NEW owners of The George at Nunney are planning to bring back the traditional feeling to the village pub, looking to cater for everyone’s needs. 

The George at Nunney has been taken over by three generations of the same family, all working within the pub, transforming it back to its original glory. 

Owners David and Sharman Barrett have a keen eye for the vision of The George and alongside son Scott and daughter-in-law Tanya, and Tanya’s children, they want to create a village pub, for the villagers. 

With David and Sharman  keen enthusiasts of eating out and visiting hotels, they want to make The George somewhere they would want to visit themselves.

They are also joined by head chef Jason Howard-Steele,  from Bath, who will be bringing his influences to the menu. The menu has options for  vegans and vegetarians and the kitchens have a separate area for gluten-free food preparation and cooking. 

The team want The George to be a place where visitors can sit and relax and enjoy homemade, freshly-cooked food. The pub also offers the option of staying overnight in one of their 10 guest rooms. 

The team are interested in hosting entertainment evenings including a murder mystery evening early next year and special menus for occasions such as New Year’s Eve. 

They are open Christmas Day and welcome you to choose The George for your festivities and small snacks will be available for you to enjoy on Boxing day too from 10am-4pm. 

Normal menus include offers such as burger night on a Monday, buy any one and get a second one free! all day Sunday lunch from 12 noon till 8pm. Also, breakfast is available seven days a week from 7.30am with free tea and coffee. 

The George enjoys unrivalled views over the 14th century Nunney Castle as well as a streaming brook and waterfall directly opposite. 

“We have an excellent reputation for delicious home cooked food as well as an range of chilled wines, cider, chilled lagers & beers,” said Tanya.

“We know you’ll love our open traditional, comfy sofas, oak floors and stone walls. We’ve log fires blazing through winter and beautifully landscaped gardens and a waterside terrace for alfresco dining and drinking in the warmer months. 

“And we are located just two miles from Frome town centre.”

If you are interested in booking a table, room or finding out more information call the team on 01373 836458 or email       georgeinnnunney@btinternet.com

  • Life-saving equipment to be installed in town centre

A bleed control kit and defibrillator will be installed at the Nationwide branch in Frome.

The equipment will be installed on an external wall of the Grade II listed building in Market Place as part of a national rollout by the building society.

To help build public confidence in using the equipment, Nationwide is also working with St John Ambulance to roll out volunteer-led training in life-saving skills. This will be offered to employees before expanding into Heart of Community sessions, giving local people the knowledge and confidence to carry out CPR, use defibrillators and understand how to treat a severe bleed in an emergency. 

Amanda Beech, Nationwide’s director of retail services, said, “Nationwide’s unique reach as the UK’s largest branch network gives us the ability to put life-saving equipment where it matters most - in places people already know and trust in their communities. By transforming our branches into visible, emergency hubs, we’re making it easier to access help when every second counts."

  • Local performer helps bring Spider-Man to life in blockbuster film

A local man who specialises in bringing digital characters to life has helped create Spider-Man’s movements in action scenes for the big screen.

Teifion Sussex is a motion capture performer and voice actor who specialises in bringing characters to life through movement, dialogue or a combination of both.

His body movements and facial expressions were recorded by a London-based visual effects studio for selected scenes in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, helping create the digital superhero seen on screen.

Teifion said, “It has felt like a dream from day one and honestly, it still feels like a dream now. The only evidence I have that it’s real is waking up each morning and finding that the memories are still there.”

  • Residents call for action on energy costs and fossil fuels

Frome residents are calling for action to reduce energy bills and improve energy security for local communities.

Members of two groups, Frome Families For The Future and Sustainable Frome, gathered on 31st July to hold a protest calling for action.

The action comes following recent extreme heat in the UK and the announcement of an Energy Independence Bill, which the residents are arguing provides an opportunity for the UK to embrace renewable energy and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels.

Vicki Chillcott said, “Families across Frome are struggling with their energy bills. We need energy independence so we can avoid these spikes. Renewables are cheaper and cleaner. The new extreme heat records in June showed the climate crisis is here and we can’t afford to make a bad situation even worse by failing to move away from fossil fuels fast enough. It’s time we embrace renewables with the determination this moment requires.”
