Charming hillside pub giving excellent views over Cwmbran and beyond towards the Severn Estuary. The split level interior has a cosy parlour on the lower level with a coal fire and a gallery of old pictures of the pub and its surrounds. The higher level has comfy fireside sofas as well as various games such as darts, table skittles and dominos. Note the old taps fixed in to the beam above the bar. In fine weather the adjacent deck patio and another area immediately in front of the premises are popular. The pub offers a variety of evening activities with a Sunday quiz, DIY music on Monday, live bands most Fridays, and other occasional music events. On the food front there are handmade pizzas (Tuesday & Friday), a very popular curry night (Wednesday, booking advised), and steak night on Thursday. Two guest ales (three at weekends) primarily from smaller breweries in south Wales and the West Country are usually on sale plus a range of ciders. The No 1 bus service operates longer hours around the corner from the bottom of Bethel Lane.
