I recently visited with my family to celebrate a birthday. There was a large group of us including a number of young children. The food was lovely, came out hot and all together. Highly recommend a burger! The service was excellent, Abi was a delight! She was wonderful with the children, they loved her which made it easier for us to keep them entertained!

Came for breakfast today 22nd August after a lovely experience in April. What a difference today, I could see the restaurant was busy due to school holidays but what a shambles. First impressions weren’t great both the female manager and female member of staff both on their phones, the staff member then proceeded to walk around the restaurant with her phone in her hand and clearing tables with the other, no reprimand from the manageress. The food was average not as organised and tidy as our last visit, they weren’t the same staff as our last visit so I will be giving it another go hopefully next time with more experienced and attentive staff.

We went as a family on the 16th of August 2024 to celebrate my Husbands 70th birthday On ordering our food I ordered the 8oz rump steak and eventually when the food did arrive and the place was empty I take a mouthful of steak which I ordered my mouth started to burn and so I asked one of my Sons to check it and it was covered in peppercorns which on the menu it doesn’t state that it will be cooked in peppercorns and I wasn’t asked if I wanted it cooked with peppercorns and so I called the waitress over and told her that I couldn’t eat my meal because it’s covered in peppercorns and she said would I like anything else and I said no because by the time it arrived everybody else would of finished eating and so she took my plate away. Then when everyone had finished eating she came and took the plates away and then five minutes later bought my Grandsons dessert over we weren’t asked if anyone would like a dessert before she bought my Grandsons pudding she only asked if anyone would like a dessert when I actually asked the family if they wanted one. The quality of the food was absolutely abysmal and the service was just as bad I wouldn’t recommend anyone to eat at this restaurant at all

There was leftover food on the one I sat on . There were four of us we all paid £10.99 for breakfast. There were no cups ,no cutlery, no side plates,the hot food, was cold, the eggs were all hard, What a waste of money . Sorry, we won't be coming back.

The lady who checked us in was very polite, couldn’t fault her! However for a premier In , and from someone who loves them, this one is a let down. The building is old, which is fine, but if you look closer you can tell. It’s a bit dirty and needs a fix up. The corridors are incredibly small. Can not fit 2 people down them. It feels like a maze. The room was a good size. It’s a good thing there was a full size fan, as it feel like you are in a oven and you can not touch the air conditioning. I tried. I woke up in a sweat. This was not a premier inn bed. It was hard and uncomfortable. I was looking forward to it. A big let down. I would recommend staying somewhere else close by.

Rooms were tired and not particularly clean. No room service, this has to be requested and then they just change the towels, they don't top up tea/coffee (I know this is available to help yourself but, honestly?) neither do they make the beds. The single bed had no additional pillow, had to ask for a third mug and glass (family room), the bath panel was peeling off and had huge bubbles (sticky back plastic type), guests were noisy and extremely inconsiderate of others trying to sleep and the outside of the building looked dreadfully unloved with dirty streaks running down very tired paintwork. Not at all impressed and certainly will not be returning.

Visited for a pleasant evening out as had enjoyed meals at the Frome Flyer previously. Arrived and told me they would check if my table was ready. Funny that as the restaurant was empty at 4.45pm. Ordered our food. It came in a reasonable time however the fries on the main meals where cold. These were replaced..We ordered drinks as well. Our intention was to stay in the restaurant for quite a while after eating and enjoy some drinks. We received our bill, good job I checked it as we had been charged twice for our main meals. After enjoying a drink after our two courses. We were told the table was further reserved and that tables are turned over after 2 hours even though we had booked it. It does not indicate this practice on line on the booking beefeater site. Nor were we told this in person, only after we paid our bill. Thank you Beefeater staff for making us at this point feel very unwelcome and like we had done something wrong. Thank you for ruining our evening. If you told at the time of booking in that the table was reserved again from 645pm I would have gone to Wetherspoon and probably had a better evening, greatet hospitality and been made to feel welcome. This is a shame because the so called 2 hour rule for a table has never been exercised on any of our previous visits. Please display a sign indicating this new policy. By the way I could find no reference to this on your website. Nor has this rule been exercised at any other Beefeaters I have been in. Maybe you can get more picnic benches outside then if people have not finished their food you can give them the bill and scrap any remaining food into a doggy bag?

The site has lost my last review which is a pity. This is a more condensed review; the parts missing weren't anything positive. Greatly reduced menu because much of it had run out. Staff were mostly pleasant. Food was awful - my burger was not cooked properly (pink in middle). I asked them to please put it back on the grill. When it came back, it was hot (I think they microwaved it) but still pink so still not cooked, which is a health hazard with mince. Starter wasn't nice. Cocktails were a bit disappointing because my ordered drink (after accepting the order) couldn't be made because they had run out of a staple - orange juice! One drink was really nice though. Unfortunately, we booked with the meal deal so were forced to eat here after finding out there was a reduced menu (at the door of the restaurant). Otherwise, we'd have left immediately. Had to go to the till to pay because we grew tired of waiting for our waitress to come and take the money; she was quite busy talking to a friend. The next morning we had breakfast which was really, really nice. We will happily eat that next time, just not the evening meal. It was a pity that at breakfast we were greeted with a warning that we only had 45 minutes. We left well before then, but honestly, it never became that busy and it certainly isn't a way to first speak to guests. I find it curious how many positive reviews are here and doubly so that they know the names of the staff describing how great they were. I'm sure they are all genuine.

Came Saturday morning for breakfast without a booking but we’re seated quickly. The host explained how everything works, the buffet area was clean and tidy but awfully small for the amount of people they were serving. The continental buffet was lovely. The hot food buffet was ok but the bowls the food were kept in were just filled up not changed so the oil in the bowl just got more and more. Perhaps a new bowl for every newly cooked product? All the staff we encountered from the manageress to the serving staff were smiley, chirpy and polite. Thank you for a lovely breakfast. We will definitely be back.

Good-sized room with comfortable bed, nice and clean bathroom, TV, hairdryer and aircon to keep the room at a good temperature. Car park was a reasonable size. The food at the attached Beefeater was good, though we were told we should have booked for breakfast - first time I've had that when staying at a Premier Inn. Our room was quite far from the reception so needed a bit of a walk, but overall was a good stay and will consider again if visiting the area.

Very disappointing, certainly not up to expected standard of Premier Inn. The bedroom was grubby, shower area dirty. Water was luke warm in bathroom. Only one towel provided for a 2 occupancy room we had to ask for more. The breakfast room was beyond disgusting, dirty grubby chairs and tables, very worn carpets with food all over it and holes needing repair. Staff were dismissive, food poor. Overall I was glad to leave, I felt like I needed a shower to get rid of the grubbiness encountered during our stay.

She made sure we were looked after from start to finish and did everything with a smile on her face. She’s a real credit to the restaurant with exceptional customer service skills. Thanks Amy!

Me and my partner came here Friday evening without a reservation and the place was packed. The hostess who I assume was the manageress was extremely helpful and happy! She was dealing with a large party of hotel guests that hadn’t reserved either and she did here upmost to get them a table, our turn came and she managed to get us a table aswell, we were so grateful. The food was lovely the staff were amazing they were all working so hard and all of them were smiling, they were extremely efficient. The only thing that let this establishment down was the seats. The leather seat we sat on was ripped and the sponge was coming through, the manager apologised profusely and was clearly very embarrassed and offered to move us if we gave her a few moments but we declined as she had already done enough. I think the upper management to need spend a little money on getting the seating standards back, the staff you have are amazing it’s just a shame to read reviews of poor cleanliness when it wouldn’t take an arm and leg to fix this for a company of this size. Thank you for a lovely evening and we will definitely be back.

We arrived Sunday evening with no reservation, the female manager accommodated us even though the restaurant was extremely busy. The service was great food was what you would expect from pub grub. All the staff were working extremely hard, the bar was busy at points but it seemed that there was queue of cocktails to be done, it looked like as soon as cocktails were ordered it took out a staff member which always seemed to be the manager. Not her fault it just seemed they could have done with an extra bar person on to help but she was more than capable of doing more than one thing. We would definitely come again because of the cheery atmosphere and friendly staff.

Staff more interested in chatting amongst themselves, only one out of three staff bothering to take bar orders, and serving other customers out of the order they arrived at the bar.

I was really looking forward to our night away and trip to Longleat Safari park. Booked package of evening meal, night in premier inn and breakfast. Couldn't get on the online booking to book a time for our evening meal so after several attempts got to speak to a person the day before. the lady told me they were very short staffed and the online booking was closed. so she took my booking over the phone. Arrived in the restaurant for our 7pm booking only to be told by a very stressed out rude manager that I hadn't made a booking and I had basically made it up. She then said we could have a table in the bar area but there would be no table service we would have to order at the bar. the atmosphere was awful, the staff all looked really miserable and fed up and the manager was just storming round huffing and puffing. There was obviously so kind of issue as we heard one of the waitresses call another one a stupid bitch, and the manager took another girl in the office who looked like she was about to cry. luckily the food was excellent. But no once were we asked if everything was okay, felt like we were a nuisance and in the way. Several other people came in and had the same issue, but then a group of builders came in who the manager knew and she asked them if they had booked they said no, her reply was oh that's okay come and sit in the restaurant. We could hear all this because our table was next to the check in desk. After more shouting across the restaurant we decided to go and sit in our room out of the way. Breakfast was completely different lovely staff and a nice atmosphere and plenty of food on offer.

At breakfast we noticed a member of staff checking in customers from the hotel. As we queued we heard her chastising a large family for not pre-booking a table in advance despite the fact they had bought the breakfast in advance just like us. She openly blamed premier inn staff but you could tell made customers feel like they had done something wrong Despite the drama she found the them a table. We were seen next and received the same treatment. At one point we even felt the need to ask if we needed a refund. We was again told it was premier inn staff, staff shortages, even the manager was battling with whitbread to get money for refurb and told that it was an independent. All reasons for negative experience? - Not We were then shown to a table that had cutlery missing. We weren’t told if it was self service/someone would take our order but worked it out. Butter looked like it had been microwaved for longer than needed. Only white bread available. OJ had run out along with other things. So sad as evening staff were great and attentive. Whether you are independent, have staff shortages, have battles with your colleagues in premier inn, or your manager has an argument of refurbs with Whitbread is not an excuse for delivering a negative experience to myself and other customers. There is no excuse. I have eaten in 100s of beefeaters for breakfast throughout the uk and this was by far the worse. I have had fantastic meals in some and left positive reviews. But other than a good cooked selection for breakfast and good evening staff I can’t say anything else positive. If the person who greets customers in such s negative manner feels it’s appropriate, you have a very urgent need for customer service training. Perhaps if the same person spent less time talking to a colleague and also swinging her keys like a jailor, she would have been more attentive to food on display and tables. You created negative experience for myself, my partner and I could tell by the reactions of the large family before us. Your operational issues should not be taken out on customers. Other beefeaters manage it. So should you. If you do not want our money, say so in advance and we can go elsewhere. But if you take it please provide the service most would expect. If you need to communicate with your colleagues in premier inn operationally then do so, but don’t drag customers into your internal affairs or problems with whitbread. Avoid until training has commenced particularly for front of house staff. I most certainly will!

Prices are very good compared to other places. Wide range of food, so something for everyone. Food was hot and well cooked. Very helpful staff, when it came to food allergies. Look forward to going again.

For a Friday, the restaurant wasn’t too busy which was ideal for a quick meal. Our waitress Charlee was spot on. She made our experience pleasant and we thoroughly enjoyed our time out. The steaks were cooked beautifully and we left full.

I've lived in frome now for a good while! 46 years, I feel a little old! I know village spice has had a lot of ups and downs over the years, what with quality of food etc but I have to say, our most recent visit was amazing!! Yes the food was nice, really nice!, lamb moist, nan bread soft! But what really made our night was the friendly front of house staff! Really friendly, young staff that were head and shoulders above many other waiters/waitresses from other restaurants we have visited, a natural flair, a great example on how to run a restaurant! They had a lot to do! But always found time to glance over to make sure we were all ok enjoying our food! This restaurant has often been underated over the years, but trust me, in its current set up it is hands down the best curry house in the area. You can even bring your own wine! Would highly recommend

Excellent pub. Friendly people. Bar staff are great, except one who clearly has a huge chip and problem. But that is your problem. Be a man or be a woman, but don't be hating everyone else.
