The landlord has to be the nicest, friendly and most accommodating landlord of any pub in Cardiff. I'd come here just for the service alone.

We were a large party. Two of the meals were sent back as they were inedible! 18£ waisted. After telling staff that the chicken was like rubber and I would like a refund, twice! Nothing was done. I live locally and use this place for all family bdays etc, very disappointed in our experience there were 12 of us and they made a lot of money! The least the manager could of done is apologise but no apology from anyone and No Refund!!!!! BAD Service

I wouldn’t work here if i was you, will fire you without notice and leave you financially out of pocket, Not very nice of them. Don’t speak to you very nice either, very agressive on times. will take my business elsewhere Reply from their reply- It was actually 4 times, which i do have stomuch problems i could have medically have shown you. so i see your point but you gave me no notice whatsoever, the “advice” you gave me was shocking, to let a boy who doesn’t have a clue try and tell me what to do. I am expecting my full pay for what i did and when it comes to lateness, im sure that was 2 occasions; but i do also recall your other staff being late often. Seems to be just me you had an issue with though. Left me financially out of pocket and you don’t seem to care. I will happily take to social media to make others aware of your horrendous company policies and ethics thought you guys were better than this.

Great local, that I always visit when in the area. However, we were disappointed on Sunday 2/7/23 as I called in the morning to check food service times, and was told they were serving until 9.00 pm. We arrived hungry at around 7.00 pm, to be told that the kitchen was shut! Disappointing to say the least, and not the usual good service we've come to expect.

Lovely village pub, good atmosphere & friendly, helpful staff. We had Katsu chicken with rice, really delicious. Only complaint being that most desserts came with vegetarian or vegan toppings no real custard. Therefore the reason I only gave 5 stars for the food.

First time I visited this pub and never again. I drink Stella and when I went in for my second pint the bar lady advised me that she had no Stella glasses left. I offered her to use my previous Stella glass, but I was told abruptly that this was not allowed due to covid restrictions date today when I visited this pub was 14/06/2023 (I WOULD SAY IT WAS DUE TO NOBODY COLLECTING THE 100 EMPTY GLASSES LEFT ON TABLES OUTSIDE, WHICH WAS THE REAL REASON THERE WERE NO STELLA GLASSES IN THE BAR) but they allowed glasses to be taken out in to the beer garden instead of plastics. The Bar staff were very rude and over all no customer service, and they didn't really look happy in their jobs. For a pub in a well off area of Cardiff, it's very poor and not very welcoming at all. You would get better service and more friendly staff in the local weatherspoons down the road for half the price. Never again I would also like to state the atmosphere in and outside the pub is very intimidating and not somewhere you would go on either a date or a family occasion. Definitely not a place I would want to take my children.

Popped in for a quick drink recently having never been here before. Looks like a nice, traditional oldie worldie pub from the outside. There is parking onsite and an outdoor seating area. It was late on a Friday afternoon and it was pretty busy - but nice busy rather than packed. The inside matched the traditional pub look and I liked the atmosphere. The customers and staff were friendly and they had a good range of drinks including Magners which is what I opted for. Would visit again 👍

A classy nice bar in Llanishen. Very spacious with a large outdoor area. The indoors are spacious as well. It’s a crowded place, especially during games and weekend nights. They have burgers + drink option starting at 7£, which is a good deal. Have read other reviews about their good customer service - which I couldn’t notice much probably because it was too crowded at the bar. It was an amazing experience, however, despite the crowd. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ambience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ customer service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ drinks menu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ value for money Verdict: the go-to pub during Llanishen visit

Local friendly pub. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Typical pub food menu. Slow to bringing food out. Plant based burger was burnt. They served food on paper but once the paper got moist it tore and broke up with the food. I would recommend removing the paper if possible before eating. Other wise it was OK.

Not impressed at all. We booked a table as we wanted food on a Friday night. Walked in on time and asked for our table. The man at the bar looked very confused, he pointed to a table with 4 people already sitting at it at told us we needed to tell them to move. Thankfully they had heard and moved without us asking. When we went to the bar to order our drinks we were told there was a 45 minute wait on food. We went back to order food and were told no we couldn't order food for another 45 minutes. We left soon after this. Very confused why you can book a table and specify it is for food when this option does not seem to be available

I'm not somebody to moan or a cheap skate. I went wenseday March 24.myself and brother. Ordered food from the match day menu so we decided to have cowboy burgers £12.50p each. 2 pints of Pepsi max£4.00each total £41.00.i felt we were ripped off. Because the reason we want there was to near the ground.its only £10to park at the stadium. And there's a McDonald's a kfc nandos. I was taken for a mug..the size of the burgers was nothing like I tasted at macs and I don't like going to these places.
