Frome food network
Building awareness of food sustainability and the local food
A collective of 160+ people, businesses, and organisations local to the area, the Frome Food Network (FFN) facilitates collaborative action among its members towards a more vibrant and sustainable Food Town.
FFN members are involved in just about every angle of the local food environment – from growers, farmers and processors, through to restaurateurs, retailers, writers and policy informers.

Canteen Frome
Canteen – familiar food, delicious food, locally sourced. It’s accessible and affordable to all, and inspired by Stroud’s Long Table. There are two pop-up pay-what-you-can community restaurants at Trinity Hall Frome on Friday 25 October and Friday 15 November from 5 pm to 8pm. Find out more on the Canteen website.
The Frome Food Network was born out of partnership working between Edventure’s Future Shed, Frome Town Council and the local community. Read Frome Town Council’s commissioned report ‘Who Feeds Frome?’
