The Robin Hood in Cardiff

My local pub and they have recently started doing really good BBQ food, prepared by Dave, late of the Smokehouse (@SMOKEYDAVE24) who prepares everything from scratch on site. I had the Pork Belly Ribs and have to say that they were absolutely amazing, tender and packed with flavour. Going to have Brisket next, which my friend said was the best he's had. Great pub, with lovely staff, friendly welcome and now top BBQ to complement their lovely Sunday lunches and Summer Pizza out of the wood-fired oven in the beer garden. Give it a try!

Went to try the new smoke house meals, brilliant, the st Louis rib and brisket went down very well. It was a Thursday, so had the added advantage of the quiz afterwards. Great fun. Loved the Wye valley Voodoo beer

My absolute favourite pub by far, lovely garden and great staff. The new food menu by Smokey Dave (smokeydave24 on instagram) is absolutely sensational. I have never had ribs like this before, everything is homemade (no pre-made burgers) and all the meats are smoked for hours giving it such a luscious flavour. Dave’s homemade BBQ sauce is the best I’ve ever had. Definitely a MUST TRY!

Great local pub, laid back. Awesome beer garden.

We love the new Smokey Dave food offerings, it really takes the pub to the next level. We have eaten here a few times and can’t get enough….please bring back the spicy slaw!

Great night out with my mates. Wish it was open longer

It's a pub but they had no draught beer

For the second time in less than a few weeks, the pub has not had any draught ale - All the gassy keg you might wish for (or not?!) but no draught!! Recommendation? Go somewhere else if you want a decent pint!!

Dropped by, had two pints with a friend. Nice atmosphere, reasonably priced, and pleasant staff. Not sure what else you can ask for from a pub.

A wonderful neighborhood parlor on the way home.

these goons charge 11 pound for a double vodka lemonade , but the pub smells of rotten egss ,,so bad we had to sit outside and the toilets are 2 filthy cubicles with no locks in the mens! if your charging that much for a drink in a backstreet pub then u can afford a trip to halfords for a lock

Cool pub, lovely spacious beer garden

Pub opposite our accommodation. Excellent spot for a beer in total relaxation. We didn't eat anything

All good, no complaints Good service....Good good.

The atmosphere is very calm. You can enjoy a good beer. I would return!!!

No main meal items served, however, staff recommended fish & chips could be brought in from place up the road. Friendly & helpful staff, tasty beer, & good (& not loud) music. Great experience. Recommend a visit.

Another great Sunday lunch in the Robin. Beautiful beef, tons of steaming hot vegetables and crispy roasties. Can't fault it. Real value for money too.

It's a good pub. Good people. Da iawn.

Great pub, great atmosphere! Out of the way enough that you only get people there who enjoy the vibe. A cool, spacious garden with plenty of cover and a clay oven for great pizzas...hmmm?!..... Seems I'm lacking with an array of superlatives tonight but you get the idea!

Great Sunday lunch, generous serving for a reasonable price (£13.95). Nice pint too!

Really good local pub, great atmosphere, good beers and an excellent covered, heated garden.

Absolutely great pub. Landlord Paul is a diamond and the staff are really friendly. My go to pub. 😁

Out of towners, visiting family in a city we love and once again not let down. Great welcome, great hosts, great beer and selection and all sat outside under the grape vines. Perfect

Great local. Pleasant rear garden.

This place is a dump.Came in with my partner £12.40 for two pint of Birra moretti. Toilets are a state drug baggies all of the place. Glass all over the floor staff are rude and it stinks. Seems to attracts the dregs of society.

It's not called the Robin Hood for nothing, 2 pints £12.40!!! Avoid. Go to the Ivor Davies 2 pints £4.00, I know it's full of colourful characters but it's a lot more fun. 😃.

Sadly, an anticipated enjoyable Sunday afternoon drink was spoiled by the in-house bar staffs' family take-over of the venue for their kids own fun, screaming and running enjoyment. Fair enough, but please make it private. Paying customers can always take their custom elsewhere to spend their money.

Lovely and welcoming dog friendly pub. We Weren't locals but were made to feel welcome

Brilliant beer garden and a decent pint 👌

Our local WI chose the Robin Hood for our Christmas meal this year. 24 of us enjoyed the delicious meal, charming staff taking and bringing out our choices. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and congratulated all the whole team in the kitchen and the landlord Paul for a great time.

Great atmosphere and a great place to enjoy a relaxing night with a lovely meal and a drink

Had a great few hours in the garden catching up with friends, free firework and bonfire display c/o St Katherines a brucie bonus!!! Pizzas were delish as ever, best pub in the Diff.

Love this pub, quaint, very friendly & helpfull landlord Paul. Great cider & wines at very reasonable prices. Staff always friendly & efficient. Great lounge & bar, covered beer garden at back with a lovely grape vine.Great pizzas cooked here. Always a lovely warm atmosphere & welcome .

Beautiful Sunday dinner . Only down fall they charged five pounds for a extra small chicken breast

Went here for a pint with a friend but the smell of the outdoor pizza oven persuaded us to stay for food. The pizza was delicious, one of the best I've had! Haven't been here in ages, so was pleasantly surprised to see how much it had changed. Lovely garden out the back, plenty of sun spots and shaded areas. All the staff were super nice and got through the queues quickly. Will 100% be back, thank you!

This pub used to be my local in 1971/73 when I was a student. It was 46 years and a week since I had been in. In that time it has changed a lot, for the better from what I saw. Only disappointment the dart board had gone but still some real ale.

Food is all home cooked, presented well and arrives hot. The waiting staff are very friendly and accommodating. It's suitable for families and couples. The atmosphere in the evenings for a social get together is warm. This pub has a lovely spacious undercover beer garden also.

Good pint and lovely to sit outside in the Spring sunshine. Friendly staff. A great Sunday lunch too!

Staff and landlord is a absolute start

One of the best Sunday roast in cardiff

When do you fire up the pizza oven?

Great for a social drink. Everyone always friendly

Last bastion of a traditional boozer left in Canton/Pontcanna. The pub caters for everyone and Paul is great (longstanding) Landlord.

Love this pub, staff are so friendly. Brilliant atmosphere, one of the best pubs around.

Friendly and nice outdoor seating.

Popped in for a few drinks before going for a meal.i wish I stayed and had a pizza. It's a great pub good beer a lovely beer garden and the food smelt lovely. I will be back.

Great community atmosphere. Lovely meeting the staff. Will definitely be returning soon. 👌

Drinks a little expensive and would like to see more ales on tap however it's a nice pub and awesome beer garden.

Great location very friendly with a great Beer Garden at the rear.

Great atmosphere as usual, bar and waiting staff are polite and professional. Even if this time we only stopped for a quick drink.

Amazing food as always. 2 Sunday roasts in one month, I just couldn't stay away! Generous with portions and expertly cooked. Meat is perfect and beautiful 😋 seating is well distanced and sanitised frequently. Wonderful and cozy throughout and comfortable beer garden.

Awesome Beer Garden, great pizza freshly made, highly recommended 👌

What a gem! The food was delicious, the garden was cozy, the service was on point. We are definitely going to become regulars

Lovely beer garden but unfortunately were out of the beer we wanted and sadly no pizza oven but I assume this is due to covid. Overall a nice chilled place and friendly staff 😊

Pizza was burned as was every one I saw that left the oven. Server had a go at us for switching to an empty table, but the chef was free to join his mates at their table no problem. One rule for some. Otherwise the staff were friendly and it's a tidy pub

Some lovely staff work there, and their stonebaked pizzas are rather wonderful (the garlic one is just as good and a lot cheaper). Only downside is some misogynistic men who go there, but I suppose that's a lot of pubs.

Good pub too dear alright for a passing beer to see mates

Very friendly staff, lovely food. Pretty, covered outside area.

Been here for some 30+ years...... Met the Mother of my Son (to be) here in 1991 Xx

top day out brilliant people and top service I'd like to thank them all

A community hub. Great entertainment and food.

Can I just say what a lovely take away Sunday lunch today, everything was cooked to perfection. I had the pork with amazing crunchy crackling and lovely fresh vegetables, huge amounts of thick slices of moist roast pork in a tasty gravy. Well done guys

Take out Sunday dinners are lovely and well worth the money

Lovely beer garden and staff are very accommodating

Lovely Sunday roast in a traditional pub, with great friendly service.

Amazing food, staff very friendly. Sunday roast was amazing. Highly recommended.

A really lovely neighbourhood pub - we have visited on and off for years - and recently have been going more frequently for drinks, food etc. The lounge is lovely and cosy and the bar is great. We visited on Sunday and had a really wonderful lunch, two of us had beef, two had chicken and both meals were fab - very tasty and great value. Also, the staff are always so helpful and friendly. And as an added bonus.....you often spot a current/ex Welsh Rugby layer in there! A lovely pub - highly recommend.

Great independent pub in Pontcanna. The staff are super friendly and the food is superb. Sunday lunch highly recommended.

Waitress and venue were lovely. However there was one angry gentlemen that was quite assive aggressive. Disappointed. Edit: owner is lovely

Visited for Sunday Lunch, 8 adults and 1 child. Between us we had a mixture of beef, chicken and pork. All thoroughly enjoyed their lunches, roast potatoes and yorkshire puddings were amazing! Friendly staff, will be returning.

I love this pub. Greeted with genuine hospitality from the first afternoon we walked in to this day. Beautiful rare art nouveau exterior, gorgeous garden and a good old honest split bar/lounge.

Staff friendly, food is amazing!

Real local pub but very welcoming and peaceful when everytime I visited.

Never new this place even existed but what a great beer garden in the heart of life.

It's been awhile since I've been there

Went there for my mother's 85th birthday party. Really friendly staff and a very tasty buffet

Visited this pub recently to check out the Karaoke night. This is a nice little place with a friendly crowd. The Karaoke is organised well. They don't have song lists, but they practically have every song you can think of.

One of the great locals in Cardiff Sunday lunch a must. We missing that already on our world tour

We visited tonight before going for a bite to eat, my partner is the most polite petson ever and tbe staff were so rude. He asked politely for drink the server who was female didnt even look at him, we ordered 2x large gin and tonic and snacks and again she spoke to her colleague but didnt look at us, we are a male couple but i dont think it was homophobic i think she was just rude. Anway avoid this place

Went for the Thursday quiz night, quiz was great!

Delicious roast. Very tasty vegetables and great meat.

Live music in the lounge brilliant, just a little bit too loud .

Great place,Great beer and wonderful atmosphere. Well worth a visit

Always a great welcome at the Robin Hood! Staff are really friendly, will go out of there way to help you out.

First time and I will definately be going back. Food great excellent prices and service. What more can you want!

Nice serve and the prices were reasonable

Faultless as ever - perfect. Does a very good quiz to boot. Eliot x

Loved this place music was spot on and karaoke as well bring it on. Staff were very helpful and polite I would go back here

Reasonable prices but basic drinks. Atmosphere wasnt to my taste.

Nice and peaceful place, good service and good beer 😊👍

Very nice local pub with good food and very nice bar staff. Could use some modernizing.

Lovely Irish barmaid, simply charming.

Love it :) best pub in cardiff hands down x

OK for a quiet pint most days.Quiz night Thursday.

went here on a Friday night with an old school friend. Great pub, great beer. 👍

Expensive, but overall quite a pleasant environment, especially out in the beer garden.

Called in for a drink looking for somewhere to hold our fortnightly silver surfers lunchtime meeting for 18 - 20 people. Nice pub and really welcoming staff. What let it down was all the loud swearing and cursing coming from the bar. No need for it but no thank you. This lets a tidy pub down.

Called in for lunch, all food served was really nice, steak very tender and very tasty. Fish was just as good. Great staff, very attentive. I would highly recommend this local pub. Great to see pub serving great food and drink. This will be our go to place.

Lovely pub, lovely service. Felt very welcomed.

Sunday lunch in the lounge is very nicely done. Not an extensive menu just the usual suspects with a nice portions fresh veggies and friendly service.
