Arrived in Brecon by narrowboat early afternoon. Chanced Alon this place on our way to the town centre. It was delightful, very friendly and good value. My wife tried the local G&T which was very acceptable. A good selection of craft ales as well as the two ales on draught. Unusually half pints not offered - but thirds and 2/3 were - I quite like a 2/3 when trying a few,
