About The Old Custom House

The Old Custom House in Penarth is a historic waterfront building that reflects the town’s rich maritime past. Once used for customs and trade during Penarth’s busy dock era, it now stands as an attractive landmark overlooking the marina, blending heritage character with modern use. Its distinctive architecture and prominent position make it a familiar and well loved feature of the seafront.

Today, The Old Custom House is home to two popular restaurants - La Marina and El Puerto - offering a relaxed place to eat and drink with views across the water. Inside, the space combines original features with a warm, contemporary feel, while outdoor seating is ideal on warmer days.
