Canton Cross, The Canton (Llandaff Rd), Ivor Davies and The Admiral Napier. Lots of activity on a match day around that area. The Queen’s Vaults, I s’pose, in town due to it’s proximity to the ‘football bus’.

Hi all,
I don't usually go to any pubs pre-match but have some family visiting from Australia at the moment and would like to take them to a pub pre-match for a drink which is within walking distance and was looking for any recommendations?
Cheers!

Does the Sandmartin still insist on sit-down meals on match days?
Is it only for CCFC games, or Football?
I recall it was rammed for the egg chasers.
The Canton Hotel, Llandaff Road, small, friendly, get there early for a seat (12.30ish) lagers £3.80p/£4.80p, ciders £3.90p/£4.60p. Plus you get to drink out of a glass
The Canton Cross, similar to above, but ales about 30 to 50p dearer, all served in plastic
Napier, get there before Noon, and you can pre-book your drinks at about 80p to £1.20p cheaper, all served in plastic
Ivor Davies, Wetherspoons, nuff said, plastic
Corp, dear
Landsdown , dear
Butchers, can’t remember the last time it was open
Real ale places on Llandaff road, not my cup of tea
Liberal Club, cold and lacks atmosphere, ok for a wake
Chapter Arts, those who go there say it’s wonderful, never been, cannot comment
Just go to the ground. Excellent quality beers and lagers at very reasonable prices.
Crafty Devil only has draft beer, no real ale. It's good beer but more expensive than the pubs already mentioned.
Slizza (formerly St Canna's) and Chapter both havevreal ale as well as draft, but again, more expensive than the pubs.
If you want food Chapter and Slizza are good.
The Romilly is a good place to have a pre-match drink, whether it be before a Cardiff or Wales game. It doesn't take long to get served and the surroundings are pleasant and civilised.
