This village pub, which had been closed for quite a while, reopened its doors on the 5th March 2025 as a Bar and Restaurant. The long spacious building is entered by a central hallway, with a Lounge on the left side and a square Main Bar area on the right, with a patio Beer Garden at the rear and to the side.

It holds a quiz on some Tuesday evenings. Food is served later in the Week and on Sunday Lunchtimes.

History: The pub was originally a coaching inn, serving passing trade on the Swansea to Carmarthen road, which is now the A48.
