The Pilot Penarth
A proper Penarth local where the ale selection is taken seriously and the food actually holds its own against the drinks.

Walk down Queen's Road towards the seafront and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that feels like it's been getting better with age rather than just existing. The Pilot pulls in everyone from the nearby Marina crowd to proper regulars who've been nursing pints here for years, and somehow it all works. You're getting quality cask ales—the kind where the bar staff actually know what they're talking about—paired with proper gastropub food that doesn't pretend to be fancier than it is. It's the sort of place where you can rock up solo for a drink and leave with mates, or settle in for a proper Sunday lunch without feeling like you're on show.
