Dock, Penzance

Good Beer Guide 2021 Entry. A real mixture of punters - workers from the docks, old boys, tourists who have booked rooms, ramblers. A top level bar with a real fire is prime location. Down some steps and some nice ox-blood chesterfields and tables laid out for dining. Outdoor smoking terrace around the back. Lovely welcome, good service, dog friendly and a decent first pint of Potion Number 9 from Penzance Brewery.

The pub is still much as described by others, below. The smoking shelter at the back is quite malodorous, a shame given that it is necessary to traverse this when using the B&B facilities outside opening hours. There is a very limited amount of parking at the front. Food was freshy cooked and good value and they were very helpful in providing a doggy bag when asked. The accommodation was basic but good enough for a night. Three ales on draught – Doombar, Spingo IPA and one I forgot to note down. The beer was in excellent condition, justifying the GBG entry, and I’d be very happy to come back here.
