The Nag’s Head Inn.

About a 12 minute drive from Fron Fawr.  With its beamed bars and riverside gardens, the historic Nag’s Head has many claims to fame.  And certainly not least of them is its fine food and ale. Apart from being exceptionally friendly, the bars are cool in the summer and warm in the winter when there’s always one, if not two, blazing fires.  In the summer you can eat and drink outside by the river.  And for young children there’s the attraction of their own self contained play area with swings and climbing frames.
    You’ll find the Nag’s Head situated at the entrance to the enchanted valley in the famous Welsh folk tales of the Mabinogion.  In its out buildings, an old forge still remains on which the local blacksmith crafted the first horse-drawn ploughs to be exported from Wales to America.
     It’s the only pub in the world to carry a traditional Biblical inscription in Welsh on its sign..... put there upon the instructions of a well known preacher who once lived at the inn.  In English it means “Be cunning as a serpent, but peaceful as a dove” - not a bad motto for life even today.  These days the atmosphere of this famous old inn is enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.  The restaurant boasts the finest fayre for miles around and the bar meals prove you don’t have to spend a fortune to eat well.

Cnapan Restuarant
At Cnapan your hosts are Michael & Judith Cooper.   At lunchtime they specialise in their Egon Ronay recommended wholefood lunches; good hearty home-made soups with a hunk of bread followed by such favourites as Humble Pie or Fluffy Fishermen's Pie (both baked on an oat base) served with bowls of interesting salads.  Puddings include Piggy's Delight and other goodies.
        They consider the evening meal to be something of an occasion with much thought and care going into their menu and into the choosing of fresh local fish, meat and vegetables.  You may like to start your dinner with fresh pears stuffed with Stilton and Walnuts or House Terrine with herby bread, followed by honey-glazed Welsh lamb with caper sauce and damson cheese, or freshly caught crab, salmon or sewin - all served with a variety of delicious carefully cooked vegetables.  Puddings are a speciality - some of which you have yet to find in a recipe book.
        The Cnapan is open from Easter through to the end of October (every day except Tuesdays) for morning coffee, lunch and dinner.  You'll need to book for Sunday lunch and all week for dinner (open for dinner from 6.45pm with last orders at 8.45pm - from £19.00 per person). Tel: 01239 820575.

The Castle Kitchen

Located in nearby Cilgerran; very close to Cilgerran Castle, the Castle Kitchen is well worth a visit - not just to sample Pat & Mary Browne's food and hospitality but to admire Pat's train set and other toys.  Tea and coffee is served in the morning along with a selection of light snacks.  Their three course table d'hôte luncheon menu offers plenty of choice and costs just £7.95.  There's also a children's menu available. During the afternoon you can enjoy one of their specialty cream teas.  In the evening you've the choice of their extensive set evening menu (£13.75) or you can choose from their à la carte menu.  The Castle Kitchen not only very attractive but it offers exceptional value. (Tel: 01239 615055).

The Ferry Inn

  

The Ferry Inn pub is in nearby St Dogmaels and not only offers a comprehensive lunchtime and menu, but enables you to enjoy your drinks and food on its new patios over looking the estuary of river Teifi.
 

The Pendre Inn

A recent winner of an
AA Pub of the Year award. Chosen by the editor of 'The AA Pub Guide', the winners of this award all maintain high standards of service and cooking, as well as retaining those special, indefinable elements that make the British Public House an institution worth preserving.

The Pendre Inn is located in nearby Cilgerran and is certainly worth a visit, be it to partake of their real ale and a bar snack - either inside this attractive fourteenth century inn or outside in its beer garden, or perhaps for a memorable lunch or dinner.  The atmosphere is relaxed and very friendly, hence its popularity with ‘the locals’ and many of Fron Fawr’s returning guests, so for lunch or dinner you're advised to book as early as possible.   (Tel: 01239 614223).

Boncath Inn

Fron Fawr's nearest Inn has become very popular with guests. In the heart of the village opposite Boncath's Post Office and Village Store it's in reasonable walking distance (3/4 of a mile).
     The bar menu includes Cottage Pie (£4.50), locally produced 10oz Sirloins (£8.75) and locally produced 16oz T-bone Steaks (£11.50) and Boneless Salmon Fillets (£6.75) plus a range of curries including Welsh Black Beef Curry and Welsh Lamb & Leek Curry (£5.95) as well as daily specials.
