A Look Around Viva - Torquay's New Leisure Extravaganza

Torquay has just welcomed a vibrant new entertainment hub - making waves as it throws open its doors to the public in November.

Viva, as it is aptly named, is set to redefine leisure and entertainment in Torquay, offering a heady mix of cocktails, delicious cuisine, and an exciting array of games and activities for all ages. This family-run venture has transformed the iconic 400 Club at 26-27 Victoria Parade, with stunning harbour views, into a multi-story extravaganza, creating a sensation in the coastal town. Check out our photos below.

A Fusion of Fun and Flavours

Viva, an establishment run by the East Street Pub Company, brings a fresh, fun, and funky vibe to Torquay. Founded by the dynamic duo, Steve and Annie Narvidge, Viva is now managed by their equally enthusiastic sons, Xander and Sammi. The venue showcases an array of experiences to cater to diverse tastes, and it's clear that this family knows how to create a buzz.

The ground floor of Viva is home to a bustling restaurant, serving up diverse and delectable street-style food from 10am. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty brunch or a late-night snack, Viva's kitchen has something for every palate. This is the place where culinary delights and entertainment seamlessly come together to create unforgettable memories.

We tried the Honey Buffalo House Cut Fries, for a very reasonable £8 you get a large bowl of cut, double fried & seasoned fries, with chopped chicken strips coasted in a sticky buffalo sauce with American cheese - very tasty! We also had the Mac and Cheese version of the same, also at £8. There is a large drinks menu, we tried two mocktails, a bargain at £4 each.
