Ulterior Motives
29 AprJune 2026 in Somerset (… and the ulterior coffee motive)
June in Somerset arcs from the last weekend of Bath International Music Festival to dawn on Glastonbury Tor summer solstice gathering on the 21st.
"Round Hill Roasters on the filter, and the cup holds up: fruit character, clarity, a finish that stays. The most coffee-literate stop in Frome."
27 Catherine Hill, Frome BA11 1BY, UK
Loud Mouth roasts its own coffee in a commerce park unit on the edge of Frome. Go for the rotating single origins; take a bag home.
Round Hill Roastery runs the beans here, and the setting is a working classic car restoration yard on Frome's edge. Both are the point.
Loud Mouth roast on-site at Black Swan Arts, sell direct, and have named their coffees Jaw Dropper, Proper Gobby and Dizzy Lips with full conviction. The espresso is the point; the bag of beans is the souvenir.
