Cardiff

Sophia Close, Off Cathedral Road

If you’re searching for the most unapologetically Welsh bar in Wales, look no farther than Y Mochyn Du pub. Named after a Welsh folk song that eulogises a recently departed pig, the tavern offers a locally inspired menu. Start with traditional lamb-and-vegetable cawl (that’s soup for you non-Welsh). Savour Welsh rarebit made with Welsh beer, or Welsh pork belly served with Welsh cider. Photos of Welsh sporting heroes grace the walls of the wood-panelled bar that was once a gatekeeper’s lodge. Join in on Welsh singing after matches at the nearby cricket ground. Need to brush up on your Welsh language skills? No worries, of course there are also weekly Welsh lessons.
