  “One of the best pubs around especially in the summer. You can sit outside on the canal, watch the barges and wildlife whilst enjoying a lovely drink or great food!”

  “This area is a desert, which makes the Open a god send. Staff are very friendly, food was good. (Poss too much BBQ sauce on my gammon). The burgers looks AWESOME. The beer was well kept , but it is such a shamecthat a pub in wales is serving Canadian beers (Sharps). Surely there is a market for LOCSL Welsh beers in Wales? The gin selection was also national with the very bland Gilbey Whitnall. Wales has a superb distillery in ABER FALLS, why not stock a selection of welsh spirits?”

  “Return visit my wife and I for my birthday . Greeted warmly and shown to our table and asked for our drinks order promptly served. I had the steak melt with mushrooms no tomato . Which was superbly cooked ( medium rare) . My wife had the jacket potato with beans no cheese. Again well presented and tasty. Service was not fast but well within expectations for a restaurant. Brilliant family meal for four and a six year old. We all had the beef dinner. And drinks. The food was hot plentiful and well presented. The staff although very busy were attentive and prompt and above all frendly. We were in the downstairs room which I initially thought oh dear was in fact warm, light and inviting. The sevice did not suffer from being down stairs.”

  “This is a alround great place to be and eat. The flavors were exquisite, a true delight to the palate. The tenderness of the meat was remarkable, melting in the mouth with each bite. The accompanying sauce complemented the dish perfectly, enhancing the overall experience. The presentation was visually appealing, adding to the enjoyment of the meal. It was a truly memorable dining experience. The girls who served us are an asset to the pub. They definitely should be recognised for their happy faces and politeness. We will be there again very soon.”

  “All a bit tired Seating along the canal bank nice big beer garden to sit and eat also a lounge to eat in. Dogs welcome in the bar and garden if well behaved. Plenty of parking. Sadly not gardeners which is plain to see. The seats are definitely from the 80s I would suggest not the most comfortable tbh. The options on tap was good but the bar girl could not remember want pint I ordered so brought me a larger instead of a ipa not the end of the world but not the best either. Portions was good plenty of food for the money basic pub grub and not going to blow your socks of. Who ever is controlling the music choice should be re-educataed by Stalin what a horrendous noise considering people was in the lounge for food and not a mosh pit.”

  “We got married yesterday and stopped by here after the ceremony a little past lunch time. I looked up local restaurants and the menu here was more interesting than a few other options, so we decided to give it a try. We both got the lamb and goat cheese burgers with sweet onion chutney. Both of us thought the burgers were delicious and very filling. The chips were perfectly cooked and honestly, really hit the spot. We shared a few starters with our guests and the duck bon-bons stole the show. Then my husband and I shared a lemon meringue sundae and it was delightful. All in all we will happily be coming back around spring/summer. But the staff were wonderful and the wine we had with our meal was quite good. Thank you for the staff at The Open Hearth for making our day that much more special! Don't hesitate to stop by and give it a try as well. The restaurant inside is a bit small but has plenty of seating outside and plenty of parking. We highly recommend it!”

  “Amazing pub this is, situated right next to the Brecon canal in Sebastopol. A good arrange of fine ales and lagers, dog friendly too. Outside seating area is outstanding with their own decking area. Food excellent and reasonably priced too. This is a must for the local dog walker or some family to stop off and have a nice beer and relax. I will be coming here again, highly recommend this establishment...”
