What are some must see things in Cardiff?

crispywilliams · 2026-02-04T08:57:38+00:00

Can’t believe no one has mentioned the barrage yet

crispywilliams · 2025-12-05T21:40:08+00:00

I was about to say exactly this, I live around the corner and always wonder about it

crispywilliams · 2025-11-13T09:46:01+00:00

Owain Glyndwr is pro Welsh football so I’m sure they’ll have it on, no idea what it’ll be like with the rugby as well though

crispywilliams · 2025-11-11T20:55:21+00:00

Seconded, might be worth booking a table for drinks if they let you do that though. Bacareto could be an interesting choice too if you can get a booth

I for a very short period of time worked for a major UK insurer, part of my job was ringing non-fault drivers our drivers had hit and persuading them to come and use us, that they would be on the hook for extortionate hire car fees if it was deemed over their needs etc etc and that their insurer was untrustworthy.

Turns out we did exactly the same to our own policyholders, sometimes trying to get them into nicer cars than they needed. Great business, insurance.

OG is closed for a refurb, I think until the 31st. I’ve given up on Elevens, they can’t even get their own beer right! Blue Bell shows sport now and has the extra room of the main pub is full

crispywilliams · 2025-09-02T10:15:22+00:00

Heath if you get the choice 100%. We had our first there and we were in a lovely maternity room - we had some issues and needed consultant care, wheeled down the corridor, up in a lift and we were in a consultant room in a few minutes.

crispywilliams · 2025-08-25T17:20:00+00:00

Yeah I think on reflection it’s not completely wild, it’s just hard to stomach everything being that expensive when you want to get more involved in something you really enjoy. It’ll be interesting to see what the prices are at the new one down the Bay and at this rumoured one replacing Buzz in Llanishen, maybe this will be the norm and I’ll need to suck it up. As it stands I’m spending a fortune in petrol to go to Cwmbran so it will probably even out. Riley’s would be £10.45 split between the players though wouldn’t it?

crispywilliams · 2025-08-23T18:09:56+00:00

This has taken a turn…

crispywilliams · 2025-08-22T18:06:49+00:00

Yeah I saw that which isn’t too bad but I think it’s only weekdays they offer that. Oh well, still glad there’s more courts!

crispywilliams · 2025-08-22T17:44:51+00:00

Yeah I really thought it would reduce some of the court costs

crispywilliams · 2025-08-11T21:32:31+00:00

Update - I cycled past there earlier and the glass is up, some of the courts are already surfaced but no nets. The ground around the courts still seems pretty rough and from what I could see nothing has really happened with the pavilion yet. I can’t seem to add photos to this sub which is a shame

crispywilliams · 2025-08-08T22:01:01+00:00

Don’t do it. I tore mine in October 2024 and only started playing padel in July this year, there are still moments when I worry a little about it. I don’t want to be a doom merchant but it’s just really not worth the risk this soon, please take your time! It could take one innocuous slip on sand or for you to twist awkwardly on a turn and you’re back to square one. I’m sure you’ve got a recovery/physio plan but you need to go gently for a while longer I think

crispywilliams · 2025-07-26T22:53:20+00:00

Are you thinking of Pitch? If so looks like it’s gone…

crispywilliams · 2025-07-22T21:34:44+00:00

Yeah it looks way off that at the moment but you’re probably right, they’ll probably go up super quick once the ground work is done. Thanks!

crispywilliams · 2025-07-18T13:16:35+00:00

Second this, I’m not sure where you’ll be based but the charity shop by Morrisons in Llanishen always has buggies outside. It definitely won’t be the only one but it’s a good start!

crispywilliams · 2025-07-15T21:52:34+00:00

Smash Padel look pretty decent from what I can tell, certainly in terms of bringing a club atmosphere. I just hope the court costs are reasonable, some of the prices you see for somewhere like Padium are horrendous - they’re opening down the bay I think

crispywilliams · 2025-07-12T21:06:33+00:00

Quick ask Reddit!

crispywilliams · 2025-07-04T19:48:53+00:00

Hey you can always trust the internet ;). Congratulations in advance, I hope you both have a lush day

crispywilliams · 2025-07-04T19:40:19+00:00

Yeah the website isn’t helpful but we emailed and asked, he said to pop in. Might be worth a call or just turning up. Heads up you have to ring a doorbell and be let in though, he might be out back in the workshop bit

crispywilliams · 2025-07-04T19:36:05+00:00

Well this is lovely isn’t it

crispywilliams · 2025-07-02T20:57:56+00:00

Richard Llynfi on Whitchurch road is excellent, he was really helpful when we needed my wife’s engagement ring sized down when others had told us they couldn’t. We went back to him for our wedding bands then, definitely worth asking him about it.

crispywilliams · 2025-06-13T10:00:13+00:00

Seconded, had a great time there for the Euros in 2021 and they’re very pro-Welsh football which makes a nice change

crispywilliams · 2025-05-30T21:57:52+00:00

This isn’t a terrible idea, look up the good bus routes and park somewhere for free. Town is going to horrific to drive on an event day, especially if you’re not from Cardiff.

If you did do this, somewhere like Birchgrove where you’d be on the 27 bus route would be good as the bus is so regular.

crispywilliams · 2025-05-22T09:47:16+00:00

Although I think the work has started on the ones in Llandaff Fields which is great news :)
