The Llanover Arms, Trallwn, Pontypridd

Closed about a year ago. A building site when I drove past a while ago. [admin note: marked as closed 23/12/09]

An extraordinary little pub, which I haven't been to in years, but I made the effort as it is in the Good Beer Guide. I was taken aback at the bar, which appears completely original, and I confess to a weakness for this type of decor. I was impressed also by the selection of real ales, Brain's Dark and Bitter, Felinfoel Double Dragon ( these were the regular beers), and Tudor Skirrid, which is an excellent golden beer. The locals were friendly, which is novelty in these parts. Doubtless I shall be going back soon.
