Quinno _ left this review about Rickards
Modernised local. Staple shaped interior, partially in darkness and pretty charmless all-round with a nasty salmony purple colour; “a fine example of how to ruin a pub with careless modernisation” indeed. Pool table off left. Three cask: 2x Grey Trees & Brains Red Dragon (NBSS 3) which means it’s GBG listed. But frankly I wouldn’t bother unless you’re a completist.

Graham Coombs left this review about Rickards Arms Hotel
A fine example of how to ruin a pub with careless modernisation. A motley assortment of light wood furniture, recycled floorboard bar front, DIY bar back and a colour scheme of white walls with dark grey highlights does not produce a good effect and leaves you wondering what it used to be like. A curious arched TV area at the back feels more like a coal mine, perhaps to keep the locals happy. Amazingly though, the house ale is the award-winning Grey Trees Diggers Gold, in excellent condition, joined by a guest which at this point was Brecon Lovely Tackle. Friendly enough, good beer, and with a proper garden as well - perhaps it will improve in time.
