Pen and Wig Pub in Cardiff

Our 2nd visit in a few weeks, sunday lunch the other week was delicous and service very good. We went again today and had a “buy-a gift” voucher to use. Manager was so helpful ( as a problem with the voucher) The food and service was excellent, will definately be returning with friends.

I had the vegetarian option....mushroom Wellington and veg.The Wellington was good and the baby potatoes reasonable if cold.But the rest of the veg:broccoli stem,carrot and parsnip were uneatable:tough and tasteless.

Absolutely disgraceful place . We only ordered garlic bread and chips and 2 glasses of wine, we were overcharged and the food was disgusting. The garlic bread was 2 pieces of toast with garlic on them, and cold chips . What type of place serves this . I think the chef if that’s what you can him must be an absolute moron . I wouldn’t go there again if it was free

We went to The Pen and Wig for a family lunch including Charlie our dog . We had a great experience in fact so much so we were back 2 days later. The food was great hot and plenty of it. In fact it was the best veggie burger I have eaten!! Even Charlie had a selection to choose from there was also blankets, towels and toys for him. The service we had was great. Recommend a visit here especially if you have a four legged family member

Great welcome 😊 we had a dog with us, food was amazing and staff were fabulous a really lovely pub hidden away with a friendly atmosphere would definitely recommend it and will definitely be back 😊

Best roast dinner in Cardiff!! Fantastic service and fantastic food. We ordered the trio which included Turkey, Pork and Beef. The meat melted in our mouths and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The Yorkshire puddings were the best I’ve ever had in a pub and the gravy was spot on. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Had an absolutely amazing roast dinner here on Sunday. The lamb shank was exceptional with the added bonus of unlimited yorkshires, roasties and gravy. Staff were very friendly and helpful and there was such a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely eat here again!

Came with my family for Sunday lunch and even though we hadn't booked (I would advise booking!) Jon, the manager, found us a lovely table in the front bay window. The food was served quickly and was hot and delicious. Would highly recommend, excellent service all around.

Husband had lamb shank, he said it was cooked to perfection. I had the mushroom wellington, it was the tastiest Sunday roast I’ve eaten out in a long time. Love that you can have unlimited gravy, Yorkshires and roasties. Will be back soon. Great service too.

Exceptional service. Sunday roast was delicious and unlimited gravy, yorkie puds and roasties. Highly recommend !!

Sunday roast was amazing, and amazing customer care! Couldn’t recommend more!! Will always go here for a roast!

Popped in on a Sunday afternoon before dinner elsewhere. First time in here and really liked the place Pub is very nice and very clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Beer garden was lovely - we particularly liked the things in place for dogs.. Only negative if you can call it that was 6.50 a beer... But other than that a nice couple of hours spent in there. Definitely be visiting again

Day of our 12 year old dog’s lives & a great end to a 7 day holiday in Wales. Such a lovely warm welcome from the 2 ladies on the bar for all of us (Nana, grumpy, Dax 4yrs) Lexi (12) Luther (12)) 2 adults 1 child 2 dogs. The dog menu made our day 😊 The food was great, the place and the people even better. Would definitely go back if we visit Wales again. Thank you 🥰

I booked the Pen and Wig via opentable.com. Their menu looked good and they had good reviews. We were late arriving so I rang to let them know. They held the table with no issue. The pub is in a quiet road just outside the city centre. We were fortunate that a member of our party who has a disabled parking badge was able to park right outside and there were disabled toilets on the ground floor. The food arrived really promptly and was very tasty, especially the deserts! They were really delicious and the portion size was generous. You could easily share a desert or try the mini ones. The staff were really friendly and helpful. I will would/will definitely go there again.

We came here as a family for Sunday Lunch, It was amazing! The meat on the Lunch was tender and fresh and the roasties/yorkshire pudding top up was a great touch. Lovely staff, great beers will definetely be back again soon!

Tucked away, this place is fantastic. A proper pub with cask ales. Called in on the off chance for Sunday Lunch and were treated to a delicious Sunday roast. Friendly staff attentive but not overbearing. This place must be one of Cardiff’ best kept secrets. Definitely will be back especially for the Sunday lunch.

This is a very popular City - centre bar with a friendly "local" feel about it. It's where gaggles of students rub shoulders with after work "pen - pushers" in perfect harmony. On a sunny day the fairly large beer garden is a terrific place to people watch whilst sinking a few pints of welsh IPA. Oh, and the food's not too shabby either.

Lovely, decently priced food and drinks. Very dog friendly - loved the treats you had for our dogs! Wonderful way to spend an hour in the sun.

Great little pub near the city centre. We always enjoy it here. Staff are some of the best, friendly and excellent service. A great range of beers and good food.

Not enjoyable. Pumps on the larger need cleaning - tangy taste. Chicken skewer starter was like a boiled chicken breast, very bland and unenjoyable. One of us had the beef Sunday dinner which was very over cooked, one had the lamb which was advertised like a lamb shank but had 4 chunks of what seemed like stewing lamb piled onto the undercooked veg. Over priced and very disappointing.

I was recommended this place by my friends and it is safe to say it did not disappoint! My roast beef dinner was spot on. Succulent meat, lots of veg and free top ups on potatoes, yorkshires and gravy was great value. The staff were very friendly and helped me find the perfect beer to enjoy with my meal. Will definetely be returning!

Good food and a nice garden. Quick service too. Would have been nice to not do all via an app and get some service but was fine.

Well what can I say we where given a warm welcome when we got there we did not book there covid regs where gd every member of staff wearing masks and where nice plus we where able to take are dog in which was gd the food was gd one of the best foods I've had in a pub they even loved the dog which was nice defo going back thank you for making us feel welcome and for the dog friendly pub

Not allowed to book multiple tables I've never heard such nonsense in my life the customer service in this venue is appalling

My fav pub and Jon is a legend, best pub in Cardiff wouldn’t go anywhere else and has the best gin selection

Great service, very good gin selection! And I love the beer, Jon is an absolute legend and Pen and Wig has best hospitality in town.

Jon is the best. Best pub in Cardiff 10/10. Staff are lovely :) the Gin selection is really good :).

So this pub is very nice- has a good heater! 10/10 would recommend good prices as well! They have a really good selection of gin ❤️

Had an absolutely blast at the pen and wig.Big thanks to the ledgend himself Jon, as well as Ellie and Ffion for making our night top notch! The pub felt very safe with all the covid-19 measures put in place! Thank you :), see you soon!

Pen & wig is such an amazing pub with a very chilled atmosphere! Their covid-19 measures made us feel super safe.The staff were second to none - special shout out to Ffion and Ellie for being super lovely and serving us all night and to the manager Jon (who is a legend) who made us feel very welcomed and ensured we had an amazing time! Thank you - we’ll be back very soon!

I went for my first drink outside with a friend since March last night and the Pen & Wig have got their Covid protocols perfectly in place. A strict and regimented list of rules that keeps their customers and staff safe. You use an app and they deliver to your table. I felt really safe and comfortable! Well done guys!

Visitamos hoy para almorzar y encontramos el servicio y la comida fantásticos. Este tiene que ser el pub más limpio, seguro y acogedor en el que hemos estado durante el último año. Nuestro camarero no pudo hacer más por nosotros y nuestra comida llegó muy caliente y estaba absolutamente deliciosa. Sin duda volveremos y lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Decidimos venir aquí para probar un lugar en el que no habíamos comido antes y aprovechar el 50 por ciento de descuento, reservamos nuestra mesa y encontramos el servicio excelente, tuvimos un delicioso almuerzo y estuvimos muy contentos con nuestra fecha de almuerzo. Éramos las únicas personas allí, creo que hay dos razones por las que los Coronaviras y estaba lloviendo como el infierno, espero que puedan recuperarse y definitivamente volverán

Solo me he aventurado a ir a pubs algunas veces desde que reabrieron durante Covid - 19. Sobre todo porque, en general, parecen lugares muy inseguros, y la dirección de la mayoría de los pubs no está poniendo muy buenas medidas regulatorias. La mayoría no espacian sus mesas lo suficiente o se aseguran de que sus clientes cumplan con la regla de los 2 m.El Pen & Wig se siente extremadamente seguro desde el momento de su llegada. Garantizan el seguimiento y la localización, y dejan en claro que solo debe reunirse con personas de su hogar o hogares extendidos. Todas las mesas están claramente espaciadas y se le dice que no se levante a menos que vaya al baño o se levante para irse. Lo han hecho para que sus baños sigan un sistema de un solo sentido, abriendo la salida de incendios, para que no tenga que pasar personas en las escaleras. Hay una aplicación que debe usar para pedir bebidas, y todo el personal lleva máscaras.Debe reservar con anticipación y, si les llama, puede solicitar una mesa interior o exterior (probablemente también debería poder solicitarla en línea).La aplicación es muy simple de usar, el único inconveniente es que me encantaba ir a este pub por todas sus diferentes cervezas y sidras que tenían de barril. Mientras que ahora no los tienen disponibles porque tendrían que actualizar constantemente la aplicación. Creo que deberían tener una cerveza para invitados diferente y una sidra de barril disponible, y luego un tablón de anuncios en la puerta para informarle cuál es todos los días. Esto puede ser un poco complicado ya que obviamente el precio podría cambiar. Pero es una pena que no puedan hacer esto posible, porque no a muchos bebedores de cerveza real les gusta estar limitados a las opciones de Greene King IPA y Brains Reverend James.No he utilizado su servicio de comida para llevar para comida y bebida, pero es bueno tener la opción disponible, considerando su proximidad a Bute Park.

¡Vinimos por un asado y encontramos plástico en el puré de papas! Le pregunté al gerente si pagaría la comida con plástico y dijo que sí. ¡También dijo que te dimos una pinta que deberíamos estar felices! ¡pero somos pareja y nos sentimos bastante asqueados por su respuesta! ¡Solo nos descontaron una comida!

Disfrutamos de una cena familiar aquí. Comimos afuera; las mesas estaban bien espaciadas y el personal del pub se tomaba en serio sus responsabilidades para garantizar que los clientes estuvieran seguros y cumplieran con las regulaciones. Fueron amables pero al mismo tiempo asertivos con los clientes que parecían pensar que no necesitaban adherirse a las pautas. Se proporcionó desinfectante de manos y se fomentó su uso.La comida era muy buena, aunque nos decepcionó que algunas de nuestras primeras opciones no estuvieran disponibles; estaba ansioso por la pierna de cordero, pero supongo que los artículos más caros se habían ido rápidamente debido a la iniciativa 'Comer fuera para ayudar' . Hacer pedidos fue una combinación de uso de una aplicación móvil y cara a cara; Es una lástima que la empresa matriz no se haya puesto de acuerdo con obtener todas las bebidas disponibles (o la oferta a mitad de precio) en la aplicación.¡Debido a que era una noche más fresca, los calentadores de patio fueron realmente apreciados!

Después de visitar el Brewhouse and Kitchen anoche, que fue desastroso en la primera noche de apertura, The Pen and Wig fue fantástico. Muy bien organizado, distanciamiento social mantenido en todo momento tanto por el personal como por los clientes. Fuimos bienvenidos, el perro no fue un problema, el sistema unidireccional era claro, la limpieza era frecuente y evidente. La comida era fantástica, el personal era amable y relajado, el polo opuesto a la noche anterior. No podría recomendar más aquí, todos nos sentimos seguros, relajados y lo pasamos muy bien. Pen and Wig enhorabuena: un éxito en tiempos difíciles.

Después de reservar una mesa para un viernes y un sábado por la noche, de repente recibí un correo electrónico el sábado, informándome de que mi reserva había sido cancelada. El correo electrónico decía que creían que era una reserva duplicada debido a que el viernes y el sábado estaban reservados, por lo que le dieron la mesa a otra persona sin consultarme, todo el mismo día en que debíamos ir allí para mis amigos 30 cumpleaños. . Como esto es durante la pandemia, todos los demás pubs están llenos y el cumpleaños número 30 de mis amigos se ha visto muy afectado.Después de enviarme un correo electrónico a Jon, me advirtió que no pueden devolverme mi mesa porque ahora están completamente llenas. Luego llamé para discutir esto por teléfono. Llamé unas 10 veces, lo cual no es un problema ya que está ocupado debido a covid 19. La undécima vez tuve suerte cuando Jon respondió, "perfecto", pensé para mí.Le pregunté a Jon por qué decidieron cancelar mi reservación debido a una reservación duplicada, y él dijo que no fue por una reservación duplicada, fue porque mis amigos y yo no seguimos los procedimientos de H&S traídos debido a la pandemia, el la trama se complica. . .En este momento quedó claro quién era Jon en realidad al conocerlo la noche anterior. Pareció haberle tomado un disgusto instantáneo con nuestro grupo en el momento en que nos conoció.Al dar sus razones para cancelar nuestra mesa, dijo que, no caminamos directamente a nuestra mesa al principio, nos paramos junto a otras mesas y hicimos demasiado ruido, y debido a nuestro comportamiento no estábamos en voz alta para regresar lo siguiente día. Esto habría sido aceptable para mí, si sus razones fueran ciertas.Para resumir, solo nos quedamos cerca de "nuestra" mesa y no por mucho tiempo, ya que solo buscábamos estirar las piernas, pero nunca nos acercábamos a nadie más. Jon solo se comunicó con nosotros dos veces después de mostrarnos nuestros asientos pidiéndonos que estuviéramos más callados, lo cual nos confundió un poco ya que sentimos que no estábamos siendo más ruidosos que los demás y no estábamos siendo groseros ni interrumpiendo el tiempo de nadie más, como Soy alguien que no aprecia los grupos groseros demasiado ruidosos. Jon no se comunicó ni nos instruyó, podemos apreciar que es difícil instruir a las personas durante una pandemia, pero Jon, lamentablemente, no hizo ningún esfuerzo para apoyar el nuevo sistema de procedimientos, y simplemente decidió fruncir el ceño y actuó de manera muy poco amistosa durante la duración de nuestra estadía. .Afortunadamente no le hicimos caso a Jon y seguimos disfrutando de la noche. Jon nos dijo más tarde que hay una reserva a las 10 en punto, así que tendremos que irnos entonces. Más tarde descubrimos que las 10 en punto eran las últimas órdenes, así que esa fue la primera mentira. Seguido de su correo electrónico para mí sobre la cancelación de una supuesta reserva doble doble (que admitió por teléfono no era la razón real), seguido de una exageración excesiva de cosas que nunca habíamos hecho. Otro amigo y yo incluso pagamos por una bebida en la aplicación, que luego me dijo que no vendría después de los últimos pedidos, esto es bastante justo, pero todavía no me han reembolsado esa bebida que nunca recibí.Abordé todas sus acusaciones por teléfono, pero dijo que todavía no le damos una reserva de una manera muy terca y decidida, desafortunadamente se convirtió en algo personal para jon, y estaba decidido a cancelar nuestra reserva independientemente de cualquier motivo.No soy de las malas críticas, pero nunca antes me habían tratado tan injustamente, sin justificación. Todos estábamos tan desconcertados por las payasadas de Jon que asumimos que podría habernos confundido con otra persona, pero luego miramos hacia atrás en lo grosero que fue en cada encuentro el día anterior y pensamos, oh, es posible que simplemente no le agrademos. Supongo que algunas personas sienten aversión instantánea por la gente por muy pocas razones, y parece que eso es lo que sucedió aquí.La camarera y el servicio fue muy bueno, fue nuestro desafortunado encuentro con Jon lo que empeoró nuestra noche, al igual que nuestros amigos el 30 cumpleaños. Todo lo que puedo esperar es que alguien tenga una palabra severa con él, para que Jon pueda aprender el error de sus caminos. Buena suerte, Jon.

Primera visita a un pub desde marzo. Reservamos un espacio de 2 horas un sábado por la tarde. La organización fue realmente excelente. Desinfectante disponible gratuitamente y recomendado.Todas las mesas de exterior bien separadas con una excelente limpieza entre clientes. Los pedidos se realizaron mediante la aplicación, al igual que el pago y el servicio fue rápido y agradable. Sistema unidireccional para los baños.Realmente impresionado con las medidas de Covid tomadas aquí.

El gerente Jon fue muy grosero y nos hizo sentir a mí y a mi grupo no deseados desde la segunda vez que llegamos. La peor experiencia de pub que he tenido gracias a Jon.

Ese fue el título más aburrido de una revisión, pero de verdad, estaba muy impresionado con la forma en que operaron. La taberna al aire libre es excelente de todos modos, pero han espaciado las mesas de una manera que mantiene a todos a salvo. Antes de que ingresáramos, un miembro del personal les dio a todos una explicación de cómo funcionaba todo, incluido el sistema unidireccional, desinfectantes de manos, etc. El pub usa una aplicación que le permite ordenar desde su mesa, pero si como yo, su teléfono es un montón de basura , también hacen servicio de mesa. Todo el tiempo había un miembro del personal corriendo por el lugar, limpiando superficies. La mayoría de las mesas están cubiertas por un techo, por lo que incluso si está lloviendo se puede disfrutar al aire libre. Hicieron todo lo posible para hacer las cosas seguras. Todavía sirven comida y bebida, pero con un menú un poco limitado, pero eso está absolutamente bien. Eran el ejemplo perfecto de un establecimiento responsable y otros bares podrían aprender un par de cosas de ellos.

My wife and In have just returned from our 1st pub visit since lockdown. Yes, it's different but the whole set-up was brilliantly organised and managed. Whilst setting up the "track and trace" and ordering from the table via an app was a bit of a pain for us "oldies", we got there in the end and everything operated so well.Congratulations to the management and staff on great service and strict adherence to Welsh Government guidelines on social distancing. It made us feel really comfortable particularly compared to the scenes we saw in "Bumbling Boris'" London last weekend.Well done!

Flat lager, rude staff and a terrible, terrible atmosphere. If you are not a 'regular' you will be sadly overlooked.

El personal fue bastante grosero cuando mi amigo se quejó de la pale ale de Nueva Zelanda diciendo que sabía raro y desagradable, le dijeron que no tenía nada de malo a pesar de haberlo probado en el bar y luego en la mesa y era claramente el fondo del barril. . No le ofrecí ninguna opción, solo le dije que no hay nada que puedan hacer. Más bien decepcionado con el personal.

Had a evening in Peg & Wig met our friends there after match & the pub was bouncing was a really good atmosphere & bar staff were brilliant also food was great a real nice change from City pubs after a big match

This was close to our accommodation and had a late license.Staff were friendly and a good selection of drinks.Despite a busy night staff served quickly and were attentive.We thought it was a great place to end the day without the real energy of central Cardiff.

This place is right for drinks, and back in Feb a few other friends and I came here for afternoon drinks before the Ireland V England game. Drinks are expensive, but the staff and decor of this place are excellent.

Great Night. 1st ever visit (11/10/2019) met with a few friends for brunch. staff very friendly & helpful, food was top quality & reasonably priced. recommend

Had a fab night here (Tuesday 8/10/19) for a works gathering, the service was very prompt and friendly with ample staff on hand to serve. We chose a Tuesday for Quiz Night. There was lots to choose from the menu, also cater for vegan and gluten free, the food arrived fast and piping hot. After tasty meals we made 2 teams of 5 and enjoyed a few hours of competition and banter. I would recommend and visit again. Thank you to the Pen & Wig Team for your warm welcome and hospitality.

This a regular place for us to meet friends after work, have leaving meals and our start place for a proper night out. Theres plenty of under cover area which is great for smokers or to still be able to sit outside when we have our usual typical weather.

Just popped in for lunch, food was good and reasonably priced. Staff could not be more helpful and attentive. As a vegetarian there was options for me which was pleasantly surprising. The desserts were fantastic! Thank you!

A lovely welcoming pub within the legal district of Cardiff city center. Has a spacious beer garden in rear of establishment, and a small seating area out front. Food menu is quite unique compared to many other pubs in that it offers a modern spin to traditional pub grub. The prices are very affordable and the quality is excellent. Wide range of real ales and spirits. On street car parking available. Free WiFi. Highly recommended.

I joined some friends at this place for a leaving do. They had a reserved table. My friends went outside for a cigarette, leaving me, as a non smoker, looking after the table. A waiter appeared and without asking took a chair from our table. I pointed out that someone was sitting there, and rather than put the chair back, he replaced it with a chair from someone else’s table- the person at the other table pointed out that the seat was for his friend who was at the bar and the waiter shouted at him. He then came back to my table and shouted “happy now?” At me. I was nothing but polite but was met with nothing but aggression. It seemed like the waiter was interested in a woman who sat at the new table and wanted to suck up to her at the expense of the (9) people sitting at the other tables. I have never encountered such aggression, rudeness and unprofessional behaviour from a waiter before

Mi esposa y yo fuimos a ella el año pasado por mi cumpleaños, la selección de cervezas tradicionales es excelente, el camarero fue muy informativo y me dejó probar cervezas diferentes, él fue excelente, comimos una hamburguesa y papas fritas, eso también fue delicioso, excelente pub , gran personal y agradable ambiente, me encanta!

Vaya timo. Esperamos más de media hora un 12 para un pequeño tipo de McDonald's, procesamos una hamburguesa con papas que parecían anemia y ni siquiera conseguimos un cuchillo y un tenedor o una servilleta. No podía comer mis papas fritas y la única razón por la que comí mi hamburguesa es porque no había comido en todo el día. También las pintas son increíblemente caras. Realmente decepcionado.

Visité con mi hija y mi nieto en un sábado por la noche, reservamos, para la comida.

Visitamos anoche para comida y bebidas antes del show, la comida era REALMENTE Buena, todos de nuestro grupo disfrutamos. El personal es amable y servicial, con una gran variedad de cervezas de barril, en general, un lugar fantástico donde reunirse para comer y beber, una preciosa cervecería al aire libre para el verano.

Came across this pub by accident and was so impressed we went twice on the same day - earlier for lunch when our burgers were very good and then later for a few more drinks. Very friendly staff, too!

Great little pub with a huge selection of beers. Friendly staff and a very welcoming atmosphere. I struggle to find a good boozer in Cardiff, and I’d drink here anytime.

You are no longer the budget student pub that you once were (£11 for a steak, £12 for belly pork...) so please consider changing your value, bog standard chips.

Had Sunday lunch last week, the starters were incredible and the staff were lovely! When the main came, the gravy was unfortunately thick, the vegetables and potatoes had obviously been frozen and the meat was dry, was very over priced for what we got. Generally love this pub but unsure if would return for Sunday lunch!

Discovered on the off chance this place is a great little find. Staff are ever so friendly, which makes a pleasant change these days! Good choice of real ales and cider, including various Welsh varieties. Food was excellent and everyone in our party rated it excellent, especially the Wagyu beef burger! Would definitely come here again and recommend it to anyone.

We arrived for Sunday lunch and werebt disappointed. I'd emailed before as we had a vegan dining and wanted to make sure they could cater for them. They were very friendly and immediately offered numerous dishes. Very reasonable prices as well, we had 8 clean plates!

We visited the Pen and Wig as a group of 4 for Sunday Lunch. We had a table booked for 2.30pm, but arrived at 2pm to have a drink prior to our food.

Excellent pub with anvextensivevrange of real beers. I wish I had eaten as drooled at all the lovely plates of food being brought out quickly considering how busy it was. Froendly staff and lovely beers

Teníamos una mesa para 10 personas reservada después de la Media Maratón, así que estábamos listos para una buena comida y una pinta cuando llegamos allí. Estaba muy ocupado como era de esperar, pero nos sirvieron rápidamente en el bar y solo tuvimos que esperar un poco para nuestra comida. La mayoría de nosotros tenía el asado que todos disfrutamos, viene con una buena selección de verduras y también puede agregar cerdos en mantas. ¡Buen toque! Definitivamente volvería y lo recomendaría a otros

No podría criticar nuestro almuerzo de domingo. El servicio fue fantástico con Dan e Isabel cuidando de nosotros y la comida era deliciosa. El pub es genial, con una gran selección de cervezas y licores (creo que tienen más de 50 gins!) Y el ambiente era encantador. Sin duda volvería.

Gran selección de cervezas. Buen menú de pub. La comida no es excepcional, pero bueno, sin embargo. Ambiente acogedor. Un montón de asientos al aire libre. Calentadores y mantas para cuando esté picado. Ocupado en un sábado por la noche. Bueno para grupos más grandes. Nos alojamos de 17:00 a casi 23:00 y tuvimos una gran noche.

Después de ver una foto de la cena de asado que se muestra en el sitio web, todos tuvimos altas expectativas para nuestro almuerzo, sin embargo, estas expectativas no se cumplieron. El personal es muy amable, no les puedo criticar. Estaban sin carne para el asado, que estaba bien, ya que ninguno de nosotros lo quería, pero nos decepcionó un poco que también estuvieran sin relleno. Tal como se describe en el menú, la comida debe venir con papas asadas y chirivías, aunque ninguno de nosotros recibió chirivías que tal vez se olvidaron o simplemente fue otra cosa que no tenían. Cuando se trata de su "selección de salsas", se puede esperar algo de salsa de manzana, salsa de menta o rábano picante como acompañamiento tradicional a un asado, sin embargo, no tenían ninguno de estos. Las salsas que nos presentaron eran ketchup, mayonesa y mostaza. Estas pueden ser salsas tradicionales para algunas personas, sin embargo no es lo que esperaba. El asado estaba bien, una verdura hervida simple que podría haber sido sazonada, carne hecha y lo que parecían pudines de Yorkshire congelados, y la "salsa de vino tinto" tenía un sabor muy similar al de Bisto.

What a gem of a place. Great real ales, proper pub and good service. Food looked good, but didn’t eat here so unfair to comment. Lovely autumn Sunday afternoon beer in the beer garden - couldn’t fault it

A short walk from where we abandoned the kids was a pub we had not visited before. The pub has a great range of ales and big beer garden at the rear. They served food until ten. The food was enjoyed by all as was the choice of beers. I would go again.

It was my grandmothers birthday and sadly my grandfather passed away this year so it was always going to be a tough one. She wanted to go somewhere quiet with no fuss and where she could also take her dog Rosie. We looked online and stumbled across the Pen and Wig as a dog friendly pub, very close to the museum so easily accessible parking, and therefore decided to visit.. and what a visit it was! The lady on the bar was extremely friendly and picked a nice quiet table by the window which is exactly what we asked for. The waiter was also very friendly and promptly brought over a bowl of water on arrival for our dogs Olive and Rosie. We ordered our main meals which were served quickly and to a high standard and were delicious! The fish and chips was huge and definitely worth ordering if you ever visit! Our tables were then cleared promptly and we were offered further drinks.

John and Louis were really good and way above me looks wise. I’m 49 with my partner and thy made us both feel special.

Si trova appena fuori la zona più trafficata di Cardiff e forse per questo è più tranquillo e meno caro. É dog friendly e molto carino all'interno (sul retro ha anche tavoli per stare fuori), si mangia bene e l'accoglienza è calorosa. Consigliato.

1 hr 15 min to receive main meal when only about 25 people in the pub. They just didn't have enough staff to deal with a low volume and a quiet day. The food was cold as well.

Decent place to go for a quiet pint or two early to mid pm (especially if thinking of eating) but can get rather busy once offices start to shut up shop. Location is good; central if slightly hidden away.

Simply outrageous prices for average food and beer. Another Stonegate scam. Avoid avoid avoid. They raise their prices almost on a weekly basis.

Visiting Cardiff for the weekend and popped into The Pen and Wig, hidden away with a lovely welcome and range of beers. Soaked up the sun and our meals of calamari and pulled beef croquettes hit the mark. Looking forward to coming back.

Nice traditional pub, great selection of beers. The food is average in both taste and price. Excellent beer garden.

Visited here with some friends from New Zealand. Haven't actually been here before. Really impressed with the selection of beers. A little bit pricey but it was better than just going to your average spoons!

The Pen and Wig is tucked away in a side street near the museum and is a great hidden away place to know about. Extremely popular with university staff and students. They appear to have a great menu though I haven't yet treated myself to a meal. Instead, it's my favourite place to go for an after work drink. Prices are reasonable with a good selection of drinks and the pub itself is really cosy. Popular in the summer for its beer garden but just as equally a good cosy winter pub. Great atmosphere and great place to meet colleagues after work. Can get busy though and sometimes takes a while to get served - but that's down to its popularity.

Don’t bother going after 7pm on a Friday or Saturday - place is rammed with students and staff are in no rush to serve! Very disappointing.

I've been going to the Pen & Wig for a while but never eating there, the food didn't disappoint. Lovely pub, great beer garden! One of Cardiffs best spots.

Sulle pareti quadri di giudici imparruccati e frasi in latino sulla legge. Sicuramente diverso dai soliti pub. Vasta la scelta del cibo e buone le birre. Merita sicuramente una capatina.

Nice temperature. Food okay. Good bar staff. Beer good. People good. Furniture acceptable. Toilets functional.

As a keen ale drinker this little pub is one of my favourites when visiting the city centre from Penarth. They always have a vast array of ale ready to serve, you really can’t fault it. The pub itself is cosy and well maintained and the beer garden is just impeccable, though I do hope those building works behind them have gone by the summer!!!!

The food here is pretty good 'pub' food for the price. Had the 2 meals for £12 risotto which was nice but the only veggie option.

Usually the service is good but totally not so... I had to wait over 40 mins for my food and considering I was on my lunch break that’s a long time.. I was late getting back to work as well!

A big group of us came to the pen and wig for food and for drinks. Wasn’t a great selection of ale, but other than that drink selection was fine. Our food came out very quickly and was very tasty! I had a burger and my husband had a pie, both tasted great! We then went outside to smoke and were delighted by all the outdoor seating and the outdoor heating was great. Will definitely come back

This traditional pub is located not far from Cardiff museum. It has a garden to the rear and the atmosphere of a country pub. They have an impressive range of hand pulled beers and ciders. The staff were very friendly we enjoyed our visit.

We booked a table a couple of months ago for our office Xmas celebration. We arrived early and were surprised how quite it was. We ordered a drink and awaited our pre orders to start arriving. Unfortunately one of the four starters arrived very late (the other three had all finished) the food was well presented and very tasty. The main course was also slow in all arriving which again meant that some of the group had nearly finished when the last main arrived. Once again however the food was well presented and tasty. My rump med rare steak was cooked just right.

The Pen and Wig has a lovely atmosphere and is always my go to when in Cardiff! They offer a great selection of ale and their food is always so good. Sometimes there isn't enough staff on and you have to wait at the bar for a while before getting served. Also worth a mention is the fantastic and spacious beer garden, they offer you blankets so you can still enjoy it in the winter months!

Lush dinner today, beef beautifully cooked along with parsnips, broccoli, peas, carrots and roasties with 2 Yorkshire puddings good portion & great value one small thing carrots were not cooked but once soaked in the lovely gravy they were edible. We were asked if we wanted extra roasties & yorkie’s which were much appreciated & quickly wolfed down.

We came here as a couple with our parents for Sunday lunch and chose the Roast Beef, Pork and Nut Roast options. The food was tasty and we were really impressed with the meals, all cooked to perfection. The pub is a hidden gem of Cardiff and has a lovely warm atmosphere. Staff were very helpful and friendly too. Thanks very much guys and we'll definitely return .

I visited yesterday lunchtime for the first time recommended by the friend I came with. Oh boy, I'm glad she did! The atmosphere was very chilled, and the decor around the pub was lovely. We decided on what to eat and went to the bar to order and we were greeted by a very friendly and polite bartender, didn't catch his name but he was tall and broad with dark hair. He served us efficiently and with a great deal of care (also asked us for ID which is great cause that hasn't happened to me in a while!). He was able to answer all my questions about the food and certain ciders and even took the time to explain to me lots of details about the speciality ciders. Our food came out in about 20 minutes and tasted amazing! Don't know how they cook their food there but it all tasted fresh! I had the hunters chicken. After food we stayed for another drink. Overall I felt very relaxed and enjoyed my time visiting. I will definitely be back!

The atmosphere here is usually exciting with lots of business people calling in for lunch or drinks.

I came here for a Sunday roast with my boyfriend. The pub is very hidden away and close by, I'd been for food before and it was nice, so I wanted to take him there.

Visitamos para comer tarde con un grupo grande y todo el mundo tenía deliciosas comidas. Tenía una buena selección de comidas y alcohol haciendo selección única bien probar cosas nuevas. Yo tenía el estante grande de costillas y quedé sorprendido con lo grande que eran, sin duda, una gran elección de mina.

Get pub with such a variety of real ales and great good. Lovely atmosphere and a great place out the back which is a good place to have a beer early evening

Visited this Gem of a pub today for lunch with some visitors from Canada. There was a very good choice of ales on offer and our guests from Canada were given the chance to sample them before picking which was a nice touch. There were 7 of us in total and we had some meals from the Sunday menu and were allowed to order some food from the regular menu. We had a variety of dishes, Roast Beef Lunch, Scampi, Club Sandwich, Chicken and Bacon Salad, Calamari, cheese plowman's , all were very good. The staff were very helpful and the atmosphere was very good. All in all we had a very enjoyable time here and fully intend to visit again.
