The Royal Oak, Cardiff

No cask. Keg offering of SB original, John Smiths, Peroni, Moretti, Carling, Guinness, Amstel, Carlsberg and Cruz.

Small venue on the main strip in Whitchurch. Some tables out the front railed off from the rest of the pavement. Inside there is a corner fabric banquette serving a couple of tables on a carpeted rectangle. Rest of this small bar area has the bar counter in the back corner with a boarded floor and a single other table against the right-hand wall. A large fruit machine sat against the left-hand wall otherwise smothered with photos of presumably regulars. A TV on opposite walls was showing Sky Sports Racing and Racing TV absent commentary with an enjoyable poppy soundtrack. A back bar with a larger table and chair capacity, its own bar counter with the same beer offering and a dartboard in the far corner was not open on my visit.
