The Pen Cob (JD Wetherspoon), Pwllheli

A medium sized spoons opposite the railway station and probably the best (only?) bet for decent ale in the town. A long more narrow place, the left hand side is set up more for dining with low tables and chairs, pretty much matching and there’s a bit of banquette seating. This side has panelling and an impressive stone fireplace. The mid section is furnished in similar manner and in case you were worried the right hand end has the tall furniture. That end is almost a separate room as a residual panelled wall divides it off. There are machines but no screens, not even a news channel on mute with amusing subtitles. Beer wise it’s a five plus five set up with all pumps duplicated, Abbot and Doom were backed up with one local, one from Suffolk and a nice beer from Nottingham brewery. Good staffing but let down by an out of date app. Toilets are as usual, Narnia like but in the basement, where there’s a blue leather sofa for some reason, waiting for your wife/significant other to finish in the ladies?
