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

This pleasant country pub with its striking coat of arms on its sign, lies conveniently on the old road between Raglan and Mitchell Troy, about 4 miles from Monmouth. The interior is traditional but in a modern style with a small intimate public bar at the front. This displays a small London & North Western Railway notice that reminds that the railway line was once nearby, the old trackbed now lying under the busy A40 running opposite. Note also the old cash register on the bar. At the rear is a lounge (giving access to the garden and play area) with a section for darts and pool plus a large TV screen. Adjacent but quite separate is the pleasant dining room. The food offering here is extensive with lists of home-made dishes, fish and grills, specials, bar meals and a childrens' menu. The single guest ale is changed most weeks with Wye Valley Brewery beers being popular.
