    ah, i recognised it straight away. about 30 years ago would pop in for a drink or a meal. what i recall most was that kids were not allowed in the bar. on your left as you go in there was a small area for the kids to drink and a game of table skittles to pass the time. memories!

    Hello from the States. Enjoying this series of videos. A little history, beautiful scenery and plenty of food. I didn’t see sausage and mash on the menu. The Welsh lamb burger sounds tempting. A good place to have a nice Sunday noon meal on a cold wintry day. Stay safe and be well.

      Not sure if they did sausage and mash.
      It was nice sitting next to the fire, think of all the people who must have done the same in that pub over the centuries.

    Hello from Calaveras County and many thanks for your relentless walks and pub tours particularly of the Vale and the many places like St Hilary. Wales in Winter is very charming, it is a land that reminds me of the rugged coast of northernmost California. The pub menu and food look worth a try.

    Since you're in the Vale, you have to try The Blue Anchor Inn in Aberthaw, near Rhoose. Its long history, complete with local legends of a hidden smugglers' tunnel, goes back to 1380.

      We hope to show some more local pubs, we hope to show them off and all the good things about them as it's pretty hard for most small businesses at the moment, especially in food and drink. Didn't know that sad fact you mentioned.

    What a delightful pub.
    I couldn't help but notice that Cllr Aspey looked particularly put out by the fact that there wasn't a battered sausage available on the menu.
    I share his disappointment.

      I'm sure they got a couple under the bar and available if you know the secret sign.

    My first travel outside of the United States back in 2011 we did the England and Wales coach tour. While walking through London, we happened to pass through the filming of one of the episodes of Sherlock the series. I think it was across from Saint Barts.
