The best little pub in Llandaff village, The Butchers consists of 3 interlinked rooms: a small tap bar, the lounge, and the rear snug, which in turn leads out to a secluded, walled beer garden. Regular beers are Bass and HB, with guest beers always on tap. Light pub grub is served.

Originally a Butchers Shop in 1841, it was converted to the aptly named pub in 1880. The remnants of a stable at the back imply a former role as a coach house. The latin on the pub sign translates as “We’re all equal under the hooves of sheep and cattle”.

The walls are covered by upwards of 150 framed photographs, prints and cartoons of Welsh sporting heroes, mainly from the fields of rugby, cricket and soccer. Some are signed with dedications. A sports fanatic could spend happy hours delighting in this gallery. The outside window is engraved with the logo of Hancocks Brewery, the now defunct old Cardiff Brewer.

Books and newspapers are scattered around, but the Butchers is such a friendly place that you are unlikely to find the time to read.
