| Shocking! The pub looks promising – nicely presented outside and the interior gives the impression of being recently decorated, but that’s as far as it goes. Eventually someone came in from the back bar to serve us. There were 10 beer engines on the bar, but only 4 ales on, and one of those, Exmoor Fox, was horrible. We also ordered 2 gin and tonics, but were short measured on one of them and when raised with the barmaid was told it was because there was more ice in the other one! Despite the temptation to walk out, we stayed. We were about half way through our drinks when all hell broke out in the back bar. There was the sound of breaking glasses and clearly a fight ensued which spilled onto the street outside. At no time did any of the staff come to the front bar to put us at our ease, or explain/apologise for the disruption. Finishing our drinks, we left as quickly as we could, saying goodbye to the empty bar, and will be very unlikely to return. DumnoniiNomad - 9 May 2017 14:21 |
| Formerly the Tap pub for the Breconshire Brewery but taken over in Sept 2013 and re-opened in March 2014 free of any tie. Now a smart 2 bar pub with a lovely enclosed riverside patio pub garden with its bench seating, large umbrellas and excellent views of the River Usk and the Brecon Beacons beyond. Good Ales from local breweries were on and a good pint of Cwrw Haf from the Tomos Watkins brewery was had. I jimshoppenus - 4 Nov 2014 17:37 |
| They said they didn't do food when we called in recently. The front bar seemed to have been smartened up a bit, and although it's still a bit sparse I've always found the ales first rate. There's a decent chippy almost next door too. eddybeer - 2 Apr 2013 18:39 |
| Sparse front bar with dartboard and TV (no jukebox) and rear function room. Breconshire Brewery's Ramblers Ruin, Golden Valley and Welsh Pale Ale. paul_d102 - 7 Jul 2012 17:56 |
