    I have to give ASDA some credit here - they've managed to create a gigantic store on the edge of…read morethe town a long way from their competition, and they've made a big success of it. Shuffling around the aisles, it's not hard to see why. The place is very well-stocked with more than you'd expect to find here. Clothes? Sure - why not. An electronics section? Totes. DVDs and game? You bet your bottom dollar. DIY? Surely not - but yes. Camping equipment? It cannot be, but it is. Household utensils? What kind of place am I even in any more? ASDA Frome has a bit of everything and lots of what you'd expect. A fresh fish counter, a delicatessen, even a pizza-making section where you can custom-pick your design (and they're good pizzas, too!). Backing all this up are friendly, helpful staff and great prices. Loads of free on-site parking and open until 11pm every weekday. What a winner.

    Asda in Frome has been open for a few years now, and it's been a massive success. This inexpensive…read moresuperstore is large and packed with everything you'd expect and need from a major retailer. Large car-park so seldom any queuing even on the busiest of days, and cashpoints for the terminally broke! The store iteslef covers clothes for women, men, and younger kids (not for teenage boys though, please note). The bakery turns out wonderful loaves, the wine section is extensive, and the rest is perfect for an all-in weekly shop. The aisles are wide and so you don't get trolley snarl-ups (often!). The staff are unfailingly helpful, although it's sometimes hard to catch one standing still long enough to ask a question of! But they will always go the extra mile to check if there is extra stock out back, so you feel valued. Prices are good all across the board, and their Own Brand and Value items make for good savings. The only (small) criticism is the location, or rather to lack of public transport to get to it. Right out on the edge of town is fine for driving but if you don't have your own transport then it can be expensive to get a cab there and back (which you will certainly need for a weekly shop). Although there is a bus service that runs to and from the store from the market place it's not regular enough to be really convenient (or memorable - and nobody wants to sit around the town centre for up to an hour waiting for a bus). But all that aside, it's a great store for getting everything under one roof if you need items of kids clothing and shoes as well as gifts and/or electrical and household goods when you do a big weekly foodshop. Note that there is a self-service petrol station next to the supermarket so you can even fill up your tank for a competitive amount as well.

    The Bell & Crown is a historic pub in the little village of Zeals. It has an expansive interior,…read morealthough the walls are painted a very dark colour which makes the main bar area feel a little claustrophobic. (Yes, as another review states, candles in the middle of the day are a feature). Fortunately there is a another eating area which is brighter, and a large covered eating area outside, if atmospheric gloom isn't your thing. The menu is a notch or three above average pub food; my friend had calves' liver with spring greens and mash, and I had a vegetarian sourdough pizza with a side salad of rocker with dressed shallots and grated pecorino cheese. Both were really excellent - my pizza had a deep umami flavour and is one of the best I've eaten. That said, you pay accordingly: the two mains, side salad, with a beer and water, and 12.5% service, came to just shy of £58. Service was very attentive, if rather serious. By the time we left the place was packed with families and couples. So, a good choice for a special meal, but it might be bit too restaurant-priced for some.

    My wife and I were in North Dorset to visit friends. After taking a lovely walk in the forest at…read moreKing Alfred's Tower we drove back to the Inn where we were staying. On the way back we drove through Zeals. There it was, on the left along the A303. It looked charming like so many English pubs do. We went in and took a long look at the menu. Five minutes later, we were back on the road...with reservations for two at 6:45 pm. There is plenty of outdoor seating but we chose to be indoors. We were met by a very welcoming staff. Everyone was so friendly. Our server, Josh, had seated us by the window in minutes. He was very helpful and attentive throughout our dinner. The wine list was varied. There were several beers on tap. My wife chose the liver, cabbage and mashed potatoes. She loved it. I selected the Roast Duck with kale, mashies, sautéed onions and cavalo nero. I thought it was terrific. The decor was an interesting mix of contemporary art, antique prints and old photographs. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner in this cozy country Inn.
