The Rheola, Porth

Lovely wooden facaded Tudor styled building, indeed it has a picture of Henry VII on the outside as 'the king's head', presumably as he passed through Shrewsbury on his way to Bosworth where he defeated Richard III. The interior is again, Tudor styled and a bit twee, but i didnt find it that run down, nor the bogs that pungent, as had been reported to me. TV in main room, with ceefax on for the footy scores. Usual taps with no real ale, it did at least have M&B MILD, which was decent enough, but again, with a plethora of quality places to drink, why bother with this one

What a fine pub, I’ve been going here for longer than I care to remember. Real ales consist of Draught Bass, Brains SA Gold, and a guest beer which is put on on a Friday and is usually empty by Saturday. This has to be the best pub in Porth, if not the lower Rhonnda, it is friendly and trouble free. Monday is Quiz Night, while on Thursday and Saturday there is a singer. Well worth a visit, but make sure you're here before 10pm, as the door is locked, but if you ask nicely the staff will let you out!
