The Three Tuns 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, Three Tuns 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, a sympathetic restoration was carried out. The heart of the old Three Tuns beats again, inside a restored and extended building to be enjoyed by everyone who visits us at Hay on Wye.

Enjoy our fine wines or cask ales in either of our relaxing. 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.

Don't take our word for it; here is what the press say. We hope to see you soon.
