The Malcolm Uphill (JD Wetherspoon), Caerphilly

The Malcolm Uphill is set just opposite Caerphilly Rail Station and appears to be two separate buildings. Inside it's an L shaped room with typical fixtures and fittings. When I arrived one of the managers was telling off a couple of brats for rampaging up and down the bar. She should have saved it for the chavvy parents who were sitting in an area at the back completely unaware of the havoc their offspring were causing. Although there are ten hand pumps the beer choice was poor with two ciders, the JDW Trio Of Doom doubled up, Green Jack Lurcher Stout and Exmoor Gold Export. I went for the Exmoor beer which was in good nick. Caerphilly is rather larger and with the Castle more touristy than other South Wales towns so you would think they could do a bit better on the beer front here.
