The Plough, Whitchurch

Great local pub. It has bar area which can be busy on the weekend and a lounge area for a more relaxed evening. Also has a small side room which sort of works as an overflow section but you have to go back to the bar or lounge to get a drink. It also has a large skittle alley at the rear which can be hired out and is very popular.

It has two large outdoor areas, the front of the pub is popular with bar occupants while the pretty, leafy beer garden at the rear is a really lovely relaxing space.

The bar staff have been there for a long time and are super friendly with all the patrons. It's become a bit expensive of late and don't have a big range of drinks, another Brains pub, but always kept well.

During the day they serve hot meals which are really excellent. Proper home made pies and the like, delicious.

Fox and Hounds, Whitchurch

Decent local pub but can get very busy at times. Large beer garden which can be lovely in the summer if you don't mind small children running around all over the place.

Some drinks are extortionately priced, a friend ordered a bottle of Jacques and was charged �7.10! Food is standard pub grub but can be very slow service at times.

Has a sizeable car park.

The Lewis Arms, Tongwynlais

Many people have told me that this is a 'local pub for local people'. Couldn't be further from the truth. The pub lies on the Taff Trail and attracts hundreds of cyclists and walkers every week. In close proximity of lovely walks and a stones throw from the beautiful Castell Coch, The Lewis is very welcoming.

The staff are extremely friendly, as are the locals. The food and drink are standard Brains fare so nothing special there. Good pub quiz on Tuesday. Pretty front beer garden is popular on sunny days.
