This was a fantastic place to stop for lunch on a cold wet Saturday.
The menu is impressive and the choice extensive, the service was full of kindness and warmth, I twould thoroughly recommend The River House to anyone.
I work in town and live here too~either with my children as a family or to meet a friend or enjoy a delicious coffee and sit by the river on the small terrace this is the best place in Frome! The staff are very warm and welcoming and even tailor the coffee to your own taste! I couldn’t believe it~very impressed!
Lovely cakes Inc vegan and gf. Breakfasts are quality and decent size. We had the house breakfast, avo toast and sweetcorn fritters. All delicious. Very very fast service. Staff are very friendly. Definitely worth the price. There is a shop with nice gifts and a gallery. Highly recommend.
Enjoyed a delicious brunch yesterday. Bustling cafe joined to the arts Centre with friendly staff, interesting and vibrant menu which was so tasty. Delicious from start to finish. Thank you 🙏🏼
Great atmosphere, really pleasant interior. Lovely service. Very, very popular. Lots of cake and drink options. Very nice!
We visited on market day. So the place was packed. Really busy. But we were still greeted with a genuine smile. Told about the expected wait time. And dealt with happily and calmly. Despite how busy they were. The breakfast was perfect and the coffee was great . All the staff were a pleasure
Really enjoyable 11am Sunday brunch. Coffee and orange juice were great.
Very adventurous menu, for example, the cooked breakfast had a wonderfully tasty
polenta slice instead of the usual potato hash brown. This was really, really good. Homemade beans were a bit al dente for my liking and I thought they they tasted a bit funky for a breakfast item.
The black pudding, sausage, egg on buttered sourdough were all fantastic. The cooked tomatoes were grilled and slightly charred to a caramelised perfection. My partner had a sort of salmon avocado eggs benedict royale but it was on a herby scone base instead of the usual muffin. Again, I thought it tasted a bit funky and I'm not sure it's one for the puritans.
Great place, wonderful coffee, delicious food (turkish eggs) beautiful interior .
Possibly the nicest oat flat white I've had! And the food was delicious - seasonal French toast for me and avocado on sourdough for him... Just what we both needed. The service was wonderful, the place had a really warm and welcoming feel, and from the steady flow of people the whole time we were there, we're not the only ones who think so!

This is an excellent coffee shop. A really great location with an excellent vibe and backed up with the highest quality food and drink.
The coffee (we ordered a cappuccino and an Americano, black) is very good quality and is made and presented exceptionally well. The cappuccino in particular had a thick mallowy type texture to the foam and the flavour of the coffee was rich and robust. You can buy beans on site and I regret not doing this, but it's also a great excuse to go back.
We also ordered a raspberry and pistachio cake which similarly impressed. Light and textured, with balanced flavours and very moreish. There were a range of sweet treats available and I doubt there's a bad item on their menu based on the quality of this cake.
The decor and the vibe inside is fun and playful with loyalty to Frome and the surrounding area. It is connected to a delightful little arts centre and there is a smart little shop which has a range of affordable jewellery and other pieces. It is a great little spot and the staff are friendly and welcoming, I cannot fault the presentation of this venue at all it's just a wonderful place to be, from the welcome when you step through the door, the outdoor seating and the playful table identifiers (we had a Wonderwoman duck!) it is just a great spot.
Go visit, relax and enjoy!
We drove past Frome to get back to London. It was breakfast time and we didnt know where to go. We drove past The River House and saw a lot of people inside and outside so we went to check it out after we parked the car. Its a cosy place with seating in the front of the cafe, and in the small terrace at the back.
I ordered the French Toast with Crispy Bacon, and Granola with yogurt. I highly recommend the French toast as it was absolutely delicious. They also have an option without bacon but with fruits instead. They have around 2 options for each dish, for example there will always be a vegetarian option or a vegan option.
The staff there were super friendly and nice, all of them
Great food, great place, great people. Would love to visit again!
