Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Up & Udder4.00UndrinkableI had noticed that this beer seemed to be a fixture here for over 2 weeks so I passed a sample around. Awful. Second Old Dairy beer ive had here that was undrinkable.

Apparently this place is MASSIVE. Umm, not sure I'd call it that. Big yes. Everyone else ate here but not me, I just had crisps.

Early afternoon on a January weekday, most of the tables were occupied which makes me think this seafront pub will do very well in the summer months. The majority of the more interesting beers were in the upstairs bar, I have made no attempt to list them.

Early evening visit. Beautifully restored building but with no soul. I was quick to sup and leave after I had walked around to discover the layout. Bit much having 9 of the 18 handpumps selling Ruddles, Abbot and Doomeroo.

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 217 times, seen 184 different beers and tried 153 of them.
