Ffynnon Wen in Cardiff

Great burger choices and grills are excellent

Quick drink after funeral, not bizzy but took a time for service, ale wasn't on so had to choose different one and that was playing up aswel

Went to the south Wales Land Rover club meeting and friendly staff highly recommended...

Michelle served us very attentively

Helen was absolutely amazing, anything we wanted she tried her best to get it for us, an absolute star!!

☆☆☆☆☆ Great service as always. Particularly from Susan, Helen & Billie. Always a great atmosphere and really lovely staff and management.

We just returned from a family meal for our daughters birthday. The lady who looked after us was lovely.( sorry i forgot your name ) Everyone had a lush time as always.

Great evening here celebrating a friend’s birthday. Staff amazing, food tasty. Special shoutout to Alex his service was impeccable

Food was okay portions were abysmal. Slithers of cake and 1/8th of a sandwich for £20?? Rip off

Booked a table for 11 people to celebrate Mother’s Day. We weren't told when booking that it was a set menu. Waited nearly 2hrs for food to arrive which was disgusting and cold. This place should be ashamed of the food and service they provide.

We arrived early for our table so sat outside to enjoy the weather with a drink. The queue in the bar was about 5 deep and not moving as the same person covering the bar was trying to serve in the restaurant bar. Went to our table and had a long wait for service to order our food. We ordered our food and had been waiting approx half hour to be told they only had one fish so one of our party had to amend their order. Food arrived shorty after this and I was disappointed. I had ordered the ultimate veggie burger which was far from it, missing the bbq cauliflower wings and very over cooked. One of the party had order double up chips and portion did not to be this. The fish look delicious, as did the ribs another person had. The children’s big appetite chilli was an absolute joke of a portion. It was barely three spoonfuls, leaving my niece eating dry rice and nachos, and the chicken dippers on another child meal were very over done. On payment we advised after receiving the final bill we had the 30% off, which the server said we couldn’t use to split the bill. We didn’t want to split the bill and he seemed put out that we wanted to use the discount. The two younger staff were trying their best to cope when the pub was clearly understaffed. This was a family meal of 9 of us, after an emotional morning of scattering my mother in laws ashes to then enjoy a meal as a family at one of her favourite pubs. I was left very dissatisfied and unlikely to return or recommend the pub to others.

Brilliant service..Sunday lunch was the best ..Will be booking again ..great value for money

Relaxing atmosphere, quick service from friendly staff. Compe tative prices.

You’ll always get a friendly greeting by the fantastic staff who offer a lovely menu prepared by the kitchen staff. Trust me when I say you’ll have a fantastic meal here 🤩👍

Went for family meal excellent service from Helen would most definitely recommend to come for a visit

Welcoming and very friendly staff fantastic atmosphere

We are a weekly visitors to Ffynnon wen for both food and drink Marcus and his team never fail to deliver not only good service, drink and food and always make us feel welcome and we're always met with a smile and chat from Helen Alex , Nick, Chris Darren, and many others that I can't remember each and every member. So much so that weve come to think of this pub as home from home. Well done keep it up guys

Great atmosphere great service food was outstanding highly recommend

We chose the rump steak and the pie. Both really nice. Strak cooked as I requested.

I visited with 4 ladies ladies who lunch. I had Hunters chicken which was tasty. I think my friends enjoyed their meals. Unfortunately, there was a large funeral wake being hosted at the same time and it appeared the staff were completely overwhelmed. We waited AGES for drinks, especially those ordered to the table via the app and to order desserts etc. The table was not cleared and we felt rather neglected, having to nag all the time - we were continually overlooked. We appreciate that the business from wakes must be vital but there needs to be sufficient staff to manage. This is not a dig at the staff who waited on us - they were run off their feet.

The 1 star is for the lovely Irish server (apologies I didn’t get a chance to ask his name) who was very apologetic and kindly gave us a free round of drinks for our inconvenience. Table booked for 3:30pm, was told at 3:25 to wait in the bar and they would come and get us as soon as the table was ready. 3:45 and no one had been over to see us so I tried to gently remind the staff that we were still waiting, just in case they didn’t know whether we had arrived or not, and a female server was quite abrupt and not apologetic at all. At 4pm we were finally sat at our table. We ordered 3 courses each, and were told there would be a 30 min wait. We had considered going elsewhere, but because of the friendliness and generosity of the Irish, male server we decided to stay put. Starters arrived at 4:45ish, and the prawn cocktail, albeit nice enough, was literally just prawns on a bed of lettuce with a side of bread and butter - no other veg. However, by 6pm (baring in mind the table was booked for 3:30!!) we still had not had our main courses, so we decided to call it a day. Really disappointing, especially as we didn’t have particularly high hopes, but just wanted a run of the mill pub lunch to celebrate Mother’s Day. Again, I want to emphasise that the Irish server was really lovely and very apologetic. The same can’t be said for the other staff sadly.

Mothers day menu , lovely choice , took 90 mins to serve starters , then a futher 45 mins for main which when came was cold or luke warm , very poor , its as if they didnt know what they were doing

So very disappointed !! we have been to the Ffynon Wen for Christmas days and Mother’s Day numerous times over the years. Today our table was pre booked for 2pm for a 2 hour slot, however our starters did not arrive until 3pm and at 3.45pm our main meal still hadn’t arrived- we decided to speak to the Manager to inform her we are now leaving, she was very lovely and apologised she stated that she will wipe the bill and that our food was still on its way, so we decided to stay - our beef dinners turned up, the only thing hot was the carrots. Didn’t stay for pudding.

We had a lovely meal, chef Chris cooked a medium to rare steak to perfection, absolutely amazing, we couldn't fault it. Thank you Chris! All staff are so friendly and very happy to please. Who needs miller and carter with great food and great staff, thank you everyone , well certainly be back xx

Went today for mothers day waited 45 minutes for starter of soup, mushrooms and prawn cocktail then waited 30 minutes for mains had to send food back as cold and then food was not edible and not asked if we wanted a 2nd drink. Didn't bother with desserts. Shocking

Mothers day absolutely ruined Our table for 8 was booked for 2pm. Our starters arrived at 3.45. Main at 4.30.we cancelled desserts too long a wait. Food was cold four meals inedible garlic bread stale.a complete shambles. Servers lovely. Apologies and Bill was reduced but ruined the day.

The food was lovely, fresh and hot, the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. My only complaint would be that we waited for our food for over an hour. It was however busy, and we were a table of ten. The staff did keep us updated and I fully understand that it can't always be helped.

9 of us for a meal cost less than I expected nice cosy place

every thing was excellent the food and staff

Billie was really helpful when we turned up without a booking looking for somewhere accessible for my wife in her wheelchair today. Especially considering how busy the restaurant was. In deed all the staff we interacted with seemed very pleasant and helpful. First time in a few years we'd been there will definitely be back

We were there for a family members wake. Everyone commented on the very high quality of food as is was superb. Strongly recommend the Ffynnon Wen!

We were served by Billie today. She was lovely, checked we had everything we ordered.

A little disappointed in my experience this time - 2nd time booking the small function room for a family party in 6 month (used again as good experience the first time) This time booking rules had changed - deposit required, minimum number for Buffett and options had changed - but none of this expressed at time of booking (in person) Meant that a small family party cost more that £100 more than we planned and budgeted for Silver Buffett - didn’t seem as good quality as it did 6 months ago. Limited bar Alcohol and soft drinks!- because of a party previous night!

Lovely Sunday roast and great service.

Had a great time, shout out to Billy for making our visit so lovely! Will be back

Our visit for Sunday roast food was exceptional service from Billie the barmaid was excellent so welcoming and efficient very personal experience great to see the the old hospitality of public houses is still alive thanks to Billie was made to feel at home

Had an excellent family lunch - the food was great but the very friendly, attentive service from Irish Chris made it a highly memorable l. Thank you; looking forward to returning

Good spot for a family lunch. Broad range of food items and excellent service. Irish Chris was a delight and very helpful.

We had a wonderful meal here, our waitress Nicki was superb, so attentive and helpful

Great friendly staff. Lovely meal.

Great food great service always👍

The food was lovely it was very busy and the barman came over and asked if we had got our food, we said no and he sorted it out straight away. It was lovely and hot and well worth the wait. There was a christening going on so very busy.

Food great temperature was good and staff couldn't have done more

Always friendly, food amazing service from waturess Billie was amazing couldn't do enough definitely recommended quality reasonable price

We held our son's 18th birthday here. Great venue! Staff were so helpful and accommodating. Buffet was great. DJ fab. A great experience, would recommend!

Fish was dry and not very hot. ..

Irish Chris behind the bar was amazing...so helpful, nothing was too much trouble to our party xx

Ben is an excellent server, food was excellent

Good food staff are great especially Helen mort when ever we go too the bar she always has a smile on her face and always very helpful and friendly

Came for drinks and was served by Helen, she was really friendly and made us feel welcome in the pub. Brilliant service from Helen.

Booked table placed our order with the female server who was extremely friendly very helpful and quick. Food good sized portions and very hot. Billie our female server went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. I would definitely recommend a visit

We had a lovely time the food was great. Ben was a really good waiter he made our visit even better.

Went into the Ffynnon Wen for a drink. Ben on the bar was lovely and made us feel welcome.

Helen was a great waitress, Extremely helpful

Amazing meal! Thank you Ben great service

My family frequent this restaurant often and always enjoy the warm and welcoming location, quality food and friendly staff but I’m writing this review following a particularly wonderful experience last week. I currently have a newborn and was nervous going to a restaurant with a pram/crying baby etc for the first time. Our server Helen couldn’t have been more attentive and accommodating. She made us feel completely at ease. We will definitely be returning!

No trouble booking on line /Service excellent/ friendly staff/ All four diners thoroughly enjoyed their food! Super evening very happy!! Ben who served was exceptional!

Our server Ben was very amicable and gave us great service. He was very friendly and attentive, sociable and pleasant. A great asset to the team

We had 4 different meals in our group, everyone was very satisfied with their meal the quality was excellent. All staff were attentive and helpful. Helen was especially helpful and after accepting our payment and thanking us was also kindenough to stop us as we left the premises to return a jumper we had left behind.

Had a lovely family meal on the weekend. My kids are fussy eaters however they really enjoyed their food. Very friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back soon. Thank you

Food was great and Ben was a fantastic waiter

We have been going to the Ffynon Wen for many years and always have a great experience. As well as being dog friendly the staff always make us feel welcome and the food is always good. A special shout out goes to the lovely Irish guy that works there he was so lovely and personable when we went there recently and nothing was too much trouble for him - a credit to the venue for sure!

Food was lovely snd Ben worked hard to ensure all customers needs were met!

One of my absolute favourite places to eat! The staff are so lovely! Service is always a 10/10. Amazing food!

We were recommended to try the Sunday lunch here by friends. We were not disappointed, nice atmosphere and the staff were super friendly. Good food for a good price. Well worth a try.

We popped in when passing and what a lovely little find. Food was lovely and service from Ben and Alex was great.

What a fab experience, not only has it got your best cosy atmosphere but the food and service is amazing! The barman Irish Chris was so funny and accommodating especially when I forgot to change the tonic in my gin to lemonade, he changed it with no extra charge! Can’t wait to go again!!

Great time at this pub. Very welcoming and cosy. Perfect for a casual evening and relaxed dinner

Booked a table last minute on a friday evening. Ordered fish and chips and mixed grill, which we really enjoyed. The restaurant was busy and the staff seemed rushed off their feet, but were still very friendly and helpful, especially our server Helen and the young lad that was on.

Lovey and spacious .. food not delivered quickly which was great .. served with a smile .. also my favourite cider was available.

Very nice lunch, friendly service.

Excellent voice of food, and for vegetarians. The quality was great, service was good and staff friendly & welcoming.

Excellent service and food. Helen, our waitress went out of the way to make sure we were very looked after. Will definitely be back!

Beautiful pub, brilliant food, excellent customer service. We turned up early on a busy Saturday evening when Helen managed to squeeze 4 of us in for dinner on my daughter’s birthday. Helen made both, my son and daughter feel special and welcome throughout our visit. Brilliant, will not hesitate to return!

Excellent in every way. Enjoyed our visit and will be calling again.

Food lovely.. staff very friendly

Asked for medium steak, came out over well done with ice cold mushrooms and portion size was like a child's portion

Lovely food very nice pub great staff

Staff very friendly and polite. Food and service was excellent. Definitely coming back here.

Everything ok. Staff could have been more customer friendly

I am organising a funeral / wake and many of my friends had recommended the Ffynon Wen for it’s quality, service and food choices. I went up for lunch myself on Saturday and treated so well by Marcus that upon that whole experience and the information online and in person,I booked a buffet for 50 persons for March 6th. Impressive.

Lovely meal. Friendly staff specially Billie. Right price.

Lovely place, nice food, drinks and friendly staff

Great experience again! The barman Alex is amazing!

We went for Sunday lunch it was so tasteless, I had a child size lunch, just as well as it was so tasteless that I hardly ate anything of it. My brother had the same only an adult size meal but he found his to be tasteless as well. I asked for the dessert menu but after waiting for almost 30 minutes we decided to leave and go to Sainsbury's down the road and buy some Trifles and cream from there and eat it at home!! We were disgusted with the quality of the food and service! Definitely a place we'd never go back to!! It's such a shame as my husband and I used to go there such a lot and really enjoyed the food as well as atmosphere and the staff were always so lovely. It's so sad that it's gone downhill so much.

Service and food excellent. Will definitely return

Lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff good food !

Hi I’m Lorraine part of a group party that visits the Ffynon Wen on Saturday at 1pm. Every visit I’m greeted by Marcus and his mum and Chris, a very warm welcome. We have sampled most of the menu and are never disappointed with the quality and selection available. It’s piping hot and plenty of it. The restaurant is clean and inviting and plenty of room. I would highly recommend A*****

Lovely food, great price & Billie was excellent with my 1 year old daughter! X

Lovely setting. Lovely staff. Food is delicious!! Birthday treat complete

Excellent meal lovely atmosphere service first class and very helpful and friendly staff

Gorgeous food ,great service ,especially from our server billie well done all .

Food was Fresh, hot and very tasty. Service was excellent as we arrived without a booking

Food was amazing service was great lovely friendly staff would definitely come back

Visit regularly every Saturday lunchtime. Very courteous to four old ladies and we are always made very welcome.

Clean pub, immaculate toilets, plenty of parking, food came out fast and hot and was delicious. Great customer service too!

The food arrived quickly and was delicious. Our waiter Chris was friendly and very helpful. We will definitely return again

The staff are lovely and the food was okay.

Lovely food and great service, we have already booked for christmas day

We have visited the pub three times over the last 6 months, including today's visit. We cannot recommend this enough, primarily for the efforts of the staff. The food is lovely and the pricing is spot on etc. However, each time we have come here, the manager (a gentleman in polo shirt and tailored shorts) gives us a warm welcome and a friendly service. The wait staff are all helpful and warm. We often have 3 children with us aged 6-8 and an autistic teenager with food issues - the staff are understanding and helpful and can't offer quick enough to help us. Tonight we sat at table 12 and they kept an eye on us as they had a number of large parties in and were making sure we hadn't been forgotten or pushed aside. The staff are what keep making us come back and truly make the experience special each time
