Penlan Fawr, Pwllheli

As previously described a splendid old building on the outside, inside the front room is the original building and although messed about isn’t bad, slate floor, beamed ceiling, big open fire. Behind is an extension that isn’t well done, the counter is to the right in this part, due to covid it’s all screened in on a semi permanent basis. A few screens and a jukebox intrude. Some old outhouses have been converted into toilets and incorporated into the rear extension. When the barman got off his arse the choice wasn’t great, a pump with a Wainwright clip offered a dodgy chance but for better or worse it wasn’t on, no joy with the bottles either so Stella it was.

This would appear to be a very old building, but on entering it has been knocked through into one large room with a dominant pool table and the redeeming feature of a real fire. On the bar there was a single pump with Hancock's HB so I asked the landlord if there were any other real ales and he replied "bottles of Doom Bore or Newcastle Brown". At this point I remembered that my train was leaving soon and left.
