Coopers Carvery / The Culverhouse in Cardiff

Great stop food was good well worth the money

Had a lovely carvery last night, great value. Unlimited veg. Options for vegans and vegetarians. Very reasonable prices. Pub was clean and staff were super friendly and helpful, especially Jake who served us. Will be back again 🙂

Tash was amazing. Great talkative customer service with a smile ☺️

The staff could have been more attentive. We were waiting for a while by the carvery and staff saw us stood there....a quick polite.. 'we'll be with you in a minute' and 'sorry to keep you waiting' would have been nice. Potatoes were sadly hard in the middle and not cooked through. Was also waiting for gravy to come out which unfortunately meant our food was getting cold whilst we waited.

After a busy week, nice pít stop to study and grab something to eat. Cheese Burger and chips did the job with an Amstel.

Great atmosphere at the rock & roll bingo on friday night plus a lovely meal beforehand really good night with friends. mark & the team were all very welcoming & friendly will definitely be back

Absolutely wonderful atmosphere made even better by the brilliantly friendly, professional, polite and helpful staff. The food was DELICIOUS, fantastic value for money. Natasha was a delight, thank you

Great carvery, nice atmosphere and nice location

Food is beautifully cooked, huge yorkshire pudding thick dark gravy and roaster to die for..

One staff member serving had to wait twenty minutes to get served ridiculous not the staff members fault down to bad management

Poor girl e has been stuck om the bar for half an hour whilst rhe guy has been sorting glasses no excuse. Que for the bar is 10 people long.

Lovely friendly staff. They treated you like a friend even though I'd never met them before. Guy behind the bar was lovely also the lady couldn't do enough for us. Think her name was tasha. Went above and beyond. My first time and won't be my last. Lovely place.

Excellent service, food was amazing! The carvery was spot on!

Worst £80 ever spent. Go for a carvery the main thing you pay for is the meat,slithers were cut not full piece could see through them. Yorkshire's were stale and tasteless, veg was hard. Tried to save it by ordering dessert 6.50 for a slice of cake then wanted £1 for 1 squirt of cream from a can thats £1 each for cream for each plate. Go to the cedar tree where the food is outstanding and the dessert is not a rip off. I was embarrassed to have brought family here. It's the worst meal out any of us have ever had. I'm baffled how it has any good reviews.

Another lovely visit, we all had Sunday lunch carvery was delicious. OMG the Yorkshire puddings were massive, roast potatoes, so tasty. And really tasty gravy. Friendly staff. Spotlessly clean.

Come here every week with my 90 year old grandfather and the staff are amazing with him and humour him especially Jayke. Lovely pub

There was apparently an issue with the ticket machine. We placed two separate orders, one order with 2 pints of pepsi max and one order with 1 pint of pepsi max. After 4min the first pepsi max came out and then that was it. We then waited another 25min, food came out and we asked about the other drinks, they said they'd go check. After another 5min we still hadn't heard anything so I got up and went to speak with a member of staff that informed me they had no tickets for it. So we showed our email receipts. Then they came out with one more pepsi max meaning we were still missing one and I had to explain again, it was three of us so yes we had ordered three drinks. Now to the food. I ordered the 8oz steak. It came very dry (I had it medium rare) it was very flavourless and peas were almost shrivelled up so they'd been sitting for a while. My friend had the hunters chicken and had to leave a good chunk of the chicken cause it was dry as a bone. Not a good experience at all and will take a while for us to go back there.

I have become a regular at this place for a while now.i love the food here and the staff are amazing! Big shout out to Jake and Gareth as they are so lovely. Always look forward to coming here.

Don't go here if you want an edible meal and decent service would put zero stars but won't let me post

Elwen the bar lady awesome service. Thank you .

We had a bad time when a drunk person puked as we were about to eat they did not offer to move us as they cleaned up. The place has gone down hill and they are very mean with their meat portions to. We havent been back since.

Firstly we were served by a lad that started to serve someone else half way through sorting my order, ended up asking for the rest of my drinks, I then ordered two dinners and stood waiting knocked on the kitchen door as there was no one serving, I was told by a young lady he was on his way, still stood there, he still didn't come, I made a joke to my husband about self service, she jump down my throat telling me he was on his way and I'd only been waiting for 39 seconds, I was in my way to get a refund when the chef came out, apparently he was on his break, so don't book a table 2.30pm!!! Tbh the chef needs to learn how to cook everything was dry the roasts were rock hard and the gravy was like coloured water!!!!!! Won't be going back!!! As we can our not one member of staff was behind the bar and there were people waiting. The manager didn't do anything about it just carried on cleaning tables as that's all she seemed to do. Staff need some training

Easily booked online, plenty of parking spaces, seen quickly on arrival and seated. Table was cleaned for us and drinks order taken. Got our food swiftly with no issues at all. There was a good choice and all were fresh. Prompt service on paying bill. Would definitely eat here again

Lovely food dad really likes the Sunday roast highly recommend

Top food at a good price. Very friendly staff, especially Tasha behind the bar

Went to coopers carvery tonight, excellent food, great location, fabulous decor,Jake and Gareth were exceptional hosts,went above and beyond in making sure our party were well attended to,would definitely recommend this enticing carvery, and will be attending again very soon

Had a lovely meal in coopers caver today. Tasha was fab and couldn’t help enough. Dog friendly in the bar area also which is ideal. Thank you!

We live in brecon and always stop here for lunch when visting Cardiff. My wife loves the carvery I love the 6oz premium Welsh beefburger, probably one of the best burgers I'd had. Not anymore it's not on the menu and the double " Cowboy " burger I had is the worst burger I've ever tasted. Both thin burgers were burnt/over cooked and nothing like the presentation it used to be. Has it changed owners? It used to be hard to find a car parking space or table, even mid-week but it was almost empty today 09.07.2024 and only 5 cars in the carpark at 13.30! We won't be going back and it looks like we're not the first.

I am reviewing the carvery and would like to say I was happy with the food. It was fresh and tastes better than a lot of carvery that I have been to. I was served by Karl and he did have it waiting for me as I phoned first to make sure it was not closed. Thank you.

Ladies toilets in urgent need of repair . Lock broken in one stall . Toilet seat loose in another . Been like that for weeks.

Went 4a carvery and it was cold and roasties all burnt and hard. Wouldnt go there again.

Popped in with the family and we were more than delighted with our experience. Our server, Elwen, provided perfect service full of conversation, banter and amazing recommendations. Our meals had us practically waddling while leaving, the food was just too good. Especially the turkey. The chocolate fudge cake was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend, will definitely be back again!!!

Just had a wonderful carvery for lunch with my husband. Service was absolutely friendly and welcoming. Food was lovely and everything was nice and clean including bathrooms. I loved how nice and sun you it was as well as how large the are was to allow for a bit of quiet.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, good hot food

Midday Friday went for a carvery. Slow service from staff at the Bar and Meat Station - despite only a handful of customers. Yorkshire Puds cold, stuffing inedible (tough as leather, spat out) Roasties HEAVY on the pepper, carrots still had skin on and barely cooked. Don't eat here, choose elsewhere!

No Ice for cold drinks, no cider, brought starters and mains at the same 😉 they did apologise but when the food came back it was just warm, obviously was just left to warm . Carvery vegetables were not very warm and the Yorkshire pudding was rock hard. We mentioned to the waiter about the veg etc not being very warm but had no acknowledgment from him what so ever, you would expect at least I’m sorry about that. We have been coming here for years but after today’s experience will not be returning. Final thing it mentioned that you scan the qr code and order from the table, when doing that it actually tells you to order from the bar , extremely confusing,

Ive always loved coopers carvery, the foods always been great its a great atmosphere and the staff are really friendly and polite tasha and Charlotte were very helpful bringing drinks to our table and doing much as they could for us...id like to say this place is wheelchair friendly and they go above and beyond to help you thank-you and we'll all be back soon

All I have to say is you have 2 absolute assets to your company they go by the names of Tasha & Carys. The service I received was untouchable to any other organisation in a similar category, I've ever been to. Both ladies who I encountered were exceptionally polite and helpful. I asked about allergens and my daughters tolerances and both were so educated on the matter I was quite taken back. The training you guys must put your staff through must be very intense as both girls knowledge really did stand out to my family and I which ultimately prompted this review. Very impressed by your staff members (Tasha & Carys) at Coopers Cavery, Cowbridge road Cardiff. Thank you, will definitely be returning.

Hi all I went to coopers carvery yesterday and must say the food was lovely the beef was divine and at a fair price, the staff were real friendly and helpful, tasha a member of staff there was real helpful and so thoughtful i really enjoyed our time spent there we will be back

Another good carvery meal here...excellent beef and turkey on offer with more vegetable dishes in offer. Very friendly staff .

If you want good food in a nice relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff, it would be hard to beat.

Lovely carvery will definitely be back really friendly staff

great service by Mark, Tasha, and Charlotte great carvery , lovely thick slices of beef had a great time

We love coming here, friendly, good prices, clean and tidy, fresh food too.

Had Sunday lunch today from the carvery. Really lovely. Tasty and hot. I'm glad to see Coopers bustling again. Staff were great.

Excellent staff, always there to help

Disgusted. Most of the staff are rude and the food isnt always the best. I have also witnessed rats outside in the car park. Id never eat there again

My family had a lovely dinner at Cooper's Carvery last Friday. We've been to a few carveries, but this one stands out for its incredibly friendly staff. The carvery was hot and full of flavour, and the ice cream sundaes for dessert were delicious. I’ll definitely be back with the family, and I’ll bring friends along too.

We visited the restaurant on Tuesday 14th May at 6.15pm. The food offered was extremely poor. Literally bits of ham, turkey was acceptable, but also end of the beef (bits) unfortunately it was tough. We couldn't believe the poor choice and quality of vegetables. It was evident the food was left over from lunch. We have in the past been very impressed with Cooper's, but left the venue feeling disappointed and very hungry

I love going to cooper's carvery the staff were lovely friendly and helpful and efficient, they were working there bootie off as it was getting full, Thank you guys for a lovely lunch excellent food there.

Very nice Sunday Lunch here today. Tasty tender meat. Nice Gravy. Good selection of veg, nicely cooked and presented. Sticky Toffee pudd and coffee good too. Good service, pleasant surroundings. Best carvery I've been to in a while.

Great atmosphere and really welcoming staff, especially Tasha was wonderful, bubbly and very friendly, she made our day. Dog friendly in the bar aswell, everything was clean and tidy even do bingo and quiz nights.

Amazing time thanks great beer garden fabulous food 😋

Always a great time at Cooper’s Carvery - staff are incredible (Mark especially!) and always go out of their way to make our visits memorable. We will patron for as long as they will have us!

Fantastic location and great food and beer with a very warn welcome. Tasha was wonderful and really looked after us, nothing was to much trouble for her. Dog friendly and really clean and warm.

As always a lovely meal out with the family, made better by the service of a young woman called charlotte who went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with everything.

Came in last week, had a cowboy burger it was great service from Tasha, she was absolutely incredible, she is a credit to your establishment

Didn't eat as carvery looked dey amd inedible

Lovely service Food perfect Staff very helpful and polite

Massive thanks for Tasha she was such a great server!! She deserves the recognition as she is an absolute treasure at this establishment. 10 stars for Tasha!

Want to say a huge thank you for the amazing service from Tasha at coopers today! Tasha created such a positive and uplifting atmosphere , it was lovely to have such good customer service! What a credit to coopers! It’s not often you come across people like this in the industry , thank you for a lovely afternoon Tasha!!

Perfect Sunday lunch with friends good food good company & great service from the staff especially Pav who looked after us

Not a terrible price for a carvery. However, all over the board - kind of mid. Was lacking in some serious areas (eg no sprouts, pigs in blankets, small portion of meat and stuffing). None of the food was hot, it was all pretty tepid and would have definitely benefited from some extra heat. The roast potatoes - which are usually a high point of any roast for me, we're pretty average. Can't complain too much because of the price but I would rather pay a bit extra at a better place to have an overall better experience.

Great place. Food is delicious and staff are always very welcoming. Never had a bad experience. Would recommend hightly

It was my son’s 15th when we visited. Food was lovely as always. And it’s very warm and friendly there.

Very nice experience, very good food and friendly personal! We enjoy a lot

Lovely place great food. Loads of seating and the 1st of January no waiting for me and the girlfriend and the baby .

Roast potatoes very hard, turkey dry, gammon salty, otherwise ok.

Lovely food, friendly staff. Clean & comfortable. Really nice clean toilets & they smell fabulous

Where was the meat? Place was nice inside - clean and spacious. And staff were great - friendly and helpful. Veg good too but where was the meat? In all our years of eating in carveries this was by far the stingiest serving. Two VERY small slices of beef and cut so thin you could practically see through them. From what my husband had and what I could see from other people being served, this was a standard helping. Very disappointing and spoilt what otherwise would have been a lovely meal.

Beautiful well cooked meat and very friendly staff

We had absolutely appalling service from some of the rudest people I've ever come across. I ordered & paid for 3 meals only 2 arrived. When I complained the manager surpassed the servers in ignorance. It seems my meal didn't turn up because, there are 2 chefs, it's a carvery and not a restaurant, and there were other people on my table that paid separate bills?? So this meant my meal didn't turn up until every one else had finished and it was my fault? ..... oh one of the servers turned up with an extra meal, and shouted at us because of their mistake! I ate a small amount of my meal, but was so embarrassed to be eating when every one else had finished so I stopped eating. The manager doesn't actually speak English, but the gist of what he was saying is his manager said hard lines, no refund - tough luck. This is the worse place to eat, the food is mediocre at best and the service was appalling. The manager is an arrogant moron! We had a different server given to us at the end, she was fantastic, she was the only saving grace of a pit of a carvery ..... because its not a restaurant, the manager told us its not a restaurant. DO NOT EAT HERE, they ruined my mother's 90th birthday meal. **Edit, look at the managers note. If you pay for 3 meals on one bill they cannot guarantee the meals will arrive at the same time. Please read the managers note it shows how little coopers care

Love eating here. Staff are always really friendly and helpful, carvery is really fresh and tasty and really nice atmosphere. My favourite carvery of choice and so easy to bring my disabled mum here as parking and access is really easy.

Very nice food and staff was friendly too

Great food nice venue very clean and great great service , special mention to Tasha will definitely come back

Lovely Sunday dinner, even on a Tuesday!!😊

Great food, lovely atmosphere too.

Another great visit to coopers to meet with a friend food as always good staff pleasant / friendly we love coming here always enjoy the food & staff pleasant looking forward to the rock & roll bingo starting up again

Having eaten at many restaurants and carveries, decided to give this place a try, initially because everywhere was booked. This place did not disappoint. Seriously tasty food and generous portions. The mashed potato was the best I've tasted and the toasties were superb. The service was fast and the food hot. In addition, food can be ordered via an app at the table. I will be back there again - for sure!

Foods good for a carvery deputy manger and staff very welcoming / friendly place to ear talk and have drink

Tasha great bar.maid friendly chatty.we.come.100 mile.to have a good.time

Couldn’t be more delighted with the service received on our visit to the Coopers carvery. We were there as a large group to celebrate a belated Mother’s Day and I have to say Jake the manager went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Highly recommend! Thank you Jake for helping to make this the special occasion it was xx

Barely any meat regular carvery £12.50 person disgusting price and was very bland not worth it wouldn’t recommend going here and considering it was mother day everything should have perfect but really wasn’t

Delicious carvery. What was a very busy lunchtime being Mother’s Day. The food was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful. Really good experience. Have been a few times in the last few weeks and always had a good experience. Thank you very much appreciated!

What an amazing place! We haven't been here before, and we will definitely come back here from Swansea. The food was absolutely fantastic, welcoming place and very tidy. Best service ever-provided by Manager Paw and the whole staff. It was superb. Our new favourite place! Thank you! We're coming back next weekend :)

Amazing place, delicious food, great staff. You feel like at home. I am definitely coming back. Ps. You should open a place in Swansea

Amazing staff, very kind and welcoming and always a pleasure to come back here. Thanks to Charlotte, Jake and Cary’s xxx

Jake, Charlotte & Carys what a lovely team you make . Pleasant polite with an upbeat customer service . 5⭐️. Thank you xxx

What amazing time we had. We loved the food and the barman Jayke was do welcoming and had us in stitches with his jokes! Certainly recommend.

Came in for lunch and was served and looked after by the duty manager Jake had the pie deal as didnt know until Jake mentioned and worth every penny I'll be back soon.

£7 for a glass of wine.....expensive as hell

Went to coopers today for a quick spot of lunch, We was greeted as we arrived felt very welcomingly, Served by Charlotte. We was served the cavery by the chef Nemo who was very polite as he served the food and the food was cooked and presented very nicely. Overall Lovely Experience would definitely recommend.

First visit, lovely food great choice of meat and vegetables. Lovely friendly staff.

Had a wonderful carvery wow value is outstanding hot great portion size. Staff and manager Mark was awesome the gent that serves me pawel was nice he's in training so friendly. Recomanyone to try it

I was disappointed with the carvery this visit. There was.much less choice of veg and the meal was warm not hot. I've been many times before but will think twice about going again

Good food and good service prices reasonable

Staff were warm and welcoming as we came through the door, décor is nice and refreshing. We were originally looking to have a carvery meal but then looked at the menu as we had a fussy eater with us. The carvery was well presented with a selection of three meats and fresh vegetables plus nice sized Yorkshire puddings. Our fussy eater didn't like what was on the main menu but did like the look of the Hot Dog they did on Burger Night. We ask the manager (Mark ) if it was possible to order this and he was very accommodating. The food arrived and all look well presentable, we were ask if there was anything else we required. We were asked the obligatory question 5 minutes into the meal "Is everything ok ?". Once we had finished lunch we sat and talked and the member of staff asked if it was ok for them to remove the plates and did we need anything else such as dessert, coffee or even more drinks. I thought this was a nice touch as it was getting busier and I have been in some places where you have to clean the table yourself just to sit down. All in all a very nice warm welcoming pub who seem to take pleasure on the little things as well as the main job.

The service and staff were fantastic. We took our family plus two young autistic children. Jake in particular was outstanding. Nothing was a problem and he gave us a really nice quiet section to sit. Food was great.

If I could give a 0 I would. Awful place after booking a table arrived to an empty restaurant nobody to greet us then there was no coke on tap only cans! The member of staff then made us move to a table that was awful to then seat a walk in couple in the seats we were in awful avoid at all costs!
