exciting Christmas celebrations which are planned, Barry continues
to attract visitors from further afield.

residents and tourists.”
The stylishly decorated public house allows customers to enjoy a
drink or a delicious meal seated in comfortable leather booths or
on relaxing sofas.

port and was chosen by local resident Joan Clissett
