THE SETTLE in Mendip

Excellent covid arrangements. Chocolate torte wow. Apple cake wow. Milkshake perfect. Strawberry of course.

Maybe just an unfortunate experience but has to be one of the worst lunches I have ever had. Ordered a roasted Vegetable and Hummus baguette. The bread was stale and had been toasted beyond edible, the roasted vegetables were cooked to mush and the hummus was runny.None of the staff checked in on how the meal was and in a party of friends in lots of conversation so mentioned it quietly and politely to staff at the end. No offer of a refund but did receive an apology.

Friendly service, nice seat by the window to watch passers by. Our sandwich and soup was fresh and the choice of home baked caked plentiful. It was a good choice on our part to call in for a pit-stop but were slightly surprised by the £26.00 cost. Nonetheless it was a popular little eatery and the attention to COVID-19 guidance was in evidence and reassuring.

Friendly, attentive service and lovely traditional baking and cooking. A haven from the rain but also a great place to watch the world go by.

Visited today with my old school friend and we were looking for a nice place to have lunch. We hit the specials board and ended up doing 3 courses it was so good. We had soup of the day which was fish and really nice, then we had the xmas lunch which was amazing value and really tasty proper xmas tastic. Then we did sticky toffee dessert who was also lovely. This place was brilliantly priced, great food and top old school service.

I enjoyed a very tasty meal starting with soup & roll then mushroom omelette which filled me up. Service was very good. The cafe was very clean & tidy. Very good place to visit if you need feeding.

My daughter had a sausage and onion sandwich - as soon as she had it she said her tummy felt unsettled and she was sick as soon as we got home. We had cakes and they were ok but nothing to write to home about. We won't be going back.

Historic market Towns like Frome often have over priced shops and cafes to capitalise on the tourists which is fine if the quality of the food is in line with the prices which is not the case here. I opted for the £6 tuna sandwich with a salad garnish,the salad consisting of one small lettuce leaf, two segments of cucumber and tomato with a dollop of cheap coleslaw. As for the sandwich itself the filling consisted of a rather thin spread of wishy washy tuna mayonnaise on a rather dry bread, not nice at all. Two of our party had cappuccino's which didn't even fill the cups and were only lukewarm at best. Admittedly the place was busy with many people ordering hot food which indeed looked nice, I can only comment on our experience and hope this is not the norm.

On entrance we saw the place was very clean. After ordering a drink we perused the menu which we discovered was expensive, especially for the likes of egg on toast at £5.55 which is so over the top. Two ieces of bread and two eggs cant even cost £1.10 so its such a shame some people have to take the ‘P’

The restaurant itself looked very nice but the waitress was full of moans and groans about 'how hot it was'. I tried to be cheery with her but she continued to complain - okay we all have a bad day. There was crockery left from the previous customers. She took some saying she'd come back for the rest, then tried to add serviettes to the plates left behind for our use. We explained they were dirty/used, but she argued they were clean. We tried to explain but she insisted they were fine and refused to listen, unconcerned that we didn't want previously used plates. We left.

We popped in here for a dinner break having heard that it was good, and we were not disappointed , good service right away as we ordered drinks and a hot meal, Very good selection of cakes and cold drinks ,We will go again soon .

Good old fashioned service with an excellent lunchtime menu. We had soup of the day of which there was a choice of 3.It came with a warm roll and both our choices were delicious. A great selection of cakes as well. No wonder it was busy.

Love it here, lovely place for tea and cake! The milkshakes are great on a hot day! Their food is also very nice.

what a delightful place to find in cheap street. Excellent food really good quality and nicely presented. Staff very polite and attentive. Highly recommended

Five of us went the this Restaurant for a quick Lunch, 1 had the Bacon and Egg Sandwich, 2 had a Bacon roll each my Wife had a warm Cheese Muffin and I opted for the Sausage with Onions Sandwich. To be fair and honest 4 of the group said they liked their Food. My Sausage Sandwich was absolutely awlful, I not sure where they get their Meats from but I would definitely change the supplyier....and the Chef. The Sausage looked like it was cooked from Frozen and was also full of Gristle, the Onions I’m not sure what they’ve done with those but it was like eating Straw SO couldn’t eat any of it. not an experience I will go though again, that’s for sure. Not good!

Cake to die for and coffee excellent. All the food coming out looked excellent. Wishing we could have had lunch. Very friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend

We dropped in for lunch at a very busy time, despite this we were made welcome and the well presented and delicious meals were served without a long delay.

Called in here for light lunch. After very nice toasted sandwiches and coffee, we were tempted by the display of delicious cakes. Good atmosphere.

They have a wide ranging menu of traditional British cuisine, and the location and surroundings are clean and pleasant.

If you like the flavour of the ingredients to be masked by that of black pepper (to which I am intolerant), then this is the place for you. I tried to select a hot main dish for lunch, and asked the waitress if either or both of my two preference choices have black pepper. She asked the cook and the reply came back: 'both'

Went there yesterday morning for a cup of tea and cake. The staff are very efficient and friendly. The refreshments bought were very good. Will definitely go there again when next in Frome.

I visited The Settle with my mum recently and was really impressed, both with the helpful, accommodating staff and the delicious food. I had a lovely cheese and mushroom omelette which was huge - no need for chips! My mum had a prawn mayo jacket potato which she really enjoyed, quite a feat as she usually has a very poor appetite. Both meals were piping hot too. The restaurant was virtually full but service was still excellent. We also couldn't resist the cakes on display when we paid the bill, so had two to takeaway - both were delicious, especially the carrot cake! Would highly recommend this lovely restaurant in the very pretty market town of Frome.

We found the Settle after being disappointed at not being able to try Gwennie and Jack's breakfast (they had closed down). The Settle's calm atmosphere and soft background music provided a welcome change as we munched on our substantial bacon, sausage and egg butties.

Very nice. Had tea and cake (chocolate tarts the best I've ever had). Very helpful staff very good value.

Recently I’ve been disappointed with the standard of cream teas in Somerset, but not this time. My criteria for a “good” cream tea is large, homemade scones that are soft but not doughy or crumbley, a choice of fruit or plain scones, plenty of jam and plenty of cream. For a modest price I had not one but two scones. They were delicious and just the right consistency. Also there was a choice of fruit or plain scones. ( By the way, the cheese scones here are excellent too). Two flavours of jam with plenty of fruit flavour, and a generous portion of clotted cream with “crust” ( very important). Choice of teas to go with the scones. It was a very enjoyable experience.

What a lovely little cafe/restaurant a gem of a find, stopped for lunch and sat outside watching the world go by, superb meal not only very tasty, but nicely presented, give it a try you will be glad you did.

Very good and friendly service! Both good value for money and a varied menu whatever your food tastes. Love the large Ham, mushroom and cheese Omelettes!!!

Stopped here for morning coffee and cake. Both were most enjoyable, service good and friendly. Had a nice menu and would certainly visit again for something more.

Georgeous home cooking with a touch of class at a good price with fabulous attentive staff and an extensive menu choice

Went to Frome on a quick day get away as we live less than 10 miles away. Tried to find somewhere to eat and was told to try The Settle. We went inside and was told to sit anywhere and so we did. We found the menu and we were spoiled for choice so ended up ordering the pork belly, wife had bake potato with prawns and daughter had soup with scampi on the side. All meals were lovely. I was hoping to try the cakes but was full so never bothered. I would have given this place 5 stars but this been a cafe you cannot expect too much.

The Cafe is located in cheap street with outside and inside tables. The food is Good, service Great, and location quite unique. What more do you want...!! Well worth visiting if you are in the area.

We alway love to visit Frome, the highlight of the day is to have something to eat at The Settle. Today we had cauliflower cheese soup with a bread roll, compliments to the chef, it was the best we have ever tasted. The staff are always very friendly and polite. We were served today by the most lovely, friendly young waitress who made our visit to Frome today very enjoyable. A BIG THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

We have a monthly meet up for coffee in the Settle as a group of workmates, mostly retired. We have been going there for many years and after a poor meal elsewhere recently we decided to hold our thrice yearly meal there too. I have to say we all enjoyed our meals and as usual were made vey welcome by the staff.

Breakfast, party of six, everyone more than happy. Tasty, good portions, and friendly helpful service. Nothing fancy but so much better than any chain cafe and comprehensive menu caters from quick coffee to full meal. It's a yes from me.

Very attractive cafe - which is why we picked it from dozens of others. (no shortage of places to eat in Frome!). My flat white was great, but even better was the warm sausage roll combined with their own chutney. Lovely people and altogether very satisfying. First time I'd spent any time in Frome and I'm looking forward to a return to the town and to The Settle.

I have visited The Settle a few times and have been impressed every time. They have a large varied menu but all food is excellent quality. The lady who served us was very polite and attentive. I would highly recommend anything from their specials board, the bacon sandwiches and the afternoon tea!

Popped in for a bit of lunch after first time visit to Frome from Bristol. I had a warm chorizo and sauté potato salad and my friends both had the belly pork. Both were stunning, to look at AND eat. The Salad at £5.95 and the belly pork at £10.95 we’re amazingly good value. Lovely fast service and a small glass of wine at £2.95 made it all the more sweet! The log fire was a bonus as it was chilly outside. Highly recommended!

it was a dark day and i had an argument with the mrs. However the staff made me feel very welcome, especially Chloe

The food in the evening here really is excellent from the canapé's to the mince pies and everything in between! (We were a group out for a pre Christmas meal). Service was friendly and efficient so it is surprising that The Settle isn't highly rated in Frome; a forgotten gem perhaps? It probably doesn't help that the evening dining is upstairs so the restaurant doesn't look open from downstairs but it really is worth going. The only downside was the single Christmas CD on repeat! Other eateries in Frome are better at publicising and promoting themselves so, perhaps, The Settle should have a go, they deserve it.

Good room for our group to meet up, small bar with reasonable priced wine. Food was really good, the extras, nibbles beforehand, small bowl of soup & Earl Grey sorbet between courses were a great extra. Starter of prawn & salmon was good, the lamb main with great vegetables was excellent. Service was good, quick & efficient.

We happened on the Settle for lunch by chance, and are so glad we did. Cooked meals, cakes, atmosphere, service: all very good. Seemed to have a wide ranging menu needing skillful cookery: much more than just a tea shop. We had vegetable soup and pigeon breast, both excellent.

We stopped off in Frome on the way to Bath looking for somewhere to have a cup of tea and...

A quaint café with friendly staff, good food and service. Menu had plenty of choice from Classics to other local...

Quaint restaurant attracted us in and surprised us with an even more attractive menu.

We visited Frome for the Frome Independent street market. Looking for somewhere for afternoon tea we stumbled upon The Settle. It was a gem. Staff were really welcoming and friendly.

Stumbled on this sweet little place whilst stopping off for a bit to eat.

The food was really tasty - well worth the £10. Service was great too, our server was sweet and friendly and she kept my sunglasses safe when I forgot them and left without. The atmosphere was cosy and welcoming. Highly recommended!

We went there for lunch today and were able to sit at a table outside, which was really pleasant. Husband had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, I had bacon, poached eggs and Hollandaise on a muffin and we were both extremely satisfied...both meals were tasty and beautifully cooked. We then had coffee and walnut cake (husband) and treacle tart with clotted cream (me) and again they were superb.Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We've been going to this establishment over a number of years and it never disappoints. Excellent.

Something about the ambiance of Cheap Street in Frome that makes everything more enjoyable and this restaurant is no exception. Pleasant service, good food, generous portions, reasonable prices. Very popular with locals and seems to have a lot of repeat customers.

I love the Settle. For good, honest tasty food this place is brilliant. Often when you find a very large menu in a restaurant, it is often to the detriment of the quality and taste of food - but not here! If you fancy something simple or something a little more special you will find it all here at reasonable prices and with generous portions. The staff are friendly and efficient and the owner is charming and has a real love for his business. Now what you may not know is that for special occasions, this venue has a small upstairs restaurant for their 'fine dining' service. The food is exquisite and it is incredible value for money. They have an amazing wine list which would be the envy of any wine cellar.Book fast though - Christmas and Valentines sell out fast, however you can book it privately for bigger functions

The settle is located on the picturesque cheap street in the centre of Frome, somerset. We came here for brunch. I had the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on granary toast with a small bowl of cheesy chips both were very nice. My partner had the full English breakfast which was massive as also nice. We both had a coke and a pot of tea and both had a two scoop ice cream cone which was amazing with plenty flavours to choose from. Staff were nice and friendly and service was quick. Total bill was £32.

Have been several times to The Settle and always had good food, plenty of choice and excellent service from the staff. Cakes are to die for, especially the custard slices. Would highly recommend.

Had a breakfast here on 29th June at the suggestion of a friend who lives in Frome and I have to say it wasn't bad. Two sausages were well cooked and tasty. I assume locally made as they weren't catering sausages and they weren't deep fried.Two eggs (choice of how they are cooked was offered) some fresh mushrooms and two halves of grilled tomatoes (they were soft enough to eat. Too often they may well have a Grill mark on the outside but inside they are too hard and raw).Two slices of Bacon were delicious, smokey and very tasty.The breakfast comes with fried bread but they allowed me to swap mine for extra toast.We were offered brown or white toast, but strangely the toast for two came on the same plate and i ate the wrong one before realising my mistake. Butter came as a slab on a separate plate.We were asked if we wanted sauce and this was brought in a little dish. I don't know if there was an additional charge for this, i surely hope not?Tea was served in an attractive stainless steel pot but the extra boiling water came in a catering tea pot which spoilt the effect. Tea was good and strong though.The environment is Ok, a bit Twee for my taste and its small, though the huge mirror at the back does give the impression its much bigger.Seats were reasonably comfortable but I wouldn't like to sit there for too long.I saw no signs for free wifi, which if I'd been on my own I would have wanted.Service was Ok if a little rushed.So on balance a reasonable choice for breakfast if your happy to pay nearly ten quid (£10 ) for the privilege, which I think is far more than this breakfast is worth.

Perhaps I'm just a Scrooge but I can't bring myself to pay £10 for a breakfast. I object to over £5 for egg on toast. If I had, with my wife and child, we would have left with a £40+ bill. Fine for a night out or a special occasion but breakfast!? No way. Just too expensive and clearly trading on the irony that is Cheap Street. I like the room. Bare stone walls and wooden furniture is basic but somehow relaxing. Plenty of people in who clearly have loads to spend so generally an amenable ambience for nosh. Friendly enough staff as well. So far, so good. Then the menu just frustrates in its needless expense. The service gets it wrong every time - black coffee is white, water forgotten - simple things but annoying. They do good bread here and the array of jams is plentiful just don't order any hot food like bacon or sausage. Totally inedible. Fatty and greasy with gristle. Really unpleasant. Too much money for poor quality food is an insult twice made and I shall never return. My recommendation is you save some money and get decent food, decent service and a bill that won't stop your heart at Cordero or Black Swan or just anywhere else in Frome. Honestly, even McDonalds would be a better option and I can't believe I have put that in writing.

With one exception, a slice of burnt toast, the food was very good. However it was spoiled by the fact that my piece of haddock was a lot smaller than I would have expected for the price. I pointed this out both at the beginning and end of the meal but got no response from the staff except for a half hearted apology from the waitress. My only other criticism was the extremely small 'small' glass of lemonade costing £1.30, it couldn't have been more than a quarter of a pint.

The scones were beautiful and the atmosphere was warm and cosy. The menu looked very good and the service was very efficient

we had lunch here at the weekend with our 20month old. While the childrens menu is a little limited the staff will do other things without issue.it is a tight squeeze in here, wouldnt recommend bringing the buggy as not really anywhere to put it.Plenty of high chairs. Would be worth them investing in a couple of strap on chairs as well. or take your ownOur little one was sick and the staff were good. Nobody rushed over, they let us sort ourselves out and then offered cloths and wipes. No panic, no fuss just how i like things.All staff are nice and friendly and were conscious about hot things on the table etc...If you dont like fuss then I would recommend this

Dropped in whilst visiting Frome - busy, but we were squeezed in; very friendly staff and excellent cooked breakfast with decent coffee. Tiny bit expensive perhaps, however don't mind paying for quality. Would definitely recommend and will re-visit.

As you walk in greeted by friendly staff, but you miss the mirror, it make the place look huge! Food good and staff helpful, nice open fire.

Superb meal with all the little added extras that the Settle provides. This restaurant is a real gem and while it sometimes lacks a bit of atmosphere makes up for it in quality of food.

Possibly one of the best places in frome to eat or just meet for coffee. There breakfasts are magnificent especially the continental breakfast. The service is brilliant. The ladies are very polite and don't rush you. There's a roaring fire for cold days and tables aren't too close together. If it's your first visit to frome you must go here. It's well worth the visit.

Can here after looking for somewhere to eat the food we had was very very lovely. Well worth the money.

My friend and I decided to have lunch at The Settle on the spur of the moment as we were walking past. We weren't at all disappointed. We had a delicious lunch and it was a very popular venue as it was packed with customers. The staff were friendly too. Will definitely return.

I come here about once a week and really like it. I usually just have a quick coffee, but have had lunch here before which was also very nice. Nothing extraordinary but nice staff and decent food.

The cakes looked lovely, but we were soon disappointed. We both left ours as we felt we wouldn't waste our calories!Service was friendly though and quite quick.

The cakes looked so good I couldn't wait to go. Sadly the service was so slow and disorganised that it was a massive disappointment. The cakes were ok but the 15 minute wait to order was a little much and although the lady that served us was very nice she was very stressed and over worked and undertrained

Came here on a rainy day and the lovely waitresses were a cheery sight. The food was lovely. Would come again.

I loved going here, it's so nice on a cold day when they have the fire going in the middle of the room! Lovely food too and very friendly staff!

Had the bacon and mushrooms butty. Bloody lovely. Good service and reasonably priced. Definitely coming back.

I've came here for a lunch today and food was very yummy. Had beef medallions with mash and peppercorn sauce. Meat was nicely cooked,sauce was spicy yet quite sweet (because of peppercorns and cream) and went very well with mash. The settle might look like a small from outside but is actually quite spacious inside. Waitress was quick and nice just as you'd like :)

We just happened upon The Settle, having just parked by St John's (cheap parking!).We had a pleasant table with the little stream running by our feet. we were served really quickly by a pleasant lady, who also offered us water for the dogs. And the toasted tea cake was excellent.

On a short visit to Frome,we stopped by for a coffee,the warm fruit scone was lovely but unfortunately the cappuccino was far to hot and more like a milky coffee.

Whilst staying with my brother in Radstock we visited Frome to see the shops and what an array there were, we climbed hills to find interesting local shops not seen by us in many a year, in fact there was always something different around the many corners. Having surveyed the shops we wanted a sit down and a cup of tea and found this amazing cafe in the older part of town, we grabbed the last free table as this cafe seemed very popular (always a good sign) and a lovely waitress took our order as we licked our lips at the array of wonderful looking cakes and pastries on show at the counter. The service was swift and the food to die for at reasonable prices. Well recommended.

Lovely place for brunch, a good and varied menu too. I strongly recommend the fluffy omelette, delicious! I would give ot 5 stars if it had nore veggie options. The staff is attentive and the food nice. I haven't had any cake there yet but they look brilliant! Lots to choose from. I wish it opened on Sundays!

It might sound as though I like jewellery! Visiting Frome is a must and so this restaurant. Stopped for lunch, there were plenty of places to choose from,ended up in the Settle. Pleasant atmosphere,busy. Service was good and cheerful,the food off the specials menu was excellent.Nice to know that there are good eateries about

Finally found a restaurant with food that suited my daughter 's food intolerances. My panini was lovely, as was her jacket potato. Unfortunately didn't have room for cakes, that's saved for next time. Not the cheapest, but service and surroundings were good. Recommended.

Stopped here for lunch today with my family, and thoroughly enjoyed it.The lunches are excellent and reasonably priced. The food is proper fresh cooked fayre such as Beef Medallions with peppercorn sauce on chive mash with veg, though they do simpler things if you fancy it.Staff are great, and the café is clean and tidy.The toilets are very clean too, proper taps that actually work - feels more like using the facilities in someone's house than a business.Highly recommended!

lovely dinner food presentation really nice would recommend the Eggs Benedict Fish finger sandwiches

The Settle is a cosy and well run establishment. I can highly recommend the food and service. When you're in Frome do call in. Remember though it is very popular and not that big!

This beautiful little café is situated up a very lovely little side street in what must be a very old part of town with Tudor style buildings very close togetherThe service was great and the food was lovelyI noticed upon leaving that it has been listed on the Michelin guide so they are doing something right well done I will return

Stopped for quick late lunch and enjoyed the quaint atmosphere of this local cafe Good choice and range of food and excellent value. Something for everyone on the menu. Seasonal warmed asparagus with a salad superbly cooked and presented. Friendly, efficient service - just what we were looking for after an exploration of Frome's interesting independent shops. A very pleasant day out!

This might look like a quaint little cafe but have a look at the menu for a much more exciting and meal. We had scallops with bacon and pigeon with lentils, both first class quality and each under £7, fancy restaurants would charge more than twice as much. Sitting outside in the sunshine, listening to a great busker, it was a perfect lunchtime experience. I'll be going back to enjoy everything else on the menu. Five star casual eating.

Located on a quaint street close to the historic centre of the market town of Frome is The Settle. We were attracted to the street because it has a small stream running down the middle of it.The Settle is warm and inviting with a village feel to it. A surprisingly large menu, the food was lovely and the service was attentive. Worth going in if you walk by.

Very nice stop point for coffee and cake, great in the sunshine very tasty coffee and great cakeInteresting to sit out side with an almost stream running past in the middle of the path staff very helpful and most pleasent

Although we live only half an hour away this was our first time to Frome because if the vintage market. Came across this little cafe already buzzing but managed to find a table for the 4 of us. Wide range of food from cooked to snacks. Very friendly waitresses and would definitely visit again.

Best milkshake in years, scrumptious baked spud, great slaw, crisp salad. Nice atmosphere, clearly popular with locals, nearby places empty.... Says it all.

My wife and I often pop in here for tea/coffee and one of their delicious cakes when we are shopping in Frome or exploring it's quaint backstreets. They do a good range of quality teas and coffees and light lunches too served by friendly staff in quaint surroundings. The late great chef, Keith Floyd rated it highly on one of his TV shows many years ago and it has always maintained that high standard. It's worth popping into the bakery next door to try one of their local specialities, the Frome bobbin too. But watch your head on the low oak beams.

We recently visited Frome, over the Easter, having lived here over 15 years ago, there have been many changes. However, The Settle remains the same, with their Utterly Fabulous cakes...ESPECIALLY the lardy cake which is to die for ! I think it's the same baker, from all these years ago, which tells you that something must be right ! It takes a Strong Person, to walk past The Settle...with all their delicious cakes and pastries on show. Inside , it has low ceilings and a real character to it all, and you can see the baker through the back, busy at his chores ! This, was our last stop before returning home, as we HAD to come away with Lardy Cake, Eccles Cakes, Choc Rum Slice and a jammy Doughnut. The best part is...EVERYTHING is calorie Free !!!

Cody little cafe with varied menu. Good was tasty and good cup of tea. I had the special mistook soup.

I was brought here by friends who I was staying with in nearby Shepton Mallet and thought how quaint the town of Frome is, with little side streets full of shops and no traffic.The Settle is located in one such street, not far from the traffic flow.It was fortunate that our table was pre-booked as business was brisk, the restaurant full, several people being turned away at the door due to lack of a vacant table.The staff were smart, efficient and knowledgeable about the menu.The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. The only downside for me was that the toilets were up a flight of rather steep stairs. I'm disabled although able to walk short distances, and I struggled to get up and back down again. That said, the toilets were well kept. Were it not for this I would have given the place an 'Excellent' rating.One thing I found puzzling about the menu is that sausage egg and chips is somewhat cheaper than sausage and mash with gravy, which is why I chose the former. My plate contained three good sized sausages, more chips than I could eat and two perfectly cooked eggs.Overall, a most enjoyable lunch in pleasant surroundings.

Located in one of the cobbled streets the Settle should have everything going for it. Great location, an interesting selection of food and warm fires - so whats not to like. The problem is hat they can't seem too manage the numbers coming through - we arrived just before lunch and ordered the spicey soup and a bacon sandwich with coffees. When I say ordered I do mean we tried several times but waiting staff were too busy setting out new tables and when we asked if we could order we were reminded others were waiting ( indeed they were but after we arrived). the food when it came was fine and the value for money was OK. It's a pity they could be much better than this - still worth the visit ...

Great place for a good coffee and a snack. Pity the restaurant is not operating at the moment because it is full of character and the food is really good. We've eaten in Michelin star restos that this beats hands down. Love it.

A nice place to visit, clean and staff friendly. Small menu, but not expensive, although not sure what we paid was right. One of iur cajes was a bit dry which spoilt the occasion a bit. Overall 4 points awarded.

We had a lovely lunch here a few days ago, great food and service, a roaring fire was an added touch....soup and rolls,home-made, great value and plenty tea for one, and a big portion for a cream tea....lovely and warming experience.

First visit to Frome and we stopped for lunch. It was very busy, the staff were lovely and very helpful. The selection from the menu and special day offers were excellent. Don't expect it to be on the table in 2 minutes because it is all so fresh and beautifully cooked. The prices are not exorbitant and we would definitely go again.

Our xmas meal was spent at The Settle in Frome. We started the evening with a drink in the small bar area and we were served some lovely aperitifs to start.After we were shown to our table in the upstairs room.The service was good of our soup, starter, sorbet,main meal, pudding and mince pies and coffee.Thoroughly recommend the food here although i have to say it does lack a bit of atmosphere.

Been here a few times lately - Christmas meal with a group of girlfriends, lunch with a friend and another meeting for coffee. Friendly service, good food. Downstairs is a cozy coffee shop with a variety of cakes on offer - one occasion we just stayed on for lunch! Upstairs there are plenty of tables for a formal dinner if you wish - Christmas meal was lovely.

The Settle is my favourite place to eat brunch in Frome. The food is great with decent portion sizes, and not too expensive so it's a great place to eat if you're dining on a budget. The resistant also has a really cosy feel to it.

We used to visit this place in such a picturesque setting many years ago when we had family in Frome so although there are several new "artisan" coffee places in the town now we stopped by for coffee to reminisce. Decor and tables have not changed so this is the place if you want something traditional. The menu is more of a catalogue with page after page of options. You should be able to find something that appeals. We didn't eat but had an excellent coffee and avoided the tempting cakes in the chill case near the entrance

Went there mid morning for coffee very reasonably priced, liked what we saw on lunch menu, so returned for lunch. I had an excellent Beef fillet medallions in pepper sauce, my wife had a chicken pie this was also very good. Would recommend.
