Playas @ The Pavilion opened on 4th July 2020 after the covid lockdown was lifted, having originally been intended to be ready for Easter. It replaces the Al Fresco café with a larger outside drinking and dining area with views out towards the pier and the sea. No real ales when we first visited, though a couple of craft brews on tap available from Camden brewery (e.g Camden Pale Ale).
