Visited here for a meal while staying in the local area. Had a really great experience. Excellent cosy country pub atmosphere, made all the better by a very friendly reception from the landlord who recommended some local walks. Good ale and really nicely prepared home cooked food. I had the steak, which was tender and perfectly done. Drink prices very reasonable. Will definitely be returning again during our stay. A real gem well worth visiting if in the area.....oh and dogs welcome is a bonus.Further update to the above, we have now spent a week in Pentre Bach and have visited the Shoemakers on several occasions for food and drink, being the perfect place to refresh from a long walk. Just had the Sunday roast which was excellent both in terms of quantity and quality. Really good home cooking. The atmosphere is a great blend of visitors and friendly locals. So good to see a community pub thriving, much to the credit of the family that run it. Certainly played a big part in making our holiday so relaxing and enjoyable.

Walked to this great rural pub. Landlord was ace; friendly and super helpful. Serves a well chilled pint and steak was cooked beautifully. Even offered us a lift back to save our tired legs. Would definitely recommend.

We were staying close by and phoned on the off chance to see if they had room for 5. But they were fully booked but then contacted us back later to say they had a cancellation ? Luckily for us as the food was delicious! The choice and size of the meat potions were huge and plenty of vegetables served in a bowl and extra gravy offered ? If you?re staying close by it is well worth a visit. Thanks again

Birthday lunch for Dad's 80th, food was excellent, service was fantastic and nothing was too much hassle. If you have the chance to try this hidden gem please go, they go above and beyond to make you welcome, but as they say, always book.
