Features: There were once two pubs in the village of Darowen: The Red Lion and The Unicorn. What was the Red Lion is now a residence, and the original Unicorn was demolished, so we decided to adopt its name. The current The Unicorn began life as a garage, soon to become a workshop and store, later a summer house, and finally a pub. The bar is made from pitch pine pews salvaged from the chapel opposite, and it also contains a fine pew from the same building. Chairs are from another chapel and the faux marble tables came from a bar in Cardiff. A proper beer engine serves our own real ale, made with hops grown in the garden. There is plenty of interesting ephemera and photos (being added to all the time), a collection of real ale bottles (some quite old) and a chinese solid fuel stove to keep it nice and warm in winter. Morag supplied the competition darts board. Our most widely known visitor to date has been Lembit Opik, our local MP (at the time). It's used for village gatherings at Christmas and New Year, plus special events, birthdays and visiting relatives. Donations are made in the Wales Air Ambulance box: their helicopter once landed in the field right next to The Unicorn. It's a great place for us to relax after a busy week managing Kittiwake Guides.
