6 guests on and a huge crowd in. Landlord pleased that my photo of the RVP at night was on the front cover of AOT. However he said he would have preferred a daytime shot. No pleasing some people. lol

Only 4 guests here today. Lots of lines being cleaned.
This building opened as a Wetherspoon's on Tuesday 29 August 2017 and is probably the largest Wetherspoon's in the country. It was designed as a dance hall by architect Stanley Davenport Adshead in 1903 and in later years operated as a casino. On two levels with a bar with 12 handpumps at ground level and another on the 1st floor balcony with 6 handpumps. Open-to-view kitchen on the ground floor. There is a ground floor rear patio and an upstairs outside covered decking area for fair weather drinking and sea and sand views. Re-opened Saturday 7th December 2024 after a 3 week closure refurbishment.
We have visited this pub 230 times, seen 193 different beers and tried 162 of them.
