Well established community pub, one of several built when Cwmbran was developing as a new town. A few years ago the public bar and lounge were knocked into one large open plan room although a mirrored partition gives an impression of separate sections. It has all the trappings of a 21st century pub with darts, pool, gaming machines, and TVs. The lounge/dining section has modern artwork displayed around the walls; note also the pub's golf society honours board near the entrance. The extensive menu offers a wide choice of dishes to suit most tastes. One of three handpumps is used to dispense a rapidly changing guest ale primarily from the Marston's or Brains stables. Bus stop outside for the local circular service which finishes in the early evening.
