The Vivary Arms, Taunton

Pleasant, cosy and respectable pub with a friendly landlord and decent beer. The walls of the Gents are festooned with cuttings consisting of jokes.

The atmosphere in this pub on a Friday and Saturday night is terrific. Usually packed as there is a band playing. People of all ages although maturity dominates - but the clientele seem to be in good humour even when you bump into them endlessly. The decor is tired and, to be honest, has a bit of a touch of faux-oldness, but the landlord is a bloody good egg and always friendly.

I do like this pub. It's pricey but the beer is good and the pub itself has a lot of character. The staff tend to be young ladies, some of whom seem to be chosen for their loveliness rather than their knowledge of how to pull a pint, but it is usually a pleasant atmosphere and the landlord always say 'hello'.
