1st visit here and we had a table for 7 adults and 2 small children, one sat in the provided high chair. The services was top draw...fresh drinking water was provided the three course Sunday lunch was served immaculately and the food was outstanding. Our various drinks also lived up to the occasion especially the wine and gin. We are all returning again for a Mother's Day meal and some if us will try this place in the evening when we can sit out in the beer garden, weather permitting. A Must place to visit.

Visited with colleagues. Had a small lounge room reserved with was very stylish and comfortable. If there’s a gin made which isn’t stocked here I’d be genuinely shocked - superb! Great service from the staff too. Highly recommended and will look to come back in future.

I’ve always enjoyed this place to have a drink and a catch up with friends. The team are all lovely and there is a chilled vibe. ||This time we wanted to try the new small plates menu. The dishes are fantastic, high quality and great presentation. I recommend you book a table soon. 2-3 dishes per person js perfect.

Rooms were lovely, staff friendly and welcoming, shower came with a free massage ☺️, would definitely stay again, great for the price. Only draw back was that it said on the booking that there was onsite parking, there is on street parking easy enough, also the toilet roll holder was rust and coming away from the wall, but for the price it was fab.

Fantastic afternoon/evening had at CFEleven. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, the drinks were lush (candy floss gin is a must try!) & The food was delicious. The whole event was organised to such a high standard. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves (and a few too many gins!) Thank you!

Nice looking place, modern, nice lighting and tables laid nicely. Staff were lovely and friendly. Sadly not much to offer on the menu for vegans but it mainly caters for vegetarian (which is absolutely fine). Ordered a number of dishes with some ingredients removed so I could eat them. Sadly we were very disappointed as dishes were so salty we could not eat them and returned the food back to the kitchen. If they change the menu in the future and lay off on the salt I will happily give it another go!

Sunday lunch walk in 21 Aug 22.My wife and I visited at short notice due to a friends recommendation, well we were not disappointed!The front of house staff were very welcoming and we were never rushed, as for the bar staff the lovely server really knew his stuff. The food was excellent, perfect roasties and succulent meats served on a bed of root puree, big crisp yorkies, and perfectly cooked veg including brocoli, haricot vert and superb aromatic braised red cabbage.The gravy was reminiscent of a good demi glace, look I could go on but as a Chef for a fine dining caterer this is one of THE best Sunday indulgences you will find in Cardiff, Thank-you to the whole team, especially chef(s) you know who you are!

Lovely welcoming friendly staff, location good for Principally Stadium approx 25 minutes walk. Lovely local pub 5/10 minutes in opposite direction to stadium with a little parade of shops. Price was £220 for night because Ed Sheeran was playing (still one of the cheapest available I get why everyone does it) if we'd stayed on a normal priced night it would probably have been four stars, but for the money the bathroom is requiring a little tlc. All nice and clean just worn out.
