Cider Festival in pretentious Arts Centre

That most pretentious of Cardiff bars, Chapter Arts Centre in Canton, will be holding a cider festival over the next few days. Based in a former school and just recovering from a major refit, Chapter still offers the most uncomfortable seating in the City, expensive prices and food served by "Staff who look like they are on day release from an open prison", as a friend of mine recently described them. We were going to eat there but the constant scratching and sweating of the catering staff put us off so we went for a very enjoyable meal in the Mochyn Ddu instead. So expect some good ciders and perries from the Welsh Perry and Cider Society at Chapter and try and find a comfortable seat, I've never found one in all the years I've been going there.
