Local record

History of this pub

The Frome Flyer took its name from Frome's own Formula 1 world champion, Jenson Button, and stood on Commerce Park off the A361 Frome bypass, near the corner of Jenson Avenue. It opened in October 2006 as a Brewers Fayre alongside a Premier Travel Inn, when the business park and its new bypass roundabout were first built. The restaurant became a Table Table in 2008 and a Beefeater in 2017, and closed on 10 September 2026 with the rest of the chain.
