Possibly one of the oldest Inns in the United Kingdom.
The current building dates from the second half of the 17th century, but some claim that there may have been an inn before that, on the pilgrimage route to Llanthony Priory, but no evidence of this has been found.

An equally unconfirmed story is that the first floor of the inn once served as a court. The wear in the beam above the stairs is said to have been caused by ropes from which convicts were hung. Legends speak of 180 hanged people in this inn.

The current operators like to refer to that history in the interior. Whether it's true or not doesn't matter: it's a pleasant place with a fairly wide menu.

Great ancient pub 17th century or older. Nice to see the noose hanging in the old staircase. Great beer garden in the sun, very good food too😊

Great food and drink in one of the oldest inns in Wales. Great outdoor space. And a noose on the stairway for those that misbehave 😂
