The Six Bells is a 17th century coaching inn set at the bottom of the hill by the ancient church of St John the Baptist, alongside the old Mid Wales to London road. It has been licensed continuously since 1750 and is the brewery tap for the Six Bells Brewery, established on the site of the original brewery which closed in the early 1900s. Location map.

For more than ten years, Nev and Sue Richards have nurtured this traditional country pub retaining its historic character and fostering a warm friendly atmosphere.

The brewery is run by Nev a larger-than-life character who, when not brewing his wide range of ales, can often be found behind the bar or resting to chat to customers. In 1997, he brought an old brewery back to life and now his ales are now famous and sought after.

Sue runs the pub, its dining room and traditional bar. It's a friendly bar, buzzing with the conversation of local artisans, artists and farmers. There are no fruit machines and no piped music. In winter a good fire keeps everyone cosy. The bar is traditional too, with a row of beer engines serving Six Bells ales. (Yes, you can buy Guinness, lager and keg cider here, but the pumps are tucked quietly out of the way.) The wooden floored lounge is traditional throughout and cosy and comfortable for dining. Fine wines are available to accompany your meal. Dogs welcome in the bar.

Lunch is served Tuesday to Sunday, with roast on Sunday. Dinner is served Tuesday to Saturday. Tuesdays nights are curry night or international theme night. More on dining at the Six Bells.
