The locals are friendly (most don't bite..) but if ya looking for a warm welcome from the Landlady you'd better hope someone's lit the fire. Don't know if the foods improved or any good as can't afford to eat there.

Utterly Awful on all fronts service and food very poor and over priced for what we had. When we arrived a request to sit near fire for my mum was declined and told it's not cold the heating is on. Fair enough as we would of taken a table of 4 for 2 of us. But please speak a bit more respectful not muttering to the chef lady said it was cold the heating is on this was overheard. Appreciate the lady serving was running about and we weren't don't be so defensive and rude in your tone and manner . Served a drink and menu within minutes can't fault that. . Curry of the day ordered and this was chicken and beef. Beef extremely tough; chicken curry was watery and no flavour at all. Poppadoms were stale and fair to say so was the service and certainly no after service. We left a lot and when paid no check from the lady I guess landlady if everything was ok. Shame as we eat out a lot and and fair to say worse meal had out in years and now we probably guess why many tables were empty. Won't be returning and I would think about what you order as home made curry beef and curry very bland and watered down. Shame but need to be honest for you to improve on service and quality of food.

Lovely cosy feel to the pub. Waitress was great. Steak pie was a tasty plentiful dish, and service was quick. I would have put 5 stars but the pub served me an alternative brand of drink without explanation or checking, and it certainly didn't taste better than what I'd asked for (as was the reply when I queried it). Good food offers and yes I would return but might skip the drink next time!

Excellent food and service again as always, but a big shame that we were unable to tip by card. Since COVID few people carry cash with maybe the exception of the elderly.. and I fear that these excellent staff are missing out on a lot of extra well earned money because of this inconvenience. Everywhere else allows tipping on card, and I know the card machine in question well. It's very easy to do. I can only assume the reluctance is due to tax purposes or something.

Oct 23 - First visit for Sunday lunch. Friendly welcome from landlady & young staff very pleasant. Meal was okay. Good portion of well cooked (not pink) beef and yorkshire pudding was lovely. Veg was over cooked, roasties very big round potatoes not particularly well roasted and gravy was bland like the Bisto variety, lukewarm and had congealed skin in it. Pecan pie was small for price but utterly delicious. Wouldn’t rush back for Sunday lunch but normal pub meals are usually very good. Oct22 - Lunch. Lovely warm welcome, great ambience, good quality delicious food well cooked that arrived piping hot. Staff had a “nothings too much trouble” attitude. Simply wonderful.

So we went for food on a wednesday evening on a summer night. Was told i couldn't eat outside even with all signs saying you can and tables having numbers on !!! Very disgusting, as i had 2 children with special needs and a baby in buggy offered a table tomdoors with mp space for buggy and virtually on top of another table. Also, I couldn't get down from the garden as steps anyway. Staff seemed rude and didn't give a dam. Dont recommend it in any shape or form and will never return. Not wheelchair/family friendly ! Plus side beefeater to the road was amazing and very accommodating, and I told them they hear this regularly about how bad service is at wenvoe arms

Highly recommended village pub and restaurant. There's a dog friendly bar area. There's also a restaurant area which is a dog free area. We were a party of 4 adults and sat in the dog friendly bar area for our meal. Each of us had different meals that included starters, mains and desserts. The atmosphere was friendly and joyful. The staff were chatty and welcoming. The food was excellent, freshly cooked and tasty, with a good variety of choice on the menu that is fairly priced. There's ample parking available in the carpark. We could not fault our visit to this wonderful village pub.

But beware as these were Glamorgan Sausages not mDe of meat but leeks/cheese in breadcrumb coating. Not what she expected so make sure you check if you want meat Sausages.

For food I ordered the scampi and my partner ordered the gammon and both meals were perfect and cooked well. The size of the portions were generous and the prices were very fair for what you get. All in all we had a very good experience staff wise and food wise and will definitely be going back very soon.

Nice local pub with plenty of drinks to offer, lovely gardens and nice food too, with very hardworking, polite staff. BUT unfortunately the landlady has a very poor attitude towards the customers, paying very unjustified and extremely rude remarks, with regards to other non alcoholic drinks, (small bottle of fanta) being brought onto the premises and NOT being drunk on the premises as a glass of lemonade was purchased instead from the bar, especially when you have just spent over £100 on food and drink, unfortunately will not be returning nor would I recommend the Wenvoe Arms

Today at the Wenvoe arms I was totally disgusted with how we were treated. My daughter in law joined us her two extremely allergic children. We spent over £100 pounds on food but took two cartons of Ribena for the children. The landlady was extremely rude to my daughter in law saying that only food and drink purchased could be consumed there. Everything my grandson has has to be scrutinised as he’s so allergic to most things. Ribena is one of the very few things he can.have. We tried to explain to the landlady who wouldn’t have any of it and spoke through gritted teeth to my daughter in law. Further to say I hope this goes viral to the surrounding areas ,Rhoose, Pentyrch and St Nicolas which is where we are from. Hence to say we will never frequent these premises again. You have lost affluent customers over a juice box of Ribena.

Lovely location, lovely staff. Bit ridiculous and petty with their policy not letting my 1 year old and 3 year old consume their own drinks despite our large food order. Landlady was beyond rude and quite aggressive in her stance towards her policy that only food or beverages purchased on premises are to be consumed. Would love to see what her take on this would have been to my son and his lactose free milk? Needless to say I will not being going there again. Beyond a joke and very belittling. There is a cost of living crisis be grateful for the custom!

Another lovely meal at this excellent village pub. My wife and I took her mother for supper and it was pie night. So we had a couple of pies and my mother-in-law had fish and chips which she really enjoyed - making special mention of the chips. My Chicken and mushroom pie was excellent with masses of chicken and a good creamy sauce. The wines were good and the service was very good. The bill for 3 was just £58 = excellent value.

Meal was good but chips where like chip shop chips probably due to them having a chip van out in the car park Found the landlady quite rude saying this the staff were very obliging , the price is a bit high for food menu considering it’s in a village where local people rely on a community think it’s time the landlady should leave and let someone more friendly take it over

I WENT WITH A PARTY OF 14 FOR LUNCH. BECAUSE OF THE NUMBERS WE HAD PREORDERED USING THE MENU SHOWN ON THE WENVOE ARMS WEBSITE. THE FOOD WAS POOR (CHIPS UNDERDONE, PEAS HARD) AND THE MEALS WERE NOT VERY HOT WHEN SERVED. THERE WAS ALSO A SURPRISE WHEN WE RECEIVED THE BILL AS SEVERAL ITEMS WERE MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE PRICES SHOWN ON THE MENU ON THEIR WEBSITE - THE MENU SHOWED TWO CURRYS FOR £14 - THEY CHARGED £19, BEEF AND ALE PIE WAS £10 ON THE MENU THEY CHARGED A WHOPPING £16.50 AND FISH & CHIPS, SHOWN AS £12 ON THE MENU WAS £15.50!

Thoroughly enjoyed the meal and excellent service. I marked it down as, as we were about to leave a couple came in with a dog which immediately jumped up onto the seating and was licking the table. As we were leaving they then changed their seats to where we were sitting. I am an animal lover. But, a dogs place is on the floor especially at restaurants.
