What a gem. Six hand pumps with regularly changing local ales all in excellent condition. Friendly, helpful staff, great pub food reasonably priced and spotlessly clean. Will definitely be going back next time we're in the area.

Oh how I wish I had read the reviews before visiting this pub !! To be fair the beer was in good condition but otherwise the over priced, unfriendly and out to fleece the tourist comments still apply. Go to the Lister Arms instead.

Good pub with wide selection of quality ales tucked down a side street just off the canal.

Called in again while in the area. Previous comment still stands and they've now won CAMRA branch pub of the year.

Friendly landlord and staff, good quality beer and malts, good food and plenty of it, cosy atmosphere. No TVs, machines or music. In other words a proper pub ......don't miss it.

This is one not to miss if you are in the area. Good beer, good food, friendly staff and a beautiful old Dales pub. Heaven sent!!

What a disappointment, a Harveys pub with only one of their beers on and not a comfortable atmosphere.

Agree with previous comment. Food was good. We got there early and it was virtually empty but I eventually had to politely ask the two members of staff behind the bar, who were having a discussion, if there was any chance of getting a drink only to be told that "patience is a virtue". Customer service is something they need to bear in mind. I'll use the Basketmakers Arms across the road in future.

I was recently in the village and the pub was closed and resembled more of a building site. No notices to say if or when it would be reopening.

Great traditional pub. Excellent selection of real ales, (we tried four of the ones that were on between us). Food was freshly prepared, was good quality and value. Guy behind the bar was very welcoming and had a good knowledge of the beers he was serving,(he estimated that they have about 300 different real ales on over a year and the pump clips decorating the pub did nothing to contadict this). Well worth visiting, we will certainly go out of our way to call in next time we are in the area.

On a visit to Brecon called in on recommendation of previous comments. Pub served well kept selection of Even Evans beer. Food was good quality and value and the staff made us very welcome. So much so that we went back the following evening.

Having read the previous reviews I can only assume that I picked a bad day or this pub has changed hands !! It was clean but there was no real ale and the sandwiches were overpriced, (�3.95 for 2 slices of supermarket bread with little filling, served on a plate with no garnish at all).
Thankfully the surrounding countryside is still beautiful.
