Lively local pub in the centre of Canton. It's very popular with Cardiff City fans, so expect it to be busy on match days. We visited on Sunday of the bank holiday weekend. There was karaoke on and the pub was very full. Good atmosphere and welcoming staff. Be aware this pub accepts cash only.

This pub does a fantastic traditional Sunday lunch. The food is excellent, the service is great, we loved the 80s music (at the perfect volume) and the proprietors are warm and friendly. They even welcomed my friend’s guide dog. All of this for £8-£9! Really recommend this place for a gathering of friends or family.

Well what can I say! I been trying to get over to the Canton cross everytime the goat curry week is on and never had chance but I managed to get over this week! Not once but twice in consecutive days because it's that good. Everything on the plate is mouthwatering and so tasty. The goat meat is so tender and the curry is so tasty with the coleslaw rice and salad. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I sure will be back when it's on again. Always as is the norm too with Brian and Tracey they are so welcoming and pleased to see you. It's a 10/10 for me 👌 Thank you all X

Visited on a Sunday and had a blast. Unbeknown to us it was karaoke night and the hosts were brilliant, professional and witty. The lager and cider which we sampled was spot on, no complaints. Crisp and well priced. This pub is full of characters, which is a breath of fresh air these days. You can walk in on your own and yet won’t stop chatting all night long. Great stuff.

What a pub! I’m here now. £1 for a pool, I’m the winner. Karaoke on request - LeAnne Rimes of course - great prices, great atmosphere. I’ll be back to cardiff in September. Can’t wait to see Jo & Paul again!! Cross the road and you’re paying £5.80 for the same service. If you want a pint at home, away from home, then come here. Great old school pub!

Although we used to frequent Brian's pub, we're never eaten there but had heard from a few sources that the food there was very good - especially his Sunday lunches. Although the Sunday roast wasn't a choice today, 6 of us ate from their daily specials menu. All of our meals were lovely, we had great service and the prices there are so very reasonable. We would definitely recommend and will most definitely eat there again! Thank you Brian and the young lady who served us!

Sunday lunch with my son and 2 grandchildren. We were warmly greeted by the landlord. There was a choice of 4 roast meats, chicken, pork, beef and lamb. We ordered beef and lamb. Food was all freshly cooked and delicious. We managed to find room for dessert. Chocolate fudge cake, sticky toffee pudding and apple pie with custard. This is a wonderful family run pub serving excellent food. Very welcoming. I will definitely be back. And I was 2 days later. Lunch with my sister-in-law. We were warmly greeted like family friends. We had cod and chips and scampi and chips, generous portions and real chips, delicious. Followed by bread and butter pudding, made that morning. As good as my mother's. If you like good home cooked food served in friendly surroundings then this is the place to come.

Great pre match place. With good drinks some decent cheap food. 2 for £9 etc 2 mixed grills we had for £12. Not top quality meat but excellent for money. And plenty of it. Gets busy on match days and we only just scraped a table coz only 2 of us were eating so got there a bit earlier than other friend's. Brilliant for live sport also. And noticed the poker games on mondays which I would attend if lived closer.

We had our wedding at De Courcey’s in October 2024. From initial consultations to the day after our event, the staff were professional, friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. Anything we requested or suggested, Lewis, Lucy and the team worked their hardest to make it happen. They use their expertise and professionalism to advise us where necessary and we felt looked after every step of the way. You’re getting experience when you book with this venue. We can’t thank the team enough - you can tell it is a family run business. We look forward to joining you for Sunday lunches for years to come❤️

Best coffee in Cardiff just wish the atmosphere was nicer. Inside is small, outside you have the ugly view of St Marys Street and the Warhammer shop lol. Still 5* because the coffee is miles miles miles better than literally anywhere else in Cardiff. Very big avocado toast portion too 😋

Big Moose is, hands down, my favorite spot in Cardiff. After living abroad for 18 months, it was the first place I had to visit for lunch now that I’m back - and it’s just as good as I remember. The warm, wholesome vibes and brilliant atmosphere make it such a special place. Tucked away off Queen Street, it’s a true hidden gem. It often looks closed from the outside because there’s no sign, but that just adds to its charm—it really is one of Cardiff’s best-kept secrets. The limey avocado is to die for! I had the Big Moose Classic with a poached egg added—absolutely delicious. I also tried the Baileys hot chocolate from their Christmas drinks specials, and it was perfection. If you haven’t been yet, you’re seriously missing out!
