Good to see another local pub being brought back to its former glory.
Last night I visited The Gate at the bottom end of Llanfrechfa/top end of Ponthir, after my cousin recommended it to me.
Four real ales and one real cider on the bar, and a very enticing menu that included the better half's favourite of belly pork with black pudding. Another watering hole to add to your 'must visit' list if you're in the Newport/Monmouth/Torfaen area.
