After being closed for a lengthy period in 2018 a 'community benefit society' was formed and they raised enough money to buy the freehold in November 2018. Restoration of the community pub was mainly with volunteer labour and the pub reopened in 2021. Nicely refurbished with old photos and an old pub sign on the wall. There's a smaller front room and a larger back room. A family friendly pub (high chairs available) that is enjoyed by locals and visitors.
One ale from local breweries, including the Cwrw Llyn brewery, around half a mile away, and another Welsh beer from further afield are served. About half of the keg beers are also local Welsh beers, including from Cwrw Llyn and Wild Horse. There has recently been a community garden with a gazebo created by the pub, which is used by the community.
The pub has diversified by opening an outdoor events space to help improve health and wellbeing, tackle loneliness and give the opportunity for locals to learn new skills. See the CAMRA article for more details.
