  “I love this pub's beer garden as the view is beautiful, they also have a covered area with a TV to watch the footie ⚽️ the pub itself has lots of character, when we visited in September they have stopped serving food for the foreseeable future, not sure why?”

  “Friendly staff, reasonable prices for drinks, food not served so cannot comment. Wonderful view from garden. Airey and well designed pub inside. A great stop after walking up a big hill.”

  “Staff lovely. We're seated in the middle at the back of the restaurant but so dark we couldn't see our food. Lights left and right but definitely needs a table lamp on the middle table as it really was impossible for us to see the food on our plate.”

  “Can’t rate the food as not currently serving but the pub, landlord, clientele and view is fantastic. Popped in for drinks whilst on holiday last week and was made to feel very welcome. The outdoor area is fantastic and well maintained and the choice of drinks, including non-alcoholic, is impressive. Would love to have it as my local!”

  “Fantastic pub! Didn't sample the food but the cider went down a treat. Great beer garden with plenty of space for us all! Would definitely recommend this place on a nice summers day/evening! Staff were great and couldn't be more helpful.”

  “We were on holiday a bit further out from the main area of New Quay and use this pub on the way back from the beach (perfect excuse to enjoy a tipple half way up the hill). A lovely pub with massive outdoor space to enjoy the view with play area for kids. There’s also an under cover pergola with screen for sports events. Unfortunately no food on at the moment (May 2026) hope they get that sorted as would love to try. Beer and cider good and staff friendly.”

  “Great Sunday lunch here just before Easter 2026. Really enjoyed the roast chicken with amazing portion sizes and delicious mains and sides. Great options for the children too and service was impeccable. Very good value for money with stunning sea views. Would certainly recommend and happily visit again.”

  “What an incredibly welcoming pub, great service, lovely atmosphere and tasty food. Portion sizes of home cooked classics were big and great value. Alpacalypse (from Salt Brewery) on tap as well is always a treat! Would definitely visit again!”

  “Amazing pub experience, they didn’t have sprite or 7UP but they did have lemonade as an exact alternative. The food was pretty good. I had a gigantic steak and lots of chips. for dessert. I had a scoop of the vanilla and strawberry ice cream. We were a group of like nine or something, so there was a lot of space for all of us, which is good. We sat outside where dogs are permitted. You have to go inside to get what you want, which is a little tedious, but it’s how it is. The staff were very nice and very talkative. They had bathrooms, including one for disabled people. We gave them a nice tip, and they said it will be split among the workers, which was nice to hear. It took until I was essentially done my food to find the salt, so that was unfortunate. I wish they had different containers to carry the salt, rather than little bags, which are shoved underneath all of the other condiments. Overall, nice place.”

  “Awesome family pub for lovers of great food and Dylan Thomas. The beef in the chilli just melts in your mouth, the chicken in the curry was soft and flavourful and there's a hell of a meaty bite to the burger. There's also a park out the back to keep the kids entertained.”
