A real pub with real fires serving real ale and real food


Front of the building

Nicki and Steve welcome you to the Rhos Yr Hafod Inn. Situated on the edge of the Ceredigion highlands and just four miles from spectactular Cardigan bay, our traditional 19th century Freehouse offers something for both visitors and locals alike. Round off a fun day on the coast with fine ales and great home cooked food in our cosy restaurant or soak up the sun in our pretty beer garden.

The Pub

The pub is believed to date from 1849 and retains the original stables, now an intimate and welcoming little restaurant. The front bar has a comfortable settle and a stove to warm yourself by on cold days. Families are welcome to use our lounge room that opens onto the garden at the rear of the pub. We host a quiz night every Sunday, and we are home to an excellent darts team.

The Food

We aim to source our food as locally and seasonally as we can with many items using organic ingredients, which means that our home-cooked menu is constantly evolving and changing, with the exception of a few of our customers' pub favourites. Why not take a look at a sample of the kind of menu we offer. Please have a look at the web sites of some of our suppliers

We are fully booked for Christmas day lunch, but please ask about our christmas party menu, available all December or even January!

The Beer

The pub has merited an entry in the 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2010 Good Beer Guides. We serve Youngs Bitter as our regular brew, with up to two regularly changing cask ales sourced from regional microbreweries. Ask for our upcoming ales, and if you have a personal favourite, put in a request and we'll do our best to source it for you.

The Local Area

Our pub is situated in the stunning rural setting of west Wales. Just 12 miles from the historic university town of Aberystwyth and 4 miles from the pretty port of Aberaeron. The area is well known for its beaches, brightly painted georgian properties and trotting competitions at nearby Tregaron. The local countryside is ideal for walking or mountain biking and there is plenty for the visitor to do and see.

The lack of traffic and challenging country lanes make the area ideal for classic bikes and cars. We welcome both, here are some of the events we have hosted.
