A three-roomed pub popular with diners and drinkers, this late-Georgian rendered building has a public bar on the left little changed in 70 years. You can arrive here by narrow boat as a series of steps and a steep slope lead up to the canal tow-path of the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal. The small public bar has a red quarry-tiled floor, and a fine bar-back fitting with mirrored panels and a drawer, all of which look to date from around 1930. The old stone fireplace has a bread oven to the left while the bench seating looks more post war and two oblong tables are possibly of oak. To the rear left is a small room with a 1930s brick fireplace. The bar counter continues in an island style but much of it was added in recent years. A room to the right of the passage has a Victorian fireplace with inlaid marble and a fine fender.
