Two-room pub on the towpath of what remains of the Risca branch of the Monmouthshire & Brecon canal. An old Welsh Brewers light is above an entrance leading to the basic main bar which has a bit of a sporting theme. The premises are much enlarged since extending into an adjoining house. This has provided a new lounge where food is served on Friday, Saturday and at Sunday lunchtime. Somewhat difficult to get to by car, but popular with cyclists and walkers and a steep climb from the main road is rewarded with fine mountain views over the valley to the local cemetery from outside seating area. There is also a garden/play area with a tiki bar alongside the pub.

Information for this venue is provided by the Gwent Branch of CAMRA
