Wanting to meet Martin looking my best, ended in me looking awful and apologising for looking so bad! He was lovely. Thank you will definitely go again x

Visited Frome to celebrate a friends Birthday. Had booked tickets for the above gig. The Cheese and Grain was packed. Given it was one of the hottest days of the year so far, it was roasting inside. With no windows and all doors firmly closed, it could have doubled as a sauna! Had a fun night, but aircon would have made it much more enjoyable...

We popped in to visit on a sunday and were delighted with our food.

The food & service was exceptional, Katy was very professional & the food she provided was plentiful & tasty. There was food for various diets meeting everyone's needs. Would highly recommend.

Had a snack lunch here ,all freshly prepared good presentation ,very tasty and the best coleslaw ever

We have organised our daughter birthday party at Cheese and Grain. We invited almost 20 children.

Brilliant. We weren't there for a meal, but a concert. A small intimate concert venue where the atmosphere was great. Good accoustics too.

Friendly cafe serving really good homemade food. In the town centre but away from the hustle and bustle of the shopping centre. You can relax away from the shoppers enjoying the sun on the terrace. Highly recommend.

Stopped for a beer and something to eat whilst showing friends around Frome. Staff were really friendly and helpful; food delicious. Will definately be back!

Visited recently during a cold spell in the weather. The venue has a very high ceiling and is actually more like a cow shed than a venue. Security staff refused to put on heating as they said "it took too long to heat up". As we actually had to sit for 45mins before the concert started, I felt this was an invalid excuse, especially as the heating could have been put on prior to allowing the punters in. Furthermore, the venue staff opened a side door in the interval which made it even colder for punters but easier for staff to nip out for a quick fag!! As we couldn't dance, (seated concert), we couldn't even move to warm up and I had to borrow my partners heavy woolen jacket to stay warm as he had luckily got a warm jumper on too. Lots of folks around us were also clearly suffering from the cold too. It made the whole concert far less enjoyable although the act, Kate Rusby et al, were brilliant! Have been before to unseated gigs and been able to enjoy it far more. need to look at the heating issues for seated concerts with some regard for the poor punters.

I can totally recommend this as a venue, it is fab! We have been to lots of gigs here and it is perfect weather it's intimate or a sell out! Coffee is the best for miles!!

Called in today for a late breakfast with daughter and granddaughter. Pleasant and friendly staff, well cooked breakfast served on nice hot plates. Daughter said panini was tasty. Good cafe but the children's play area is very shabby and consists of rather dirty soft toys and torn books. The floor is bare boards and altogether needs a complete refurb.

Came here for a music event but found the cafe as well! Good selection of reasonably priced food and excellent coffee. Bar as well!! Whats not to like?

Came here to see limehouse lizzy (thin lizzy tribute) plenty of room in the hall 2 bars clean toilets staff very friendly and quick at the bar (bonus)

This was the best event we have been to at the Cheese and Grain! All the acts were phenomenal and the atmosphere was indescribable, everybody up on there feet and interacting with the drag queens! Service from the bar was initially a little bit of a problem but was soon fixed. Particularly when the man in the flowery trousers wiggled his bum! Overall an amazing night! Roll on the Christmas One

The Cheese and Grain is a fabulous venue run by the community in Frome, which is an artistic, creative town. We visited for the live music they had on offer and there is a relaxed, interesting air. With a bar area where colourful locals appear to hang out along with a large hall for ticket paying punters. Every town in Britain should take a leaf out of Frome's book and set up a venue such as this. It brings people together. it makes people visit the town by showcasing great acts. Frome you should be extremely proud! Thanks for a memorable, evening!

Visited the Cheese & Grain for a late breakfast on a Sunday after a friend recommended it.

Amazing variety of Food on the new menu! Premium quality and Happy Friendly Staff! No better stop in Frome!

The Cheese and Grain offers a reliable food stop with car parking close by......lots of home made food on offer in a spacious cafe and weather permitting nice out door seating...nothing not too like and also find out what is happening in the adjacent music venue

We popped in to the cafe at the weekend for a quick bite for the kids before carrying on with the rest of our weekend. We found the food amazing value for money and the service was fantastic - and fast! Thanks. It saved us from swished tuna sandwiches form the backpack.

Saw the Beachboyz story in the Cheese and Grain in Frome Somerset on Saturday..what a great night. The band were brilliant. Told the beach boy story and the way they played thier songs and music took me right back to the 60s. We were singing and dancing all night. The venue is a great place to be and the staff couldn't be more helpful and friendly. Saw Paul Jones there a few months ago and had the same experience....looking forward to going again.

This is a very busy cafe normally with something exciting going on in there large hall like a Vintage Bazaar event.You get good coffee and snacks also cakes and excellent sausage rolls.Tables and chairs and child's play area.A great pit stop!

I didn't know the cafe bar existed until today when I stumbled upon it with my Mum. We both had hot drinks and a tea cake and scone both the drinks and food were nice. There cakes behind the counter looked very tasty and the menu was simple but good enough if you want a light lunch. The staff were welcoming and polite. It was clean and as well as indoor seating they had some tables outside so you had a choice where to sit. Dogs are welcome inside which is lovely to see as most places don't allow dogs in. The only criticism I have is the music they were playing...it was so loud you felt you had to really talk over it and it was very depressing songs which did nothing to create a relaxing atmosphere. All in all a good visit but please turn the music off!

Came here for the UFO gig on 29-Jul-2017. Easy to find using SatNav and large car park (free after 6pm). Within easy walking distance of a range of pubs and restaurants. Sound production quality was excellent - filled the venue without being overpowering and was nice and clear. Small stage, but good sightlines even though this was an all-standing event. Good crowd atmosphere, no idiots. It was getting a bit too hot inside during the support act, but this seemed to improve later (not sure if they have aircon, but one off the security guys opened the fire exit for a while). Several long bars in the foyer and inside the hall - has what we wanted and no too expensive for a music venue.

Visited the Cheese and Grain for many years and it just continues to improve.. a wide array of products not on offer including iced frappe and milkshakes, with an increased food offering.. the bar is also open all day which is ideal for these summer days. A great stop for anyone visiting Frome

We stopped here for a rest on our wander round Frome on a hot Saturday afternoon. We had a pint of cider each and some cake which was delicious, I think it was homemade. There were kids happily playing around as there were some indoor toys such as a playhouse etc and a nice mix of people enjoying the sunny afternoon. A perfect place to go for a pit stop, I would like to go back and try the menu.

A good pit stop for coffee. It has an informal atmosphere and is enjoyed by awiderange of people. The venue is renowned for its ents and farmers' market.

We parked the car and caught sight of this place in the corner. The service was a bit on the slow side but the hot latte and tea as well as the happy chatty waitress made up for it. The meal was well presented and fresh, I had the crab cakes and my partner had the steak pie, as well as a side order of chips which was absolutely enormous. My partner didn't enjoy the pork pie type pastry but the filling was lovely. The crab cakes and dip were excellent!

Had the farmers breakfast which cost £7.50 or so which I found a bit expensive. Quality of the food was poor I thought. Then, when the plate arrived I discovered I had to pay extra for a coffee AND pay again when I went for a second cup. When I asked for relish I got salad cream! I don't think the staff know much about food. Not good ...

We enjoy both the original artists and the tribute bands who play here. There's an eclectic mix of folk, rock, reggae and general nostalgia. Seating arrangements vary so sometimes rows of seats and sometimes a mix of table seating and standing room. Good bar, sometimes rather understaffed. Food options very unpredictable at concerts, varying from only crisps to baguettes, sandwiches and cakes. Nice atmosphere, plenty of parking, good loos. The artists usually mix with the crowd at interval and after the show.

Great venue in Frome hosting a huge range of events from Bands, comedy acts, kids roller disco, antique fairs and many more. Good little cafe and bar

Visited here when there was a market in the car park and a flea market in the centre. Both were well attended. Grabbed a drink and a snack in the Cheese and grain. Decent bar but snacks could be better.

Enjoyed a great night here at the Reggae weekend. I was on the guest list, but the reception staff were very rude & would not allow me into the main hall until they spoke to someone, was kept waiting for over 40 minutes,until I rang someone from the band myself to sort it out. This place is a great venue for seeing a live band, bar prices reasonable & plenty of toilet facilities

Lovely venue for seeing live music. Plenty of Bars & friendly staff. There was air conditioning, which with 500 people, was very much needed. My only bug-bear, would be that they crammed in too many people in the the space, we were sat shoulder to shoulder. I think 100 people less, would have been a better experience for everyone. But the venue itself is very good.

Here for the Vintage Fair where I had a stall which meant I was busy and had only a little time to pop to the cafe for a coffee or sandwich. I ordered a coffee, used the ladies and returned for my coffee which wasn't ready and I had to wait nearly 10 minutes. I realise this isn't such a long time but awkward when customers are waiting at your stall. Young man who took the order was very pleasant but the lady making the drinks looked rather bored and wasn't very communicative. Could have done with more Saturday staff to be helping out, even maybe to deliver to stall holders in the main room. Had an egg mayo sandwich for lunch which again took a while and was so overfilled I ended up wearing some of it, not happy..!! So many cafes do this next time I'll buy a pre-packed one somewhere. Coffee very average, not particularly hot but the young man was quite happy to give me a glass of tap water for free.
