Built in 1845, the Brit has a relaxed atmosphere with rustic, quirky surroundings. The pub was renovated in the recent past, with an eye for unusual interior design and antiques and there is something interesting wherever you look. The bar itself was made from the old doors and floorboards taken from upstairs during the renovation and there is a section of rail used to hold up the ceiling of the restaurant from "The Great Exhibition" at Crystal Palace in 1851.

Four handpumps serve two ciders and two rotating cask ales, all usually from Welsh regional orchards and breweries. Food is made on the premises with Pub Classics being served at lunchtimes and Tuesday evenings. Other evenings see a selection of A La Carte specials being served. On Sundays they serve a traditional Sunday Roast between 12-6pm, with a Sunday take away service advertised.

There is a beautiful garden to the rear that looks over the river Afan and is a haven for anyone wanting a tranquil setting. They have acoustic music evenings every second Thursday, Live Music on Friday evenings and a popular quiz on a Sunday evening. Real Ale and Cider festivals are held every summer.
