Lamb and Fountain Freehouse

A small and very friendly unspoilt gem with fantastic views over the town, this is a grade II listed building, on the CAMRA register as “An historic pub interior of regional importance”.

Known locally as “Mothers”, and run for over 50 years by Freda Searl. Freda made no major changes to the pub during her time at the helm but sadly passed away in November 2021 and the pub is now run by her daughter Sue. Glad to say, Sue plans to follow her mothers wishes and leave the pub just as it is. Ales sometimes on, but not always.

Hidden under a trapdoor, or so it is said, is an entrance to Frome’s legendary tunnels. As with many of the town’s pubs, cider is the main tipple of the locals. Doombar often, but not always, available on handpump.
