Come here for our 10 year anniversary. All I can say is the service and the food was incredible. Five shiny stars from me kind regards Adam Edwards

MY Wife booked Sunday lunch, after recommendations from a family member. The Kings arms is a lovely pub, pleasant atmosphere, with excellent service, my only criticism would be some of the food, the starter ( leak & potato soup) was very tasty, the dessert ( rhubarb crumble with custard) again was very nice, the main course ( beef dinner with veg ) was tasteless, if I closed my eyes and put any of the veg in my mouth, I'd have struggled to know what I was eating, no flavours whatsoever, if it wasn't for the mint sauce, the dinner would have had zero taste, even the beef was bland. I'd go back again, but maybe not have a cooked dinner. 👍

Perfect village pub/restaurant. Sunday lunch was delicious together with a gorgeous Merlot. A very friendly and helpful staff team made the experience a very enjoyable one. Highly recommend the King's Arms, Pentyrch if you are in the area. 5 Stars.

Had Sunday roast dinner; lamb was tender and delicious. The veg & cauliflower cheese were all good too. Yorkie could have been more crisp and hot though. Sticky toffee dessert was ok. The meat was definitely star of the show. Only Inch's on tap, would have been nice to see more ciders on tap.

We had a good meal at the Kings Arms, service was a little bit disorganized and slow but nothing terrible. The main meals were excellent with a great choice, we expected a similar choice of puddings but instead there was a chalkboard thrust in our faces with a choice of the five Usual Suspects including rhubarb crumble, chocolate brownie etc etc. We opted for the rhubarb crumble unfortunately this wasn't a good choice with a paultry amount of custard and a filling of rather Green watery rhubarb. Overall a very nice place to eat with some great choices of starters and mains at a very reasonable price.

Never been before but friend local to the pub took us for Sunday lunch. Had to wait an additional 20-minutes for our table, but it was well worth it (even had an extra wee drink before we sat down). I had pate to start, which was lovely and plenty of bread and butter to go with it and dessert was brulé which was also very nice. I had beef for my main course that was simply outstanding! I knew it would be good when it was offered medium rare or well done. I went for medium rare and it was perfection! The accompanying vegetables were also really well prepared and served and a special shout out for the carrots and parsnips! Also, homemade yorkies. We live about 45-minutes drive away, but we are 100% going to go back and take other friends with us! Think we have found a new fave place…

I went for Sunday lunch in the restaurant with my wife and mother in law. It was a bit draughty because we were sat close to the door. The Restaurant had a really noisy child on the table behind us. I chose the soup and the vegan steak roast, my mother in law went for the deep fried ham hock in breadcrumbs, and roast beef for main course. Verdicts… Soup was lovely (Potato and Leek, obviously made fresh) Ham hock, my mother in law enjoyed.Looked like it started out frozen. Roast lunch was disappointing, it looked like a beyond beef burger, it was billed as Vegan Steak Roast ,the roast potatoes looked very frozen then roasted. The other vegetables seemed ok nicely, al dente , the others in our party thought their slice and a half beef was very fatty and difficult to cut. A bit underwhelming. The creme brulee was nice, it was cold, was meant to be warm? Service was attentive.

We were told by a friend who just happened to come across this pub/restaurant when looking for a family meal venue, that the food was amazing! They weren't wrong, we had a drink in the bar/lounge area which you can also choose to have your meal. I wanted an aperol spritz my husband a beer but were told they only sell the spritz in two as per the size of the processco bottle, that wasn't a problem for us just unusal. The only negative of the bar area is that they have a lovely fireplace with log burner which wasnt on when we were there, but when the staff came into work they just threw their coats/ jackets to the side of the log burner so you could just see a pile of coats, surely they have a proper area to hang their coats etc!. We proceeded to go to the restaurant area which you go through the snug area of the pub which seems mainly the locals catch up, but I'm sure anyone can stay in there. We went in the restaurant area and ordered our meals and drinks. The staff were polite and promt. The food was delicious we ordered the chilli prawns and beetroot falafel for starters and went halves as usual! I had the lamb rump which was cooked to perfection , my husband the vegetarian pie which je said was one of the best he's had. for pudding I had the cheese cake bit found a bit bitter after taste so didn't eat all, my husband the creme brulee which he loved. We enjoyed our night there for my birthday meal and will go again

What a lovely experience in a gorgeous little atmospheric pub. Before we arrived Dan could not have been more helpful with our booking. The Market Menu had some really interesting dishes and there was also the Bar Menu and Pie Menu. The panko breaded goat cheese with a beetroot slaw was the tastiest starters i've had for a long time and the lamb rump with a lamb bon bon was superb. Good wine list aswell. We were told a brand new menu is coming out in February and we can't wair to try it. Well done all at The Kings.

We go to the King’s Arms at least once a month even twice the food is always good, so we decided to have Christmas lunch there. We took the second sitting arrive at 2.45 we were told to sit down at 3pm. First sitting were still there and we waited half an hour for our table, no worries we thought, staff apologised and they were busy trying to accommodate us. Appetisers came out quickly lovely, more than an hour later the starters arrived. The sitting was full, clearly looked like there were too many people to adequately serve. Mains came 2 hours later, cold, potatoes like rock, gravy stone comfy, we were asked if we wanted it warmed up, how I wondered so declined. The food was inedible and disappointing given that usually it’s so good, we had our dessert to go as we had been waiting for food for so long. We were not charged for service, however I feel that two sittings when you are struggling to cope food wise, seems disingenuous, thus wasn’t an inexpensive event.

A traditional village pub with gastro pub food and some traditional modern British pub classics. For real ale the Kings Arms had Young's bitter or Brains SA on handpump on my first visit, with Courage Best instead of SA on my second. While this generation of Best is a bland pint, it is ok for an afternoon beer or a driver. The cider is Inch's keg. Upmarket high quality pies and food (market menu) and wine at upmarket prices. A less fancy and pricey but still high quality pub menu. Large selection of gins. Dog friendly. Friendly and welcoming staff. A nice outdoor patio when weather permits. A wide range of customers making a pub that is part of the community and attracts wider visitors. On our second visit, with close family who recently moved to Pentyrch, we had the Sunday lunch. I had the leak and potato soup, then the lamb - as an occasional meat eater / mostly vegetarian in the last ten years. It was very good. My wife thought the vegan steak was a bit boring - trying too hard perhaps. She'd have preferred a decent pie or maybe a regular veggie burger choice which are available on other days. The waitresses and waiter were familiar and confident with different dietary requirements and checked with the kitchen that my wife's choices were dairy free, suitable for lactose intolerance.

I went for Sunday lunch with my daughter and grandchildren (5 & 7) and we had such a great experience. The staff were great and plentiful and the food the same ! The only issue we had was that we were placed on a ‘high’ table which is not the best for eating at for children but I did not specify there were children in our party so if I had they may have given us a different table. I would definitely return.

So disappointing. I was looking forward to a traditional welcoming pub with a fire but the lounge bar was freezing cold with very little seating much of which was taken by children on arrival. It was so dark I could barely see what I was eating. Staff were nice and food was good but shouldn’t have to eat with a coat on. On a cold wet winter evening, why not light the fire

Cold and draughty inside on a cold evening. Heating would have been appreciated as we all dined in our coats! Restrooms were even colder! Food was tasty but portions on the meagre side. Expensive for what you get. Young staff pleasant enough but not particularly attentive. Had to find them to ask them to take the dessert order after a significant wait. Just an ok from me I’m afraid

We were dropping someone off at Cardiff Airport and thought we'd stop for Sunday lunch nearby. We chose the King's Arms, and I'm so glad we did. We we're greeted by a friendly member of staff who guided us through to the restaurant. We ordered 4 soft drinks and decided on 3 roast beef and a roast lamb. It all arrived very quickly. The portions were very generous and came with separate veg. We then decided on rhubarb crumble, lemon cheesecake, and brownie for dessert. All throughout the staff were very friendly and polite. If we're in the area again, we'll definitely be back 👍

First time visiting the Kings Arms. Warm welcome with friendly & attentive service from the front of house team in the restaurant section of this cosy pub. Good selection of dishes across the different menus. One member of our party is a vegetarian and had a choice of dishes to chose from. Have to mention the pies, so deliciously. Freshly baked …about 25 mins to wait whilst they cook but worth it. Every dish our party had was cooked to perfection and presented nicely. I look forward to visiting for dinner again at the Kings Arms when visiting family living locally.

A slightly delayed review! We had our wedding reception here at The Kings Arms in October 2021. The staff were incredible and couldn’t do enough to make our special day run smoothly. The venue is stunning and the food was amazing. All of our guests gave compliments on how delicious the food was. We’ve found wedding food can be lacking in flavour with small portions which is something we were passionate about avoiding and eating at The Kings Arms as two big foodies was perfect! We highly recommend. Sorry for the delay in posting! Two children and a puppy have been keeping us busy! 🫣

There were a handful of very well behaved dogs, and about a dozen appallingly behaved children in the beer garden. The parents didn't seem to care at all which makes me think that this is normal for the pub. The fish & chips I ordered were quite anaemic & a tiny portion for the £14 I paid. The peas were extremely salty, not a great flavour. Decent beer & good bar staff, nice garden & inside. [Edit] the fish had about 10 bones in it too

Pretty average in all respects. Well the beer was good.. the Sunday roast had very burned yorkies and undercooked green beans and almost no gravy. Apparently the veggie steak thing was weird and tasteless. Had to get the waitresses attention and ask for everything, asked for kids menus, another round of drinks, spoons for dessert, extra gravy etc.. nothing was ever offered and it's quite a pricey pub/restaurant so a more attentive service is expected. The staff were all nice so it seemed that this was just the level of service we should expect. It's a shame as I'd love to make that pub one I go to regularly but I won't unless it's just for a pint. The Gwaelod is miles better.

Had Sunday lunch in the Kings Arms while in Wales visiting family. We had a mixture of beef and lamb roast dinners, and it was completely let down by the quality of the meat. Both the lamb and the beef had roughly 20-25% edible meat. It's such a shame because the pub is in a beautiful place and is stunning inside, but unfortunately, it is let down by the food quality.

Visited Kings Arms (for first time) Friday 20th August 2021. It was for a birthday meal with family. We wanted to try something different to the usual "chain establishments". Booked over the phone a table of 5 for 7pm. However, on the day due to weather and roadworks and high levels of traffic, it was indicating that the 38 minute journey could be double that. As I hate to be late we set off even earlier, but sailed through and arrived at the pub around 6:15! Main carpark was full, but there was a space left in front of the pub. Unfortunately my daughter and partner arriving separately couldn't get in so had to park a fair distance down the hill. May not have been an issue if we had arrived closer to our booking time, but something to consider as it is popular.Having arrived early, and the bar was quite packed we approached the bar and the lady behind the bar did look into whether it was possible to switch between the bar and restaurant seating but was unable to do so. However, despite our early arrival she did arrange fairly quickly to sort us out at a table at the back , well away from the bar which was great.The menus were provided and drink request taken. The waitress that took our order was excellent, being both professional and friendly & welcoming and had a thorough knowledge of the drink selection from the bar! This is a rare skill in many places we have been to eat over recent years.The same waitress was also very helpful in describing a number of the starters and we went with 3 , Tempura prawns with chilli jam, Ham & cheese croquette and the recommended pulled ham hock bonbon. She was also kind enough to go and get the dessert board for my daughter - as selection of desserts influences her choice of mains (she needs to leave room for them!). All 3 were delicious, but we all agreed (as they were shared between the 5 of us) that the ham hock was probably the best!Mains we went for included the beef burger, chicken burger, cod and chips, sea bass and honey roast belly pork. Everyone enjoyed their meals, though I did find a greater than usual amount of (inedible) fat on the belly pork than I have usually had in the past. However, I think that is a risk you take with this meal and the crackling and the remaining meat was lovely. I was also was called on to help out the two ladies having fish, and I have to say I thought they were the two stand out meals. The freshness of the cod and crispy batter was the best I have ever tasted and the sea bass was also excellent.To be fair, I think we had all eaten enough by then but it seemed a shame to leave without at least trying one of them, so three of us ordered the brownies - which were soft and gooey and a good finish to a lovely meal.We had the pleasure of another two of the waiting staff helping out with the courses/drinks orders and all of them certainly are a credit to the pub.So all in all a great night, but whilst the food was excellent I think it was the service experience that stood out. Well done. I wish we lived closer to Pentyrch!

Wonderful food and service (thankyou Ellie and the team for working so hard). Lovely fresh Calamari and prawns to start, followed by cod and chips and steak and chips.

Excellent. Very well cooked simple food and super service. Best whitebait and cod & chips I've had. You could 'mix 'n match' between the day and evening menu. My wife, son and friend really enjoyed. My son was especially pleased when the owner - who chatted to us - kindly mentioned that mac & cheese was available as an extra, so we ordered it and he duly demolished it in short order. We'll be back for the posh menu and will recommend.

So after my 3rd visit to the Kings Arms I have finally found the time to write a review. My first visit was after a strong recommendation from a friend whom is the worlds fussiest eater! The atmosphere, service and food exceeded all expectations I just knew I had to come back. The next visit was with a high profile client of mine who was also blown away by the same level of service and quality of food I initially received on the first visit and also noted that the calm and professional atmosphere surrounding us was second to none which is rare to find these days, needless to say, very impressed once again! Myself and a friend visited again tonight, I’m not normally the one to go to a restaurant and order a burger, but after another recommendation of another friend to try the burgers I thought I’d give it a go and for sure it did not disappoint in the slightest, again the same level of hospitality shone through and for sure I will be back for many visits to come, it’s great to have found a place with the same level of consistency each and every visit, somewhere your that confident of taking someone after you have given it a tonne of praise! Dan the owner has a wealth of exceptional experience in the hospitality industry and this clearly reflects onto the staff and every small detail within the business. The fact that all the staff present every time I have visited have all been with the business since the day Dan began his journey speaks for itself! Not the typical high turnover of staff environment like the majority of other restaurants. The staff are a credit to the company and of course the main man who makes it all possible! Absolutely outstanding and I can’t wait for the next visit! A bit like Mary Poppins, “Practically perfect in every way”

Estábamos ansiosos por disfrutar de una buena comida después de un paseo por Pentyrch y Garth, y el Kings Arms no nos decepcionó. Los excelentes entrantes de Whitebait, Ham Hock y Paté fueron seguidos por los tradicionales asados de ternera, cordero y pollo. Demasiado lleno para postre, aunque otros disfrutaron de gofres y creme brl e's. El servicio fue excelente también, con dos servidores amables y conocedores. Saludos, gran trabajo?

Ayer disfruté de una relajante tarde de domingo con mi familia en el jardín de cerveza del Kings Arms en Pentyrch. El menú del almuerzo del domingo tenía una selección de carnes y una opción vegetariana. ¡El pollo era el mejor que habíamos probado en mi vida! ¡Estaba tan húmedo y se derretía en la boca! Llegó sobre una cama de puré de zanahoria y una salsa muy rica. Llegaron muchas verduras en guarniciones, todas de origen local. También puedo recomendar encarecidamente el entrante Ham Hock Bonbon. ¡Delicioso!Las mesas estaban todas bien colocadas de acuerdo con las medidas de distanciamiento social. La comida se sirvió rápidamente, grandes porciones, bien presentada, excelente relación calidad-precio y servicio con una sonrisa. Es casi 5 estrellas en todo el camino y salí sintiendo que no podía fallar. Un corte por encima de la comida de pub habitual y fabuloso de principio a fin. Estoy deseando que llegue mi próxima visita.

Después de leer críticas anteriores, hicimos una visita aquí hoy.Teníamos sopa de puerros y patatas y ternera. Ambos fueron absolutamente impresionantes. Nos quedamos realmente impresionados con la elección, el sabor y la presentación de la comida. Si está buscando un almuerzo de domingo, definitivamente lo recomendaría aquí. Volveremos, eso es seguro. !

En estos tiempos difíciles de restricciones covid, elegimos este pub galés tradicional, hogareño y concurrido, ya que estábamos en la zona en la que nos estábamos quedando.El menú era variado con platos tradicionales de pub como hamburguesas y pescado y patatas fritas, pero también platos más aventureros.Tuve un entrante de carrillada de buey cocida a fuego lento sobre una tostada; era suculento y profundo en sabor a carne como era de esperar y fue muy bien con mi pinta de Brains SA. Como plato principal, comí lomo de cerdo, puré de patatas de manzana y mostaza con cerdo desmenuzado y bombón de morcilla con jugo de vino tinto. Todos estaban perfectamente cocinados; el lomo estaba húmedo y los acompañamientos deliciosos. Para el postre me influyó la natilla con pudín de caramelo pegajoso, posiblemente un poco demasiado dulce, pero no obstante sabroso.El tamaño de las porciones era perfecto y los precios de los platos eran moderados. Sentí que tenía una buena relación calidad-precio, aunque probablemente en algún lugar donde comerías todos los días.Con el ambiente relajado y la calidad de la comida, sin duda volveremos cuando estemos así.

Realmente recomiendo el menú de mercado. El iniciador de mejilla de buey era rico y se derretía en la boca. La tarta de Shepherds de paleta de cordero era tan sabrosa, me encantaron las zanahorias glaseadas. Simplemente una comida deliciosa y equilibrada. Todo el mundo disfrutó el suyo, supremo de pollo, crumble de tomate y queso de cabra. hamburguesas fabulosas también. Salud.

Después de encontrar las armas de los reyes, los domingos ya están completos. Una cena de ternera y cordero absolutamente increíble tanto para mí como para mi pareja, ¡ahora no tenemos necesidad de ir a ningún otro lado! Además, el personal nos pareció acogedor y amable. Encuentra un mejor almuerzo, te estaré esperando. . . ¡Un largo tiempo!

In my opinion one of the best pubs in Cardiff. Great beer, great staff and great food. Delivery in the village during this whole world of uncertainty and helping the community where they can. 10/10 everytime!

Went with my wife to sample the new Market Menu which changes monthly. We missed the February one so didn't want to miss the March version. I had the Braised Ox Cheek which was utter perfection whilst my wife had the salmon, again perfectly cooked and presented.Great atmosphere in the snug bar and the restaurant with attentive, courteous and professional service.

Lovely pub, great atmosphere, nice food and decent prices. What you need for a simple night out, go for a nice steak and have a whiskey or two by the fire in the cosy bar area.

Fantástico almuerzo de domingo con la familia en los Kings esta tarde. Cálida bienvenida con chimeneas de leña que hizo un ambiente acogedor. Nuestra cena de carne asada fue absolutamente deliciosa y disfrutada por todos.Esta fue nuestra segunda visita consecutiva para el almuerzo del domingo y planeamos volver pronto. ¡Los brownies de chocolate son imprescindibles! Gran servicio y personal tan amable.

Visited for lunch. Food was well prepared, we had a starter and main. Lovely presentation, well cooked and sensible sized portions. All the pub favourites you might expect plus a couple of specials. Keen pricing. I'm sure we'll be back.

Caminé por la ruta atmosférica oscura y ventosa desde mi alojamiento, mirando a la luna y volviéndome cada vez más frío. . . Cuando llegué al Kings Arms necesitaba una cerveza, algo de calor y algo de comida. Obtuve mucho más que esto, el lugar es especial, en 5 minutos me senté junto a un chico con el que luego procedí a hacerme amigo, así como a la multitud local que estaba muy feliz de incluirme, un extraño. . .Luego vino la comida, simplemente perfecto, comí aquí dos veces y las dos veces. . . perfecto Entonces, el personal que tengo que decir simplemente se hizo amigo. .Si quieres un hogar fuera de casa, risas, compañía fantástica y no tener que gastar una fortuna, mira este lugar.El camino a casa fue hilarante!

Me and my girlfriend came for a Sunday lunch and it was an outstanding meal for a very good price. The beef and lamb were perfectly cooked and the veg was on point as well. Really happy with the service and a big shout out to the chefs. Definitely coming back.

Stopped here with no booking for a late lunch - nice food, service was good, albeit it seemed to be a bit short staffed. Nice country pub, shortish menu - but all nicely executed. I am not a fan of extras - if you are paying £14 for a main course which does come with veg ( not sure why they want to charge for additional veg?). Would certainly eat here again and would recommend.

My girls love coming here for food. We've never had a bad experience, the food is always good and the service from the staff is always amazing. Any time we're going out for meals my two girls (5&9), always want to go here.

Another amazing Gluten Free friendly pub thanks to the Trip Advisor app. This time in the middle of nowhere a few miles out of Cardiff in South Wales, the Kings Arms in a small village called Pentyrch, the bartender quickly said we can swap any bread for gluten free and could offer gluten free chips. You could never of found this place other wise. Great food and a lovely bar setting. The app gave me many GF options near me with this one rated best. @celiaccyclist @kingsarmspentyrch #tripadvisor #glutenfree #celiac #celiacdisease #pentyrch #cardiff

Excellent meal. Steak meal was correctly cooked. Fish meals were piping hot and the batter lightly fried. Waitresses were very attentive and efficient. Well done!

We waited 90 minutes to be served one round of drinks and starters. The main courses arrived 15 minutes later. The staff could not give a tinkers cuss, and the place was not that busy. We asked for crayons for the kids, they never came. The server slid the food across the table with a disdain rarely seen , I think it was because we had the temerity to ask where our food was. By the time the mains came I was raging to the point where even if they had given me the food for free it would not be enough.

I go to this burger shop regularly, and the burgers are hands down the best I’ve ever had! They’re always cooked perfectly and packed with flavor, and their selection of cocktails is a great bonus. The relaxed atmosphere makes it an ideal spot to unwind with friends. I can’t recommend it enough—this place never disappoints!
