Rhyl.
A few days away took us back to Rhyl, and the fact that everywhere in the town centre was packed took us back to The Cob & Pen.
This was the right decision. It’s still a great pub. There’s still great beer, and friendly, helpful, efficient staff, and great food (at lunchtime, for now). Additionally, the covid-19 precautions are both sensible and comprehensive, without ruining the experience.
