Or if you just fancy a pint try “Ty Brith” in the village.
However our recommendation is to get some of “Huw the Spar’s” excellent “Neaudd Fach” burgers or sausages, produced just down the road, light the Barbie open a bottle and Take it easy, Cledan Valley Style.
In the village our local Spar(Closes at 8:00pm) convenience store for all your general groceries, beers, wines and spirits and locally produced meats, newspapers, magazines etc, and are open Sundays.;
There is now a micro brewery just 7 or 8 miles down the road, who sell their own seasonal beers, in bottles, small casks, boxes (like a wine box, recyclable cardboard and liner) or will even fill your own suitable container.Well worth a try. You can even have a look around. The Waen brewery
