The pub is a quirky pub in an old sub post office, all beers served on gravity.

Basic décor, with a friendly atmosphere. A welcome addition to the area of otherwise mediocre beers. Currently serving up to three ales on gravity, and a good selection of boxed ciders. The beers can come from anywhere in the UK and constantly change Craft bottles and cans have their own menu. There are occasional pre-arranged closures, so check the pub's Facebook site before travelling.

Cardiff CAMRA Cider/Perry Pub of the Year.
