| After a visit to the recently re-opened Blacksmith's Arms at Llanfaes, I moved onto the Boverton Castle. This pub is situated just outside the small town of Llantwit Major and overlooks the castle itself. It is a traditional 2 room pub, with modern rooms. I chose to sit in the busier bar, where locals were watching the Olympics on two televisions. They were welcoming and even asked me what I wanted to watch on the TV. The ale choice was a little underwhelming though, with Old Speckled Hen, Rev James & Landlord being the 3 ales. I guess I'm just too spoilt! The pork roll I had was nice though. blue_scrumpy - 22 Aug 2016 20:17 |
| A lot has happened to this pub since Frank was the landlord. It was refurbished a couple of years ago and now serves food. There are three real ales available, two guests & Doombar! Worth a visit but I would say that I'm a local. JEWK - 2 Oct 2012 22:18 |
| I'm sorry to hear of Frank's death, fine old Landlord and one seriously good chef. Now, spare a thought(pity)for anyone who thinks they can break the rules now Jan is a Civil Servant and holding the pen ! One of the very best Landladies I ever met. Best wishes to her and I'm sure the Bovvy is no longer the super pub it was. Biker - 7 Dec 2006 08:56 |
| Sadly, Frank died of lung cancer about two years ago but Jan's still alive and kicking. Out of pubs now, working as a civil servant (Home Office) would you believe!!!! Sketchy - 5 Dec 2006 16:44 |
| My family ran this pub for 16 years, until 1996. Sadly it hasn't has a major refurbishment since 1987 and is now looking quite shabby. On my last visit (2005) it was a battle to negotiate my way around the gaming machines and pool tables that have been placed in the bar. Beer was okay but I haven't tried the food. Quite a large "pondlife" contingent congregating there now too. Long gone the days of Round Table, Lions Club Rotary, Probus & "41" Club meets/functions. Sketchy - 17 Nov 2006 11:26 |
