HIGHBRIDGE.

The Cooper's Arms (Market Street, Somerset, TA9 3BT) (01278) 783562. The Coopers Arms is a traditional family run pub which for the last 20 years has been carefully and thoughtfully renovated by the Hayes family. The pub is conveniently situated at the centre of the bustling market town of Highbridge, close to the railway station, and offers, as it has for over a hundred years, a welcoming friendly atmosphere for locals and visitors alike. As an active member of CAMRA, the Pub is essentially a “Beer & Real Ale” pub priding itself on its excellent beers and vast selection of Real Ales attracting regulars & visitors from far and wide to sample the weekly “Special Guest Ales” (Adnams, Fullers, RCH). A function room is available for meetings and Wedding Receptions and can be catered for with a delicious selection of foods freshly prepared by Chef and owner John Hayes (by prior arrangement). Skittle competitions and regular Weekend Quizzes are just some of the many events that enable the Coopers Arms to maintain the traditional local pub atmosphere difficult to find in other pubs.
