The Open Hearth in Torfaen

Lovely little setting on the canal.Dropped in on a Sunday with dog around midday, very welcoming honest and tasty pub grub.Smashing

The best burgers are served here. A large range of toppings. My favourite is mushroom and blue cheese. And to top it off it’s canal side so the perfect place to spend a summer evening

Nothing really bad to say about the pub, very nice location, decent selection of beer, reasonably priced, staff are pleasant enough but don't really make you feel welcome (I'm old fashioned, so would like, at least, a smile & an hello), although I find that is the norm nowadays anyway. Overall, a pretty good pub.Only 2 real gripes; on a Sunday, it doesn't open until 12..we turned up at 11, thinking they'd be open, like most pubs & the Chicken was really dry in the Chicken & Stuffing baguette...although I did like the fact that it came with 2 roast spuds, a Yorkshire & a gravy boat.

Great stop on a walk along the canal. Good beer selection and lovely views, look forward to the next afternoon stroll and pint or two

Lovely little pub that made me and my dog welcome. Even dog treats provided on the bar for dogs. Had a lovely large value for money meal at noon which filled me for the day. Definitely will go again next time I'm in the area

Fabulous place, great atmosphere, Sunday lunch delicious- best roast spuds ever & portion size massive!!

Nice canalside pub. Friendly locals and good staff. Worth a visit by road, towpath or boat.If you arrive by boat, ask to sign the book proving you were there!

Nice pub right on the canal. Perfect spot to walk to or kayak as I did. The food was excellent and good value for money. Staff were friendly. Plenty of seating outside on a nice sunny day as well as inside if you're looking for something a bit more cosy.

Amazing pub this is, situated right next to the Brecon canal in Sebastopol. A good arrange of fine ales and lagers, dog friendly too. Outside seating area is outstanding with their own decking area. Food excellent and reasonably priced too. This is a must for the local dog walker or some family to stop off and have a nice beer and relax. I will be coming here again, highly recommend this establishment...

Had a lovely pint on the side of the canal. The locals recommended the Sunday lunch. Service and atmosphere was pleasant. I would definitely come here again.
