| Having visited Abersychan an hour before and found this pub closed, we had given it up as closed for good. The landlord of the White Hart opposite certainly wasn't going to dispel any thoughts that it had bitten the dust. Nevertheless, on returning from the Globe at Talywain, we happened to notice people sat outside. We ventured in and found a much friendlier place than nextdoor. It wasn't much cleaner, with dog hairs matted into the carpet and the young owner or barman swatting the swarms of flies over the pool table with a child's tennis racket. No real ales are served. In fact the drinks range was severely limited with only Worthingtons Creamflow, Carling, Guinness & Thatchers Gold available on keg. I got the impression that the pub had only just re-opened under new management. They were keen to impress and were eager to direct us to the garden, where there were presumably less flies. We opted to stay inside where music was playing alongside a blairing TV. I would still prefer this to the miserable service in the White Hart across the road and I'm glad that there are people still willing to give the pub trade a go. Good luck to them. But for now, I can only award 3/10. blue_scrumpy - 4 Jul 2011 19:53 |
| described in Camra guide as 'an unspoilt village local'. Yes if your village is Royston Vasey. Extremely unwelcoming, filthy dirty and the barmaid was pissed off at having customers cos she wanted to go to the chippy. opposite Jimbo Smith - 7 May 2004 22:18 |
