Maltsters Whitchurch in Cardiff

Cracking little pub. We got there for a well deserved pint after a training session.

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!

Felt very welcome when I came to the pub was a really good atmosphere

Very friendly and welcoming pub highly recommended service with a smile

Beer excellent, good atmosphere.staff friendly.What more could you ask for

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!

Good selection of alcohol free (non soft drinks) Great to see the addition of guinness zero

Too expensive to drink in matstons pubs. Un comfortable seating. Ok if sitting outside in nice weather.

Perfect pub to meet up with family and friends, very welcoming to children compared to others in the area, welcoming faces when you enter with a good range of drinks for anyone of any age from bitter to shots, some amazing deals on bottles and shots, will be visiting again very soon

Not what was expected. Crèche. Attitude off landlady when felt my drink was not correct. Pub slated in local area for closing early. Was hoping to be local

Amazing Atmosphere Lovely staff And landlady is amazing 5 Star all round

great pint of bitter, would reccomend. great selection of lagers.

Good pint of Brains Bitter. Far better than exactly the same at another pub a few doors down.

Visited this place a few times now and can’t believe the hospitality that they serve so polite and they always go above and beyond for any guest !!…for a person who runs their own pub this place hits top marks

Lovely pint of Rev. Wonderful staff

Best spot in Whitchurch. Maggie and Paul, friendly and helpful, can always rely on this place for a good night 👏🏼

ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Brilliant atmosphere! The staff always give a warm welcome and are very attentive! Couldn’t recommend this place enough! Wide variety of drinks to choose from with live sports entertainment. What more could you want!

Lovely selection of gins lovely atmosphere

Great friendly pub, reasonably priced

Popped in for a quick pint, friendly staff and reasonably priced beer!

A great traditional pub offering excellent quality beers etc. A warm welcome provided my Maggie and team. Let us hope they are here to stay.

Best pub in Whitchurch hands down! Staff are always lovely! The locals make it 👌🏻

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!

We love coming for a quick drink or spending the day/evening! The staff are very friendly and it’s a wonderful atmosphere

Great pub good atmosphere very friendly locals and bar staff really friendly will return

Great old traditional drinking pub. Great atmosphere and friendly clientele

Really good local pub which we have started using as it has a really nice atmosphere and good beer at reasonable prices not like the ridiculously overpriced plough, the staff are all very friendly also good for sports coverage, we all had good afternoon and evening here 🍺🍺🍺🍷🍷🍷

Fish was so baked, I couldn't cut it. Peas were like marbles. No-one asked us if everything was OK and staff seemed illusive. Generally not what we would expect.

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!!

Great welcome in a good old fashioned pub - not many like this left unfortunately

Really welcoming , popped in for a Boxing Day drink.

Fantastic local pub, asset to the village of Whitchurch. Great atmosphere with welcoming and helpful staff and a fab range of drinks.

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.

Great friendly local bar Was on holiday and made very welcome

SWANSEA lad Myself made to feel very Welcome Great Place is a traditional pub I recommend to anyone Visiting the area X

Brilliant pub, lovely staff always very pleasant and happy. Atmosphere is amazing always enjoy our time with Colin and his team.

Another excellent night here again fabulous atmosphere everyone enjoying themselves singing to the karaoke bar staff are so polite and friendly landlord colin always make you feel welcome locals are very friendly and welcoming too I would recommend this pub fab place to be

Friendly people working there .you get a good pint .good atmosphere, if you want a quiet drink with your partner or you want to watch the football with your mates ,there are blackboards around the pub letting you know when they are showing football.

Food and portion size totally unacceptable .

Very quiet but it was Monday it probably gets quite busy later in the week. Shows sport on tv, I thought the wine a bit pricey at £6.10 for a medium glass of Sauvignon Blanc and I don't know if they do food.

Had another fab night here again lovely atmosphere staff and regulars lovely had a good laugh Shall be taking friends there again

Great night out here nothing is to much trouble lovely seating area back and front service great lovely atmosphere Well done Col and team molly

Possibly the best pub lunch my wife and I have ever had. Better bruschetta than most Italian restaurants, and the chilli was outstanding. My wife's steak was also excellent. Will be in contact with you to arrange my 80th Birthday later in the year for approximately 30 guests.

Great atmosphere, fab staff and a wide range of drinks. Love this pub!

The Maltsters Arms in Whitchurch, Cardiff has long been a comunity pub, offering a wide selection of beers and activites. It is an excellent meeting place and a magnet for Sports watchers and music. May the traditional values and warm welcomes long continue.

Beer 10/10 Vibe 9.5/10 Decor 10/10 Sian 10/10 What a pub, what a place, what a pint

The best local not only in Whitchurch, but all of Cardiff. Wonderful bar staff and owner, who are always welcoming and willing to have a chat with you. Great regulars also give it a familial feel where you always feel welcome. A great selection of live sports shown (BT and sky) is the icing on top.

Had a lovely evening , friendly staff , good value for drinks , lovely atmosphere will be returning again karaoke was amazing

Lovely little pub reasonably priced beer, staff are so welcoming and nothing is ever too much for them! If your in the area and looking for a cheeky tipple this place is highly recommended! Also do karaoke once a month which is a massive hit with all the locals! Keep doing what your doing team Molly and Colin!

Love how warm and welcoming the staff are 😊 great place!

I visited here last week with a colleague and had a meeting in the side room. The team were really friendly, especially Colin who I think is the landlord. We were really well looked after and the pub was really busy at lunchtime so it...

This pub has such a great atmosphere. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble for the landlords. We have held many family events here and would highly recommend this pub not just for its village location and prices but the service and hospitality is second to none! Also dog and child friendly!

What a fab evening once again everyone enjoyed themselves lovely atmosphere The best pub in the village Well done Col and team molly

Great pub. Friendly staff. Good beer. Excellent karaoke. Would recommend. Always feel welcome. Good traditional pub
