Owen Glendower – to give him his name translated from Welsh into English – was the last Welsh Prince of Wales, the title now held by some bald bloke with a scruffy beard; Meibion Glyndŵr (Sons of Glendower) was the Welsh nationalist group that would burn down your English-owned Welsh holiday cottage from the ‘70s to ‘90s.
With ‘Croeso’ (‘Welcome’) above the door, the pub is situated in an attractive location by a church and opposite an outdoor art market, held in wooden cabanas. Otherwise, it’s as mentioned below, in effect a rather downmarket, sub-‘spoons sports’ bar, with raised carpeted area and the multitude of TVs (some individual ones to booths) showing either unwatched cricket or motor racing.
I was furnished with a half of the Rev. James, part of a round as no price was recorded, as unmemorable as predicted.
A poor pub, serving only dull England-brewed cask beer, somewhat ironically.

The curved exterior is noteworthy and it sits near a significent church but the interior is far less impressive.There are many flatscreens and some seating booths have their own screens,the interior winds around at multiple levels and there is a first floor gallery.
The bar has two sets of handpumps,one dedicated to cider leaving just two handpumps on the other rank dedicated to ale,a choice of Marston's Rev. James and Wye Valley Hopfather,flacid NBSS 2.
I was amazed that the local CAMRA branch consider this sports bar suitable for the 2025 GBG. I would give it a very wide berth .

Oh dear. Not sure what this pub is trying to be. A JDW Style eatery with cheap eats? A sports pub with many, many TV Screens. A casino, with lots of puggies?
They lost me with the lack of bar-stewardry. A 30ft bar manned by a single operative who simply shouted "Who's Next" - at people spaced far apart. Its your job to manage this. Maybe orderly JDW style queues are not all bad. She then stuffed a very Locale welsh brewery ale (in fine condition) into a London Pride glass. A pet hate of mine. Not London Pride. Inappropriate glassware.
A 10am opener. Which looked a bit sketchy at 10am. I only walked past at this time, coming back later :-)
