The Cardiff Arms Cilgerran in Pembrokeshire

Lovely friendly little pub tucked into a pretty little village.

Stopped in after visiting the castle, lovely spot

Visited 25th September 2023. The landlord was very friendly, and the pub was clean, tidy, and welcoming. We had a pint of Guinness and white wine, the Guinness was excellent. This pub is well worth a visit.

Great pub with an excellent beer garden and warm/friendly indoor space.

Nice traditional dog friendly pub, chatty landlord and a couple of good real ales.

Breaking a walk to have a sneaky pint, called into this place as a half way point. Disturbed the bartender (possibly landlord) hoovering. He was happy for us to come in. Dog friendly. Excellent pint of Double Dragon and a coke, with change from a fiver, which is a first on this trip. No food so can't comment, and we were the only people there (it had just opened), but a pleasant welcome and good real pint

Great pub good beer nice people

Very friendly landlord and landlady

I'm a bit confused about all the positive reviews here (indeed we decided to eat here on the basis of the reviews). I don't enjoy writing negative reviews but this was not a food pub at all. We visited on a Sunday. There was no menu and we were told there was only a choice of either roast beef or roast chicken. Nothing else was being served. The meat was ok but the vegetables tasted either over cooked or as if from a frozen bag. The bartender was not particularly friendly or welcoming and he didn't seem happy that we were ordering food at all. Admittedly we had not booked but were asked to come back an hour later despite the pub being fairly empty both when we first arrived and when we came back. The pub itself is pretty run down and not a very nice environment. It wasn't terrible but definitely worse than simply unexceptional.

Popped into the Cardiff Arms for a cuppa after visiting the castle. They were serving lunch and there were 14 of us but they were happy for us to only have drinks. Really friendly. Diolch yn fawr iawn 😊

Called in for lunch after a rainy visit to the castle! The food was faultless. kids - chicken goujons were pieces of breast and lovely, vegetable lasagne was divine, homemade tomato soup perfect and the bacon egg and chips delicious!!! Would recommend without question!!! Definitely worth the visit!! 😀

10 of us Went for a family meal and made us feel very welcome, the food and staff were fantastic. Starters, mains and desserts were 10 out of 10 for all of us, highly recommend a visit u won't be disappointed, great pub great welcome great atmosphere.

Very friendly and welcoming, banging pub grub, lovely beer garden, perfect pit stop after a long walk!

We had just done a circular walk from Cilgerran Castle, through the wildlife centre and through the Teifi Gorge so, on our return, when we saw that the Cardiff Arms was open, it was like spotting an oasis in the desert. What a lovely cozy tidy bar area, but the outside spaces were even better, loads of room and comfy chairs everywhere, so, room to social distance to your hearts content. I ordered the tuna melt on ciabatta and my partner ordered the dirty hot dog (?) they were both HUGE and delicious. I also had a white wine spritzer which I have to say was the best during a whole week in Pembrokeshire. Lovely pub, super outside areas, delicious food and drinks - what’s not to love? We would 100% return here again.

Called in here for a drink whilst staying in the village. The beer seemed to be kept well and the staff very friendly.

Fantastic meals here. Sunday lunch first class so tasty

Such a lovely place to visit. Lovely food and a warm welcome. Will definitely be visiting again

As always tasty well priced and fulfilling recommended never give 5 lol👍

Wir waren durch ,,Zufall" an einem Sonntag da und haben uns natürlich für den ,,Sunday-Roast" in drei verschiedenen Variationen entschieden. Das war der Hammer und auch noch sehr günstig. Das war allerdings 2017.

Great food and very friendly staff and dog friendly

Lovely pub, friendly atmosphere. Had both Sunday lunch and an evening meal. Both were absolutely gorgeous. Best cheesecake I've ever tasted!!

Lovely meal with my family. Very friendly staff. 🐕 friendly and do lovely Sunday lunch thank you very much.

Felt totally safe when we went here for Sunday lunch. Fodd was really tasty and the cheesecake was the best I have ever tasted

Nice friendly pub in Cilgerran, just adjacent to the castle. Large garden. Good range of beers and lagers. I didn't eat but the food I saw being served looked very nice.

Loved our dinner here! Great staff and service was lovely. Food was homely, like it was cooked by my aunt. Felt very comfortable!

We loved the Cardiff Arms. Ideal for an evening drink, staff were friendly as were the locals. We had food the first night and were really impressed with quality and portions. The kids liked the beer garden and it had a really good feel about it. Like Adele's next door ideal if you've been down to the river or thr Castle and want to stop and relax. Highly recommend

Fantastic, cozy, lovely pub with such friendly staff and great food. So good we returned twice during our recent holiday and we're already looking forward to coming back in August. Only wish we lived closer 😀

Wondeful lunch with friends - really welcoming and friendly staff - great food. Very high standards of social distancing and Covid hygiene. Able to eat outside, under cover with lots of space for chidren to play - in the present circumstances its hard to ask for more! Great place.

Excellent meal, beautifully cooked, good selection of veg and cauliflower/broccoli cheese all served on hot plates in a lovely warm dining room. The quantity of food was more than enough and the service excellent (no long wait between courses), the price was more than competitive with other local venues. The pub caters for children and is an ideal place for a family meal. Thoroughly recommended.

What a lovely cozy pub,lovely dining area too, great staff who are all very friendly,an make everyone feel very welcome, food Excellent too lots of choice from menu , also do evening meals too, if your ever visiting in the area I would definitely recommend I for one will be back again and again . Also dog friendly .

Great food , lovely restaurant and staff very helpful, and friendly , great landlady. Beer garden will be great in the suummer evenings to sit out

We received a lovely welcome and had a delicious lunch. A very relaxed atmosphere. Thank you. Diolch.

There were 8 of us 4 adults and 4 children. The service was fantastic and the food was amazing there were empty plates even the kids plates were empty. We also had cheesecake for desert it was lovely and you can tell it is all homemade. Well done look forward to seeing you all again soon

They do a wonderful pint, great when you have paid a visit to the nearby Castle.

Currently to let! Such a shame it's closed.

Visited here last August whilst on holiday, we had lush veggie burgers with coleslaw, fries and onion rings. Nice little beer garden for our little one and dog to play. Staff were lovely, the lady gave our boy a choc bar for finishing his dinner, which he was chuffed with! Were hoping to return this week, totally gutted to find out they are closed :’( whyyyy?!

Currently closed as of January 2019. Still closed the owners Felinfoel Brewery are looking for new tenants (Updated 10th Juune 2019)

Lovely Atmosphere an Great food as always never been disappointed yet . Good value for money too.

Good beer, pub is close to castle. I found it was clean and welcoming.

Nice pub. Shame about the landlord and landlady

Nice place with a good beer garden with kids play area

We received a very warm and friendly welcome at this family run pub, opposite Cilgerran Castle. Relatively new ownership and we wish them well. The lunchtime bar food was tasty and good value, and the beer well kept. The fire in the main bar provided a cosy place on a cold day.
