Those looking for somewhere to eat on the Welsh side of the Severn Bridge would do well to look up this village pub, where the log burners glow with warmth in the winter and the south-facing garden is a suntrap when the weather’s clement. The kitchen makes more of an effort than many pubs in the area, using fresh produce, locally grown, thoughtfully cooked and well presented. The menu features the expected fish & chips, as well as steak and ale pie and burgers, but there are more interesting options for those that want them: slow cooked pork belly with black pudding hash; pan-fried salmon with potato and chorizo bravas. Live music, open mic nights, a big sports screen and poker all help to keep the locals interested, but families and businesses find their party and conference spaces useful too.
