If you’re searching for a proper pub in Tregaron – the kind with real cask ale, a fireplace, a few locals happy to point you towards a good walk, and a dog asleep under someone’s stool – you’ve found it.
Welcome to the bar at Y Talbot, a friendly, fully accessible spot in the heart of Mid Wales. We’re proud to serve a rotating line-up of Welsh real ales, a carefully curated wine list, and a growing collection of Welsh spirits, including Da Mhile gin, Penderyn whisky, and Barti spiced rum. Whether you’re fresh off the trail, chasing dolphins on the coast, or just catching up with old friends, our bar is where stories are shared – often with a side of homemade chips.
Dog-friendly pub in Tregaron, Ceredigion with real ales, Welsh spirits and a seat by the fire
We’re CAMRA members, proud of our Cask Marque 5-star rating, and love introducing guests to new beers from breweries like Wye Valley, Mantle, and Purple Moose. Not sure what to order? Ask at the bar – we love a beer chat.
Tracy handpicks the wine list to match our menu and the Welsh weather – whether you fancy a bold red, a chilled white, or something light and pink for the garden. No jargon, just genuinely good wine that pairs perfectly with a sirloin or a sunny afternoon.
“Superb wines at prices that don’t make you blink. Staff helped us pick a bottle to go with dinner – perfect choice.”

Cosy in Winter, Glorious in Summer
From the open fire in the front bar to the sun-drenched patio out back, this is a pub for all seasons. There’s even a rear bar with a telly – perfect for the Six Nations or any big game where shouting at the screen is encouraged.
And yes, you can eat in the bar too. Whether it’s a well-filled sandwich and pint in the garden, or a warming plate beside the fire, the menu is the same as the restaurant – same care, same kitchen, same comfort.
“It’s the kind of place where the chips are hot, the beer’s cold, and you’re never more than a nod away from a chat.”

A Living Piece of Tregaron’s Past
Y Talbot has been at the centre of Tregaron for centuries – once a coaching inn for drovers moving cattle, now a place where travellers and locals still gather over a pint and a tale or two. You’ll hear whispers of Henry Richard, the town’s famous peace campaigner. And yes – someone will mention the elephant buried in the garden, which makes for a cracking story by the fire.
“Friendly, genuine pub atmosphere. Dog loved it, kids were happy, and the beer was perfect.”
