Very friendly little pub with excellent well kept real ale, only a couple of hand pumps but you don't need lots of options when the beer is good. There is wood panelling which looks like it's from a church, and stylish bar stools. Service helpful and friendly, bar maid appeared to know all the locals!

Best pub in Frome, moved across on my own and instantly made to feel at home. Very warm atmosphere and great bar staff (except the landlord........both Blair and Molly are legends as are the rest of the staff). In all seriousness the only true decent pub in frome , always made to feel welcome and safe

A fantastic visit to this wonderful pub. I stopped here for some light refreshment and was greeted by a charming young man who turned out to be the landlord. Blair made our group feel so comfortable and happy and I will be visiting again. The snacks behind the bar are all encompassing and the drink selection and charm so perfect for this market town.

I believe this is one of the better pub experiences I’ve been able to have. The staff are super friendly and accommodating; special mentions to Madeleine, Dani and Alex, always charming and incredibly random but intriguing conversations to which it never feels out of place to come in for one and stay until close.

Pleasant court yard garden outside. Staff were friendly. A little limited on lager choice but went for an Amstel which was fine. I would say a hidden gem in Frome and would go back.

Awful! AVOID!! A friend and I arrived there about 7.30. My wife and her colleagues were having a 'work do' in the function room upstairs. My friend and I decided to leave them to it (there was obviously lots of shop talk to get through) and catch them up later. We wandered into town and tried another hostelry, then came back about 10.15. By the time we caught the landlord/manager's attention it was 10.20. He refused to serve us because he'd already called 'time', having apparently called 'last orders' at 10.00. What a pub's doing closing at that time is one thing, but then as the landlord/manager was walking away, he spun round and yelled 'you talking to me?!' in an aggressive, wants-to-start-a-fight tone. (All that was happening was that my friend and I were discussing what to do in this unfortunate circumstance). We went, drinkless, upstairs to join my wife and her colleagues. They were having a good humoured sing-song. A short time later the landlord/manager (a thick-set man with a beard), came up, and with four-letter words, terminated the party and told us all to leave. In 50+ years of using pubs, I have never experienced such obnoxious behaviour. This place will crumble to the ground before I set foot in it again. NEVER AGAIN.

Saved our visit to Frome 😃 We had booked lunch at a local restaurant which was recommended to us. It was a terrible meal and left disheartened. We wandered up the hill and came across the Three Swans and popped in for a drink to brighten our spirits. When we said what a disaster we had had the chef came out with some roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and gravy for free! We were hungry and sad but this act of kindness was humbling and turned our visit to Frome completely around! Thank you to the chef and the bar staff for making our day. The pub is lovely, intimate and beautiful decor. When we next come to Frome Market we will be going straight to Three Swans and nowhere else!

Came in last Wednesday evening, 7pm or so... Both bars reeked of Jeyes Fluid. Had to find somewhere else. Which is difficult in Frome because you always serve the best Butcombe. Always. So please sort out your loos... Having a (delicious) pint one is always aware of the loos. And as for the gents... One has to hold one's breath when there. Not good. Come on guys.. Can you crack this one?

Me and a group of friends went to this pub for a roast dinner, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt as it was their first time doing a roast, however there was just too much that went wrong. First of all we had to wait ages for the food, then when the food came out there was just too many issues... My friend ordered the chicken and the texture of it, it like she was eating a flip flop! Portion wise there was hardly anything there and the quality was also bad, no gravy was supplied to the people who ordered the beef and then when we asked for more gravy they made out they were doing us a favor as the other waitor said don't worry you won't have to pay! One of my friends was so angry he was trying to hold back the anger as he put on mint sauce but it rushed out the bottle so quick his meal ended up looking like the Amazon rainforest but i guess thats not the pubs fault just him being silly. Lastly to end, 5 out of the 8 people I was with ended up having bad bellys the next day, I believe this was down to the gravy or maybe due to that the meat was just left out in the kitchen, as we saw this when walking past.

A little gem in middle of Frome. Locals are friendly, staff are very nice too. Reasonably priced, also delicious house wines. A proper little pub; no loud music, no juke boxes, gambling machines or TVs. Decorated in a really quirky way - taxidermy, lots of little bits and pieces everywhere Major down fall is the truly awful (both talent and taste wise) piece of 'art' outside the toilets depicting a crying woman having her chastity belt unlocked. Not sure why anyone would feel an enormous painting of assault is a good thing to hang? The only thing (expect for the beer puddles on the bar) which really let it down. Sort it out, 3Swans; I understand wanting to be a bit leftfield but this really misses the mark.

The pub was amazing, fabulous interior with interesting antiques and artwork. There was a great atmosphere, friendly customers and staff alike. I’d like to rate the staff member that served behind the bar on Sunday with 5 stars, as she was great and we really enjoyed our time in the pub. We waited for a table upstairs for a Sunday Roast, we were seated, by an really unenthusiastic member of staff. We both ordered a Sunday roast that arrived to the table in less than 2 minutes. On passing kitchen on the way in, I could see that meals had already been plated up so it was no surprise that the dinner was cold. The very long hair in the dinner was the next problem, when we informed the waiting staff, the meal was taken away with no apology and as if we were an inconvenience! The same meal was placed back on the table with a finger mark in the gravy where it had been swiftly removed without the plate even making it back to the kitchen!!!!! We decided to leave immediately, as did 5 other hungry diners on the next table! Really bad service and totally disappointing…..

A hidden gem at the top of Frome town centre. A great little pub with quirky decor & unusual chairs - such character!. A relaxed environment where you can enjoy a really good meal. Food is excellent! My only criticism is that the service was rather slow despite a quiet pub. I would certainly be back again even if its just for a few glasses of Savignon Blanc.....they have one of the best tasting wines I have ever had!

Have been here several times and the food and service are always top notch. Fantastic buzz inside in the pub in the evening. On a sunny day the garden is a great place to sit out , kids can safely run around and stay in sight. During the summer months make sure you check the smoker outside as well as what’s on the main menu.

The owner is a great host. I've regularly enjoyed a great customer experience here. I'm usually with one of a number of close friends, sometimes we cycle, sometimes dog walking but whatever the activity it usually ends up here for, the relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, great food, the lovely space, which includes to the 'patio' area. Simple bacon and egg butties, breakfast to a generous selection of (100% home made) cakes and wide selection of teas. I'm welcome as a, cyclist and dog walker. It's a bit of a meeting point and family spot too. This has always been one of my favourite nearby cycling stops near by Frome. Much of the food is 'home made' and I've never regreted trying anything at Cafe Nouveau. You'll most likely be served by the owner yet whoever takes the order you'll have a reliable friendly service. Bon appetit
