The Village Inn in Cardiff

Ni food being served at 6 clock on a Sunday

One of the party uses a walker. The pathway to the front door is not suitable for people with limited mobility. Please either fix the path, or provide an alternate entrance. Service was great. Food was OK - average pub food.

Attentive staff, great atmosphere, lovely food

Amazing pub and food, prices are so affordable and staff are always friendly and welcoming. Food is always on point and served in a great timely manor, would definitely recommend great for catch ups, enjoying an evening out

Had the most amazing food here for the first time, Tom cooked my food and it was unbelievable, usually I'm not sure what "chefs" they have in there, if u can call them that

Staff were lovely, however the food was overcooked (black, chewy burger pattys), the wrong burger was made, and it was all on the cool side (chips were barely over room temperature). It took 40 mins to arrive, by which point we were hungry and needed to get on with our trip, so didn't have time to wait for any replacement meals. Generally disappointing.

Had lovely breakfast at the village inn with friends,staff we happy and helpful And able to help With adjustments due to allergies at our table

Food was served already cold , long wait, 8 minutes waiting for 2 slice of toast, one proper burned and other okay ( eatable) coffe served in dirty cup with a big chip and hygiene standards very low on this place.

Myself and my husband enjoyed a lovely lunch today at the village inn,we were served by Olivia who was so friendly and attentive ,food was hot and delicious and such good value ,we will definitely visit again 😋

Called in for coffee and wifi, but decided to have lunch when I saw someone being served a meal. I chose Steak and chicken combo woth chips, which was delicious, and didn't have to wait long! Ellie checked in to see how my meal was, I had no complaints, it was lovely.

Have to say what an experience from start to finish. We were meet by a lovely member staff called Olivia who couldn’t help us enough, explained the menu and gave great recommendations. We will return

Came for breakfast and Olivia who served us went above and beyond to help. amazing service. Food was great. All round great experience.

It is bank holiday weekend. All the staff are running about working hard. All have a smile and are friendly. Can not recommend them enough. We will definitely be back. The food was amazing. Thank you so much we are on holiday for a family get together but will be back. 5 stars all round. The manager liv was absolutely brilliant. Managing her staff and working just as hard as everyone else. We asked for the managers name for the review.

Very friendly staff, lovely food with generous portions and great value for money.

Great atmosphere, food & staff especially Livvy!

Absolutely amazing food. Friendly staff and brilliant atmosphere. Would strongly recommend to anyone !!!

We have been to this pub multiple times and it’s Such a beautiful family pub, lovely large garden for the kids to play, very clean with friendly staff aswell as amazing 5* food 🤤 the manager was very hands on and is part of the staff rather then just sat there like many pubs I have been too I would definitely recommend ❤️

Amazing staff Matt, Jaz and Lilly. Love it here. Great service and lovely pub.

Waited ages to be served. Food OK for the money paid.

Had to wait to be served as nobody was servicing .we then ordered breakfast when somebody finally appeared We ordered 2 big breakfast it came to the table cold ,eggs where raw on the top not cooked properly a tea spoon of beans.tables where sticky ,floors dirty will not be recommending anybody to this establishment.not happy at all.

Lovely pub, great food and customer service. Willing to accommodate with dietary requirements. Will 100% be returning.

Great service, shout out to Freya, lovely lady who went above and beyond to cater for my fussy teenagers. Will definitely return 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Love the food and reasonable prices 👌 Staff very friendly too. My new favourite eating place 😋

Came here for a meeting with my work colleagues, Livvy provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere and deserves a 5/5 for her service!

Fantastic atmosphere in this establishment, cannot praise the team enough, Livvy is an absolute star 👌👌

I’ve been a customer here for many years and I have to say that the staff always go out of their way to be super friendly and helpful. Freya and Livvy 10/10 as always!!

Always great food & atmosphere! The best local!

Visited this pub Sunday 7th July. Was impressed with the service here. We were sat outside having a drink after walking our dog Leo. A lady called Liv came out and made a big fuss of our dog and went and got him a bowl of water. She came back out a few times and made a fuss of him and had a chat with us. Lovely friendly staff here. Will definitely return.

The Village Inn Cardiff, I couldnt recommend it enough! The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond. The food is fantastic, especially the sirloin steak which i prefer not on a sizzler out of preference, which is always cooked to perfection. The breakfast there is simply unreal, especially the hashbrown bites. Its the perfect way to start your day. Also the events hosted at the Village Inn are always amazing, bringing a lively and enjoyable atmosphere which is perfect for adult and kids. The Saturday night discos with karaoke are always a blast, and the live band Zion Road, that often visits brings a great vibe to the pub. If your looking for great food or a friendly atmosphere for drinks, I 100% recommend the Village Inn its defiantly worth it.

Had a lovely meal here tonight with my wife the tandoori skewers were really nice and the beef ribs delicious would highly recommend. Bar staff and Livvy in particular are great.

Lovely time in the village today. Livvy and staff were amazing. Jack also stands out as a star. So helpful. So Lovely 😍 xx

I had the surf and turf and was probably the best steak I've ever had in the village inn was cooked perfect

Service awful, only one person behind the bar. Food nothing special.

nice place but food portions are very small.

Food order all wrong. Freezing cold and forks and knives germy and disguting clearly not washed properly

Fantastic food, family friendly. Great choice and fab service from Freya. Will be returning

Visited yesterday (6th June) and was served by a lovely young lady called Faith, she was very polite and always had a smile on her face. Will be back again 💕

Absolutely appalling service, we arrived as a party of 8 at 6.30, had a booking, sat down and ordered our food and drinks. food arrived just short of 2 hours later. everything was stone cold, chips were rock solid, meat was dry. it was like eating plasterboard. staff were very unfriendly and did not seem bothered about our long wait. we had an 8 year old in our party, im sure you can imagine waiting 2 hours for food with a starving 8 year old. Will not be returning.

Absolutely shocking. Tables and carpets dirty and plates left. Food finally arrived after waiting over an hour and was over cooked and disgusting. Staff swearing and shouting. Not a family restaurant at all. Would appreciate a full refund.

Not much was great and the time you waited for food could be improved. 45 minutes and had then to send it back!

amazing food, staff were friendly and helpful

Great value for money and staff were welcoming 👍🏼

Just a fun place to hang great service and lovely staff Prices are good as well

Superb friendly staff. Thank you. Food nicely presented and cooked to perfection 👌

First visit, probably won't go again. No real issues with anyone or anything. Just wasn't my sort of place

Food was nice. Very reasonably priced x

Good food lovely staff called in on our way from Spire Hospital enjoyed our visit😃

Only popped in for a drink, the service was great and the bar staff were fab.

Food is ok cheap and cheerful. Service has gone downhill recently. Went for food, tables not cleaned still had the previous people's dirty dishes on, food took ages to arrive after ordering. And plates were not taken away when we had finished, still on the table when we left.

Coming to the village for a long time. Great family pub. Quiz nights hosted by Liv are absolutely fantastic and a great part of the community.

Great fun at the weekly quiz with the lovely Livv

Amazing place to go for food, great staff. Beautiful atmosphere. Really enjoyed my time there, couldn't ask for better service

Unless you are a local and know everyone who drinks here, do not go here for a meal... Especially on a Cardiff City match day. We enjoy trying new places to eat out, whether it's a pub or a fancy restaurant, or even a decent takeaway. We had never tried The Village Inn, and living only a few miles away we thought we would give it a try. First off, it's not a great sign when you arrive for food, it's only 6:45pm, and there's already security staff on the door. Never been anywhere for food that has security. As soon as we walked in, we quickly realised that we were the only non-locals in there, and the looks and glares from people made us realise straight away that we weren't welcome... But ya know, I ain't easily intimidated and neither were my friends, so we continued and got seated at a table. Immediately, the locals sat at the next table made us feel unwelcome, staring us out, leaning back on their chairs, bumping the table, talking about us at the top of their voices... Pathetic. But it was bad enough that my wife was ready to start a fight! Anyway, we ordered our food at the bar, locals cutting in ahead of us to order their drinks as if they had more right to be served before us...and then we sat back down, taking in the frosty atmosphere while we waited for our food, which wasn't too long to come out and in all fairness was pretty decent for the prices. Everything was good quality and prepared well. My wife's steak was perfect, and the gammon was really nice... No issues at all! But all the time we were getting stared at, talked about, bumped... And people were being sick around the other side of the bar, heated arguments kicked off, with senior staff joining in and trying to calm things down... But it never really got much better. After finishing our mains, I went up to the bar to order desserts, but that was a struggle because a few worse for wear locals refused to move while I ordered, then refused to move when I tried to tap my card on the reader... So I just leant over them to pay. They didn't like that, but it was tough because I had no choice. And then came the wait for the desserts... Considering we were 4 of maybe 10 people that were eating, the kitchen wasn't exactly busy, but they still forgot to do our desserts, so after 40 minutes we asked where they were and 10 minutes later they were brought out. Again, nice enough desserts, no complaints. By the time we finished, it was getting a bit more lively in there, too lively for the karaoke by the looks of it... They brought in the equipment to set it up, but left with the equipment about 15 minutes later, at which time the kitchen staff were back and forth with jugs of water to clean up the puke that was all over the floor around the other side of the bar. To sum up the evening, staff were friendly and food was good...even if they forgot about our desserts, and I'm sure this place is fine when it's a bit quieter. But if Cardiff City are playing, or have played that day, then avoid. Me and my son are Cardiff City fans, but we are not local to The Village Inn, and this is a place (like many other places in Cardiff) where you don't feel welcome if the local fans don't recognise you. So unfortunately, we won't be going back there, and won't be recommending it either. Especially on a match day.

absolutely amazing grate atmosphere from the moment we stepped in arrived mega early and it wasn't a bother to them food was amazing and the cherry Berry fish bowl was absolutely delicious will definitely see you again soon liv and her team was so welcoming thank you for a lovely valentines evening

The staff were very helpful with me trying out different gift cards. The Food came very quickly and was very nice. Very good customer service from the waiter.

Amazing as always. The quality of food is great, so affordable and the staff are lovely!

Good food and great service..Olivia is the best

From as soon as my family and myself went in we was welcomed, the service was great and the food was well made and piping hot as well as well presented . I think there is no improvement required everything was great , thank you

Absolutely awful service. I reserved a table for 5:45-7 but due to traffic’s we arrived at 6. Told our table had gone but told (quite bluntly and unprofessionally) that we could have a table but would have to vacant by 7:15 due to another booking. This was ok with us. Ordered food and drinks by 6:10 via table service app. At 6:35 I had to go and ask for our drinks as they had not been delivered. Bar lady arranged for this even though she had no idea what our order was. I also confirmed that they had received our order. Food arrived at 6:50 and how disappointed. I had chicken on a sizzling plate with chips. The peppers were burnt and didn’t taste fresh or even like peppers. Chicken was very thin and so much garlic on it that it made mouth burn and took away taste of the meal. Not a full bowl of chips. Then felt pressured to finish our meal regardless of the slow service. The restaurant was quiet so they can not blame being busy

Great pub for food and also if you love your sports as they have a nice pit area with comfy seats and plenty of room. Can't fault the staff there they go above and beyond to make sure you have a positive experience. We will defo be coming back soon the GM Joey and his team are doing a fantastic job.

Very nice place friendly staff free parking just type your reg in at the bar machine and away you go highly recommend

As someone who suffers with anxiety. Pubs are not my favourite place. However this place is wonderful. The atmosphere is always amazing and welcoming . Bar staff are lovely , especially Liv who is always friendly and a very good laugh while always keeping it professional and well maintained !

Visited several times previously. On this occasion the food was very average, the service also average even poor. Don't visit this place when there's football on the TV, it's bedlam. You have been warned...

Amazing entertainment,very family orientated, friendly staff go above and beyond to help you,clean and amazing door staff on weekends

Service was great staff friendly food was lovely good team of staff

It is more of a restaurant than a pub.service was slow but the meal was well cooked and good value for the money.

Decent pub , decent grub, tidy helpful staff , no frills but decent prices 👌

Great pub, amazing value for money, thoroughly enjoyed meals. Staff are ever so friendly. Big thanks to ellie for going above and beyond and also the recommendations for the signature meals, each a success and the upgrades. Will be returning to try the festive menu, looks fab. Keep up the great work and xmas spirit village inn

Lovely pub to eat, all staff are friendly, but a big thankyou to livvy always smiling and always makes us comfortable and nothing us ever too much trouble 😀

Amazing hot food as always .double hunters chicken then washed down with a raspberry lemonade made by liv

Nice enough food. Service was okay. I had the mix grill, it was good.

Lovely place, great food. Amazing service from liv, Ellie & Freya xx

Great visit at the village inn, food was amazing. Staff are always so positive and welcoming, chatty yet professional. Thanks for a fab experience livvy we shall be back

Food was great. Staff were amazing as always. Pub quiz with Liv is always a great night

Lloyd was amazing. Best food I’ve had at The Village inn for years and they went above and beyond for my requirements. Good food and drink was great thanks thanks 😊

Great service today Joey and the team

Brilliant local pub & restaurant!!

Table we booked was ready, staff were polite and friendly and food was good. However there was a delay in meals coming out together and not the correct cutlery available. This did not overly affect our enjoyment and will be back again.

Having visited a beefeater the day before, it was an eye opener to visit the village Inn. Apart from the pleasant service, food was brought out much quicker, and the equivalent meal was cheaper, larger, and better cooked. The outdoor seating is close to a busy road but not too noisy most of the time.

Good atmosphere and friendly staff but the food quality is poor. My meal (fahjitas) arrived without half of the advertised accompaniments. My mother in laws food was almost inedible due to the poor cooking meaning some bites were extremely spicy and others bland. Would happily come back for a drink but would avoid the food.

Great pub, friendly service, and fair prices

Was pleasantly surprised as I haven't been here in years really enjoyed my meal

Good food, good quality and value. Efficient and friendly service

Great family meal out, staff were professional and friendly, good selection of beers on draught especially doom bar. Food served in good time and was tasty. Will definitely be returning

Very reasonable prices for a quick pub lunch and the food was good, large outdoor area for children and a warm welcome from the host - an enjoyable visit 😀 & will be back 👍

Great service. Large selection of drinks, and very good food, at very reasonable prices.

Lovely pub, great atmosphere. Joey and the team provided a warm welcome and brilliant food

Lovely placed with excellent service

I was so disappointed, as I ordered the Belly Pork from the menu, but was given 2 slim slices of gammon that had been cooked to within an inch of its life!!...it was badly burnt, especially around the edges, where it was black, and scraped off like charcoal...it was inedible....I didn't send it back as I was completely put off eating ANYTHING there....we left and bought a Chinese takeaway, which was delicious!! Restaurant food isn't cheap so it is a complete rip off!!...I will never recommend The Village Pentwyn

Great service! Wonderful night thank you Joey and the team!

Great pub for families, Friendly staff (especially Livvy) and great management. Keep up the good work!

Really lovely visit tonight with the family. Have not been here for a good few years (even though I live just round the corner!). Food was great, basic pub food done well. Staff were lovely, especially Olivia who was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be coming back soon!

Booked a few tables here with friends from start to finish the service and banter with the girl on the door Olivia was amazing showed us to our seats and sorted our orders for us. A lovely pub and welcoming

I visited the Village Inn with my 7 year old daughter for some lunch and we were both made to feel very welcomed by Olivia,We both enjoyed delicious food and the hospitality by Olivia was outstanding.We will definitely be returning, keep up the good work!
