Two hand pumps providing Wadworth 6X and the Wye Valley HPA with one hand pump unclipped. Keg offering of Madri, Jute session IPA, Rekorderlig strawberry & lime cider, Pravha, Alpacalypse, Sharps Atlantic Pale Ale, Staro, the Orchard Gold cider from Gwynt Y Ddraig, Fandango from Wye Valley, Aspall cider and Guinness.
Pleasant dining orientated pub, one of two in the RAF base hamlet of St Athan. Bar area is bare boarded with bar counter along rear wall opposite entrance with some tall stool seating at the counter. Seating around the bar area are some tall tables and a nice sofa around a fire with a single table over to the right of the entrance. The main dining area is to the left-hand side with regular tables and chairs and there is a very nice seating area out the back for better weather parts of the year with a mixture of paving and lawn. Very classy venue that I will return to try the dining at some point.
