Radnorshire Arms visit August 2025
We finally got to Presteigne for a beer on Saturday 2nd August 2025 at the Radnorshire Hotel and stayed in their bar. This is a bar/hotel with lots of historical interest and well worth a visit for that alone. CAMRA members who got there were Chris ( Chairman), Myself (Dave Gill secretary), Dave D, Terry. Also we were joined by two former CAMRA members giving us a lookover. The staff were friendly and helpful. Terry checked the hotel web site which said "No dogs inside" In fact he brought his dog and there were three others in the bar.
The Radnorshire Arms had four cask beers which were all from the Wye Valley Brewery - 'HPA' - commonly available in Radnorshire, 'Pioneer' - probably a seasonal, Butty Bach - commonly available in Radnorshire and Shaka - which was a new one to most of us and worth checking out.
- Radnor Arms visit June 2025
Saturday 7 June 2025
On 7th June 2025, we met at the newly re-opened Radnor Arms, New Radnor 'Community' buy out pub in New Radnor. The four beers are supplied by Hobsons brewery. They tasted fine. It is staffed by volunteers who are very friendly and helpful. The new bar was fairly big. There will be another bar in a room behind at a later date. The wood beams have been covered over and heating panels attached. They are having discussions about what floor covering to lay down in the front lounge area. The decoration is to a high standard and all looks clean with a mixture of traditional and modern. Light and airy colour scheme.
At present the committee are still analyzing trade returns before planning for phase 2 of the operation.
At present there is no food available. They still have lots more work to do but it is open and useable.
