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.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Marston's - Bass4.40GoodServed slightly cold there was the trademark sulphurous tang, hints of toffee and a long bitter finish.
