Revitalised roadside pub just off the main road system, close to a large Tesco store, and a short walk to/from Pontypool Park. It has recently benefited (late 2018) from further major investment to greatly enhance the dining experience with a wide range of dishes that will change periodically. The entrance, which is festooned in greenery in summer, has a cosy sofa with a collage of wine corks and framed beer coasters. The attractive interior is now lighter with smart new furniture in the dining space. Low ceilings, subdued lighting and comfortable sofas lend an overall cosy feel to the place. Note the elegant figures of an angel astride a unicorn in one lit recess and old pictures of the pub, Albion Road and surrounds. TV screens are available for sports. The real ales are the popular choice while a guest ale may be sourced from local breweries. '
