Vivian Arms Hotel

Visiting our sister for a couple of days who has a gluten free diet and I’m vegetarian. We rang to book and had helpful advice. We arrived and immediately the chef came to greet us to discuss options and reassure us that the food would be carefully prepared. We then sat to have drinks and food arrived. Lovely presented and delicious. All the staff were lovely polite and attentive. Thankyou for doing all this as it makes life more enjoyable for us

This pub was personally not my cup of tea but I will provide an honest review and the pub may well be exactly what you're looking for. The main this about this pub is the atmosphere. It is a LOUD and LIVELY pub with live music, singing and live sports. Personally I like a quiet meal and am sensitive to noise so this didn't do it for me but I am sure that if you are looking for an enthusiastic and friendly environment, this is for you! The food was both good and bad. My brother's medium-rare steak was served well-done and my American Burger (bacon and cheese) tasted char grilled and of not much else. However the mixed grill was fantastic and the skinny fries were among the best I've had. The rest of our party were happy with theirs and the restaurant accommodates gluten free, dairy free and vegan options so definitely a well done for that. 🥳 The beer was good. Waitress didn't know what was what (which is weird for a local pub) but there's a good selection and waitress gave a perfect serve so you won't be disappointed. There is seating both inside and outside, a pool table and a smoking area. I would say wheelchair users would struggle to fit so will have to say not wheelchair accessible. Live music was great and live sports on TV was easy to see and easy to hear (but as I said it was too loud for me so that one will be up to you). Overall a good experience. A solid local pub with a great (but specific) atmosphere. Thanks! Summary: - Loud, lively, sports and music. - Food OK and prices reasonable. - Plenty of seating but not not wheelchair accessible.
