Second only in age to Hay Castle, the Three Tuns pub dates back to the early 16th Century – although some records make even earlier reference to this, the oldest pub in Hay on Wye.

Famous for its unique charm and character, it became a popular haunt with local characters and well known personalities such as Jools Holland, Marianne Faithful, Neil Kinnock, Huw Edwards and some as infamous as the Great Train Robbers!

Severely damaged by a devastating fire in 2005, the Three Tuns lay burned out empty, and crying out for sympathetic restoration.  In 2007, the heart of the old Three Tuns beats again, inside a restored and extended building to be enjoyed by everyone who visits. 

Enjoy our fine wines or cask ales in either of our relaxing bars  - there may be space to sit on the old settle, reclaimed from the fire and restored.  Savour our fine home cooked local food in the restaurant or our good, wholesome home cooked pub grub in the bars and the stone flagged, heated beer garden.  But if it’s coffee, home made ice cream and cakes you’re after – then enjoy the informal relaxed atmosphere in our Mediterranean-feel garden room.   

The Great Train Robbers might not have been too welcome in the past – but one thing of which we can assure you is a very warm welcome and an unforgettable experience at the Three Tuns.  Don't take our word for it here is what the press say. We hope to see you soon.
 
 

'The Three Tuns is streets ahead of most gastropubs, in London or anywhere else'


'Country pubs like the Three Tuns that display genuine restaurant skills - of welcome, of a proper menu, of evidence that people enjoy eating there - are a godsend' 


'Everything, from the friendly service to the posh rosemary bread, declares an enterprise that's striving to please you'
