This much favoured pub sits alongside the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal. It is run by an enthusiastic young team and attracts passing trade from walkers, cyclists and barge-going folk as well as being frequented by its band of loyal regulars. The small intimate bar is where the real ale handpumps are arrayed, dispensing ales from a range of national and regional brewers. A cosy snug is accessed from the bar while the lounge doubles as a dining room. Outside there are extensive grounds with a children’s play area plus a decked area alongside the canal towpath. The menu is comprehensive offering a wide range of dishes including substantial breakfasts (9-11.45am), Starters, Vegetarian, Little Italy, Burgers & Dogs, From the Grill, Pie Corner, Fish, Favourites, Baguettes, Jackets, Children's, Desserts, plus Weekly Specials, using locally sourced ingredients. The pub's historical links with the canal has recently (Aug 2021) seen the revival of the Boater's Signing In Book for water borne visitors.
