Honestly can’t believe this pub, great service from Landlord Paul is one thing but when we heard of all the creative initiatives from landlady Mags I was massively impressed! Heaps of money being raised for charity, getting the kids involved in Halloween and Christmas parties, and all sorts of other bits to keep the business growing and thriving while benefitting Llandaf and keeping regulars happy. Not joking when I say this pub is taking themselves seriously and deserving of your custom!

Friendly Atmosphere and Great Beers I recently visited this lovely community pub in the heart of Whitchurch, Cardiff, and was really impressed. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and friendly chatter from the regulars, who made me feel right at home. It’s clear that this pub is the hub of the local community, and the atmosphere is welcoming to newcomers and locals alike. The selection of beers is fantastic, with a good variety of ales, lagers, and ciders on tap – something for every taste. The staff are knowledgeable about the different beers and are more than happy to offer recommendations if you’re unsure of what to try. For sports fans, this place is a real treat. There are plenty of screens showing live sport, so you’re never far from the action. Whether it's football, rugby, or cricket, the pub has a great atmosphere. Overall, this pub is a true gem with a genuine community spirit, great drinks, and a traditional pub atmosphere which is so lacking these days. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The moment I stepped into Malsters Pub, it felt like entering a world where time slows down and laughter lingers in the air. The decor is a delightful mix of vintage pub charm and an eclectic array of knick-knacks you'd find in your grandma’s attic. I half expected to stumble upon a hidden time machine among the antique clocks and dusty portraits. The staff? They’re like the Avengers of hospitality. Maggie, with her infectious laugh, could probably cure the common cold. She recommended the Bira Moretti, which was so good it almost made me give up on my quest for a six-pack (of abs, not beer). Now, let’s talk about the locals. They range from the local philosopher who’ll debate the meaning of life with you over a pint to the aspiring karaoke star whose rendition of “Sweet Caroline” could make Neil Diamond reconsider his career. The beer selection is impressive, I tried something called “San Miguel,” which tasted like regular lager with a dash of lemonade. But hey, I’m not complaining – it was delicious and gave me the courage to challenge a stranger to a game of darts. (Spoiler: I lost. Badly.) Malsters Pub is the kind of place where strangers become friends and friends become karaoke partners. Whether you’re there for the drinks or just to soak in the quirky atmosphere, you’re guaranteed a night full of laughter and memories. Rating: 5/5 pint glasses – because any pub that makes you feel like a cherished regular on your first visit is worth its weight in beer! Hope this brings a smile to your face!

While we’ve eaten there in the past, this was our first stay in the hotel. We stayed two nights (Feb 23 to Feb 25) in the room Castell Coch, which was a lovely room. We ate two breakfasts and one dinner this weekend. The food was amazing!! All the staff was excellent, accommodating and cheerful but I’d like to single out Chris as exceptional. He was our morning concierge/breakfast waiter and was an absolute delight and great help. We had a problem with a broken toilet seat which he arranged to have fixed in no time. As a waiter he was efficient and very engaging. I can’t express enough what a great representative to your business he is! We will absolutely be back next time we’re in Cardiff!!

Called into the Malsters recently for a few drinks ….the main lounge was shut due to a private function so we sat in the front bar. I would say this was a proper old fashioned pub like the old days! No music or fancy gimmicks. Just a good old fashioned bar when you can sit and chat. We noticed chairs and tables outside with nice flowers etc but it was a bit too cold for us ! A nice addition to Whitchurch village.
