Cordero Lounge in Mendip

The lounges can be sometimes be a bit hit and miss sometimes, but this one was great. Served a table of 9 well (ordered via QR codes). We ordered quite a range of food inc. tapas, burritos, full english and pancakes. All food was to a good quality for the price paid, didn't have to wait too long and the staff were decent.

Great food. Really chilled place to visit. Friendly staff.

Dreadful, avoid this place if you want an even passable breakfast. Clearly nothing here is made on site, mushrooms from a tin, which is not necessarily a bad thing, I quite like them but they were stone cold. How can you, I assume, microwave mushrooms and them be stone cold?! Sausage was warm but very pale, bacon cold, egg overcooked and sat on the toast which was oily and soggy as a result. Even cheap hash browns which were soggy. Pancakes clearly not made on site, which is fair, not all restaurants have the facilities, maybe don't out them on the menu? Or at the very least get a decent maple syrup, the one used here seemed pretty cheap. Server, although read told us what our drinks were, gave us the wrong ones. This is a really nice space and has s lot of potential, but if this is what's on offer for breakfast, we'll not be returning to try the extra large lunch/dinner menu. There are a lot of good eateries in and around Frome now, this is sadly not one of them.

Lovely place for a drink or food.

Had a burger and chips, the chips were particularly good. The service was pretty good, although it was frustrating having to go up yo the counter to order.

Highly recommend their charity quiz night. Very adaptable for autistic people.

Allowed dogs in barking all the while we were in there owners didn't care

Quirky restaurant chain with a varied menu, regularly updated. Staff seem happy to be there. Takeaway or dine in, long opening hours

I don't know the place. Never been there

Great food and I love the paintings on the wall, service was great as well

Had a great lunch at Cordero Lounge, loved the decor! The prices are very reasonable and there is lots of choice on the menu!

I had a Tapas lunch today and although the Patatas Bravas was not available the Edamame Guacamole more than made up for it besides the pulled beef chili and Ciabatta garlic bread, delicious 😋

Nice restaurant, I always like the layout at the lounge bars, very comfortable. Bar staff friendly, attentive and efficient. The cheesy chips portion could be a bit bigger, was on the small side for 4.50. They have a decent array of drinks on tap and do cocktails/hot drinks. So something for everyone.

We love Cordero. Dog friendly. Lovely staff. Good place to work or read without the pressure to vacate your table quickly.

Very tasty and quick with the food even though we were in a very large group

I do like coming in here for my latte Sometimes with a cake. I love the atmosphere Staff are always pleasant. Toilets always clean lt can get extremely busy and tables outside are usually busy as well with customers I didn't have to wait very long for my order yes with cake. The safternoon its nice to relax in here as l do. Thanks

Vegetarian/vegan alternatives often turn up lukewarm for some reason. Other than that a reasonable restaurant, friendly staff and a good selection of meals.

great place for lunch, decent portion sizes and very atmospheric and inviting decor.

Several of the food options listed on the menu were unavailable to order. Staff were friendly but were distracted and casually talking to each other - we had to interrupt them to get their attention. Food did arrive in good time and tasted fine but disappointed by the overall level of service.

Very good food, very tasty drinks, friendly service and a nice ambience, what more could you want?

I found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. The food was superb. I'm delighted that they have so much to offer on their separate gluten-free menu.

Don't like ordering via app but food and drinks were good.

The staff are helpful and the food is good. Cosy place to visit friends

Had a lovely meal in here at lunchtime. I've got Coeliac Disease so need a gluten free menu. Their GF menu was great with loads of things from burgers, full English breakfasts to buttermilk chicken and chips. Food arrived quickly and tasted really nice. Would recommend coming here if you have dietary requirements and of course to catch up with friends/family.

Good food friendly staff atmosphere great

Just popped in for a pint of Moretti before the cinema. The pint was nice and cold. Would return.

Great selection of food for both meat eaters and vegetarians. Not hurried to eat or leave our table after our meal and cocktails. We did sit far too long before we realised you need to order your food and drink at the bar.

This is one of the only decent places in Frome left. Food is brilliant, atmosphere is great, staff are friendly, added bonus that I can scan the QR code and not have to talk to anyone to order :,-)

As always, cozy, reliably delicious and the perfect meet-up.

We had a really lovely lunch here on a very busy bank holiday Monday. We had tapas and they accommodated my gluten intolerance brilliantly with a completely separate menu. Food was great: recommend the whipped feta, chicken wings and patatas bravas. Lovely atmosphere with live music. All the staff were polite, friendly and very busy. Would recommend this place and will visit again.

Lovely place, friendly staff, a place to chill and socialise

Absolutly lovely, great food, great service, All staff welcoming.

Food amazing, service so friendly and Fresh Orange to die for!

food was quick and fresh - avocados were quite underripe thought and were a bit like eating leather! vibes decor and music were great! only downside is that it is a lot of money for not a whole lot of food

Sat outside in the sunshine with a lovely cocktail lovely friendly staff xx

What a lovely place to go, food excellent, service great, sat in the sunshine drinking Pimm

We have visited quite a few lounges across the country and love the variety of the menu. On this occasion the food was quite cold and the service was quite slow. However, I am giving 5 stars as I could see they were obviously rather busy and when I raised it with the lounges they rectified it and took the time to deal with it. Thanks to Grant for this. Sometimes things go wrong but it is how a company deals with it that makes the difference.

It's a Loungers place, meets their usual standard. Service was a little slow but think they were short staffed during our visit

The garlic bread was horrible it was flat bread with no garlic and all horrible chilly powder stuff and The milkshake had ICE in it, I can't possibly imagine what horrors I would have seen if I ordered more that garlic bread and chips. After i left I had a greggs sausage roll and a frijj milkshake as it was much better than the food made by a "professional chef"

Internet wasn't working but the staff were still very helpful and kept everything going......well done!!!!

Very popular local eatery Great for breakfast and lunch. Reasonable prices.

Any lounge is a fantastic venue, great food and drink, and a great atmosphere.

Really excellent food, loads of doggies, games to play behind the bar and very tastefully decorated. Shame about the stuck up customers that are encountered at times when at the bar.

What a brilliant find. Really great place. Friendly and relaxed. Yummy food. Welcomes dogs. Would definitely recommend for all ages.

Really lovely place, happy staff great service, amazing food, would highly recommend this place for food, drinks and even just relax and chill out with family and friends.

I enjoy the atmosphere and coffee.

Dogs welcome, food good, nice and roomy, not overcrowded upstairs.

I walked past this place so many times!! What a little find. Nice menu selection, beautiful quirky place. Staff are lovely and helpful. I will definitely be going again and trying some more stuff from the menu. I had a nasi goreng today. Absolutely gorgeous.

Best gluten free food , really nice staff too

Food is nice enough. Good brunch options. Interaction with staff is minimal, though. Cater for kids quite well. It's very much first come first serve, you can book a table if there's 6 or more of you otherwise it's walk in only. You will be left to sit with your empty plates till you leave and only then will you see staff again.

Great venue serving excellent reasonably priced food. Nice atmosphere and super friendly and helpful staff.

We visited The Cordero Lounge on a really busy Saturday for a late brunch. We were fortunate to get the last empty table. We ordered our food and drinks through The Lounge App. Given how busy the restaurant was our food and drinks came out to the table in very good time. My vegetarian breakfast was excellent and I loved the fritters. My friend had the large lounge breakfast. Apart from it being really well cooked it was frankly huge. The staff are super friendly and most helpful. Perfect venue for a weekend brunch.

It was so disappointing - butter chicken that was dryer than the menu paper that would have been tastier left to long under the heat lamps also a miserable dollop of coleslaw. Sadly never again, this is fast food pretending to be better, it's worse. Yes, we complained but my partner did not want to make a fuss....

Popped in with my dad for a snack about 17.00 on a Thursday. It was quiet and a little cool inside, not much atmosphere. I suspect when busy it is great. Food was delivered quickly and was good.

Booked this location for a large party (14) people for brunch Sunday. Overall a concistent experience for other locations of the Lounges. - Food/Drink: Ordered the Miami Brunch with the Honey Comb Iced latte. My latte was so good, i wanted another! Pros: All coffee drinks were lovely. The Miami Brunch was extremely tasty and a generous portion. Cons: My only issue food wise with my selection was the 2.50 upcharge for 4 small bites of chorizo. I think that the cost most certainly did warrant the portion. The eggs benedict's hollandaise was lackluster. -Service: considering you're encouraged to order from the app, you might not be expecting a ton of service. Pros: With notice of being stuck in weekend market parking traffic the staff held our table an extra 10 mins. All food and drinks arrived within 15 minutes of ordering (around10:30am). Cons: Everyone wanted waterso we had to get up and go downstairs to find someone to request a pitcher for our large party so as to not be up and down. Similarly we had to request additional flatware and napkins (as the napkins were oddly cocktail napking, tiny and thing). Overall a solid experience with minimal hiccups. Considering we were a large party during brunch, we had an enjoyable experience. Would recommend.

We called in for a quick meal after the cinema and it was excellent. Service was friendly and polite. Food came quickly enough without giving the impression that it was microwaved! Will definitely be back to try some of the other menu options.

Worst place ever. 15 minutes waiting to order drinks. Then another 15 waiting for drinks. People coming in after us were getting served first. Will not visit this one again. You need to speak with staff about hospitality and how to acknowledge customers. Tables were all full of used plates and half eaten breakfasts we had to clear our own table. Then I asked for a refund and got huffed at. Compared to the other lounges we visit, frome is the worst and needs management to put a proper system in place.

Great food and service. Lovely staff. As with most places, you sadly can't swap much on the main meals. As I eat a minimum of some food types and Cordero don't accommodate my needs so easily (like many places still do) I do feel disappointed sometimes. Most specific dietary requirements are covered though gluten free is often not very appetising. Saying all that this is very popular café Lounge and you can do a lot worse than come here.

I was disappointed with our visit to the Cordero Lounge. Our food arrived, but we did not have any cutlery to eat it with, we were then brought some knives, but no forks, 5 mins after our food arrived we finally had some forks and could eat. I had ordered the Bang Bang Cauliflower, the Cauliflower was great, but the bed of noodles it was sat was inedible due to it being swimming in greasy oil, see picture. It was a real shame because we are usually very happy with the lounges, they cater for all ages and tastes.

Bit too noisy with music and people for us. Food was good, bar and waiting staff very smiley and helpful.

Nice place to have drinks with friends 👍

Unfortunately the food was very poor today, usually much better 😕

Our favorite. It's reasonably priced. The meals are always nice. We love the fresh orange juice.

Been to a number of this chain of bar/restaurants. Good range of beer on tap plus the food is consistently good and well priced. Lovely casual and easy atmosphere in all the lounges.

Food is getting expensive and not worth it any more, lots of cheaper and better places to eat! Staff are great though.

I have been coming to Lounges and specifically Cordero for a couple of years now. I didn’t realise I hadn’t left a review! Comparing the experience to Wetherspoons feels like an insult but it isn’t because it has the same positives but improves on everything. The experience is efficient and fast, with really good quality food every time that is served by really friendly and professional staff. I have never had to wait long, never had an issue with food or drink and never had any other concerns of any kind. You know exactly what you’re getting and the consistency is amazing not only here but actually across the brand as I’ve been to multiple other Lounges and had the same perfect experience. It is also really not at all expensive and I am amazed at their attention to details with allergies. They have a massive Gluten Free menu which for me as a coeliac is very helpful when eating out can be a challenge. I’m certain I will be coming here for years to come :)

Found ourselves in Frome ahead of a concert and looking somewhere for some food/a sit down. We do quite like a 'lounge' as all very easy going and does what it says on the tin. Bottom line, we were not disappointed here. Went in - from a cold outside - and it was warm and jolly vibrant. Seemed all the good folk of Frome were out in force. Great service and food. Despite the number of people the food arrived very promptly etc. So did the job. Always do find the lighting in these places a tad on the dim side. Maybe it's just the 'effect' (and a reflection on my age).

I have received coffee in dirty cups on last two occasions. It has put me off.

Great place for food, dog and child friendly. Really enjoy eating here. Open into the evenings too.

Food took a long time to arrive my poached eggs were hard and the food was cold. The waitress was appologetic and gave us complementary drinks and said a refund would be issued but will take up to 3 days. Surprise, surprise no refund has been recieved. I guess we were fobbed off.

We keep coming back because it's got a wide choice of good food at a reasonable price. Great family venue.

This is the second time I’ve posted this review - the Management obviously don’t want it seen!!! On Wednesday this week we had lunch here and the food/service was ok but I was horrified to see a member of staff stood by the food collection area preening themself in the adjacent mirror while finger combing their hair and adjusting their pony tail over a prepared tray of tea waiting to go out to a customer- disgusting, made worse by the fact that there was a disabled toilet with mirror 10 steps away!!!!

Great venue for some lunch...either with tea...or wine

It's a very beautiful restaurant and members of staff are very welcome. They have the first floor where its nice and quiet. Definitely I can recommend this restaurant.

I'm giving this a 1 star because they removed the pram bay. Why? Plenty of seating to spare. HAVE YOU LOOKED AT FROMES DEMOGRAPHIC?? It's bb central.. Terrible business decision. I'm boycotting and I know I'm not the only one. Greedy and stupid. Now us parents are forced to leave prames in open areas unsafe for all including your elderly customers. Ps: your staff all agree are the ones dealing with your lofty decisions. Shame we drink and eat and daddy daughter breakfast here weekly. So it's your bottom line literally!

Lovely atmosphere. Service was great and staff were outstanding. Food and drinks were worth the price and service. Happy to recommend to family and friends.

Absolutely love this place! It's the team that makes it so special, always helpful and smiling. They must get so tired bouncing up and down the stairs with trays. Delicious food and reasonable prices. Excellent choice of beers etc. Cocktails look amazing too.

Friendly welcome from the team, great food as always across the Lounges. Catered for allergies well. Would come back here again

Christmas meal for our club was a complete shambles. Don't offer a service if you can't provide it.

Lovely restaurant, good atmosphere, good food, staff attentive and friendly Would recommend for groups , families or couples

Amazing service and support for Gluten Free me! Thank you guys. X

Relaxing environment with wide range of meals and snacks.

Really nice food, went for brunch with friends and had a lovely time

Would have given no stars if possible. the beef burger was so badly burnt that you couldn't eat it, then the replacement was just the same burger with the burnt part scraped off. Avoid this place. See pictures first burger and the replacement which was already cut (same burger)

Lovely vegetarian menu, and more than happy to put bits from different dishes together to make my meal as I have a gastric sleeve. Nothing was too kuchen trouble

Always great atmosphere. Friendly helpful staff. Good range of food and drinks. Lost one star this time my food wasn't as hot as it could of been, but still very tasty

Good service and good food. Service was good and we had a very funny(in a good way) waiter greet us at the door! Lovely environment and really good choice of food and prices were good! I highly recommend Mac and cheese( is as a side but go for large and main) and the elderflower cooler!

Been here a few times now and I joyed the food

Nice example of the chain. Plenty of room and helpful staff

Great place, lovely vegan food, lovely mocktails and helpful friendly staff. clean and tidy. will be returning.

Adequate no one came and checked our food was ok not particularly friendly

Amazing food chefs choice of Miami brunch!!! Best thing I've eaten in a while couldn't recommend enough. Can't wait to try more from the menu. Great service and atmosphere. Thank you

The lounges always have good gluten free options, and this was our first visit to this one. Dog friendly and quick service. No complaints.

very good food normally but i paid £9.50 for food and the money had gone out of my bank but the workers said that the order hadn’t gone through and there was nothing they could do. i had to go back to the bar and ask again so they would actually make it. this also happened to my friend a while ago and they didn’t solve the problem.

Loved having lunch with my daughter here. The food was excellent, as was the service! Staff were very friendly, and I'm always visiting the Cordero Louge and becoming recognised as a regular 😀

10/10 experience for a Tuesday night. Steak was banging, vin knew the vibes. 12/10 mate. Vic was an excellent host, an absolute superstar! Nice one vic, keep up the good work 🌟 Kate and daisy 🌟🌟🌟

Ryan needs to realise the customer always right, the guy so rude we as a family never visit again. At first he wouldn’t give his name after making a fuss , he was uninterested to giving his name , Vince in the end sorted out and had to apologise for his behaviour. Was waiting at bar there was a queue, 3 other couples turned up and we were ignored .

Absolutely loved this place! The decor is welcoming, different and beautiful. Staff are friendly and helpful and the food was lovely. Loved the feel of the place and will definitely go again - definitely recommend a visit if you can

Lovely brunch here at the Cordero Lounge. Great big building with lots of seats, really nice decor. The staff were really professional, helpful, and really very welcoming. Will definitely be back

This place turned out to be an absolute find! Our first time in Frome, and we were looking for somewhere to have lunch when we found the Cordero Lounge. Very impressive too, the decor is amazing, retro steam punk?, if that's a thing? If not, I'm not sure how to categorise it, you decide. Staff were lovely, very good coffee and even better hot food, the brunch was very tasty. We will certainly be going back when in Frome again, which could be quite soon as it has much to offer.
