| Visited in September 2009. The Rhos Fynach is situated in the seaside village of Rhos-on-Sea, which is between Colwyn Bay and Llandudno. It's on the sea front road, but on the other side of the road from the beach. The building is reputed to be the oldest building in the locality and parts of it date back to 1181. The building is also reputed to be on the site of an outpost of a former nearby monastery. If you want to know more about the pub's history, it's stop number 5 in the Rhos-on-Sea Heritage Trail, the booklet for which you can pick up from the nearby Tourist Information Centre. The pub is much larger than it looks from the outside and clearly has been extended much at the back. The pub is set back from the promenade road and there's an extensive terraced outside seating area at the front and a walled grassy garden area. The first thing you notice as you approach the entrance is the proliferation of notices on the door telling do what you can't do - don't swear or use foul language, don't consume any food on the premises if not bought at the pub, don't climb or sit on the terrace walls.....(etc). You're also told that you're on CCTV. We've all seen these notices at pubs before, they just seemed much more numerous and noticeable here than one usually expects. The Rhos Fynach describes itself as a "Tavern and Restaurant" and is primarily geared towards holidaymakers. But it's a reasonably traditional, welcoming and pleasant interior, with an upstairs restaurant and downstairs bar area. On the beer front, a sign by the entrance refers to the pub as "Banks's" and also "Free House", so I wasn't sure what to expect at first. Beers on were Banks Bitter, Banks Gold and Jennings Crag Rat, which would indicate the former, but the decent collection of pump clips might suggest otherwise. This is a more than reasonable pub to pop in to if you're in the vicinity. JohnBonser - 6 Apr 2010 09:23 |
