| It's a nice pub. i've ensconced myself in there a few times. The only time it was a bit too Welsh was when I was looking at the menu. Then I turned the menu over and read it english, problem solved. The Guinness is nice, and they serve Castlemaine, which is a nice change from fosters/carling. Watch the sport in there, lovely stuff. ANy Liverpool fans? go there when they're on telly and look for Sion, Alex, Bale etc. They'll be pleased to see you. Stout - 4 Sep 2008 14:43 |
| Just round the corner from the Cayo I popped in for a couple of pints of the Vale of Glamorgan VOG which was in good condition. Watched the football on Sky Sports before watching the canaries at Ninian Park. Micky_P - 3 Sep 2008 22:04 |
| 'Has the feel of a Harvester'? What a bloody insult. Harversters are bland, corporate family factory's unlike Y Mochyn Du which, as previously mentioned is a pub is full of character, well kept ales and great cricketing memorabilia. And what is this 'fiercely Welsh' nonsense. Just because the pub has the temerity to sport a Welsh name (in Wales....shocking) and Robert Croft had the nerve to write his poem in Welsh doesn't mean that it's heaving with cottage burning ultra Welsh Nationalists. Much better pubs in Southampton of course although none spring to mind. johnkn7 - 30 Aug 2008 11:40 |
| Came in here out of the rain on Saturday before Saints' visit to Ninian Park. This pub had been described as "fiercely Welsh" so I was expecting some sort of dodgy back street boozer where conversation would stop as you walked in. This actually has the feel of a Harvester, perfectly friendly. Otley O1, Brains bitter and two Vale of Glamorgan beers that we were told are breewed for the pub, Cwrw Haf and Y Mochyn Du. Also had Leffe and Hoegaarden on draught. Close to the Cayo so worth a visit if you are in the area. GuideDogSaint - 10 Aug 2008 20:46 |
| WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. From word of mouth and previous reviews I thought this place would be good but I was to be let down. 3 staff but only one serving,and slowly at that. Idiot tourist taking 5 mins to order 2 halves of lager. Thought Otley ale might have been on,but was presented with 2 from VOG brewery,Brains Bitter and a blank tap. Fruit machine deceptively looks like a quiz machine. Cricket on telly as expected. Ale quality was moderate and bar man was snappy on complaint. AVOID Father Jack says!! an_ecunemical_matter - 2 Aug 2008 12:57 |
