Work was going on today (September 20) on converting a former restaurant in Frome's market place.

And it's turning Japanese.

The team behind the Prickly Pear in Bruton have announced they are opening at the former Home site at 21 Market Place. That closed in January. due to spiralling energy costs.

They posted on their social page : Do stay tuned for news on the opening of our 2nd venture, Inoshishi, a Japanese Izakaya* in the heart of Frome expected to open in around 2 months time!

*Izakaya (居酒屋) are casual eating and drinking places all over Japan. It means "stay-drink-place"
