plymouth arms in Cardiff

Amazing food, staff were amazing too. Nice to see a friendly face in the new manager Adam that guy knows how to run a business we all had a wicked day there we will definitely be visiting again. Also found out that a former colleague of mine Stuart was in the kitchen doing what he does best smashing out great food.

Top tier Sunday roast and a sticky toffee pud to die for! Can't speak highly enough about the staff aswell, all very attentive and friendly

Really lovely pub got served by Molly and she was outstanding food came out super fast

Great place to go! Food was lovely and the service was fantastic! Thank to Olivia and the team who made sure we had everything we needed, nothing was too much trouble and we’re all very friendly!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – The Plymouth Arms: A Cardiff Gem! The Plymouth Arms is everything a great pub should be - cozy, lively, and full of character. With top-notch drinks, delicious food, and a fantastic atmosphere, it’s a must-visit in Cardiff. A huge shout-out to Kelly, who brings warmth and fun to every visit, and Adam, the manager, who ensures everything runs smoothly. Their team’s friendly, attentive service makes this pub truly special. 🍻 A perfect spot for drinks, food, and good times - highly recommend! 🍻

First time visiting the Plymouth arms. Great food, beautiful atmosphere with beautiful scenery. Got served by a girl called Molly. What a lovely girl! She made our visit special. She made sure we had everything we needs from the time we arrived to the time we left. She was so kind and caring. You could see she loved her job. She was going out of her way not to just help us but everyone she came in contact with. You dont get to see that often She is a great asset to the place. Every place needs a molly. Can't wait to come back.

We had an amazing meal at the Plymouth Arms. The service was great, especially Olivia and Molly who were friendly and very helpful. We will definitely return.

Had a lovely experience in the beer garden and then is the restaurant for some food molly was amazing

Really nice place, popped in for a meal after visiting St.Fagans. We were served quickly, and the food tasted great. Thank you Molly and Olivia for the quick service. Both of them were very friendly.

We had a lush time at the Plymouth Arms! Our waitress Olivia was so professional and friendly:)

great service from molly when we came in for lunch, she was very friendly

Lovely birthday lunch for my sister today. Great helpful service from Molly. She even remembered ‘no fruit!’. :-)

Great place to meet friends for lunch, good food and service from Molly!

The plymouth arms would always normally be our go to place for a lunch or family meal or special occasion we always enjoyed the food and service. We’ve recently noticed a staff and management change and don’t know if it’s a reason for the drop in food quality, but the food isn’t as nice. We had a roast dinner recently and everything was under par the veggies were way undercooked and the normally really tasty beef dripping was no where near as nice or rich in flavour really lacking. I had the lamb koftas and pitta share plate today, the pittas were over cooked and the salad was so old and disgusting I wouldn’t serve it to my dog. Only saving grace was the beautiful sunshine in the beer garden. So disappointed probably won’t be eating here again for special occasions.

Lovely atmosphere in the heart of St. Fagans right next to the museum! We were served by Italia who was extremely accommodating - we will definitely be coming back. The lamb koftas are incredible!

Ben front of house was amazing. Trying to do the job of several people. The food was satisfactory however the wait was not. It lacked organisation of any sort and this is probably why our food was eventually delivered incorrectly. The salad we ordered to accompany, was something totally different. Ben kept trying his best, highly professional. He and us as customers deserve better.

Kelly and Molly has been fantastic, always a smile and nothing is too much! Such a credit to The Plymouth Arms in St faggans. Great atmosphere, great food and drinks. Beer garden is fantastic!

Came to The Plymouth Arms last week, Italia was our sever, she couldn't do enough for us, despite the Pub being very busy, the service was outstanding 👏 the food was lovely will definitely be back

Really lovely pub, got served by kelly and she was out standing... food came out super fast and really hot.

Molly is amazing, always great service

Such a lovely experience with wonderful service! Our waitress was Italia & she was very friendly, polite & helpful! Definitely would recommend, will be going again!

We had an amazing time! our waitress olivia was so accommodating and really took care of us! Thank you olivia!!

Lovely food and really good service from Kelly. Lovely to go to a pub with an amazing beer garden

Lovely atmosphere, couldn’t thank Molly enough for her service made our afternoon extra special.

Highly recommended! Food was 10/10 Service 10/10 Olivia our waiter was great made sure we had everything we needed and provided great service.

Absolutely amazing service from Adam and Joe today Thankyou very much I woul definitely recommend

Italia was a great server today and the food was fantastic. Great value for money and a fantastic atmosphere with great customer service, made me feel very important

Our evening here was great, we had a fantastic host Adam, that made us feel so welcomed and and the food was excellent 5*****

Loved our visit, Adam and the team made us feel very welcome

lovely place, staff are very friendly and helpful

Waited to be seated for 15 minutes, I asked at grumpy faced woman and she told me to wait some seconds, another couple came and they got the table immediately

Lovely atmosphere and decor. Very friendly staff. However food was over 2.5 hours late, despite promises. Good was okay, but a couple of meals were missing main ingredients. 2 hungry children

Very quiet when we arrived at 1pm and we had to look for somebody to show us to our table. We ordered gammon, egg and chips and waited until the food arrived 45 minutes later which then had to be sent back as it was cold. Needless to say we won’t be returning

kids meals are extremly small with the smallest amount of chips ever. the puddings are not worth the money

Great staff, really accommodating. Spotlessly clean, and lovely food

Best Sunday Roast I have ever had. A fantastic food and friendly & attentive staff.

Great Sunday lunch and great service! Adam and the team really go out of their way to make your experience the best! It was busy but the food still arrived quickly and was piping hot, the team were very attentive throughout our visit!

First time eating at the Plymouth. The food was exceptional and I see food as just energy but I was very VERY impressed service was good. Manager was on the ball, we pre ordered as a group and some ordered on the night. All food was hot and prompt would recommend to everyone to eat here.

Really great pub/restaurant. Staff are so friendly and welcoming, the food is amazing. I often stop by for a light meal and drinks, but the few times I have stayed for a full meal it has been even better the food is very well made and a good portion size.

Excellent choice of food, well prepared, delicious

Had a room to ourselves for a family get together. Great food and service

Came for lunch with ex colleagues. Lovely meal with plenty of choice. Great service from a very friendly gentleman. Will definitely be back.

What a fantastic place to go for a quiet drink & food, plenty of seats inside & outside the food was absolutely gorgeous staff were very friendly.

Great pub with a friendly atmosphere

Fantastic pub. Great food , great hospitality great atmosphere , give it a try .

Encantadora comida familiar para 10 esta noche, el personal era muy servicial y la comida era encantadora, teníamos 2 personas con alergias alimentarias y esto se trató adecuadamente, quería un postre del menú infantil y eso no fue ningún problema, el personal era tan servicial.

Lovely lunch, no need to book as on a Monday, sat by a roaring fire, beautiful meal and surroundings, all served by the lovely Sue. Thank you.. Can't wait to return ☺️

Went for Sunday dinner with family members, we were great with a warm welcome and shown to our table very fast. Our server was Seren she was fast and very thorough with taking our order. Food was lovely warm and did not have to wait long for our meals.

Came in Valentine’s Day evening The waitress Sue was fantastic attentive & friendly, sue made sure we had everything we needed The food was delicious we had the chateaubriand to share & vanilla cheesecake for dessert Will definitely return soon

Delicious Sunday lunch, friendly and efficient service from Sue, dog friendly and a toasty log fire for a lovely winter atmosphere.

DO NOT GO HERE AFTER AN EVENT. We were loyal customers for many years and unfortunately its my birthday just after Valentines. We went there tonight for my birthday meal to be told bluntly that our choices from the menu were not available so we were forced to order what was available. Birthday drink? Forget that one too. I was told that as they are moving away from Fever Tree. They only had slimline tonic and that was the on tap slimline. So. not only were we forced to order food that was not our first choice. We were also forced to order something different to drink. The starter was awful. Mine was underdone. My husband had some that were under. Some that were over. Our main course consisted of 90% gristle and fat. Cooked like the starter. We had asked for a doggie bag with the starter (which resulted in us being given a container for us to fill ourselves). Having tried to eat the main. I asked my husband to pay so we could go. I couldn't face having to look at the dessert menu only to be told what wasn't available. My husband explained it hadn't been the best meal. It got quie heated. Gristle was taken off. But we still paid through the nose for what we couldn't eat. No apology either. Do yourselves a favour and give it a miss after busy events. Pic of our doggie box. Not sure our dog will eat it either.

Lovely experience today for lunch. We did arrive early for our booking and management were more than accommodating to us. We were served by Seren who was very welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us :) thank you :)

Molly and Adam where great the atmosphere is lovely

Nice day out,well worth the visit.

Came here for a day out and decided to stop for lunch at the Plymouth Arms. Food was delicious! I ordered the Baked Scallops & King Prawns which came with toasted ciabatta & my partner ordered the Fillet Steak. Service was great. Adam & Piers came & checked on us, plus a nice surprise from the chef Stuart. Will definitely be returning.

Came with my 2-Son’s and friend of mine, which we all enjoy the food @ Drinks just so good service, most definitely come back again. My 2-son’s are Autistic they enjoy it most important as they just relax had a lovely time.. 3rd of Feb… Mon… We went to Plymouth Arms Last night and we were very Disappointed of the outcome Service wise, we had a long wait for our food plus my youngest son has Autism and waiting not always easy for him.. What we don’t understand we order our food but these people who came in afterwards, had there’s b4 us which I find completely backwards my poor boyz weren’t happy.. When the woman brought our food she then caught my meat b4 it went on the floor.. by hand… it wasn’t busy night… It was nearly an- hour for food, we decided we won’t be coming back again.. Very Disappointed @ very poor service.. We will be going somewhere else, plus there wasn’t much choice in the Menu not good for a Restaurant:…..

Had sunday lunch today first time since before lockdown all i can say is they havent lost there touch food was amazing and staff as friendly as ever so glad to be back ...thanks guys for another fantastic meal xx

The staff were very helpful and efficient especially Molly who made sure our celebratory meal went so well. She was great!

Lovely pub, very traditional with open fires and cosy feel, not the cheapest however the food is very good. Highly recommend

We received a warm welcome from the staff and the service was excellent. The quality of the food was also very good.I would definitely go there again.

Fantastic food with lots of choice! Our waiter molly was fantastic she knew the menu inside out, Will definitely be back lovely atmosphere and very well run!!

Food was exceptional, and the Landlord was delightfully friendly, will be coming back.

Met up with a friend. Surprised to see a beautiful entrance, really relaxing and cosy feel while seated. Service was quick and efficient and food was very tasty. I'll definitely be going again

Our server was Adam, we couldn’t have been more pleased and happy with the service provided, 10/10, the food was outstanding as usual and lovely atmosphere thank you 😊

Attended on Tuesday and was served by Molly, she was very polite and professional. Will recommend coming here to friends and family!

Came in with my family last week, we were served by Molly. She was so helpful and answered my multiple questions and was happy to do so. She was such a friendly person and made the experience so much better. Will definitely come again..fantastic!

Nice staff, good service, good quality drinks and snacks. If you’re around Saint Fagans I highly recommend you visit this nice pub.

Amazing food and the service was absolutely exceptional we had italia served us and she truly was amazing thank you ☺️

Lovely cosy atmosphere, Great food

We got served by Kelly excellent service and food

Amazing place , we had such a wonderful time! Cracking fireplace and delicious food , very polite and lovely staff ! We will definitely come back again 🥰

Our server Kelly was fab! Very attentive and pleasant, thank you :)

Country pub and friendly food was excellent enjoyed my stay

Service was prompt, food was quick but hot and delicious. One of the best Sunday dinners I’ve had served at a pub! Plenty of space and we were able to bring our dog along

Best roast I've ever had in a pub, all the food was great and hot

Had a lovely meal here with friends. The food was well presented, good size portions, hot and tasty. It’s cosy and warm in the pub with three log fires around the premises. I will definitely be back again soon!

We had a lovely meal in the Plymouth Arms. Service was quick and the staff were very friendly. I would definitely recommend the fish and chips - the fish was very succulent!

Great food, kind service, clean comfort and banging burger ! Highly recommend for all ages and dogs. Under new management and definitely better.

Everything was excellent- the food was delicious, the service was great. We were a large group all wanting to pay individually, which got complicated when we had to work out taking off the deposit but the staff explained it clearly and made it easy for us, though it took much more of their time. We also really enjoyed the real fire, the decorations, the setting and the ambience. It's a really attractive pub, very nicely decorated, including the toilets!

Difficult one this. The food was good, but they were very short staffed, due to illness. The staff who were there were very apologetic and kept us informed. I am fully prepared to give them another go, as, all in all, it was a nice pub.

Very enjoyable lunch . Food choice and quality was great. Served by Italia who was great. Nice to see a young lady with enthusiasm for her job.

We had an amazing Christmas dinner at The Plymouth Arms and were served by Molly, she was incredible from start to finish! Such a great day!

Good food served in a lovely environment with friendly and attentive staff

I booked a table weeks in advance of my son and daughter’s birthdays but on arrival at the venue was told by the manager that he had been trying to contact me literally 2 hours before our booking to let me know that there were limited vegetarian choices as they had supply issues and had run out of most of it. I had missed these calls and, as 3 members of our group are vegetarian, it wasn’t ideal but said it was ok, we would manage. We were seated in an empty restaurant which surprised me as online they were fully booked for the evening. We were then advised that they had run out of nearly half of the items on the menu, not just vegetarian options. It appeared that this had been the case all day and frontline staff had had to bear the brunt of unhappy customers. With no other people in the restaurant (I can only think that they were contacted and all cancelled due to the limited menu available), staff setting up tables for the following day around us along with pretty much everything we wanted to order from the menu being unavailable, the evening was extremely flat and disappointing. We were given a 20% discount but this hardly made up for our birthday celebrations being completely spoiled. Given the high number of bookings in the run up to Christmas they should have been better prepared than this and to be honest would think twice before booking a meal here again.

Always great food and fantastic staff!

Great service and brilliant food, Molly was friendly, quick and patient! Great afternoon lunch.

This was just THE BEST SANTA EVER. The ambience, food quality, service and the most engaging santa ever.thank you so much guys you did us proud

Good spot for a family lunch. The pub has definitely improved since I was last in. It feels a lot lighter brighter cleaner then I remember. A good selection of drinks and varied food menu with plenty of choice for adults and children. Good . Great attentive service from Molly too.

Molly was amazing and so attentive - a lovely afternoon

We were attend to by a lovely young lady called Molly, was a pleasure to be served by her. Food was delicious and will be going again 😃

Pleasant, welcoming staff. Very pleased with the quality and pirtion size of food.

Great place, nice atmosphere and great service from Molly. Will definately be back again

Had an amazing night, everything went well. There was 22 of us and it was managed well. I would like to thank Sue, Josh, Italia and Molly. The food was severed well and hot catered to all dietary needs. Very friendly and welcoming

Really enjoyed the Plymouth Arms. We had visited St. Fagans heritage museum with family visiting from Australia. We ordered food at lunchtime as it was delicious. The bar staff were very attentive and it was a very enjoyable trip to a delightful pub. Would certainly recommend.

Great atmosphere, staff are great food superb, would definately recommend, well worth a visit, we have become regulars.

Friendly young barmaid and a brisket sandwich with bone marrow sauce to die for. Great pub

The food and service was outstanding we will be back Book early not to be dis pointed,it gets booked up Highly recommended

Excellent Sunday lunch ( not for the first time!) Food was very good value Service excellent, Sue looked after us very well. We will certainly be back

Food was great and dog friendly which was a must for our group. The manager (I think), rearranged the table bookings so we could remain on our table after our meal for drinks. Very impressed with the venue - would be great in summer with the large garden. I highly recommend the Plymouth Arms in terms of food quality, fantastic service, great venue and plenty of parking. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Great place and atmosphere, the food is fab too. Eaten here a few times and never fails to impress.
