Castello is a family run restaurant in Frome. My wife and I stumbled on the town while touring…read moreEngland. The pub hotel we took a room tonight wasn't serving dinner tonight. We asked the bar staff for recommendations, and they were enthusiastic about Costello. After our meal, so are we! Costello sits on a narrow (aren't all the streets narrow here?!?) side street. The restaurant has a look and feel that seems much more modern than the surrounding buisinesses. When you go in, it is bright, airy and chic. The staff is friendly and professional. And most are clearly Italian...my wife was especially taken by the handsome young waiters speaking British English with an Italian accent. They told us that they had been in business for 4 years. I can't believe another Yelper hasn't been here yet! Our food was excellent. The wine list was compact but complete. Setting and service wonderful.

I had a fish based rissotto with contained 5 large mussels...Incredibly it was served to me with 2 open and 3 still closed...NEVER EVER serve mussels that are not open..Every chef on the planet should know this. The manager apologised and went and got me some more which had been cooked in, I think, a tomato based sauce...I didn't like them at all and they did not match my original mussels..He offered me a desert on the house which I accepted. This experienced blemished what should have been a lovely evening. So disappointed. Will I return...Not sure as there are loads of restaurants out there to choose from. I think this mistake must lay with the chefs who should have checked the mussels before sending them out .Dining out is not cheap nowadays so customer expectations are high !

Although, it's not the place for giants as there are low ceilings or if you're not good stairs as it's a bit like the Burrow from Harry Potter. The upstairs rooms on the top floor are deluxe double beds, with an ensuite, a large old fashioned bathtub, tv and complimentary tea and coffee. If you prefer a shower, the rooms located in the courtyard near the pub are the one for you. Make sure to take advantage of the barn style pub and restaurant, which serve up good quality seasonal food at reasonably prices if you're not after the usual pub grub. I enjoyed a classic beef burger which hit the spot and the tasting plate, accompanied by local beer and cider. For breakfast, there is proper cafe quality coffee and tea is by UK brand teapigs. There is a range of hot and continental options. I had the eggs royale, which exceeded my expectation of hotel breakfasts. After researching and sussing out a few places to stay, this one seemed the best, a real small town gem. I'll definitely be back!

The option for a hot stone to prepare one's own steak was super cool, a nice fun touch (though I guess it absolves the chef of any blame of over/under-cooking, haha!). My filet was beautifully cut, and came with several delicious sides and sauces. As an added bonus the entire team here was very helpful and aware about gluten allergies! Loved our visit here and hope to recommend it to more people visiting Frome!

I would recommend if you are visiting. The service is nice and they let you dine and take your time.

For a…read morelunch-time takeaway or an evening treat (whether to help soak up the beer from one of Frome's many town centre pubs or just to go down well with a good DVD night in) then you can't beat Pangs. At lunchtimes there is a small sit-down restaurant area to take the weight off your feet during a busy shopping day. Clean and basic, the service is bustling and always with a smile, and your meal is served fresh from the front-counter suppplies. This is designated as a Chinese take-away and certainly there are plenty of generic curry dishes on the menu. I have a great fondness for their chips and curry sauce - it's one of my favourite Comfort Foods! There is the usual fare of fish, pies, burgers and suchlike all served with a good dollop of chips. Great value, hot and tasty, can't go wrong with a Pangs take-out!

These days is a brightly lit, clean and generically decorated chippy run by a Chinese family, so it has the added benefit of an extensive Chinese take-away menu as well. Their chips are great - fresh, fluffy and properly cooked. The portions are good-sized, and the fish is always fresh. A portion of chips and curry sauce with a pea fritter along with battered jumbo sausage and chips will come to under a tenner and be worth it! (Not that I'm saying that's our regular order junk food of choice..but..have been known to indulge!) On the Chinese side of things, their Prawn Curry is highly reccomended. It might lack the finesse and extra delicacy of a fancy restaurant curry but for a take-out it's really tasty and hits the spot. Good value, good grub, friendly service.

Located adjacent to the River Frome, in the center of the town, the Balti Delight is indeed a delight to find: an Indian restaurant with enthusiastic management and friendly staff, good quality food and impeccable service. The decor is modern, with bright colours. It's a little cramped if they are very busy, but not intolerably so. The menu is standard Indian-Bengali cuisine, with a range of Balti dishes and curries, including some interesting house specialities and a plentiful selection for vegetarians. The wine list is a bit limited, but I think beer goes better with curry anyway. It does get very busy at week-ends, so booking ahead is advisable. Expect to pay about £25-£30 a head, all in.

This is a large Chinese restaurant on the first floor of a corner building in the centre of town,…read morewith large windows along one wall, overlooking the parish church. The foyer has a fish tank, reminiscent of restaurants in the Far East - although the fish here are not for eating! We had the mixed vegetarian starter for 3 people (£9.90 per person) to start. This included spring rolls, samosas, "vegetarian chicken" skewers (made of tofu), deep fried onion rings and deep fried seaweed. The spring rolls and seaweed were very tasty, but the onion rings were a little bland. The "vegetarian chicken" is an acquired taste (or rather, texture) - but certainly interesting. For our mains my partner had stir fried chicken with cashew nuts, and I had stir-fried tofu with cashew nuts (with generous quantities of tofu). With this, we had a portion of stir-fried vegetables. In hindsight, we should have gone for a spicier option, as we found the dishes to be perfectly edible, but rather bland - surprising for Chinese cuisine. The overall bill with drinks and service came to £30 a head, which was good value. Service was efficient and friendly. I'm sure we'll be back - it is a favourite of a friend of mine - but next time we'd go for one of the spicier or sweet & sour options.

I've only been in there for a take-away so can't comment on the service in the restaurant. However I can say it's smartly decorated chinoiserie themed, and the waiting area for take-aways is the same as for in-house tables - very comfortable and luxurious. Prices aren't cheap, and there's a bit of a wait for the food to be prepared but the quality is very superior and the portion sizes are good. The sort of place you'd go for a treat!
