Upmarket local, opposite the church, in suburban village on edge of the green belt. The original village pub has been extended uphill to provide a substantial restaurant area.

There is a small, covered smoking area at the rear plus a larger outdoor drinking area at the front. It is a Greene King pub and two of the four beers are likely to be from that brewery. Note that the Lilley's cider is not recognised by CAMRA as traditional.

Information for this venue is provided by the Cardiff Branch of CAMRA
