Welcome
We like to think the Bunch of Grapes is how a great pub should be, a friendly welcoming bar serving award winning ales ciders and bottle beers in front of a roaring log fire with a restaurant attached that also serves award winning food. Using locally sourced seasonal produce with creativity and flair but without pretence.
A pub where you are likely to walk in to beer festival one day with a Welsh choir in full voice and return another to find a Welsh cheese and cider festival in the main bar.
Where you can enjoy a home made pie and mash in the bar with a pint of Welsh ale while cheering on the Welsh rugby and then return with friends to a fine dining meal in the restaurant with wines from around the world the next.
But if you prefer you can just sit in the corner, read your paper, enjoy your beer and be happy you have found us.

Bunch Beer Academy Social & Upcoming Events
Adrian Tierney Jones – Beer writer, journalist and author – and co-brewer of the awesome Otley Brewing Co. – Saison Obscura, will be coming to South Wales for Saturday 23rd March at both the Bunch of Grapes and the King’s Arms.
Adrian is author of beer blog, Called to the Bar and features regularly in national newspapers. He has authored several books on beer, including ’1001 Beers: You must try before you die”, “The Big Book of Beer” and CAMRA’s “Great British Pubs”. He’ll be joining us for an informal talk on his favourite pubs and the role of the pub in society, to the setting of a few beers by the fire.
In April, Pete Brown, will also be travelling to South Wales to be with us on St. Georges Day (23rd April). His brief bio on Amazon.co.uk sums up Pete’s enviable career:
” Pete Brown used to advertise lager for a living, until he realized that writing books about beer was even more fun, and entailed drinking even more beer. He appears regularly on television as a beer expert, writes on beer for a variety of publications and is the author of Man Walks into a Pub and the award-winning travel book Three Sheets to the Wind”
Pete’s most recent publication is entitled “Shakespeare’s Local: Six Centuries of History Seen Through One Extraordinary Pub” and tells the story of The George Inn near London Bridge and it’s literary clientele over the last six hundred years, from Chaucer to Shakespeare to Dickens. He’ll be joining us with a few different beers that help to tell his tales, signing copies of Shakespeare’s Local and joining us for a few beers. Pete’s a great guy, and this is your chance to meet a man for whom Beer has literally taken him around the world.
For more information on any of these events, simply get in touch with me by emailing garethhutt@bunchofgrapes.org.uk
Cheers all!
