| Rambling pub about ten minutes walk from the new Risca train station. Well worth getting off to stretch the legs with a pint or two of excellent beer as a reward. It is very much a community pub. A unique feature is that the smoker's annex is a veranda at the front of the pub overlooking the road which gives the place a vague Wild West feel. simontheeditor - 27 Mar 2013 18:48 |
| This was the second consecutive pub called the Commercial, having previously visited the Commercial in Abertillery. This was much better, with an imaginative selection of real ales. It was our favourite pub of the day. The spacious main room is split into two sections and divided by a fireplace. TVs are scattered everywhere, making it popular with sports fans. The bar has a modern feel and is popular with youngsters who were also enjoying the suntrap verandah (yes, sun in Wales) overlooking the main road. Beers on were Brewsters Rutterkin, Thornbridge Sequoia, Wentworth Oyster Stout and Leyden Forever Bury. The barmaid vowed to mention to the landlord that people had been asking for a real cider. Whilst the Good Beer Guide indicates they sell one, I had to make do with the stout! This pub appears to have a reputation locally. We heard people talking about it several miles down the road and 3 pubs later in the Tredegar Arms at Bassaleg. So well worth a visit, if you're passing by along the M4. blue_scrumpy - 4 Jul 2011 20:21 |
