Large pub by Penarth station. Right-hand side with its own door akin to a lounge bar, boarded by the entrance apart from a tile skirt along the bar counter, which is along the left-hand side. The raised right-hand side of the lounge is carpeted and regular tables and chairs with a leather banquette along part of the right-hand wall. A large TV was showing recorded footy action from the last weekend. A lot of railway themed prints on the walls. There is a large, paved seating area at the side with patio style basket furniture and some cover at the very back. The public bar on the left-hand side of the venue has a smaller bar counter on the right-hand wall and this side is a long rectangle away from the bar counter, boarded for the most part but some pattered ceramic tiles over towards the left-hand wall. There is a skittles alley down one side and a lot more TV's showing the same recorded footy action and the women's World Cup cricket. There is a pool table and a darting area with a mixture of tall tables and regular tables. Was popular on visit with an after-work crowd.
