Big Chill House
The
Big Chill has such a substantial and devoted army of fans that, should they be
so inclined, they could comfortably take on the army of a small country. But
however tempting it is to set them on Wales and watch what happens, the Big
Chill's crowd is all about the happy vibe and would much rather crack open a
beer than a skull. Their easygoing warmth is fortunate for the bar staff, who
entirely take advantage of their customers' good nature with the near-stationery
speed and teenage-boy sullenness of their service. One day there no doubt will
be a mob uprising when everyone suddenly notices they've been waiting two weeks
for their pint, but until then we keep coming back because everything else is
so great. The roof terrace is awesome, the nooks cosy, the events perfectly
chosen, and you can hire sections out for your party (it will be a great
party).The food is spot-on, and the £5 lunchtime menu for a really good meal
with a drink is the best deal in the area.
