Improve This Listing

Comfortable pub with an L-shaped lounge bar and separate dining room. It offers a good range of reasonably priced favourite dishes on the menu plus daily specials. Pictures of the pub hang on the walls, a fish tank is a pleasant feature, while some sporting memorabilia includes the pub triathlon team pictures and their dubiously named trophy! A pool table and dart board is off to one side in a section giving access to an attractive outside drinking/smoking patio overlooking a spacious garden and play area with fine views over the Wye Valley. Noted as one of the Heritage Pubs of Wales.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

The public bar of this food-led pub has barely changed since being refitted in the late 1950s. The bar-back has 'Whitbread' illuminated panels at the top, a glass block backing and some Formica shelves. Most fittings like these have been ripped out of pubs in recent years making this one a rare survivor. The counter, wood-backed fixed seating with two baffles and stone fireplace all date from the refit, the only change being a new wood counter top above the old Formica one. Note the old Bass Blue Triangle glass-fronted sign on the wall. To the right an arch leads to a room that was extended by removing a wall and fireplace. The front section retains a two door leaded glass panel hatch to the side of the bar with a Formica top and old bare-bench bay window seating. A two-part dining room on the left has no old fittings. The function room on the right can be converted to a skittle alley.
