A warm welcome to all from our friendly staff. Either in our bars or in the Beer Garden, which is a real suntrap!

Park Avenue
Aberystwyth
SY23 1PG
Aberystwyth's newest pub (as opposed to bar), opened April '13. The meet-and-greet service style seems to be applied less assiduously of late, so with luck you may escape being asked "Will you be dining with us today?". The food, while centrally supplied, is serviceable, but in a town not well supplied with food pubs the bland corporate style here still represents something of a missed opportunity. The beers are believed to be dispensed under the 'Fast Cask' system. An occasional seasonal Marston's beer.

This welcoming one-roomer, decorated with fascinating old photographs and cartoons, offers two real ales from Evan Evans (perhaps just one at the quietest times) in winter and one or two Westons ciders. Quiz night is Thursday, poker Sundays, open mic fortnightly. Small patio with benches can catch the sun. Generously filled crusty rolls are available while stocks last. This is one of the few pubs in New Quay which welcomes dogs - they are normally greeted with a fuss and a dog biscuit and there is a charity tin on the bar for the Dogs Trust.

Sarah Danny and Esther would like to welcome you and your families to the Glanyrafon Arms.
Since taking over on 10th October 2023 we hit the ground running, holding many local functions including Tractor Runs, Charity Nights, hosting pool league evenings and getting our weekend dinner service up and running. It’s been a whirlwind to say the least! We have many exciting plans and look forward to serving the local community and surrounding areas.
The Glanyrafon Arms has been the main meeting point and heart of Talgarreg village for many many years and we intend to keep it just that way

Marston's owned pub in fantastic setting in small village on the Wales Coast Path. Large airy open-plan bar and conservatory with sea views. Covered outside seating area and decking area with wooden tables and some of the best sea views from a pub in Ceredigion. Excellent quality food served from 12-9 every day (booking is advisable at busy times) ranging from posh sandwiches to a full three course meal and excellent specials. Breakfast is available for non-residents. Very small car park and limited on-street parking – it is best to park higher up in the village and walk down to the seafront at peak periods. The four en-suite rooms have been recently refurbished to a high standard and have balconies with sea-views. A third beer is available at busy times. The pub may shut at 9.30pm out of season.
