As the cold weather closes in, nothing is quite as inviting as a cosy pub, warming meals, and a fantastic atmosphere, and this Welsh business is here to keep you busy during the winter season.
Discover Ty'r Winch, a family-owned pub nestled in Old St Mellons, Cardiff, with its two open fires, outside decking, and a mouthwatering menu.
The welcoming pub is the place to be for wintery days out and Christmas fun. Launching its winter menu on Wednesday, October 25, 2023, this beautiful grade II listed building is the perfect place to shelter from the weather and enjoy home-cooked meals with friends and family.
With a festive menu on offer during December, why not book a table and marvel at the 30ft Christmas tree that will be standing proudly on the gorgeous outside decking? Inside, the magic will continue with three more real Christmas trees flickering in the light of the wood fires.
On December 15, 2023, the local church will host a carol service to get you in the festive spirit, while on December 16, the gastro-pub hosts a very special guest: Santa Claus.
Families are invited to enjoy lunch with Santa and can expect festive music, yummy food, and the chance to meet Father Christmas.
Acquired by Andrew and Lorna Edwards in June 2021, the Ty'r Winch has undergone an impressive refurbishment as well as incorporated an all-new guest house, earning it an average score of 4.7 stars on Google Reviews and 5-star hygiene rating two years in a row.
Taking on the pub in the midst of the pandemic might have seemed risky to many, but Andrew and Lorna were able to keep on the existing staff and as well as bring in a senior team for managerial roles. With the addition of the guest house, Ty'r Winch has created 28 jobs for the local community and continues to welcome locals and tourists alike.
Having two little boys of their own, Andrew and Lorna see the gastro-pub as an extension of their family, with staff members happy to chip in during the restoration. In fact, Andrew estimates that 80% of the building work done in the hotel and pub was undertaken by himself, Lorna, and the enthusiastic staff members who kindly offered their time.
Whether you're planning a winter getaway or visiting family over the Christmas period, the luxurious guest house promises a snug and restful stay. The converted building sits on the pub site and is home to eight en suite rooms including a family room, making it the perfect spot if you're attending one of the fun events hosted at the pub.
With themed evenings such as Faulty Towers and 'Allo 'Allo and its popular tapas and wine-tasting events, Ty'r Winch is well placed to offer a night of fun.
This New Year's Eve, the pub will host a tapas evening, allowing guests to try a varied menu of delicious small plates and bring in the new year. Ty'r Winch will announce more information about the New Year celebration and recommends anyone interested look out for updates on Facebook or Instagram.
Plus, if you're planning an event, the function room caters for up to 90 people and has a private bar, making it perfect for office parties, birthday celebrations, wedding receptions, or any other celebration.
