Company info

Steve Anderson is the proprietor; he hails not from Caerphilly , nor Wales! Steve is a 'Scotsman' without an accent! Steve has lived abroad extensively, with a serviceman's background, and having taught history (amongst other things) in Kenya, Kuwait, Peru and Dubai. Steve describes himself as cheerful, fair, reasonable, pragmatic (no nonsense / no frills), helpful, honest and hard-working. I chose this vocation as it allows me to meet and interact with people from all walks of life and countries. I like a cosmopolitan atmosphere, and get a thrill from hosting people here for special events i.e. rugby internationals, Big Cheese, and concerts which take place in Caerphilly Castle and Cardiff.
