| Will definitely concur with the rough and ready theme of previous posters. The Dolphin Hotel is a ‘no frills’ locals pub close to the McArthur Glen Outlet Village. Internally a single long room with a central bar serving area. The whole place has a public bar feel with a wooden floor and wooden tables and chairs. There are three plazma screens for the sport (only two in operation on my visit,) a couple of fruit machines and a pool table at one end. It’s an Arkells house as mentioned, with three handpumps on the bar, but only one was in operation dispensing 3B. Definitely a bit of a working mens club feel on this particular Saturday lunchtime with the locals bringing in the tots in pushchairs whilst they have a pint. So not a smart pub, but as I had escaped the nearby Outlet Village to find a pub showing the early live Spurs game on Sky, the pub met this task perfectly. Also a decent pint of 3B to boot and despite the locals matching the décor of the pub, they were perfectly friendly enough, even choosing to turn a blind eye when I got all excited at Spurs banging in 3..
