Not as busy as expected for a mid Sunday evening in this friendly locals pub. The Welsh language dominated here with the odd English phrase chucked in for good measure!

Genuinely friendly locals pub on the harbourside. Dog friendly too. Even offered to look after my dog whilst I went up the road for a meal.Now that's service.

On a wet and windy afternoon the Pen Cei offered sanctuary to a wet dog and its equally wet owner. Note: there is a separate lounge where dogs are NOT allowed.
