It is sometimes said that the history of a town can be seen in its public houses, and indeed they are often among the oldest surviving buildings. A nostalgic look at some of the great hostelries of the capital city.

As far back as 1340 the burgesses of Cardiff employed two ale-tasters to ensure the standard of the local beer was up to scratch. One of the oldest inn sites in the city is that occupied by the Owain Glyndwr in Church Street.

Called the Mably Arms in 1731, it has since been known as the Kemys Tynte Arms, the Tennis Court and the Buccaneer, before taking its current name in the 1970s.

Cardiff's docks naturally led to a maritime feel in its taverns, as the owners sought to lure in the sailors who arrived ashore with money to spend.

Bought this for my son. This is the second suit from this company that I've purchased and the quality is great. The material isn't cheap. My boy looked very nice and he received a lot of compliments.

Prom Suit
Color: Blue, Size: Medium
It came fast but the pants was still kind of big on my son he’s in a small for everything and I fix the jacket because the arms was a little bit long but my son loved it and said it was comfortable. Maybe size down if you can.
