Whitchill Hotel, Gibbonsdown, Barry

Visited 28/11/25 No cask. Keg offering of original and dark fruits SB, Carling, Worthington CF, Guinness, Stella, Coors and Henry Weston's Vintage cider. This one didn't look too promising from my approach at the front but the entrance on the side led to an old school social club feel type of venue. The bar counter was in the front left-hand corner, and it had a lino skirt with tall stool seating. The right-hand front side and the entirety of the rear was carpeted with a couple of pool tables taking pride of place in the rear. A banquette along the front right-hand wall serving regular tables provided the bulk of the seating capacity here. Very sporty venue with the TVs showing different early Sat evening action absent sound, that provided by a raucous pop soundtrack. Pretty ornamental ceiling hinting at a greater glory in years gone by.
