Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Dolphin Inn
Splendid pub located opposite the famous fishermens' net lofts and near the East Hill Lift. Cosy rooms on each side of the serving area, with some extra seating outside on the front terrace. Six beers available from handpump - Harveys, Dark Star Hophead, Directors, Tribute, Betty Stogs and Hop Back Taiphoon (£3.20). Absolutely heaving on a fine bank holiday Monday, but the staff were working very efficiently. Well worth seeking out

An excellent family run pub with a very friendly atmosphere and great real ales. With a promise of a micro brewery coming soon to their cellar, I'll certainly be visiting again.

A very good pub in the old town and opposite the beach and fishermen's huts.Has a bar with three sides with the pub being adorned with many artefacts concerning the sea.On my visit there were five real ales on and the ones that I tried were in great form.Outside drinking area overlooking the beach.Well worth a visit.

Very good beer selection, but definite vibes of "Royston Vasey".
I was glad that my brother knew one of the locals because otherwise I am sure that they would have eaten us.
I'll give the place 8/10. It would get 9/10, but for the scary locals.

Situated across the road from the sea in the old part of town is the Dolphin. Finally, I think I have found a pub that contains all the elements that you like in a pub in one place. The quality control of the real ales is second to none, even the pipes are cooled to the correct temperature ensuring that you get a perfect pint in perfect condition every time. The pub is family run and you receive a really warm welcome when you walk in and the locals are very friendly and helpful. There are 6 pumps that rotate on a regular basis ensuring you will return time and time again. I cannot rate this pub high enough, perfect beer in a perfect pub. In addition they have music events and special foody nights!
