Yr Hen Orsaf, Aberystwyth

Visited here on a Saturday at lunchtime. it was pretty busy and service took 10min, mainly because one of the staff was patiently dealing with an elderly lady at the bar. Beer & food ok, as usual for Wetherspoons. no problem getting a seat. The place was busy, filled with all sorts of people talking, eating & drinking which was quite nice. Very communal.

The Pickwick Inn, St Issey

Great pub, quiet when we were there on a rainy day out of season but you can imagine it's heaving in the summer. Interesting theme items adourn the walls, food was great, beer good.

London Inn, Watchet

Strange but delightful setup. If you want to eat, as we did, you are lead through a long narrow corridor up some stairs and just as you begin to wonder what's going on, a spacious room with a high ceiling and stunning views appears! Magic. there are 2 large windows so if you want a good view, phone ahead and reserve a table.
The food was great; Lamb shanks & veg. Cooked by the landlady who seems to have great ability. Ale was very good. Landlord very chatty, nice bloke. Great pub , just add a few more 'pub decorations' to liven the look up a bit and for goodness sake advertise the dining room better, it's a gem.
