Pear Tree in Cardiff

Ordered the steak medium. It was cooked well. The chips were nice, mushrooms were missing and the peas were inedible. The server spent so long chatting to friends on the next table she forgot the mustard I asked for. Only giving it 4* as the steak was lovely.

Food is just average. The staff is not that friendly and they seem quite annoyed all the time. Used to be much better a few years ago. Now it's just a very average pub.

Staff will leave you standing at the bar for ten minutes, will chat amongst themselves then will refuse service when you interrupt their conversation.

Food was lovely but we were served by the most miserable barmaid with a proper attitude problem. We scanned the barcode on menu to order off the app and when food was served we were told we weren't supposed to order off the app. There were no signs saying this and when I pointed to the menu to show her it she grabbed it off table almost took my partners eye out then rolled her eyes and stormed off. Won't be returning. 29/09/24 @ 3pm

Nice pub , need more choice of Beers

Great atmosphere, full or empty. Best when live jazz is being played

Visited here with my husband and daughter for a Sunday roast a couple of weeks ago and it was brilliant. The service was really good, portion sizes spot on and the beef in particular was really good. They also had a nice beer garden and outside seating area which was nice for enjoying a bottle of wine after the meal. Will definitely return if staying in the area again in the future.

Lovely place, food was so good and we had the best time can recommend loads off menu. We were looked after so well and will definitely recommend to others!!

Fantastic place, food was amazing and we were very well l9oked after. Definitely recommend.

Booked a table for a family birthday. A fee of us had the steak and we were all so happy with our food! Steak was cooked perfectly. Very good drinks selection. We had a great night thanks to the staff who were friendly and very helpful. Will definitely be coming back.

Great atmosphere friendly polite staff and owners Lovely food great pint or two lol Will be back soon on a friend's night out

Lovely atmosphere and good service I enjoyed the sausage and mash!

Met up with friends before heading to town, warm and friendly atmosphere and food looked amazing. Not on our agenda this time but will definitely be back to give it a try.

What a lovely pub, called by just as I was passing through. Great pint and friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble. Will call in again

Great place to eat and drink. Staff are friendly and attentive.

What a wonderful evening in such a lovely place. Excellent service!

Lovely atmosphere and food We felt so at home we didn't want to leave lol

Excellent service and great beer!

Really good service here. Great drinks and a great evening had. Will definitely return!!

Nice little pub, bit pricey in comparison and bar staff could look a bit happier 😀

Only had one drink, was OK but seemed expensive.

Came here for a meeting and had a lovely coffee. Staff were really friendly and service was quick. I didnt try the food this time but definitely will next time I'm in the area!

Good food and drink. Service excellent too.

Excellent operators, running a popular and brilliant pub. Lovely food, served by well trained, friendly staff. Perfect, thank you.

as a local, The Pear Tree used to be ok but has seriously gone downhill. The toilets are disgusting now (one had zero paper, the other didn't have a toilet seat, horrible/offensive graffiti all over the walls, water all over the floor.) Just feels like a dive now. For somewhere charging £6 a pint, you'd think there would be effort or reason to justify such prices.

Just popped in for lunch and chose the Ultimate Veggie Burger. One of the best I have had in a long while. It included super tasty cauliflower bites and cheese sauce. Gorgeous! And the fries were super crispy with a tasty salsa on the side. Accompanied by a delicious New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. A great lunch!

Get the pulled pork loaded fries with a side of wings - you will not regret it! We go here at least once a week for the delicious chippies and coffee. Staff are also great :)

Over priced and too upmarket for this side of the city.

We selected the Thursday evening food & drink deal - Steak and a drink. The food choices were sirloin or rump steaks or gammon. I ordered one rump and one sirloin, and was told that there was only rump available. I changed the order. Then I ordered drinks. Of the draught drinks in the offer, there was NO lager available, only cider or real ale. I was told I could 'upgrade' to a different lager for £1. I don't find that acceptable and feel that if no lagers from the deal list were available, then an alternative should be offered at the same price. When our meal came it was reasonable value for money in terms of portion size and quality. However the experience of eating it was poor since apparently the pub has 'no steak knives'. We interacted with the same bar person / server throughout this experience, and honestly I felt she couldn't have cared less.

Popped in for a pint before a "Nearly Dan " concert at the Globe just down the road. Weather was nice so we sat outside. Good pint and nice atmosphere.

I used to love this place but now the upstairs area is cordoned off until the evening and you can't have coffee or tea either later on. Why do you turn customers away?

The food and service very good value.. unfortunately there were 2 old guys talking loudly and constantly using the f word..we couldn't move tables as they were all occupied.. they're obviously regulars as it isn't the first time it's happened..we weren't the only customers who found it disturbing..why the proprietors haven't addressed this situation we find really puzzling..we won't be going back.

I had a delightful experience at The pearl Tree where I enjoyed a delicious cup of coffee and my partner a refreshing pint of San Miguel. The combination of the rich, bold flavors of the coffee and the crisp, smooth taste of the the beer was truly satisfying. The atmosphere was inviting and the service was excellent, making it a memorable and enjoyable outing, The weather is nice . I would definitely recommend The Pear Tree to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable beverage experience.

Food was lush, served quickly, really nice pub to have a chilled lunch at

We came on for pre gig drinks. We found the experience very pleasant and the staff very friendly and helpful.

Food was amazing and staff are really helpful and welcoming, Would 100% recommend and will be eating there again

Great food, atmosphere is good, staff friendly and attentive.

Was not even that busy still had to wait 1 hour for food We forgot to order dessert and was told would be another hour wait Very bad service

Food took nearly an hour and half to come while other tables were served!! Staff was very told when we asked if the table could be wiped down as it had a spilled drink on it from a previous customer!

Great pub, friendly staff, definitely recommend

Amazing food and amazing friendly service. Such a good family and dog friendly place to go.

Popped in here for a few drinks on a Saturday afternoon. Was quite busy but there was a nice atmosphere, with a family feel.

Always a warm welcome and delicious food

Visited the Pub for a few Pints before a Gig at the "Globe," which is nearby ... Nice surroundings and reasonably priced ... Would go again next time in the area.

Good pub but the toilets are dire!! Come on sort them out!!!

Went out last night and popped into a few locals, this venue we were passing so headed in and it was lovely. Nice atmosphere, and calm in there. Bar staff was lovely and perched up in a corner and supped our drinks for an hour. Will come back to try food next time, menu sounded great

Went to pear tree for a drink on a Saturday night and all the staff were rude and couldn’t care about any of their guests. Decided to give it another go for a Sunday roast and got there after booking well in advance, to find out there were no roasts left. When mentioned to staff that we were disappointed yet again they couldn’t care less and didn’t make us feel welcome.

Booked a table for Sunday roast only to be told on arrival that they aren't doing roasts for the whole month of January, which wasn't advertised anywhere online. Not the end of the world, however the menus had food stuck to them, there were dirty wet wipes on the table, no toilet roll at all in the gents, no dairy alternatives for coffee, and several items we ordered not available. Usually enjoy visiting this pub but it's become clear the place needs new management to run it better.

We came here for a late lunch this afternoon around 2 o'clock . According to the menu, they serve lunch till 3pm. However, we were told the chef had taken a break already and no food would be served! We were so disappointed and had to pay for the drinks we ordered before we left.

Excellent food served promptly. Very impressed that food was piping hot and served as requested good choice of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Great tasting coffee. Staff were attentive and helpful.

Things missing off of menu but what they had was very nice.

Loved the atmosphere of the pub, rustic furniture looks fab. We wanted to bring our dog and it was very relaxing having her there. The lady behind the bar even brought fresh water over for her without being asked. Service was excellent- one staff member seemed to be doing everything and she was great, very friendly and helpful. Really nice food (prawn salad and southern chicken followed by sticky toffee pudding) My son lives nearby and we will definitely be back xx

If you would like to feel undervalued, be served a glass of wine @£9.95 in a warm tumbler and visit dirty toilets without toilet roll, this is the place for you. Tbf- after a protracted conversation with the supervisor she did agree to refund the wine, which I happily returned. This was one of Brains Premium Outlets, which did charge premium prices, the service under Brains was excellent. You were welcomed at the door, dogs fussed and given treats and water and there were adequate staff on busy Friday & Saturday nights. Marstons are charging the premium prices however the service is well below par. We certainly won’t be visiting again anytime soon.

Great atmosphere, good food and very good service.

Absolutely shocking to have one very hard working bar staff at a lunchtime, taking orders, making coffee and serving food. The management need to be replaced with someone with competence. No good coming here if you’re hungry and thirsty!!!!

Pints are quite overpriced but we had friendly service from the bar staff and the place was nice and busy so the atmosphere was decent on a Saturday night.

Only popped in for a quick pint on this occasion

Efficient service, despite there being no fish the alternative was good and there was no long wait

Can't comment on food as only popped in for a pint

We asked for a rump steak to be cooked medium rare and it was more medium to well done and very, very tough, two x fish and chips - very few chips and the fish was flat rather than big chunks and burger and chips - small portion and average. Would not recommend.

Fantastic local bar, really friendly staff and an array of offers

A nice pub just up the road from the live music venue, The Globe. We wanted to stop and grab something to eat beforehand and a great little spot to stop and grab some food and a pint. Spiral stairs to upper floor and spiral stair down to toilets so not great if you have mobility issues. My fish and chips were great but some of our party said it was not so great so 4 stars.

Booked a table for 7:30, paid for a taxi, bought a drink and then told no tables can be booked on Sundays! Tell that to my booking reference! Awful experience, bank holiday weekend in tatters! Family in tears!

A group of us came here on a busy Friday evening. Waited a while at the bar, asked for a glass of wine and was told no wine glasses available at the moment and he offered half a pint glass!! For an overpriced £9 glass of wine I would appreciate a glass. Glass was brought to table and was warm as just came out of dishwasher. Not great if drinking a cold rose. Then the worst part. My hunters chicken.... very dry. A few luke warm chips, 2 tiny onion rings, a tiny side salad (lettuce) and the smallest amount of bbq sauce and cheese on the chicken it was basically a dry chicken breast as the sauce had just soaked into it. The chef should be embarrassed. So tight on portions!! I asked for some more bbq sauce expecting them to bring over a warm bowl from the kitchen but instead had a Heinz bbq bottle plonked down! Awful, overpriced experience. Will not be returning.

Cancelled our two week old booking on the day. Not impressed. Had been looking forward to celebrating my birthday with friends.

Very friendly staff. The food was good. Loved the warm baguettes

Dog friendly and nice space for seating outdoor area is on the main road by lights as not designed for outdoor area

Good atmosphere, good food and good service

A decent pub with good range of beer. Moretti on tap, and guinness

Seems a little more expensive than the surrounding bars but it is a nice pub.

Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious pub food.

Really good service all round. Set up is nice with the open window option. Effort was made with the table reservation Barrel went and the drink was then bought to the table rather than wait at the bar. Staff were fab

Very nice place to go lovely food even the dog was excepted in not many places do that will be going again

Very pleasant , nice e coffee too

Great experience friendly accommodating staff and perfect to bring the whole family even the dogs

excellent service with friendly staff with great meals really well presented. Great that it is dog friendly as well perfect to bring every part of the family.

We had a really bad experience at The Pear Tree. A lot of the menu wasn't available (although we weren't told this when we arrived) so we ended up having our 3rd choice meals. When our food did eventually arrive, my veggie chilli was cold, it was served with pilau rice which is quite odd, and the portion of the chilli itself was tiny (maybe a tbsp). They also didn't bring the guacamole that was meant to come with it. My friend's medium rare steak was more medium to well done than medium rare. We didn't mention any of this to the waitress as the service up until that point hadn't been very good. Fine for a drink but won't be going back to eat.

Great place for drink and food and a quiz on Sunday nights

After a dismal experience at the Juno Lounge in the same street, we visited The Pear Tree. What a difference. The staff at The Pear Tree were cheerful, helpful and friendly. That is all that is needed. Service is everything. Thank you Pear Tree.

Friendly atmosphere good range of beverages comfortable seating really enjoyed my visit there albeit a brief one ..dog friendly

Lovely surroundings good cheerful service, great food

A great place to sit and watch the world Go by

First time visit great atmosphere being on a main road food was good had the mixed grill will be going again

Booked a table for 2 ,and baby ..food was lovely as always, staff were polite,and asked if everything was OK...Definitely a place to go back to which we are planning for the 25th May

Great atmosphere, first timers. Met up with friends before moving on!! Friendly staff good selection of beers. A nice place.

Great beer, menu and environment

Good beer good vibe what's not to like?

Lady at the bar very nice nothing to much trouble food was OK nothing special only had water as been drinking all week

We walked past this pub and it looked really inviting so, of course, we had to go in. Good atmosphere, friendly service, not too crowded when we visited. Would love to return.

A lovely place, friendly staff and accesible prices Posto amabile, staff cordiale e gentile, prezzi accessibili

Popped in for a few drinks near closing time.. Had a few drinks and a nice chat with the landlord.. Will definitely go there again

Fairly quiet when I was there, so able to get a table easily. Good selection of reasonably priced beers.

It could do with a good clean, its starting to look a bit shabby

Only popped in for one,staff friendly and a nice atmosphere.

Staff were very helpful and the food was delicious and filling. Will definitely be coming back!

Always a great experience and time well spent at the Pear Tree.

My son and I enjoyed a lovely cooked breakfast. Affordable, good quality and delivered from friendly and professional staff. Mykala and Chris were wonderful and accommodating to all our needs.

Decent beer but the food was mediocre

My son and I went to this restaurant a week last Friday. We had been visiting there once a month for around 3 years. We had a dreadful experience. To start with my son ordered a burger, as he always does, he had to settle for a chicken burger as a substitute. I had ordered a chicken kiev. It was listed on the menu as coming with chips, a small salad and onion rings. When I pointed out that the onion rings were missing, he gave an excuse, which I didn't quite understand. I was neither offered very an alternative, an apology or a discount, which I thought was very unfair. We have since chosen another establishment for our monthly visits.
