Thoroughly recommend this pub for food and nice drinks.Delicious food. All items were very well presented and tasty. Portion size was generous but not too much so that there would be waste. Food came out pretty quickly too.Selection of drinks was good. The cider on tap was delicious.Atmosphere is always great, proper old style pub with fireplaces and old style wooden accents.Service is efficient and staff were very friendly.The price is a little higher than other pubs, but everything is of good quality.

Lovely rooms, this stay we were at the rear of the hotel, which was much quieter than our previous visit but no view, our room that time was at the front, much noisier but looked out over the high street. My one tip would be to request a bath mat for inside the bath - I slipped and fell getting into the bath. All the staff we encountered were lovely and really helpful if asked anything.

Recently returned from a 2 night stay. Staff very friendly and approachable, and unlike some hotels which are above pubs, you don't feel intimidated walking in, even on a busy Friday night. The nature of the building means that wheelchair users may have difficulty negotiating the pub itself and the hotel currently can't accommodate wheelchair users. Breakfast both mornings were filling. Be aware that breakfast is cooked to order so this hotel is unlikely to suit business travellers, but as I stayed as a leisure traveller I was absolutely fine with this. Would stay again if in the area for leisure.

This is such a great pub to visit in Cardiff. It’s also next level in its entertainment offerings. Christopher Hughes, the manager, greets everyone in a friendly and open manner. He approached me for feedback, wanting to ensure he offered the best customer service. I noticed he brought creativity and passion to events as a manager that you never see elsewhere! He made everyone feel cheery and well looked after with his friendliness, professionalism and a big warm smile. Definitely worth a visit for the food and atmosphere, but further enjoyment is served abundance by the fun entertainment and energy of Christopher!

We were seated so close to the stair way that people coming up and down the stairs was a constant distraction, and cold, they should certainly consider the seating arrangement within the venue. Large choice of food which in itself is a concern, with regard how much must be frozen. We didn't order a starter, but ordered mains of 2 Mixed Grills, 1 Chicken and Mushroom pie, and 1 fish & Chips. The 2 who ordered the mixed grills left the majority of their food as not only was the food lukewarm, but the pork was so fatty that they couldn't eat it, the lamb chop was cold and over cooked as was the steak, chips were cold as was the mushroom. With regard to the chicken pie, again this was served lukewarm and the pie was so garlicy that it couldn't be eaten so this was not eaten either. After the staff had deposited the food on the table no one came over to ask if everything was okay, and when they came over at the end and asked if we had finished we said yes, they then asked if everything was okay, I'm assuming that this was because on the significant amount of food left on 3 of the 4 plates. We said about the food expecting them to say they would get someone over, but no one came and we were presented with the bill. Maybe an off day for chef but we will not be back I'm afraid

As a solo traveller I experience different attitudes. Unfortunately although very politely treated, the 'care' was missing here. Also, the steak I ordered was tough and very chewy. I left most of it on the plate and although the waitress commented on it and said she'd speak to the chef, no alternative or refund was forthcoming. I do eat out a lot and for the most have a positive experience - not this time!

My friends and I popped in during the week for some drinks and food. A young man greeted us and looked after us during our time there. His name was Ben. He gave us all the information we needed as one of my friends has an allergy and his knowledge was outstanding so we had nothing to worry about. The food was immaculate and we will definitely be coming back. Thank you for looking after us!

Came in during the week after finding out that they were dog friendly! Young man called Ben spotted we had a dog when we arrived and gave us a bowl of water and some goodies. He was so friendly and make a fuss with our dog. We also had some food and drinks and it was beautiful. We will be returning ! Thank you!

Food was excellent. Unfortunately they were very understaffed and after delivering the mains we didn't see anyone else. No offer of fresh drinks or deserts. Asked for the bill, waited 20minutes and started to leave. Waitress saw us and said she would fetch the manager. Waited another 10 minutes and left.

Ate here last Saturday, with a special friend who was visiting.We ordered a Curry, and 2 Mixed grills. We were told there were no Mixed Grills- At 5.45 on a Saturday! So we ordered 2 Sirloins instead - and were told there was only 1 Sirloin, so ordered 1 gammon to go with it - lo and behold we were then told The Sirloin was gone!!. After finally managing to order 3 meals, we asked the waitress to light the candle on our table - she just walked off. We asked another member to light it - and He also walked off. Finally a 3rd member lit it.Our meals finally arrived, and I asked for another drink - I didnt see the waitress again - and had to ask her, 20 mins later for my drink.After our meals, the waitress took our plates, without any offer of desserts. We sat waiting for 20 mins, then having to ask somebody for a dessert menu.I ordered Sticky Toffee Pudding, only to be horrified to find what I would describe as a 'piece of wood' approx 10mm long in it.The waiter tried to explain it was a piece of Walnut!! Well I've never nearly broken my teeth on a piece of Walnut before.While our mains, were quite decent, I must say the service we received was diabolical, and it really spoiled what we hoped would be a special evening. Terrible
