The White Cross in Caerphilly

Fantastic pub that ticks all my boxes! Great beer & atmosphere with fine serving staff. Thanks. I’ll be back!

We went there because an episode of Doctor Who was filmed here. We popped in on our way home from West Wales. It's a gorgeous country pub with beautiful decor. The landlady was friendly and welcoming (as were the regulars) and the drinks were reasonably priced. It's a real community pub where everyone knows each other, looks after each other, and cares for each other.

Just whatever you do, don't speak to the old lady outside

I’d watch out for a creepy woman standing 73 yards from the pub, though.

Accidentally stepped on some cotton and now there’s an odd figure standing 73 yards away from me that I can see from the window. It just made a local run for the hills. What should I do?

A lovely little pub, but was bery quiet when we were there

Nice atmosphere. And very nice local ale

Love the White Cross. Oh, I wish there were more pubs like this one. Mia the owner does a great job at making a great community pub.

Excellent range of real ales always on tap. One of the last unspoilt pubs around. If you like posh, squeaky clean pubs, don't go,

Best real ale pub in the area. Highly recommend this fab beer house.....and a great day for Christmas Eve as well....

If you thought of the image of typical old country pub , This IS IT. !!!! Set in the countryside , fantastic views ,,, warmest of welcoming , interesting engaging locals ,,, well tended beers and ciders ,, hearty meals offerings. You just know the landlords have a real passion for the trade. Will definitely merit a return visit.

I've been deprived of real ale having lived in france. The beer here is absolutely fabulous. The locals were friendly and the bar person was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended

Brilliant pub. Just love it. Don't do food apart from rolls and bar snacks but thats just fine.

What an idyllic public house. Landlady so lovely made us feel so welcome. Well done. Definitely worth a visit

Long time Fox hunting supporting owner. Enough of a reason to never visit.

Great pub with a good selection of proper ales. 👍👍

Can't comment on Food,never eaten here,service and management very good,excellent choice of Real Ales,Cheers K

A most welcoming place: an old style local, the like of which are now few and far between.

Homely, warm feeling. Sit outside and enjoy the scenery.

Fantastic place and Mair was such good company. She was friendly, funny and knowledgeable about walking in the area. Loved the pub and Anstel lager. Thanks so much for a lovely time! 😍 xx From the terrible twins. Xx

Best pub around for miles. Beer is fantastic, staff are happy to help and regulars welcoming. Highly recommended.

Popped in after finding my grandfather's grave in the chapel next door. Warm and welcoming and a nice pint.

Best pub I have ever been to. Really nice atmosphere. Fantastic landlady.

Stopped here on my mountain bike, been meaning to do it for a while, I've been before but not for a long time, so glad I made the effort as I had an undisclosed number pints of good stout and got chatting with the locals and landlady, fire was lush as is the pub and people, thankyou until next time 🍻😁👌

A lovely, old fashioned country pub with very friendly customers and a landlady that you would want to make this place your 'local'....pity I live in Kent!! I will be back!

Amazing family/dog friendly pub, always give the warmest of welcomes

A proper pub! Traditional, friendly, plenty of outdoor seating, enjoyed our visit.

Lovely old pub but £7.50 for a pint of cider and a glass of rosé was a bit steep!!!

Pub with a great view and original, with great real ales

Nice place to have a quite pint in its location

Typical traditional pub. Good range of real ales and lovely staff.

Lovely place, very clean, landlady very attentive.

great pub, friendly with a warm welcome, the beer is second to none & not overpriced like most pubs. the views outside are pretty stunning too, would be nice to sit outside with a pint of the finest & just watch the world go by! oh, and its dog friendly!!

Great pub, unspoilt, friendly and the beer is excellent. We'll worth a visit even in these winter months

Very friendly and helpful staff

Superb beer and a friendly atmosphere well worth a visit

If you want an old fashioned country pub with a warm welcome and the finest beers at cheap prices, then this is the place for you. This is the best pub around by a country mile. Mair is a brilliant landlady and knows more about beer than 99.9% of publicans. Pubs like this are a dying breed so please consider giving it your support. Diolch.

A really great down to earth village pub, with no frills or unnecessaries but just very good beer

Warmest welcome ever by host Mair. A true community pub the way pubs should be. Fantastic!

Good little pub, overlooking Caerphilly. Friendly atmosphere

Spectacular views, especially from the beer garden, and always a good range of real ales and cider on offer.

Lovely oldie worldie pub. Fab atmosphere

Fantastic proper pub, a warm welcome from the owner, lovely choice of guest ales along with regular lagers and ciders. I'll be back for definite.

Really good ale all drinks reasonable price only down fall they only have rolls for food

My favourite pub since I was a child. My parents brought my sister and I up there, cross country in the 50's. A real haven.

Great old fashioned pub for adults

Great little pub good choice of ales and at £3 a pint fantastic value. Mair the landlady very welcoming.

Friendly rural pub with good real ale

As always, best of welcome. Just love the place,,regulars always make you feel welcome..prices are far cheaper than in town.Well worth the walk up, views are stunning.

A very friendly local pub with real ales, real fires and real Sunday dinners. Dog, horse and child friendly. Reasonable prices and great views from the carpark and beer garden. A great meeting place for local rambling and other countryside pursuits yet not too far from Caerphilly proper.

Far from the madding crowd.... with apologies to Thomas Hardy.

Great welcome, distancing abided by

Great service lovely views over Caerphilly, plus great glass cold wine and bottle of cider for hubby.

A cracking stop on a steady walk, good local drinks

An authentic Welsh country pub with welcoming and open locals. Sitting outside is lovely in the summer.

Tidy pub been visiting for 30 odd years!

Great local pub, very good beer and a big welcome.

Best pub in Caerphilly. Good ale, great atmosphere and an amazing landlady!!!!! (though she is a wee bit crackers) Lady Mair.

Great pub always a warm welcome. The real ale is superb

Great pub ,real ale here lots of choice !!☺

Lovely county pub as it should be. Good selection of ales, cider and beer from local brewery's. Great landlady as well. Open fire for those cold wintery days

Old stone building lovely character looking over old churchyard quaint

Best pub in Caerphilly by a country mile.. No food but a real ale drinkers pub.. Enough said really

Hidden gem with 4 very well kept ales.

Lovely quirky little pub. Really old school. No food but such a homely feeling

Great local pub with a massive selection of beers and friendly locals.

Good beer, friendly country pub

Loved this place since I was a kid. Don't get here much though.

Excellent choice of ales, cosy and welcoming. Reasonably priced. Does not serve food but groups can be catered for if prearranged. Function room available, real fires, pool table, dartboard and jukebox

Great selection of cask beers and cider. Friendly locals happy to advise which of the lovely beers to try. Nice views from the front.

Lovely place, great atmosphere. Varied (very) selection of ales.

A very unfriendly pub bit like the pub in a American werewolf bitty was a nice old pub

Friendly pub with Three Real Ales on. Front bar with pool table, larger room at back. Tremendous views of Caerphilly in valley.
