Senedd Member Joel James has launched a competition to find South Wales Central’s best pub of 2023!

The competition promises to be a celebration of the region’s outstanding pubs, with South Wales Central covering Rhondda Cynon Taf, Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan.

The award of South Wales Central’s Best Pub will be awarded to an overall winner voted for by residents, with a further selection of pubs selected as area winners.

Area winners, voted by residents, will follow Welsh Parliamentary constituencies of Pontypridd, Rhondda, Cynon Valley, Cardiff West, Cardiff North, Cardiff Central, Cardiff South and Penarth and the Vale of Glamorgan to acknowledge the wide variety of businesses across the region.
