This was one of a number of new build pubs of the 1950's when Cwmbran was a post war new town. Situated alongside a small shopping precinct, it has a traditional two bar layout with a roomy public bar with a pool table and a smaller lounge where the dart board is situated. After a difficult spell of trading it closed for several months in 2018 before re-opening in July 2018. Hopefully it will succeed this time.
