Arrow

Walk into Arrow and you'll find yourself in a straightforward, no-nonsense local where people actually want to be. Positioned bang in the centre of The Forum, it's become the sort of place Yeovil locals gravitate towards when they fancy something better than chain fare but don't want the theatre of it all. The crowd's mixed—you'll catch office workers grabbing lunch, mates meeting for an evening pint, families on weekends. Food's solid rather than showy, the kind of stuff that actually tastes like something, and they clearly take their drinks seriously enough that regulars keep coming back. It's the sort of pub that doesn't need gimmicks because it gets the fundamentals right.
