See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

A Brains house with an open plan interior with dining at one end and a more traditional public bar at the other. It is a versatile establishment in that it is a comfortable environment that caters for either formal or informal dining or drinking, or a place to enjoy live sport. Look out for seasonal specials and attractive dining deals among the food offerings. It's a welcome refreshment stop after the challenge of the steep climb to/from the Scenic Forest Drive and Twmbarlwm. There is disabled access and a WC but access could be a bit tricky, it may be advisable to ask staff for assistance or check before your visit. An extensive refurbishment in late 2016 heralded the arrival of a new menu and additional cask ales.
