New Inn

The splendid unaltered snug on the left was the original public room and this was a ‘no bar’ pub until 1964. The tiny room has an old flagstone floor with some quarry-tiles near the fireplace, old panelled dado on the walls, one small wall bench on the window side, and a range fireplace as it originally doubled up as the licensee’s kitchen. Beer would have been carried from the cellar in jugs until a little bar counter was added in 1964. The present main bar on the right is a conversion of a small second public room with part of the living accommodation carried out in 1987, which is the date of the bar fittings. The main bar has an early twentieth century tiled, cast iron and wood surround fireplace in the left hand half i.e. the second room that was only used for special occasions such as the village Eisteddfod. A Breconshire real ale alternates with Timothy Taylor’s Landlord and they are served from a polypin ‘out the back’ so please ask for real ale as there are few indications that it is on sale.
