This Pub is Closed Long Term

Sometimes quoted as the third most haunted inn in Wales, this old 16th century freehouse was once home to Monmouth Fine Ales back in the 1980s. During the Civil War it was reputed to be a regular haunt of Oliver Cromwell during his campaign hereabouts and there is a story where an assassination attempt was foiled with a Cavalier being shot in the bar. The spacious front bar has a partly leather clad ceiling believed to date from those times. It was acquired from a pub company in May 2013 to become a free house. Live gigs were held every Sunday and Wednesday evenings at 8.45pm, and occasionally on Thursdays but these ceased in October 2023.

Update March 2024: The pub closed in December 2023 and remains closed. The future of the pub is uncertain. If you have further news please let us know.

Historic Interest

Grade II Listed. The pub claims to be 16th century but the listing says newer than that with only the section gabled to the street being genuinely 17th century; substantially rebuilt in 1922. Historic Wales / CADW reference 2330.
