This popular pub is very close to the Roman attractions providing a refreshment stop either before or after your visit. An historic hostelry, it is believed to have once been the kitchens and bakery of the priory (when it was a real priory) opposite.

A modern extension into what was a next-door betting shop accompanied a full refurbishment. The interior has a traditional public bar with some settles, while the larger room has loads of exposed stonework and low wooden beams. This room has an interesting irregular layout with a number of seating areas on two levels with one cosy corner having a corner-fitted dresser displaying old crockery items among other things. Strategically placed TVs ensure you shouldn't miss any major sports event at especially busy times. Old pictures of Caerleon are on the walls near the toilets.

A food menu includes some interesting non-meat options.

Outside, very close to the roman baths, is a seating area.
