The Copper Pot in Ceredigion

Beautiful place and very polite people

Amazing Sunday lunch. Homemade. Best Sunday lunch I have ever had eating out. Staff were so friendly and nice atmosphere. Will definitely be returning and will be recommending.

Amazing🫶 and very friendly!! Best nachos ever..super nice food and service has been greatful, Hanna is so lovely!! One of my favourite places!! 5🌟

Good food, we had dinner there and had the Mongolian beef which was a treat.

Hello there, We dined here on Saturday evening and it was an all round superb experience. Firstly, the food is of an exceptional standard, and it is clear that all the chefs are hardworking and communicate well, great to have visibility on the kitchen. Secondly, we were with our 20-year-old son who has severe autism and learning disabilities. Your staff made sure that everything went smoothly and well and that he had his food when he needed it. Special shout-out to Hannah, Ebony & Kat, as they could not do enough for us and were very considerate to our needs as a party. This means a lot to us as a family, so we just want to thank you all for insuring that your restaurant is suitable for all to eat at, and is inclusive. Again, the food was also first rate. Thanks again, big luv to all ❤️

Great food, great people, full staff, great ambience. I would definitely go there if I had something to eat in Cardigan again. Absolutely recommended.

Great cocktail list, tasty food and friendly service. Would definitely visit this place again and recommend for anyone staying locally!

Wonderful food and friendly staff

The best pub food we have had in some time! Service was great as well. Made very welcome with our dog as well. Nothing was too much trouble.

We went as a couple and we were not dissappioned Really lovely evening. The staff were helpful and friendly especially Kat. The food was amazing I would definitely recommend this place

What a warm and friendly establishment. Great friendly and helpful staff,very pleasant. Food was excellent. Quick service. All round great service. Will definitely be visiting there again.

Lovely place. Fantastic food and great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Wot a lovely place for a meal the young girl was fantastic very helpful loved my chat with her food was delicious will be coming back in a few weeks

I so wanted to give more stars! I booked a table for 20.15, but arrived at 20.05 with an apology for being early. I was told my table wasn't ready (no worries, I was early) I was shown to a holding area and told a drinks order would be taken (this never happened) walk ins were getting served quicker. 25 minutes later I was shown to a table centre to the restaurant (I was dining alone) I asked for another table, was sorted. Food was good, a complementary drink equalled a 'service' mess. I would eat here again though.

A good Gastro style venue, offering nicely plated food, a bit expensive for the area, but well cooked and presented. The service was good, we were possibly not the quitest party but well served and managed in what is a popular venue. The pork belly whisky starter was nice if not a minimal serving for the £8.95, perhaps more a £7 dish. The large mixed grill platter was well cooked, lacked some of what I was expecting, being gammon, egg, and tomatoes, having a southern fried chicken style piece and a nicely cooked steak. It looked vast but layout was at play here for £38.50 it was fair value but I have had better for this price point, probably a £30 dish I believe. Overall a good venue I would visit again for more special occasions.

A lovely roast. The cauliflower cheese was delicious!

Our group had a range of vegetarian, gluten free and carnivore options - all excellent. The most amazing onion rings - gluten free as well!! Friendly, helpful staff. Fabulous mojito!

Lovely mixed grill, but a little pricey

Visited the Copper Pot for food for the first time. Last time I visited it was the Commercial Hotel, which shows how long ago that was. The service was excellent, our waitress was super friendly and helpful. The barman was also very friendly. For starters I opted for pakoras while my companion chose pork belly in the blink of an eye. When it appeared the scene was reminiscent of the scene from “When Harry met Sally.” Needless to say, the pork was apparently delicious. For mains I had a grilled halloumi and falafel burger. It came well presented and tasted as good as it looked. Portion size was generous, washed down by creamy Felinfoel Double Dragon ale. A pleasant surprise and a lovely meal. Will definitely recommend and hope to visit again soon.

Delicious sirloin steak. Perfectly done. Excellent sauce and garnish. Nice chips Good match with Sol Der Oro Merlot Very nice aubergine chili. Famous orchard gold cider Fast, friendly and efficient service

On arrival we entered the narrow corridor to be greeted by a busy and ambient restaurant. Whilst all serving staff were busy the bar staff acknowledged our arrival politely and ensured us "name" will be with us shortly. Shortly followed by the appearance of said named person (I'm not great with names). Due to our impromptu arrival and late descending a quick check was made with the kitchen and we were politely offered a table. The dining area was well laid out to give the impression of space but with all but one table full we asked if we could dine outside. Not a problem in the slightest and the long walk through the establishment began. As it was our first visit we were clearly directed and set off on our way. (I'm not exaggerating it's a long walk). As you amble through the establishment you see the attention to detail that has gone into utilising the space whilst maintaining an appearance of calm and chilled yet "something a little special" to every part of the building. Passing the kitchen hatch you see that they work with limited space and as a people who work in a kitchen we could appreciate the systems and efficiency implemented to keep such a busy bar / restaurant so presentable and clean. Even at a glance we both know where and how to see the hygiene of a kitchen. We continued through the nicely designed interior to reach the winding path to the secret garden. A well kept clean and desirable outdoor dining area with plenty of shelter and again extremely efficient and effective use of a small space. Staff were promptly with us to offer the menu and away pleasantly to fetch our drinks. We perused the well balanced if not somewhat short menu and as our drinks arrived we were ready to order. As someone in the trade I am aware my dietary requirements are a nightmare to deal with but without a flutter of impatience or a scowling of irritation I was quickly informed of the changes available and offered an ideal alternative. After an enjoyable cigar in the secret garden with it's step away from the world calm and quietness our meals arrived. Salmon for myself and the mexican chicken for my partner. Both meals were presented as I would expect from somewhere with a higher price tag. The portions were more than adequate to satisfy an appetite and the meals cooked perfectly. Ingredients clearly chosen carefully main meats fish definitely not nasty wholesale frozen and accompaniments (guacamole, coleslaw and onion rings) were not from a packet, freezer or standard mass production supplier. It's rare to manage to impress both of us as with decade plus in the food industry we have gained the ability to spot certain suppliers trade marks and tricks to dress up food and mass produce whilst giving the end user an impression of unique, individual or home made. On this occasion we both felt the ingredients, individual cooking styles and quality of produce suggest properly sourced and well made dishes from the kitchen. Throughout dining the staff were attentive not intrusive, pleasant and approachable. Leaving us with a definite feel of welcome, at ease in our visit and impressed not only by the design, atmosphere, ambience, layout, staff and food. A clean and efficient dining experience with quality and excellent service. Congratulations copper pot on achieving such praises from two bitter industry hardened diners with high expectations.

First class food and hospitality

Cibo ottimo, personale gentilissimo e molto simpatico, ambiente intimo e accogliente. Abbiamo mangiato il miglior salmone della nostra vacanza, un hamburger da leccarsi le dita, una cheesecake superlativa. Consigliato a occhi chiusi.

Great meal, good to see a restaurant that does a small menu well rather than an extensive menu averagely. Prawn starter good, pork belly good, Steak was perfectly cooked (rare) and nicely seasoned. well presented, salmon also good size and well presented. All waiting staff polite and friendly but also attentive. My only critiic would be that a lot of menu items either have chilli in or are garnished with red chillies and sadly I can't eat them. I just had to pick them off. I do however look forward to my next visit.

Dealt with my allergies amazingly, steak was cooked exactly how I wanted, really good. Only a 4 for service because we got forgotten about for drinks, but otherwise really good. Thank you

Absolutely wonderful, I had the salmon, my husband the ribs, I am not in the habit of writing reviews, but this place so deserves a large pat on the back, had an amazing meal in such a friendly atmosphere, well done to the team behind the Copper Pot especially Cat who was so welcoming

Called in for lunch today with the family, great food, great cocktails and great service 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Great food. Cracking cocktails And friendly staff.

Today we had a great Sunday lunch in this friendly, welcoming restaurant. Everything was perfect. If you want a generous helping of tender meat (we had pork) and lashings of fresh veg, this is the place to come.

The spare ribs were beautifully cooked and delicious. Just one niggle, the chips were more like chip sticks, very thin and hard. Just spoiled the experience slightly. Overall certainly worth a visit. Better to book.

10/10 would recommend! Anyone who hasn't been, GO! Food is sooo good. If you've been, you know how good it is. Get back there!

We only had a quick drink. However the secret garden was a nice touch

This is an absolute gem of a spot. Best roast I’ve personally ever had. Brilliant service, super accommodating. Would recommend to anyone visiting Cardigan. 10/10

If you ever had doubts about pub food, this is the place to enjoy. Reservation is a good idea

We had a lovely meal here. No starters but I had the smashed burger and my husband had the ribeye. Rib eye can be a little sinewy and sadly this one hadn’t been trimmed properly. When we brought this to the managers attention, she couldn’t do enough for us. In fact, all the staff were genuinely happy not only to the customers, but to each other out the back. We had raspberry Eton Mess and that was out of this world. Absolutely delicious! We had a cocktail and sat out in the secret garden which was lovely. Thank you Copper Pot- we will definitely be back!

Best mixed Grill on the planet.. Awesome service, friendly polite staff A must visit restraunt .. you won't be disappointed

Food was lovely. Good to have the tempura prawns back on the menu, the flat iron steaks were perfectly cooked, tender and tasty. And a good Chilean merlot went down nicely too. We'll be back.

Relaxed, friendly service. Comfortably busy, but with a pleasant atmosphere. The food is excellent, beautifully cooked and presented with vibrant flavours. Definitely worth a visit

Great place for actual food, rather than frozen stuff from a wholesaler. The Menu is a good balance of interesting and reliable, with something for everyone. The decor isn’t ’Instagram worthy’, but neither is my face, so who cares? All this is made better by it being independent and knowing you’re supporting a local business. Wouldn’t hurt for them to have a few more interesting beers 😉

I was preached to about the half rack of ribs and had to try them for myself, all I can say is that they are quite possibly the best ribs I have had in years, accompanied by smiling happy service and a great playlist. If you are anywhere near this place you simply have to include it in your itinerary.

Food is delicious here- book ahead though as its full often

It was OK, I wouldn't return though. The food was OK but no more than that. Had the mixed grill, it came on paper on a tray and the blunt steak knife had problems cutting through the meat. This made the paper to tear and I ended up picking paper out of the food. Service could have been better, I had an empty glass which I wanted to be refilled but had to wait for the waitress to stop talking to her friends, waited approx 3 minutes which is a while when dining alone and trying to get the attention of someone.

If you want a decent Sunday lunch … come here! Delicious! Nice portion sizes. Friendly staff, lovely building, great food! Thank you!

We really enjoyed a lovely meal attentive service friendly helpful team and a very relaxed atmosphere. We would heartily recommend this restaurant.

I am always nervous in a new venue - but I needn’t have been as this place is certainly dog friendly. Small but cozy with friendly staff I was soon put at ease and my owners were nice and relaxed ( which always helps). Same old problem though the food was so good I saw very little of it - I hate it more when they give you a little taster- on this occasions some scrumptious morsel of roast beef - and then no more as it’s so scrumptious they keto the rest for themselves. Then of course the constant chatter about how good the food was on the way home in the car with no thought to my poor rumbling belly and ignited taste buds - it’s just not cricket! Oh and apparently the best and wine were also great - and whilst I was offered some fresh water all as no plateful if beef on this occasion - I live in hope! So to recap a great Sunday lunch with fab service and two very happy owners E

Went for a Sunday roast dinner. The menu is very limited with only 2 x types of starters and 3 x types of roast. So if you are very picky eater perhaps call in to find out the menu before booking. So as a starter we both had mushrooms on toast (The other option was fried cauliflower). Nothing special really, and won’t be remembered. The main was beef roast (other option was Turkey roast or nut roast). Apart from super salty gravy (it was sickly salty) the food wasn’t offensive, but also wouldn’t win any awards. The wine on the other hand was very offensive. Only should be used for drain unclogging, not for human intake. The venue itself is super cold, so only ideal for hot sunny days. Staff are nice, service is fast. Dog friendly. I’m very surprised that the place has got such high ratings. I really cannot give more than 3 stars as the food was just not up to the standard. Personally I think place has got the potential, but things would have to get better. Would I return ? - No.

Great place. Good was amazing. Dog friendly to.

Lovely atmosphere and decor, modern rustic. staff attentive and helpful. We had burgers which were 10/10 and desserts which were also delicious.

One of the best pub meals we've had in a while. The ribs are huge, steak cooked to perfection and nice meat-free options. Super team too.

What a lovely place to eat. Fantastic food. Great friendly service. Thank you. X

Had a great evening. The food and staff were perfect.

Good music took long for food to come but good food

Superb beef Sunday roast - the beef absolutely melted in the mouth. Welsh rarebit starter was also super tasty. Good choice of drinks.

Lovely meal and very friendly service.

Good food, friendly staff, nice location and one of a handful of restaurants open on a Tuesday in early March. Only downside was it was a bit cold inside even with the heating on.

Fantastic service and the food was amazing! The staff were really friendly and the place was super clean. They had no problem catering to my allergy and explained they had different deep fryers to manage this. Very happy and look forward to eating there again

Can’t fault this place. Excellent food, lovely staff and a great vibe. What more do you want? Turned up on the off-chance there was a free table. They offered us one 30 minutes later when someone was leaving. Can understand why it’s so busy mid-week. Great night.

Honestly THE best place in Cardigan for a Sunday roast!!! Absolutely delicious every single time

Excellent service, delicious food. Definitely have to recommend the tacos 🌮

8 of us went here for a meal, unfortunately everyone was disappointed. Chips were cold, very skinny so difficult to keep warm. Steaks were very griselly. Chicken burger wasn't great. Very limited menu. Quite expensive for what it was. Definitely won't be going there again.

This place was recommended to me by hotel staff for its good food and they definitely provided the food was unbelievable I would definitely recommend!!!

Best Sunday roast in Cardigan. You won’t be disappointed!

We had a fantastic meal at the Copper Pot we were attracted by the specials, oven baked salmon and the Mongolian beef. Preceded by Chimichurri king prawns and Welsh Rarebit. Lovely friendly atmosphere by all who braved the icy pavements this combined with excellent service made the evenings experience. Will definitely revisit

Loved it, delicious food, great service

What a find!!! Amazing food and the staff were so friendly. The spicy Cauliflower starter was delicious and the Salmon on special (see pic) was out of this world!

Booked a table on route and glad I did as it was full when we arrived, small but tasty menu, I had the tacos which were plenty for me. Dog friendly

We visited very last minute, 4 adults & two small dogs ! Service was friendly & attentive, Burgers , Tacos & halloumi burger all generous & tasty! Reasonably priced!

A shame as staff seemed very pleasant but unfortunately there is a problem with smelly drains. The smell made it quite unpleasant and had to leave. Could do with a deep clean generally.

Had a great evening dinner thanks cooper pot! Burger, ribs, fries, all were very tasty and your service was really friendly and efficient. Hopefully will come again soone rather than later 😄

You certainly aren't spoiled for choice in this restaurant as the menu is quite small, but you will definitely be spoiled by the quality of the food which is more important by far. Expect a small menu of burgers, ribs, grills and steaks served and a couple of specials, all served with perfectly cooked starters and sides. We ordered the fried chicken burger and smashed beefburger with a side of fried buffalo cauliflower bites and onion rings. Both were tender and delicious, and came with the freshest, crispiest fries and a lovely coleslaw. The cauliflower bites certainly packed a punch and when we asked for BBQ sauce the chef heated up a pot of what I believe was the delicious sauce that comes with the Copper Pot ribs which was awesome. We will definitely try those next time. The portion of onion rings was huge and perfectly cooked. There was nothing greasy about the food despite it being fried food, and we were both too full for dessert. The service was very friendly and polite throughout. Thank you, we will definitely visit again and wish you were closer to us. My polite recommendations are: A vinegar bottle for each table please! An extra heater in the dining room... it was way too cold and I had to put my coat on... A few more fish and a few more "wet" choices on the menu. A meat chilli/curry or similar? Otherwise keep doing what you do! 😄😄😄

In this place I just ate the BEST beef quesadilla I’ve ever had!! Everyone enjoyed their food, we really loved eating here and definitely recommend this restaurant!! Good job!!

This was the bye far the best dining experience we could have asked for amazing staff amazing food an amazing pub I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a highlight to you holiday it was certainly ours ,five stars doesn't do them justice . Absolutely amazing

Wow needed more than 5 stars for this place, incredible from start to finish, they really couldn't do enough for us. They granted all our wishes, a perfectly quiet area, a table away from any noise to accommodate our sons needs, food cooked exactly how we asked for as he's very specific with what he will eat. Our meal was simply amazing, the best meal out we have ever had, seabass and steak cooked to perfection. Our waitress she was amazing really lovely and attentive, the kitchen chefs doing an incredible job. A big Thanku to the whole team we simply couldn't have asked for anything more

Really, really good American style food. The finger food taccos were far, far better than the award winning British street food taccos I had earlier in the year. We'll be back.

Great beer and excellent food. More restaurant than pub.

Great food and friendly service

Visited here with my boyfriend, we both enjoyed our meals , and the deserts were delicious to ! We will be back . Great attentive staff

Beautiful Sunday lunch and dessert. Highly recommend 👌

Wow, just wow. Honestly we just stumbled upon this place. But wow. The staff were lovely , and Kat our waitress was just wonderful. The food , 😋 😍 👌 🙌 ....amazing . Huge portions and outstanding taste and flavour.

Found completely by accident and what a find...I have never cleared a plate before but I did here. Dog friendly, a gluten free menu. Not a large menu, however, that's a good thing. Staff efficient, helpful and friendly but professional (especially Kat) .Then we get to the food.....amazing , great flavour, good portion size and good wait time 10/10 for the Chef. Would highly recommend

What a fantastic find this is. I think we've just been served by Cat who is an amazing waitress. Very friendly and very attentive. Lovely to have such a warm welcome. The food was amazing. My steak was to die for. My wife's sea bass was melt in the mouth. My friends filthy fries were delicious. The chicken nuggets were delicious. Proper chicken and really large with the best gluten free coating. The desserts were also gorgeous. Chocolate torte was solid chocolate and absolutely amazing. Eton Mess was also delicious. I just haven't got enough adjectives to describe how wonderful this place is. Essential if you are in Cardigan. Can't emphasise how good Cat is also❤️

Wow wow wow Random stop after a day's driving along this beautiful coastline and we find this little gem Staff where lovely Atmosphere is lovely, had an old Inn feel to it When a party of 5 all clear the plates that tells a story itself Then there's the food 15/10

Found completely by accident.. and what a find . I have never cleared a plate before but I did here. Dog friendly, a gluten free menu. Not a large menu but that is a good thing.

Very nice cosy restaurant…… lovey menu🥰

Had such a lovely server can’t remember her name but she was so friendly and made sure we were having a great meal!

What a find! We met some of our family here for lunch and we had such a lovely experience. The flat iron steak was delicious. My husband had the burger, which he says is one of the best he’s ever had (he is quite a burger connoisseur too!). The service was great. We visit Cardigan often and will definitely be back.

7 adults plus a cockapoo went for a birthday celebration last night. 3 of our group our gluten free. We had an incredible meal plus cocktails. Can really recommend thus place. Food great. Staff are helpful and accommodating.

A lovely midweek evening was spent here. A nice, cosy feel to the restaurant and the staff were efficient and friendly. Starter of buffalo cauliflower was delicious. All the of us tucked into steak for our mains and they were cooked, and tastes, beautifully.

We booked a table for 7 people. The food was amazing. I had the veg wrap which came with fries and for dessert white chocolate cheesecake. Highly recommend the copper pot .

Nice restaurant and staff but no vegan main courses or desserts. Shame! Yes they will adapt the vegetarian main dish but how about offering actual vegan options!

Friendly, prompt service without feeling rushed. Food was really nice. Not a huge menu but that's no bad thing. I had the Copper Pot mixed grill which was a greedy man's paradise. Delicious. Would definitely go again.

Lovely restaurant with friendly and helpful staff. The food is exquisite! We were a party of 9 (including 2 fussy eaters) and all of us thoroughly enjoyed it. Good portion sizes. Empty plates all around.

Welcoming staff, prompt service, good food, cosy atmosphere; enough said.

We went on a sunday at about 2pm..they had only 2 serving staff who were overwhelmed. They were pleasant, but it took a half hour to just take our order. The food was good but too slow.

We choose this place as was good rating online and after just eating starter we were already happy. Food is made from scratch and served presentable. Tasted delicious and perfect portions. We left full and satisfied.

A wonderful evening. Very relaxed atmosphere.The staff were very friendly. The food was superb. Busy so definitely worth booking in advance

Great place to eat in Cardigan half way up the High Street. Booking recommended as popular and not many tables. Menu has a limited selection but should cater for most dietary requirements. I can recommend the mixed grill, which I shared with my wife, and was plenty for us. Friendly & welcoming staff. Well worth a visit as a couple or family/group meal.

Fantastic food, amazing staff. The best mixed grill I have had in along time. The dragon breath sausage is amazing. Can’t wait to have a chance to return

Еда очень вкусная, обслуживание оставляет желать лучшего- про наш столик просто забыди, хотя нас было 8 человеу и мы были очень громкие. Место очень загружно, постоянно толпы людей. Но ради вкусной еды, стоит посетить.
