The Ty Mawr is a gastropub on Graig Road in Lisvane, Cardiff. A beer garden, fireplace and dog friendly areas create the feel of a country pub close to the city, while parking and accessible facilities make visits straightforward. A children’s play area and high chairs support family meals.
Seasonal menus focus on British pub cooking, combining steaks, pies and familiar main courses with changing specials. Starters and sharers suit a casual drink, while desserts provide a traditional finish to a longer meal. The kitchen aims for recognisable flavours prepared with dependable ingredients.
Children have their own menu, and the range includes meat free choices for mixed groups. Intimate dining and meeting spaces can be hired for birthdays, family gatherings or work events with up to around sixty guests. Anyone with allergies should check the latest menu and speak with staff before ordering.
Cask ale, beer, cider, wine, cocktails, spirits and soft drinks give the bar a broad role alongside the food. Board games and outdoor space encourage guests to stay beyond the meal. The Ty Mawr combines family friendly facilities with the food and drink expected of a relaxed modern Cardiff pub.
