CLOSED: The Bear Inn

Vegetarian
Country pub that also operates a B&B. Near the town of Frome. Fully vegetarian but very little for vegans. Primarily cheese and dairy based 'pub' type meals. Also has live music and other events. Very laid back feel. Landlord gives dulcimer lessons which have to be booked in advance. Free Wi-Fi. This pub only serves meals (Vegetarian and Vegan only) if booked in ADVANCE. The only time you can just 'drop in' for food is on a Sunday, for lunch, between 2-4pm and even then if you want it to be vegan you need to book in advance. According to their website, for other times they provide a 'bespoke' service where the meal is designed especially for you when you book in advance. Reported closed to HappyCow.

Nice B&B...good food etc... - Edit
We stayed here this summer for 2 nights. We contacted them first to make sure they could do vegan food and they did. It was a nice place to stay for a couple of nights, although there seemed to be a lack of vegetarian beer at the bar which I thought was a bit strange for a veggie pub. The food was nice, but there was no menu and the chef just made what we asked. I think they may be changing this in the future as the chef was new and it seemed to me that they were testing out their meals.
I don't think the toiletries in the bedroom were vegetarian, either. Although I could be mistaken.
All in all, it's not a strictly vegetarian place but they do have an understanding about the food--we did eat some really nice vegan grub whilst there and it was reasonably priced. The staff are very friendly and can't do enough for you, which is refreshing!
We'd go back if down that way again. Comfy beds, tasty food, nice atmosphere in the pub etc...and very close to Glastonbury (1/2 an hour)
Pros: good understanding of vegan food, nice atmosphere, very courteous staff
Cons: more vegan choices at the bar!!!!, not sure if toiletries are veggie???
