Fforest Inn

One of Wales’ oldest pubs, The Fforest Inn was originally built in the 16th century as a Drovers inn. Steeped in history and recently renovated, it still retains many of its original features but now compliments them with a comfortable, welcoming environment. Food is served from Wednesday through to Sunday and while it changes regularly recent menus can be seen here. Do call if you have any questions or specific requirements. DOG FRIENDLY: please note that well behaved dogs are welcome in the bar area. Tables are limited, so please let us know if you intend to bring a dog.

Had an evening meal at this little gem after a long walk in the forest on our holiday. We booked ahead and we're assured we could bring our 2 spaniels with us. We arrived early but this was not a problem for the caring and friendly owners, who got us a seat by the fire. Creamy garlic mushrooms were to die for followed by a beautifully presented rump steak. Chef explained the meat was locally sourced and it was so tender and well seasoned. Absolutely delicious with all the trimmings. Our eyes were bigger than our bellies but the food was too good to leave behind. Teamed with crispy onion rings, homemade coleslaw and some of the best chips we've ever tasted. Chef even brought out some cooked sausage for our weary dogs. A good selection of homemade puddings too - we opted for white chocolate and strawberry brulee and a sticky toffee pudding. Scrumptious! We were made to feel very welcome and, much like the valley, friendly faces everywhere. We're from Yorkshire and so familiar with a good chat over good beer, and we were not disappointed! Thank you for a lovely meal, good beer, and lovely company 🍻

Called in here after an afternoon walking in the area, poked my head in the door and asked if they could accommodate three tired dogs and their very hungry and thirsty owners, even though it was outside of the normal service times. I was greeted by the landlady who said no problem, please come in. The welcome we all received created a fab first impression, the landlady, who I think was called Nicki, made a point of not just welcoming us, but our dogs as well. Now we had already looked at the menu prior to arriving so had a preconceived idea of what we were going to order from the menu, however, Colin the landlord, explained further what was to come with the meals we were going to order and was so passionate about the quality of his ingredients. Now I have eaten in too many pubs to remember, I have had some stunning meals in the past, but not many will have had the lasting impression that this meal will. I had the Jerk chicken, as did my father in law, our wives had the homemade burgers. The food was off the scale good, portions were very generous, and as for the puddings, an absolute must to finish your meals. If you are in the area and looking for superb meal, served up in a very welcoming environment by lovely people, you cannot go wrong here, almost tempted to travel the 150miles it is from home to just experience the food again, thank you the Fforest Inn. P.S. Poppy, Ruben's and Harley (the dogs) couldn't thank you enough for your kind treat you gave them, can't wait to come back.

Passing visit whilst doing some greenlaning in the area and they managed to squeeze us in for a spot of lunch. The food was absolutely faultless and huge portions so great value for money. The cod was a lot bigger than expected and the coconut chicken curry was amazing. The homemade chips were a really welcomed addition as they tasted so good. We were too full for dessert but noticed that the menu said they were all handmade. Highly recommend a visit as it was a very cosy atmosphere.
