Nottage?? That village is over a mile away and Danygraig is a different area as well, although it's only around the corner. No it's definitely in Newton village and the best pub there IMHO. Unfortunately the brilliant landlady is leaving at the end of September so then, que sera, sera!! For the purists, Newton is part of Clevis!

On 17th Feb 2011 the Ancient Britton thankfully changed hands, it has been taken over by a local couple who I am sure will bring the pub back to what it once was. They put on a very impressive buffet for everyone last night which was first class, not that surprising as they had previously been running Porthcawl RFC bar and hospitality. I have used this pub on and off for over 25 years and cannot remember a better night than last night. The pub was packed with a great atmosphere so many thanks to the new tennants and the hardworking bar staff who made my night so enjoyable.

After experiencing a completely clueless pair of tenants since October 2010 - who are now leaving - this pub will change hands on 17 February 2011. Now we've got a good chance of getting our local back

Well described by Cloudwood (purists might argue it is in Nottage or Danygraig but what the hell).
Excellent place to sit on a warm day, shaded by the huge tree at the front, looking out over the green towards the church - very popular summer spot with the picnic benches, boundary wall opposite and the green itself to spread out over.
Gets 4 stars for its location, but agree that should be 3 otherwise, for fairly uninspiring (old fashioned - though might appeal to some) inside.
Hope this is helpful.
A Newton village pub - with a great view onto Newton green and the Norman church.
There are two rooms, situated around a central bar, along with a large beer garden (with a big smoking shelter) and plenty of tables out front. Big car park.
The usual range of drinks, and mediocre pub food.
The Brit has a pool table, and various entertainment throughout the week (singers, bands, quiz) - especially during in the summer.
This is a popular pub in the summer and winter months - mainly for drink and entertainment - but fine for a basic meal if you’re not too fussy.

I agree wholeheartedly. Kristina and Andrew are real people unlike the arrogant fantasists they replaced.
