Cask here was a single hand pump providing Cambrian Best Bitter. Keg offering of Fosters, Neck Oil, original SB, Amstel, Guinness, Inch's Riverside, Cruz and the three flavoured Old Mount ciders.

The Flying Club is on the perimeter of Cardiff Rhoose airport. The venue is quite difficult to spot initially when you arrive in the carpark at the front of the white building, but the entrance is at the right-hand edge of the building. There is some outside seating at the side and front, initially on a paved area with cover and via regular tables and chairs, then more significantly at the front on a grassy area and via picnic benches looking into the airfield through a mesh fence. The inside venue is up an internal flight of steps, and the bar counter is along the left-hand side with a lino skirt with some tall stool seating at the ends of the bar counter. Regular tables and chairs in the main floor space with a dartboard, pool table, and TV in the rear part by the balcony doors onto an outside covered seating area looking out over the airfield (much better via than ground level at the front). There are some small TV screens above the bar counter and not surprisingly there is a lot of flying memorabilia on the walls. Really interesting venue and well worth the trek here even if you don't have a flight after at the airport!
