The Vivary Arms is a very quaint, historic listed building set in the very attractive suburb of Vivary Park. With a large, central, bar servery; the trading area spans three distinct areas all visible from the central point. Through the entrance into the bar, you are greeted with an ornate wooden bar servery and a mixture of loose seating and natural wooden tables for around 20 covers. A rustic timber opening separates the games area complete with a pool table and dart board. This section features an original brick floor and a large inglenook fireplace. The dining area is split level accommodating 40 plus covers, with a stone fireplace and button Drayton upholstered fixed seating, dining tables and chairs. The fully fitted trade kitchen is of a good size for the pub, with a good range of stainless-steel commercial equipment and direct access to the dining area. The beautifully decorated frontage that comprises hanging baskets and pot plants are pretty additions that certainly make the pub stand out when passing. To the rear, an enclosed beer garden with an incorporated smoking solution contains wooden benches, with a central palm tree and greenery around the perimeter. There is scope to develop a small increase in covers utilising the outdoor areas during the warm summer months. Following some water damage, we are in the final stages of preparing this business to reopen.
