Pub Of The Month - January 2018
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
It has to be The Surrey Oaks, a very nice pub indeed.

This is a repeat for me but I don't care, it's the Neuadd Arms Hotel/ in Llanwrtyd Wells. I stayed there this time and thought it could do with a thorough renovation but that would probably cost millions as it is an old building. However, it was cheap with similar prices to advance booking at a Premier Inn or Travelodge but breakfast included.
On the Friday night in the public bar a couple of the locals were getting a bit raucous but I've seen it all before and it was no worse than watching the Jeremy Kyle show. Of course the big attraction is the old school Heart Of Wales beers that as far as I know are only available here and at the odd CAMRA festival. They are various styles and strengths but the strong ale Inn Stable was my favourite.
I'll be back next year!
A very thin month, but my one new visit was to Butchers Arms , the original micropub. Brief but very enjoyable.
