The New Inn, Talgarth

Visited the New Inn, first time in years in Talgarth and thought that I would do the rounds.

Of the rest of the pubs in the area is that they are fundermentaly the same as they always were, which answers the question of why I have not been in Talgarth for a drink in so long!

Back to the New Inn, a wonderful oasis in the middle of what should be a waste land.

I found on entering a wonderful warm welcome, polite staff and a very chaty landlord and lady (thought the landlord was english but on talking to him found out that he was from Llantrisant area and was very well conected through historical family (a freeman of Llantrisant 'the black army').

Decoration:Leather sofas and tub chairs, dine on high back leather chairs with soft ambiant lighting. The bar its self needs a face lift which I metioned and was told that the bar is moving and completly being rebuilt in wood with wooden top. Nice carpet and wooden floors.

John Smiths was �2-30, real ales �2-50 (three pumps constant revolving guest ales), larger from �2-30 upto �2-60 for Stella! Good stock of welsh ales.

Food, all home made. I hade a wonderful Steak and Ale pie with veg �7-95 great value!

I will be visiting more often and bringing my family and friends.

Almost forgot, live music every Saturday evening, from Folk music, Rock and Roll etc....

Well done the New Inn, well done indeed!!!!
