Y Ffarmers - Pub in Ceredigion
Llanfihangel y Creuddyn, Aberystwyth, SY23 4LA, Ceredigion
Wales,
United Kingdom
The drive to this pretty village, once a silver and lead mining community, is well worth it. Friendly Y Ffarmers, reopened after a fire, is under the delightful stewardship of Caitlin and Lewis. You can walk into the quarry-tiled bar with mud on your boots and not an eyelid will be batted; settle in and enjoy one of the many craft gins (Caitlin’s passion) or real ales and ciders. The dining rooms next door have polished oak floors, and an assortment of tables; outside, there's a sheltered seating space and a small garden with sweet hamlet views. Local bands enliven proceedings, as does the occasional pub quiz. Produce is sourced locally wherever possible - try pan-fried trout with dill and samphire potatoes and beetroot pesto, then bara brith bread and butter pudding with cream. Hearty Sunday roasts carry on until 3pm. A treat.
