A pub worthreturning to.

A beautiful old pub and restaurant on Usk Road, Pontypool, restored to its former glory and made for good food, good drinks and better company.

01The welcome

Leave the ordinary at the door

Old soul.
Fresh spirit.

This beautiful old pub and restaurant on Usk Road has been meticulously restored to its former glory of 30 years ago, when droves of customers would line the road, hand in hand, singing Auld Lang Syne.

Just off the Monmouthshire Canal on the outskirts of New Inn village, it’s quiet and peaceful, with a fantastic beer garden complete with gazebos and picnic tables, surrounded by open, picturesque fields. It’s also one of the best places around for traditional pub food.
