This is a very traditional Welsh inn, listed in CAMRA's publication Heritage Pubs of Wales, where you'll enjoy the full Celtic experience.

Most of the regulars speak Welsh by the bar and with the staff, while the gentle piped music is invariably Welsh - both modern and traditional.

Tafarn y Plu is a multi-award-winning inn that proudly makes no effort whatsoever to cater for modern trends: you'll find no alco-pops here, nor juke box, gaming machines or TV sets.

It's garnered a name for its exquisite home cooked fare and its use of local produce, either in the Caban restaurant or in the bars, prices being the same for both and not costing you an arm or a leg either.

The menu is planned by the landlady personally, with Welsh lamb steak or dressed Llyn crab or lobster being house specialities. Look out too for their pork specials - such as home-made faggots - sourced from Gwyniasa farm's herd of pedigree Welsh pigs in Llithfaen, while the Welsh Black sirloin steaks are to die for.

The pub boasts an extensive wine list, naturally including Welsh wines, while the beer drinker is amply catered for with a selection of good Welsh cask ales and more exotic bottled world beers.

Look out too for craft ciders, on draught or bottled, from the catalogue of the Welsh Perry & Cider Society such as Gwynt y Ddraig or Ty Gwyn - you'll get no Magners here!

Snuggle up before the open fire in the compact and unspoilt little wood partitioned bar, where the locals gather, or take advantage of the rambling tree-shaded beer garden to take in the sea air.

The bar features a fascinating gallery of old photographs of the locality, and posters featuring the plays of renowned local playwright WS Jones, a regular here before his death in 2009.

Those who like the sun on their backs usually make their way to the pretty little patio where in the evenings you might well find yourself warming your backside by a blazing chiminea.

The pub is the last of five that once served the village, and was built in the early 19th century.

This Grade II listed inn stands in an architectural conservation area, directly opposite former Prime Minister David Lloyd George's boyhood home and just yards from his memorial museum and final resting place.
