The Castell Mynach, a country pub in Pontyclun

We’ve got everything you need from a country pub near you. 

Built in the 1930's, the name Castell Mynach translates into English as: "The Castle of the Monks", referring to an old monastery which the pub overlooked. The ruins of the monastery still stand, providing an interesting site to explore. Originally a residence, the pub was extended to accommodate the hostelry and our pub restaurant now stands on the grounds of the old stables.

Our menus are full of hearty favourites and country pub classics, as well as our seasonal dishes, and we’ll be ready with a well-stocked bar, including cask ales, fine wines and British gin to suit very taste - which will taste all the better when enjoyed either in our beautiful gardens or by our crackling log fires.

Our pub offers the best of town and country - close to the contemporary and historical delights of Cardiff, yet with great walks nearby. The name means Castle of the Monks, referring to a ruined monastery which the pub overlooks.
