I can't add much more than MyJob. Carvery at £6.25 with a real ale come on, what more can you ask…read morefor. All in a deceptively large pub. When I ate here I was very impressed with the quality of the meat and also the veg choice. I would eat here all the time if I wanted british food. I first visited about 8 years ago and never, ever forgot it. Great place and you just have to visit.

WOW the sunday carvery is fabulous. Be prepared to queue for 45 mins on a bank holiday weekend to…read morepart with your £7.50 a head. Once you get there you get a choice of pork, beef, lamb & sometimes turkey. You can have more than 1 of the meats too. The carvery has every sort of veg dish you can think of. Even mushy peas, sweetcorn, butterbeans if you want that sort of thing on your sunday roast. There is always a massive pile of roast spuds, roast parsnips & a giant pot of gravy. However I just dont get the condiment system, regular supermarket pots of mint sauce, apple sauce, mustard etc. Which isn't really enough for the sheer quantity of people that eat at their carvery. If it's not busy get a drink, some cutlery and bag a table, then go queue for your food. But as I said earlier be prepared for a long wait on a busy day. They do the carvery everyday too weekdays, last time I had a weekday carvery there it was cheaper than the sundays. You can also get a carvery to go, they will put it in a plastic tray. The decor is oldy worldy black adn white pub sort of thing, horse brasses, lots of dark brown wood, sticky carpet in places. Good clean toilets though. Loads of tables everywhere. But massive plus is the outdoor area, it's great. After the plate and meat, all the rest is self service so you can pile it on your plate and have 3 yorkshire puddings :) Well worth trying out this place!

Heard of this pub initially as it is a featured real pub as advertised by Arriva Trains Wales. It…read moreis commutable via the Heart of Wales Train Line as is promoted by said train company in a Real Ale Promotion. The said same establishment is also promoted by the Campaign for Real Ale through various means i.e. Real Heritage Pubs of Wales guide book. The hotel itself is part Georgian & part Victorian in style. The Bell Bar has 18 service bells & a stone fireplace. It also dispalys winners of the World Bog Snorkelling Championships & Man vs. Horse Trails. The hotel is a three storey affair with a lounge, restaurant & 21 bedrooms as well as its own micro brewery to the rear of the premises. The brewery produces 4000 gallons of ale per year, there are 6-7 varities of ale. One of which is semi-endorsed by the Prince of Wales. Did try one of the bar meals, had bacon & sausage baguette with salad & fries for £3.95 & the real ales range in both price & strength according to taste & pocket. They do have a diversity of bar foods as well in particular the range of curries on offer. Had an impromptu tour of the brewery which was a fascinating insight into beer production, these can be arranged for any individual or group should they wish to do so. Further details on the micro brewery can be found at http://www.heartofwalesbrewery.co.uk Should also mention there are several real ale festivals throughout the year in this town of which the Neuadd Arms participates. Wells worth checking out at any level whether its cheap accomodation, real ale fanatic or plain foodie. Highly Recommended.
