Now a Craft Ale bar, when did Canton become hipster? It's the second Craft Ale bar on that same stretch of Llandaf Rd.
The other had enough room for a dozen people and had the football on a large TV. Looked lovely.
More like Lower Pontcanna than Canton these days.
Great beer mind.
St Cannas is great the landlord is an ex vicar nice chap.
Chapter is a nice alternative venue as well.
A granny from a Splott family passes away. Her young grandson asks his mum what’s happened to her, as he hasn’t seen her for weeks. Trying not to upset the young lad, his mum says “Granny’s gone to a better place”” the young lad says “**** me, that could be anywhere!!!”
St Canna's opened in April 2017. I go in there for a pint before most matches and often after as well. It has an ever changing range of Welsh beers. Not just James, the owner, but the staff are friendly and plenty of non-hipsters go in there. Often get to chat to away fans who seek it out before the game.
Len Ashurst gave me a bit of advice when i was an Apprentice at the club during his second visit-I took a cup of tea into his office, obviously for him-I was holding it not by the handle but around the rim-He said 'Son, never carry a cup of tea like that, you might have had your finger up your arse' He must've been watching me.
I think you'll find no better lesson Len left us , for which we can all take time today to be thankful for for him raising our awareness - never accept a cup of tea from someone carrying it with their hand around the rim - they may have had their finger up their bum. R.I.P. Len
Craft beer can **** off. Too many hops.
