Despite it having a mixed reputation amongst locals, the Cwrt House is one of my favourite pubs in…read moreCaerphilly. Whether it's the cheesy 80's classics that often ring out on a Saturday night or the summer allure of the huge beer garden at the rear of the venue, but the Cwrt House is easily one of the best nights out in the Caerphilly area. While it is far from Cardiff standard when it comes to a full night out, this is the place to go if you want a fun night of social drinking but are hoping to save on the pennies. The pub itself isn't anything special, but a summer evening will regularly lead a large portion of Caerphilly to congregate in the aforementioned beer garden. Complete with patio heaters and numerous large, wooden tables and benches, it is far from unusual to find the garden considerably more crowded than the actual pub itself, with punters often setting up camp in a spot outside. The staff are quite friendly and have somehow managed to get the task of serving in a busy pub down to an art form, despite the bar being modestly sized and a bit of a squeeze. If you're waiting to be served on a busy Saturday night, chances are you won't be waiting too long before you've got a drink in your hand. Situated in the upper part of Caerphilly town centre, there are a variety of other pubs in close proximity, which is ideal if you fancy a change of scenery after a few pints; although you'll have a hard time finding an social atmosphere as good as the Cwrt House.

Excellent pub outside of Carephilly. It was exactly what we were looking for. We travelled to…read moreCardiff for a Karate tournament and were staying nearby. It was an excellent tasty dinner in an old Welsh pub. The staff was super staff and cheerful. There was a great selection for dinner. Our order was traditional meals with steak pies, fish and chips, and burgers. My wife had scallops and sea base, and my son had salmon. We then loaded up on the desserts. I had the chocolate brownie with cotted vanilla ice cream. We left a big tip. They earned it.

When I think of a pub, I would never associate classy, rustic, and countryside views with it…read more Maenllwyd Inn begs to differ in those aspects. The interior itself is cozy with a combination of stones and wood accents everywhere. I spied a beautiful patio where the scenery has no obstructions. We, however decided to stay indoors and got a nice corner round table by the window next to the fireplace. Adding to the homey feel, the gentleman who took care of us was jovial and friendly throughout our wonderful lunch here. I started with the STILTON and PEPPER MUSHROOMS on a brioche bread. I was swayed to try this granted that this is an English cheese produced only in the UK, similar to blue cheese in strong smell and taste. What a superb dish! The FISH and CHIPS was also the best I had on this trip. Perfectly crisp batter on the outside and a flaky moist white fish inside, every criteria they nailed. Even the chips were just the right thickness with not a single one of them soggy. A very fitting last meal in Wales that was pleasant and memorable.

From car park you have to go over a little bridge which was overgrown and then walk around to the front, passing by an old picnic bench area, the smokers shed etc. Before finding the door in. On a brighter note the food was really good. But it is no wonder the place was empty when no one can find the way to the door. If I hadn't been there before I would have got in my car and driven somewhere else.

The food is pretty inexpensive. We had fish and chips, halloumi and chips, a soda, and Guinness for about £13. The food quality is ok. The halloumi was quite salty, but otherwise fine. The crowd is mixed ages, over half (or more) were 40+. There is pretty ample seating; we had no difficulties finding a table on Friday around 7 pm. The one thing that felt a little odd was the music selection. It varied wildly, from Whitney Houston to Linkin Park, many of which were unusual selections for pubs.

When we were there for a wedding reception they'd put a buffet on which was excellent, much better than I might've expected to be honest. If you're there, make sure to have a chat with their pet parrot. She's in one of the back rooms and is usually happy to chat with customers. Because it lives in a pub it's been taught a wide selection of rude things to say, and it wolf whistles (usually at men), so maybe don't introduce her to the kids.

The Moat House is definitely one of my favourite pubs in Caerphilly. Whether it's the cheap beer…read moreprices, the great food menu or the endless supply of classic rock on the jukebox, there are too many reasons why this pub normally finds itself on my weekend itinerary. While it may not look too flashy from the outside, The Moat is a really fun local pub. With a pool table, dart board and itbox (in addition to the aforementioned musical goldmine of a jukebox), there's lots to keep the average punter amused on a Friday night. Failing that, there are usually a good number of regulars happy to partake in some mid-pint banter while you prop up the bar. Another attractive feature is the menu. Serving food all day long, The Moat is part of many chain pubs under the Sizzler banner, specialising in fantastic pub grub. The food on offer is superb and, if steak was one of the seven deadly sins, then the sight of those bovine bad boys searing away on a skillet would be an immediate sentence to hell - they are that good. While there are regular quiz, curry and poker nights held throughout the week, my personal favourite night only arrives once a year. The Moat has established itself as the site of my yuletide celebrations for the past three years and, not counting a festive hangover, I always leave having had a great time. The atmosphere is enjoyable, the place is packed with familiar faces and spirits are high, as the whole pub celebrates the Christmas season with a drink in hand and a smile on their face.
