Traditional local pub with fascinating history of mining attached. Friendly staff. Comfortable and clean accomodation . Very interesting mock up of a mine in the middle of the bar ! Mining memorabilia everywhere. The food is hearty Welsh food . Large portions. Like great home cooking. I could not fault any of it. Consistently busy on a weekday is good testament also. The chicken and Bombay potatoes was different but really nice. The treacle pudding huge. Everything was good quality. I will be back.
