Our Comments: Pub with bar and non-smoking restaurant. Tell them you are vegan, as the food is freshly prepared they will tell you what on the menu is suitable. With prior notice they will cook other vegan dishes. All the staff are very helpful and friendly. The chips are fried separately from meat too. It seems like a country pub even though it’s only a couple of miles from Cardiff.
Location: Take the road from Tongwynlais past Castell Coch through a mile or so of woods. It’s just past a golf club.
