The pub's stone-built grade II listed building is a place steeped in history. It has been at the heart of a thriving village community since around the 15th century. It was constructed to serve as the new town hall to replace the one lost, buried under the nearby Kenfig sand dunes, when huge storms engulfed the town beneath thousands of tons of sand. The erection of the venue also marked a formal separation of Kenfig from the nearby village of Maudlam.
