Stylish L-shaped bar opposite the old 'Nylon' factory on the A4042. Selling 'traditional' food until 9pm. Entrance to the car park is deceptively close to the roundabout. The name is thought to be derived from the Welsh for meadow 'Waen' although Clare could be either an interpretation of 'Clar' who were itinerant minstrels, or because it stood on a parcel of land once owned by the Clares, a well-known local family.
