The impressive feature of this three-roomed pub is the glazed screen around the servery, one of very few left in Wales. There is another at the Dovey Valley Hotel, Cemmaes Road and a more modest one at the Fox, Ysceifiog. Opposite a hatch there is a narrow snug with tongue-and-grooved panelling on the walls and pointed ceiling. Fixed seating runs down both sides and at the end is a small extension containing a dining room. The lounge bar at the front was two small rooms until 2000 and has a bar counter possibly added c1960 and fireplace of similar age. The public bar at the rear has bar fittings that could also date from c.1960 and a small extension containing a pool table.

New Year’s Day is the pub's busiest of the year with the local hunt starting from here at 11am and the pub opens from 8.30am serving Cawl (Welsh lamb stew) all day.
The Champion Beer of Britain is one of the most prestigious beer competitions in the world. It is the ultimate honour for UK brewers and has helped put many into the national spotlight.
Judging for the competition takes around a year, starting with individual nominations from CAMRA members and tasting panel nominations, leading to a series of rigorous regional heats adhering to a strict blind tasting policy.
