| Next visit January 2011. Looking forward to a pint outside with friends and the Springers, Toby and Bill. First had a pint of black velvet here in 1971 when I shouldn't have! Great spot. Barn_Bat_Boy - 27 Nov 2010 15:51 |
| Good news to report on the real ale front: the Ty Coch now has TWO ales on, both well kept. They tend to change around, but over the last few weeks they've had Boondoggle, Marstons Old Empire plus a variety from Purple Moose over in Porth Madog. Happy times indeed. mhanley - 8 Sep 2010 16:18 |
| I bet this one's not on BITE, I'm thinking to myself as I'm striding out along the beach over the wet shingle towards the pub. I now know of course that it is and that I'm not the first to post. However neither Trainman nor Roger B, nor any of the other intrepid regulars have made it yet. The Ty Coch Inn is situated on the north coast of North Wales's Lleyn Peninsula, not too far from Morfa Nefyn and probably wins the John Bonser award for the most remote pub visited by me to date. To get to the pub, you have to walk across the beach as it is inaccessible by road except to golfers ( there's a course up on the cliff tops behind ) or regulars, presumably. It's on a remote stretch of beach in an area with a dozen houses at most, which appear to be mainly holiday homes. On the afternoon of my visit, I was fortunate enough to arrive just before the pub closed for the afternoon. My understanding that the pub would be open all afternoon obviously proving incorrect.The landlord did say to another customer that they only opened in the evenings at weekends out of season now, not worth it during the week. There's no real ale - as Mr Hanley points out - but bottles of beer from the relatively local Purple Moose Brewery in Porthmadog were prominently displayed on the bar. I enjoyed a bottle of Glaslyn Ale, which is described as a slightly sweet best bitter. It's golden in colour with an ABV of 4.2%. This seems to me to be a relatively unspoilt pub. It's situated right on the beach virtually and the view's the main attraction though. I enjoyed the visit, but don't forget to bring a dog ( hiring or kidnapping one if necessary!) if you don't want to feel slightly out of place JohnBonser - 24 Sep 2009 12:38 |
| OK, normally a pub with no real ale on handpump would get a dire rating from me, but... This pub is unique. It's on the beach (literally, part of the tiny Porth Dinllaen village of about ten houses) and there's no way to get to it without walking. Following comments, the landlady has started selling local BOTTLED real ales (ie bottle conditioned), which I guess means I can give it a good rating with a clear conscience. Anyway, the pub: you can sit outside at tables or on the beach and look out over the bay out to sea and to Snowdon in the distance, with the gentle waves lapping the shore. Quite lovely, and the village has the kind of micro-climate tourist boards would kill for. And if it's cold, then decamp to inside and cosy-up in front of the fires! The locals are friendly, and most of them are happy to talk about the place. Oh, and it has live bands (the bigger ones will be on the beach) during summer. mhanley - 13 May 2008 11:09 |
