Grosvenor Hotel in Ceredigion

Popped to cardigan and started looking for some food, as we were about to give up the wife saw an A frame for this pub so I looked it up on Tripadvisor. Mostly positive reviews but one caught our eye moaning nearly every table had a dog at the table. Our sort of place. Upon entering I laughed out loud at the sight of 3 large leonbergers that were beautifully behaved behaved (our little dachshund said his thoughts at the giants in front of him but settled). Onto the food, drink and staff. No complaints at all (they do need to fix the speaker near the toilets as it’s blown and makes a low level brr noise to the music but that’s minor) I had the fish and chips as I never order that in a pub and fancied it and my wife ordered a burger. Both were really tasty (the burger was an impressive thickness) All in all happily recommend (other dogs turned up during our stay, never trust a reviewer that doesn’t like dogs lol

Lovely place and staff lovely very friendly and so helpful can’t wait to go to cardigan just to have a meal here again

Nicest pub in cardigan Nice seating along riverfront on a nice day Does a nice pub menu between 12 to 3 and 5 to 8 sometimes doesn’t serve food midweek Nice range of beers some from local brewery’s

Fantastic food next to the river with friends highly recommended

Lovely food, very accommodating staff. Food allergies all catered to without hesitation. Lewis was attentive without being intrusive. Very appreciated

Good food, service and environment.

Beware the sign that clearly states food on a Monday until 20.30, it's a lie. Got to the bar just before 20.00 and asked for a menu, 5 minutes later I went to order, kitchens closed. It says '20.30' on the sign I reminded the young man behind the bar, 'it all depends' was his reply, ummmm, depends on what?! It's a mystery, it's a lie and terrible customer service, beware!

Food incredible staff can't do enough for you lovely pub will defo recommend and re visit the jacket potatoes were amazing and the onion rings were the best my daughters have had

Good location Staff polite and friendly. Service prompt. Food reasonably priced tasty and good portion sizes. Nice place for a brunch for lunch.

Family ideal place,lovley veiw over the river,good food,freindly staff,resonable priced recomended

Food and ale were top class. There was quite a long wait for food.. But they were very busy

Nice friendly staff served me lovely local brew.

We had a really enjoyable lunch at The Grosvenor this week. Staff were fantastic as was our meal. The only thing that let down our lunchtime outing was the fact that every table had a dog. In the end we felt we were at Crufts without our dog. I have nothing against dogs but surley you should have an area for people without dogs. Once one started barking they all joined in. Won't be returning in a hurry, basically for this reason. Not everyone wants a barking mad lunchtime meal.

Excellent pub with gluten free options , dog friendly, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. We had gammon , egg and chips and a burger and thoroughly enjoyed our visit

There were eleven of us in for a pre booked meal and cannot fault anything at all, we were greeted warmly and served the same. We all had different meals and each one was cooked perfectly and exactly how we wanted, portion sizes were great. I would highly recommend visiting here.

A lunchtime visit while in Cardigan reminiscing about old times. Dogs are welcome here, we could’ve chosen inside or outside seating, the outside seats offer a nice view of Cardigan bridge and the river Teifi. Ordering is at the bar with your table number and on the day we visited the food was delivered in adequate time, was hot and tasted really good. Staff were very friendly and took time to talk to us and our four legged family member. Toilets were also clean which is a bonus!

Was a Sunday so no food served. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff 👌

Really lovely pub/restaurant, good food and great service! We ordered the fish and chips, and the jacket potato with a side of onion rings. Everything was cooked really well, and the service was excellent. Only criticism, they don’t have a car park for the pub but there’s a pay and display one a few minutes walk away. Overall, really good experience 👍

Pleasant pub for a light lunch.

One of the best pubs in town with a lovely view of the river. Big up ❤️

Nice restaurant on the Telfi river. The service is very friendly. We dined here twice and the food was good.

Riverside pub with outside seating.

Best BLT and onion rings we've ever had. Lovely atmosphere at lunch time, clean, comfortable and quick service.

We had a couple of drinks here, lovely seating area, friendly staff & good location.

Lovely little pub chairs need a make over 😀

Really good pub. Great seating area at the front giving a view of the castle and at the side looking over the river. Very good pint of doom bar and good pub food.

Good beer selection, friendly service and amazing views

Food was great and a fair price. Lunch time menu has a brilliant value for money and the staff are very nice.

Nice pub with a great outdoors overlooking the river.

Always a warm welcome,food always good

Short staffed, the ones there lovely, not there fault, first impressions, seating with stuffing come out on many arms of chairs, paint work coming off radiators, it would not take much to make it lovely, new tables, new chairs, comfy sofas Here and there.... my shoes where sticking to the floor, you can not blame the staff .management...needs to spend some bucks.. Lovely location, but...a little more thought....gave me the job of re..doing I would love it this place got lots going for it...only lacking in imagination...

Nice pub with sports on the drinks were a good price and the food was very nice. The night life there is pretty good there as well pretty busy and good music I would definitely recommend 👍🏻

Came here twice while visiting Cardigan. Great atmosphere and drink prices were very reasonable. Will definitely be back

Great food at good prices very friendly staff allows dogs which is amazing but in all a lovely pub would definitely recommend

Despite competing with 2 Christmas parties, the service was excellent as was the food. Pie and burger and chips were both first class.

Not a bad pub decent atmosphere

Friendly and helpful staff. Tasty food. Value for money.Dog friendly, always a plus.

Booked a table for my father's birthday which was noted with table decorations the manager also noted my family was very elderly and set up a table downstairs the service was very helpful and friendly food was served hot and freshly made even on a busy Saturday evening service was 10 out 10

Food was amazing quality, large potions and excellent service

Very nice looking pub. Good welcome. Didn't have food but beer was good!

Called the restaurant to ask if they did carvery, which they said they did, so booked a table which I was told was the last spot they had. Arrived and the restaurant was basically empty and I can see why. There was no carvery only a set dinner, which came with peas, carrots roast potatoes and mash. If you had the beef option you were allowed a Yorkshire pudding, if you had chicken you were given a single stuffing ball. I asked the waitress if I could both or switch to which she snarked and said it was not possible in a very sarcastic tone and that they had only cooked enough Yorkshire puddings to cover beef dinners. If I was not very hungry I would have left then. The food arrived and it was tiny. Hardly anything on a huge plate. The food itself was tasteless. The chicken was dry, and the gravy was like brown water. The peas were clearly from a microwaveable bag. Overall terrible experience and I will not be returning. I'm shocked at all the positive reviews this restaurant has as it was nothing like other reviews state.

Visited here for a wake today. Service and staff were great. Buffet was also great!

Great location on the river, only called in for a drink so cannot comment about the food. Ordered a Madri which was served in a Peroni glass...

Sunday lunch great, nice choice of veg. Service is decent too. Recommended Edit...in here to watch the Welsh rugby. Staff and food superb and free sausage & chips for everyone at half time. My 2nd favourite pub of all time

Our wonderful local!! What a pub!! Great food, wonderful atmosphere and a superb line of staff! Doesn't matter if you're local or not, you'll receive great service and have a great night, the manager Max is wonderful, and we love how great Jakob is!! We love the groves!!

Had a nice few drinks for an evening. Nice selection to pick from.

Good pint and drinks selection. Never had food. Nice atmosphere and very popular. Dog friendly too. Took pooch in and was told we could sit anywhere. Next to the river too.

Excellent service by young bar staff. They were knowledgeable, polite, accommodating and pub food was delicious. They knew their beers, they recommended lovely choices for dinner and place was busy for a Monday, all great signs of a nice evening.

Stopped off here today for some lunch. A great choice on our part. From the moment we walked in the customer service was exceptional. Jacob especially was the epitome of top notch customer service. The Grosvenor was welcoming, warm & friendly. All of the staff were outstanding. Our food arrived on very good time. I had the roast beef dinner, which was delicious, superbly cooked, hot when served & ample portions. I couldn't finish it, even though I shared it with my hubby. My husband had the roast beef bap which he said was very generously filled with tender, melt in your mouth beef, cracking chips & decent side salad. The prices were some of the lowest we've seen so it was exceptional value for money. We'll be back & we recommend you make a point to visit the Grosvenor if you're in Cardigan or the area.

Booked in sunday lunch 17th Sept 13.30 both ordered roast beef when food came out 30 mins later I was missing mashed potato and ball of stuffing on my plate and they even forgot cauliflower cheese of both plates aswell beef was very tough whole dinner was half cold would've been nice to have fresh veg on the plate and a puffed up Yorkshire pud jnstead of a flat one not very impressed with the grosvenor

Brilliant place to visit , good location , good hot food , staff great and very attentive , worth a visit

This is a very popular establishment alongside the river and near the castle. The Sunday lunch was a little disappointing.

I chose to have the child's mac and cheese as it was clearly listed as vegan on the menu. I have an allergy to all dairy products and I was excited to have a suitable option available for a suitable price. Once it arrived I noticed the cheese had caramelised brown spots on top, something that dairy free cheese does not and it was very stringy, again unlike non dairy cheese. I went up to a server to confirm it was definitely vegan friendly. She assured me that it was and pointed to the clear VG sign next to the kids mac and cheese on the menu, reiterating that VG stands for vegan and that the vegan cheese is just very realistic. She didn’t even come over to the table, look at the food or speak to the chef and I felt like I was being an inconvenience for (quite rightly)simply double checking for the sake of my own health. Lo and behold I had an allergic reaction to consuming the dairy. I assume it is supposed to be listed as vegetarian and there is a mistake on the labelling on the menu, a mistake which is so careless and dangerous. This is an incredibly serious issue and I felt it was not treated as such. Contacted the establishment and requested a refund. I have been refunded £6.95 for the mac and cheese and not for the full price of the meal which just adds insult to injury. Allergies are no joke and to say we spent £35 in total here and got less than £7 compensation is ridiculous.

Food is not for the faint hearted

Didn't gave food but has a cariety of drinks. Staff friendly.

Nice Riverside location, separate dining area upstairs, family friendly, really nice Sunday roast beef dinner. Only let down by the hour wait for our food, even with a booked table.

Complete joke. Ordered food and spent £75. We were waiting an hour and a half for sandwiches and chips with barely another table eating. Gluten free meal for my coeliac mum arrived with gluten on it, rest of the order arrived wrong and had to be corrected and the fishfingers must have gone under the grill in 1824, they were solid and cremated. I’m not being funny but getting 7 sandwiches right inside of 2 hours, not serving gluten to coeliacs and being able to cook a fishfinger is not that much to ask for.

We visited The Grosvenor today for a Sunday dinner, our table was booked for 130pm we were sat very promptly and someone came immediately to take our drinks orders. We were told they couldn't take our food order straight away as the kitchen was too busy... not a great start We waited another 10 minutes then they came and took our food order, I asked how long food would be and was told at least 20 minutes as they were very busy. It took an hour in total to get our food, luckily when the food came out it was very good which was it saving grace. Some people left instead of waiting others seemed quite fed up due to the length of time for food. The food was lovely but if we would have been told it would have been an hour we may have found somewhere else to eat with our two young children.

Well we did leave a glowing review after our first visit. We returned the previous night having been very pleased with the service you provided us and how you accommodated for our autistic son. He felt at ease and wanted to return the following evening. We came along but were refused as you wouldn’t accommodate our dog which you had done the previous evening. Slightly embarrassing having to walk out and our son couldn’t understand why. Also having paid £2.60 for parking we had to return to our caravan as our son was upset. Maybe a bit more clarity needed. A disappointing end to our last evening on holiday.

Very nice pub and staff are friendly reasonably priced

All the staff were so happy, friendly and welcoming. Jacob went out of his way to be extra helpful. It was such a nice atmosphere. We did not have to wait to be served because staff were on point working hard and appearing to enjoy their job, so lovely to see these days. You don't get that often. Also the music in the bar was really good acoustic like. Thanks so much Grosvenor for making our holiday that extra special.

Lengthy waiting time and a substandard meal. Won't return.

We really liked the food here, we were on holiday, and we went twice for food. I had the chorizo, bacon n sausage lasagne. It was that good I'm going to make it at home.

Really great food, not anything to complain about from anyone in our group of 9. Servers were all really polite and attentive, and the pub itself was well laid out and cosy. Would visit again if we lived much closer (200+ mile)

Stopped serving food at 1400hrs,so could not eat there.

Food was tasty, served efficiently bit pricey for portion size but overall pretty good.

Tried three or four places before we tried the Grosvenor for lunch. Food was great, menu wasn't over complicated and the price was very reasonable. All the staff were great, but Jacob was brilliant and absolutely made for customer facing - efficient, friendly and competent.

The service was very slow. We ordered, 3 couples came in and ordered and all 3 got their lunches quicker than us. The majority of them ordered a roast beef dinner, same as us except i had a burger, and they got their food quicker. The food was okay, not the best, not the worst. One of my friends had a nut roast, and this had no nuts. The burger and roast beef dinner was okay, it could've been better. Finally, they messed up our bill, as we paid for someone else's dinner. I give it 2/5.

Visiting the lovely town of cardigan today and decided stop for a local lunch we were greeted with lovely staff with a happy and holly tone some of us were much happy with our food however on some of the children’s dishes small hairs and lumpy bland mash did not suit to amaze.

Lovely, good ambience. Can't rate the food as only in for drinks

Fabulous, drinks and food competitively priced. The service was quick and Emillie was a complete pleasure. She’s was very informative about the local ales. Thank you.

Nice seat outside with river view, sulky service, lipstick on glass so took glass back, bar lady said nothing as she sulkily took glass and gave me another saying "it's just come out of the wash" to which I replied.."I presume that one did as well"...no response......won't be back.

Didn't eat, but staff were friendly, and courteous, good spread of beers.. nice spot to sit in the sun and look at the castle..

Went with the family for Sunday dinner. We had a table on the first floor so it was quieter then eating in the bar. Outside tables had a lovely view of the river and bridge. Everyone enjoyed their meals especially the vegetarian options.

Stopped in for Sunday dinner pretty average

Good food and service, recommended

Cocktails on tap! Reasonably priced.

A lovely pub, nice food, courtious staff. However, the staff behind the bar were so hot they were sweating and obviously really uncomfortable. They need fans, as a prevous bar owner myself in,Ibiza, i know how much the fridges blow out heat. Please give them fans.

Great food and service and good selection of drinks.

Just a quiet beer in the pub garden overlooking the river. Lovely spot, sitting in the sunshine enjoying life....Beer was great too!

Had lunch time meal here and it was absolutely lovely. Good selction of food and ample portion sizes. Gorgeous setting and staff couldn't have been more helpful and lovely.

Stopped here for a pint as the veiws looked nice from outside, Staff were friendly, looked at the menu pub bog standard food, would of thought something better to go with location, wasnt overly busy, pub tables inside appeared not to of been cleaned, bits of sweetcorn on our table, and bits of food on others, went outside, seating area was appalling, with empty glasses left on tables and cigarette butt's on the floor, my partner left his drink, we wasn't impressed!

Gorgeous sunday lunch ! Turkey dinnervwas first class and the dressed crab salad was deliciious! Highly recommend !

Good pub. Good service. Nice outside area in a great location.

Nice location. Half decent beer and friendly staff. No food on Mon to Wed and that caught us out.

Decent pub on edge of town. Been to Cardigan a few times but always missed this...not next time! Big family pub.

Always a welcome, pinta Guiness and quality bar meals.

Great local beer and good food. Lovely in the sunshine

Great staff on a very busy day . Food was hot and fast bar staff couldn't of gone any faster to get the que down . Great beer garden

Good beer garden and a nice pint

Absolutely amazing food! Portions were huge and very well priced! Tasted like proper home cooked food!! First time here but will definitely be returning! Strong recommendations for the hunters chicken and gammon! Incredible!!

Arrived at 2:20 when food finished at 2:30. Ok but when you are leaving and a table is serving people main meals! Apparently they had their starters as we arrived! We only wanted sandwiches and baked potatoes. Weren’t even given a chance to ask.we weren’t told food had finished or we probably wouldn’t have stayed for drinks xx

Busy, but friendly and food hot and wholesome.

Excellent food. Warm welcome. We had dogs with us and were offered water for them as soon as we arrived. Beautiful location. Friendly staff- especially the bar man with the mullet :) Will defintely return

Yes enjoyed our visit the staff were very helpful. Alex our waiter/barman was very friendly and efficient. We enjoyed our food, thanks to the Chef. We were with locals from Brick Row and enjoyed our visit to Cardigan from our home in Swansea. The Grosvenor is right adjacent to the River Teifi not far from Cardigan Castle so well worth a visit. Pets are welcome.

Quiet and friendly place good service and friendly staff

Went for Sunday lunch. Staff very friendly, food good value and delicious. Had the roast Turkey and pate starter. My hubbie doesn’t eat cheese so they where very kind and gave plain cauliflower with no problems at all. Thank you.

Staff good, quality of food not so much. I had "steak and ale pie". The filling looked and tasted as though it had come out of a tin and pastry was undercooked. Don't understand why it came with a spoonful of veg and a spoonful of salad. One or the other, please. My guests had seafood linguini and butternut squash dish both of which were adequate but no better. I don't think we will be going again.

Ate twice here during our recent stay in Cardigan, first time 3 courses each, second just 2. Could not fault anything at all, also had a drink here on a few occasions. All the staff were so friendly, Jakob is an example of a perfect front of house. Thanks to all for looking after us.
