The Wellington Hotel, Penzance

Fairly basic St Austell house that's been whacked-around and feels a bit sad and scruffy. Pool and darts upstairs. Three ales on, the Tribute wasn't the best (NBSS 2) and mine must have been first out as the handle borked on first tug cos the vent was closed. Hyperactive barman who seemed to think I wanted to eat (??) and overloud music for a Friday afternoon. By far the weakest of the town’s quartet of pubs.

A nice historic three storey building on the main square, but inside is somewhat disappointing. Any original features have been removed, and the walls stripped back to white with minimal decoration, leaving a bare empty feel. There are a few tables laid up for eating but not much else. Beers from St Austell were ok but otherwise a wasted opportunity.
