Whitehall, Pwllheli

As outlined below, this attractive whitewashed stone pub with lovely stained glass windows is actually very much a restaurant operation and said sofa is still in operation for that purpose. We did pop in with the intention of eating in addition to drinking but were told there were no tables spare. So we had a notably expensive pint (a cask of the Cwrw Llyn, in decent nick – NBSS 3) and warmed the sofa. One of the staff then beedled over to say that we could have a table if we could turn it round in 60 minutes, so fair play to them for being pro-active. The food was nice, if somewhat ambitiously priced for the area. The place itself is a fairly bland mid-market affair but in terms of the locale it has a niche nobody else serves.

Very much a restaurant although you can just have a drink if you must, there is a pink sofa tucked away at one end for that sort of person, along with a couple of tall tables also used for dining. A big screen also graces this area. The rest of the gaff is a dining room with a square servery but only used on two faces. Two hand pulls with average beer from local brewery Cwrw Llyn as well as national kegs and no doubt some wine, being a restaurant the service is painfully slow. There’s a place in a yard next door called Y Bar, that may or may not be related.
