The Corner House in Cardiff

Booked because we have been in for drinks a few times and wanted somewhere nice for Sunday roast The service was terrible the place was not busy but waited over half an hour for food which was brought to us we were given no cutlery had to go and ask and a member of staff went off to go and get some food had been sat at the table almost 10 minutes by the time we got cutlery. We asked for mint sauce and got a small plastic pot. The menu offers bottomless gravy however no one came to check how our meal was or if we needed anything. The roast was pretty good meat lovely potatoes were more like a new potato than a roasted one. The table next to us had 3 members of staff 1 or 2 eating another on a laptop. Customer service was definitely lacking for the price I would expect table service and attentive staff.

Absolutely stunning food, best food I have had in ages. Corner house did not disappoint, every mouthful had our tstebuds jumping for joy, not one single complaint! We will definitely be returning. Thank you Mike, Brett and team, we had a lovely evening 😀 We had calamari, port & cheddar mushrooms, followed by surf and turf and pork belly with scallops.

Called in here by chance walking passed, absolutely delicious food and very reasonable prices goats cheese and haloumi fries and prawn and chorizo pizza WOW it was taste sensation. Highly recommend

Service from a very tall gentlman was great but the food very below par Sticky chicken ok not very hot. My steak over cooked very dry , scallops on my wifes pork tasted and smelt very strong ! Very disappointed told the server no one came over. DM looked very bored just yawning !!

We enjoyed a lovely roast here in September 2024. There were eight of us, and we arrived a bit late due to traffic; the staff were completely understanding of this. One person in our party had allergies, which the staff managed very well. Even though restaurant was quite busy, the staff made sure to check on how the food was and offered more drinks, etc. The food was delicious. Rhoda, our waiter, was so welcoming and attentive. I highly recommend the roast here! Excellent food and customer service.

Had such good food and service at Christmas, we booked again for 70th birthday. Big party, service was good, food excellent and beautifully presented.

Had beautiful food here but what made it extra special was the service by Lewis A really friendly lovely polite young man, very impressed 👏🏼

Had such a lovely evening meal with the family. Elizabeth was such a lovely waitress and took care of us the whole evening. Would definitely come again!

Came in for a quick lunch and some drinks, plenty of beer options, Asahi and Guinness were both lovely and service from Elizabeth was excellent.

Really enjoyed our meal, our server Elizabeth made it very special. Perfect and affordable for a nice Sunday gathering with friends.

Great Sunday roast in cardiff, good wine list and food was great. Our server Elizabeth was great taking our order for a big table and was really helpful and friendly. We’ll be back

The wife and I had a lovely night out at the Corner House Great food and fab service - Elizabeth looked after us very well Would highly recommend

Had a fantastic dinner with family! The food was excellent and service was great especially our waitress Milly! She made the experience special!

Had a lovely meal. Food was delicious and our waitress Milly was very helpful.. The location is perfect, Would definitely recommend.

Great place for a tasty pub lunch. Warm atmosphere with quick and cheery staff - Meg was especially helpful. Will be visiting again

So surprised at how good this place is after reading reviews. Absolutely spectacular food was delicious beautiful place , but what made it for me was the service from a man named Craig. I can not thank you enough for everything you went above &...

Whole environment was really lovely, the staff were awesome, Megghy in particular! She didn't stop the whole time and me and my friends could not have thanked her enough. Will be coming back for food next time

Great dinner spot. It was our first time visiting. Such a lovely atmosphere. Our server Meg was superstar! Definitely returning🤩

my server, Megghy, was super lovely, very informative about allergies etc. she was knowledgeable about everything and we had such a great time, and it was a massive credit to her! would recommend this place to anyone. x

My husband and I came in last minute for a meal and we weren't disappointed. From the minute we walked in the staff were attentive and helpful. The food was delicious, fresh and cooked well. Our server Elisabeth was very polite and even tempted us...

Had such a lovely evening celebrating a friend’s bday. We had a lovely waitress called Meg who took care of us and was particularly helpful at picking out things in the menu that would suit my dietary requirements! Would definitely come again!

Really enjoyed our evening here. Food and drinks were reasonably priced for centre of town. Nice atmosphere, attentive staff. Loos could have been a bit better maintained. Waitress Milly was very helpful and made an effort to help us get a gluten free meal. Would...

Service was good and Milly was great. The chicken burger was lovely but the sea bass wasn’t great. Reasonably priced for Cardiff centre.

Wonderful evening with friends, great food and great service. Meg was a superstar all evening! Will 100% be returning.

Came in with my family. Great service by Meggy. She was very understanding and helped us find something my child would eat.

Fantastic food and very kid friendly, our little ones loved it! The servers were all very attentive too with our waitress Milly being particularly great

Went for dinner here, we had two ribeyes cooked to perfection along with other great dishes, lovely atmosphere and our waitress named 'Milly' was amazing!

Went here last year was lovely, was seeing an old school friend xxx was served by Millie who was very nice and attentive I would go again.

Excellent service throughout the evening. The waitress Meg went above and beyond for us. We will definitely be back!!!

Lovely food and service from our server Elizabeth, will definitely return. Great central location. Many thanks to all

We visited on a trip to Cardiff with family. The food and drink was good, but great service from Meggy today! We will come again!

Meghann was an amazing host to a night out with friends! Great service, great food and great atmosphere! We will be back!

Went for a drink with my boyfriend at the end of a date night. Great location right in town. The service honestly made my night. The server Megghy was so kind and cheerful!

Very disappointed and frankly confused by the situation. We had booked bottomless brunch for 9 work colleagues, a few weeks in advance before the day. On arrival, one party was not drinking and therefore asked if they could just order from the normal menu and...

Awful experience Went for bottomless brunch with group of 9 ladies at 2pm. Had been there for 45 mins and had only been served one drink each, complained and asked for more drinks , only allowed to order when all had finished drinks . Refused...

Can't believe what happened today. 9 of us (work colleagues, various ages, all female), booked in for a bottomless brunch. Not cheap, but the menu looked lovely. We turned up on time at 2. We were informed that we had an hour an A half,...

Had an amazing family meal tonight fabulous food and amazing service by Elizabeth! Absolutely lovely waitress definitely would recommend! Food was stunning!

First time going to the cornea house for a meal with family of 16 for sons birthday the staff work so hard the food was cooked to perfection tasted amazing will be returning

I often book the Corner House Restaurant for Dinner, when I visit Cardiff. On Saturday night, while the bar was very busy, the restaurant was not and had empty tables. When our table was ready we were shown to a table, next to the stairs,...

Great roast - huge so go with a good appetite. Service great. Atmosphere lovely ( we were in the restaurant). Recommend.

We visited at lunch time on Valentine’s Day. The menu had a good selection of vegetarian options and sounded very good. The place itself appeared somewhat unclean. We ordered scallops & the prawn dish for starters, scallops came with parsnip purée (apparently), you would need...

Great place to eat, socialize, and enjoy your company. The food was exceptional, including our greeting from the host, and Mouse! The warmth, friendliness, and ambiance was more than we expected, and we enjoyed every minute of it! Thank you all!

We went to The Corner House on Christmas Day which meant there was a big expectation for great service. We were shown to our table which was quite small and tucked away in a corner which kind of suited us as we wanted a quiet...

A pleasant evening Turned up 20mins before our booking and was kindly taken to our table. We were served by the lovely beth. Our drinks were served within a few minutes of ordering. My partner had an alcohol free mocktail which she loved. We had...

lovely place, great after day out in cardiff, bartender lewis provided prompt, friendly service, would definitely come again

Milly was great. Disappointing that some things were out of stock but I suppose we had come later in the day so it is to be expected.

Everything about the visit was great, friendly welcome from Ellis, lovely food and fantastic service. Would recommend and can’t wait to come back!

Our table was booked for 7.15pm and we didn’t receive our main course until 9.10pm. Ridiculous to wait that long. Only 2 out of the party had starters and they didn’t arrive until 8.30pm. Honestly the service was appalling. Members of the group missed their...

Absolutly rubbish service. Dont bother. So many choices in cardiff. Not a place I would attempt to go to again

Had ribeye steak and chips for an evening meal. Staff were good and the place had a nice atmosphere. I'm not keen on loud music and am pleased the PA system wasn't over the top. Chips don't do a lot for me either but these...

On a very chilly night we had a fabulous midweek early evening “big” birthday celebration. 4 ladies , toasty , drinking the recommended Prosecco (which I must say was “very drinkable” ooops on a school night !! Surroundings & atmosphere just perfect, bar staff happy...

We got charged £7.90 for 2 small cokes, no menu showing the cost of the soft drinks, so this was ridiculous. How can any place justify this cost? Absolute shocker.

The waiting staff were great but the food was awful. Roast dinner came cold to our table, the waitress took it back to the kitchen where it was ‘warmed up’ which came back to us tepid. We asked for a fresh hot plate and after...

The food and drink were very lovely, especially the Asahi. Staff friendly and helpful with all queries.

The food was delicious and chef Michael produced the best lemon sole we have ever had. Particularly at the end of a hectic Christmas season. He has been in this job for three days and we hope that he stays- we will definitely be back.

Never been to a restaurant for Christmas Day so my expectations weren’t that high, however I was pleasantly surprised as to how good i5 was. The restaurant was decorated beautifully, atmosphere was great , staff friendly and accommodating, our waitress Sophie was a delight. Food...

We have been here several times and the food & service cannot be faulted in our opinion. However, for some inexplicable reason the manager thinks it appropriate to crank the music volume upstairs to 9/10! Asked on numerous occasions, the waitresses, if it could be...

Had our works Xmas meal at corner house. Great food and great service by Kim tonight. Will definitely recommend and return.

Went for the Festive Christmas menu. Superb service, superb food. Looking forward to loo going back there.

Absolutely appalling! The worse service ever experienced, anywhere. After nearly 2 hours after arriving we still hadn’t been served our mains! So we left. We did get our starters (after half an hour of waiting) but our main courses never arrived and when we asked...

I was really looking forward to our meal here before a show but it was so disappointing. The menu looked so well put together. We ordered three mojitos to start which were awful, no taste and the soda water used was flat. The staff were...

Staff are lovely, always helpful. We didn't eat on this occasion but we have never been disappointed. I love the corner house.

Had table booked and when taken to table only 1 chair for two and they had to get one from upstairs. Ordered prawn with feta and when it arrived it did not look appetising and some prawns tasted raw and it smelt of sick. Gave...

Christmas meal, large party, resteraunt was insanely busy, but the food was excellent and the service superb. Well done kitchen and service .

Having walked around Cardiff for ages we spotted this lovely traditional pub and popped in for a sit down. The place was nicely appointed and the staff friendly. We had a couple of cold drinks and then left.

Brilliant service, brilliant food, this is our second year doing an annual trip to Cardiff and due to it being so good last time we went again last night. The floor staff work so hard and it’s so busy but this doesn’t compromise the service. I had a starter as a main which they accommodated due to not having a big appetite. The only downfall we had was my mum had a fillet of pork, which was lovely however the outer part of the meat was incredibly tough, I think it had been overdone. But she ate everything else and only left the tougher part of meat. I had scallops, they were like butter.. so was my sisters steak and my aunt had sea bass, again, beautiful food. Reasonably priced for what it is also, and the drinks were great for cocktails, but as I don’t drink much the non alcoholic cocktails were also super yummy. Can’t wait to see you guys again soon! Also shout out to the bouncers on the door, polite, respectful and gentleman getting the doors for everyone. Thanks guys!

Looks like a traditional comfortable pub which is great. On arrival we needed the loo but the ladies and gents had problems so we were guided to the disabled loo which hadn’t been used for a while. There were cobwebs in it which was quite good considering Halloween was the night before - but it was dirty. I had the soup which was tasteless and luke warm. Carrot and coriander isn’t difficult to make? I had salmon on noodles which didn’t match the description on menu which was chef’s specials. The salmon was big thank goodness as the noodles were a big lump with various other bits and bobs thrown in. Husband had a steak which he enjoyed but all in all £80 was awful. I didn’t say anything as the table next to us had already said their steak was too tough to cut. Not quite sure what happened to their chef last night but he may have had night off

We visited as a family, we were made aware by front of house that there were no bread rolls for any of the burgers, which for a City Centre pub is bonkers. But we decided to have food anyway. We then went up to the bar and we’re refused food as she said they had stopped taking food orders at 2:30pm no reason why. So as we went to leave front of house said no it’s ok I’ve told them to serve you, you the last food orders. So back to the bar to be told that not only do they not have any rolls but there were no Chicken dishes available so that took out about half the menu. Give this place a wide berth.

A relaxed atmosphere with very good food for lunch. The staff were very pleasant and gave us just the right amount of attention

Have tried a variety of dishes off the menu and a variety of drinks and have been amazed each time. Such wonderful food and a lovely vibe in the city centre. Always happy to pay the prices as the food is delicious. All the staff are lovely and helpful. We will definitely return again!

Saturday afternoon. Place look quiet. Didnt book a table. Manager showed us table upstairs. We ordered burger, chicken and round of drinks. Bill was around 48£. I'm try to use my employee discount but didnt work. Unfortunately they told me " you used your discount today" shame. Lucky one of the manager gave me 20% off. Food was ok, FOH bery helpfull. 4 stars seems enough

Excellent dinner and friendly pub atmosphere in the center of town. It is an old building with some charm and the food was even better than we’d hoped. Seafood well prepared! Order at the bar.

Had a lovely experience here, food was great, service by Tia was outstanding. Kaylum was very helpful and the atmosphere was relaxing. Definitely recommend this as a place to go anytime your in the area.

My friends and I went here for bottomless bubbles to celebrate a birthday, Téa our server was attentive and excellent at her job and made sure our glasses were full. The food was delicious! Will definitely be back!

Amazing night out!! From the moment we arrived, it felt welcoming and inviting, we were able to sit where we wanted. The staff were very attentive and able to answer all questions we had about the menu and after an excellent recommendation from kaylum, I chose the pork belly and it was beyond any expectation! I will be revisiting.

I went in for bottomless bubbles, Tea our server was really good and very friendly and she made sure that our glasses were topped up , and the food was amazing ! Will definitely make a back!

Long days shopping this is a great venue for a glass of something, not the cheapest 2x Rose £20 but perfect city centre venue opposite the IVY and between a number of restaurants and other bars, the sun was out and the area set aside for drinks sits in a lovely position.

Great service and food , the cocktails are also very good, fast and professional service, we will be back soon….. thanks

Nice atmosphere in the pub and despite taking our booking for the restaurant online we were weren't told in advance that the restaurant wasn't open. We did have a table in the pub which was fine, but right next to a loudspeaker and also next to the disabled toilets which was ok but had to shut the loo door a couple of times that someone had left open and the smell wasn't too pleasant when you're trying to eat. The music in the pub as a whole wasn't too loud, but being next to the loudspeaker made conversation quite difficult. Waitress was very friendly and helpful and the food was fairly good if unexceptional. Would return, but not for a meal unless the restaurant was open.

Went here yesterday and had a Sunday roast, the food came quick, the food was hot and very tasty for a good price. I had a trio of 3 meats, beef, pork and chicken breast the meat was tender and succulent and fell apart and...

Me and my partner was looking for a place to eat and we went passed the corner house but had to come back and pop in and what can I say we were not disappointed very happy cheerful bubbly staff witch made it the place...

Great location so we decided to sit outside for dinner. 4 of us ordered mains and the girl on the till didn’t seem to competent. 10 mins later dopey waiter came out wandering about with 2 plates we said is that for us as we...

Such a lovely welcoming pub! Genuine lovely staff who were (as always) so friendly, helpful and obliging. Been there a few times and it’s never been any different! Thank you all, your an absolute pleasure!

We had a delicious sunday roast here on Easter Sunday. I enjoyed the trio of meats and the veggies were fantastic! We were lucky enough to be served by the manager and he was very friendly and chatted away with us. Nothing was too much...

Fabulous atmosphere, service was excellent as was the food! We had a pizza and the half chicken with fries, both were stunning 🥰. Thank you Eimear, Ellis, Jacob and Sophie !

Always fantastic service by Ellis and Sophie on the bar, and Rhods out on floor. Cocktails tasted beautiful too. Always happy to recommend this place :)

To start we were wedged in amongst two tables so close we could touch elbows with neighbouring customers. We ordered drinks within five minutes of arrival and only got the one drink, the second drink came 20 minutes later. I ordered the trio of meat....

Lovely place to go for a Sunday lunch. Food was amazing, we had a couple of pre lunch cocktails and the wine was also really nice with our meal. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was great. Could have quite happily stayed all afternoon...

Went to the corner house for a Sunday dinner was very unimpressed, had a amaretto sour which was hardly drinkable and a beaver town draft that was flat. Ordered the Sunday roast chicken and the dirty burger with billionaire fries. Wrong meals arrived first they...

We had a valentines meal here. The service from Tim was phenomenal, very professional and helpful. The actual food wasn’t as great, but overall we had a good experience.

Visited about 2.15 on a relatively quiet Sunday afternoon in January, we had heard rave reviews about the Sunday Roast. Had to wait about 5 minutes at the bar to be served only to be told no food was available although the person ordering next...

**Bottomless Prosecco** 6 of us did the bottomless Prosecco and 2 course meal. It really was amazing! The food was so tasty, the Prosecco was fully flowing and our waitress Kim, was so warm and attentive! The chicken for starters was a very generous portion,...

Always enjoyed the Corner House for food and drinks, however yesterday's experience came up short. Food & drinks were fine but no toilet facilities for my better half. They were expected to leave the premises and use the toilets in John Lewis or someplace else....

We booked for a party of four. Told only upon travelling here that the disabled as wee as the female toilets were out of service. We were the only party on the upper level and knew when the gents toilet was empty. Our plan was...

We arrived for our 2pm sitting. We were eventually seated 35 minutes later and received our starters at 15:15. It was a long wait for our children but we didn’t mind the wait. What we did mind was the lack of communication from staff as...

Had an amazing Christmas Day lunch here . Food was delicious and staff were excellent, great atmosphere a wonderful day celebrating the festivities.

Please do not waste your time or money at this venue. The place is very grubby and the menus we were given were filthy and sticky. We left before ordering anything to eat as a member of staff was unhelpful and incredibly rude. So disappointed...

Accommodated my business meeting last minute on a busy friday in December, the staff were very friendly and left us to it when necessary. Food was lovely, and drinks were quick! Would highly recommend!

We went here for Sunday lunch and although the food was tasty all 4 meals, including the starters, were luke warm. We also asked for water for the table 3 times and never received any. Very disappointed as we’ve been before and it was lovely....

We have been here a few times for a roast dinner and it's always been really lovely. We came for a roast on Sunday and we were served by Pheobe, she was really attentive and friendly which made the experience all the better! Thank you...
