Ty'r Winch pub, restaurant and guest house in Cardiff

A local of mine and I’m so glad it is. The pub itself has a lovely ambience. Warm, inviting and cosy. Every single member of staff are wonderfully attentive and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. The food is stunning every time. Delicious, hot and great portions. Compliments to the chef! Lovely outdoor area which is great when the British weather decides to behave. Andrew the owner is brilliant and clearly a very attentive and caring landlord always wanting the best for his customers. Fabulous place!

We had a celebration birthday lunch in the function room, excellent food and service, staff couldn't do enough fot our guests. Also had guests staying in the Tyr Winch B&B, the room was excellent, spotlessly clean and staff very helpful.

5 Stars for this great pub. The scotch egg for starters was divine and the Sunday roast was gorgeous and plenty of it, huge Yorkshire pud with plenty of meat and veg The pudding topped it off and we left feeling very full Not overly priced either. Staff were lovely and friendly

Visited this place for the food. Service can be a bit slower than expected and prices are on the higher side BUT, the food we had was really nice and good size portions. Would recommend

The Ty'r Winch pub is local to me and I've visited on numerous occasions for drinks and I've eaten there a couple of times over the years but not for Sunday Dinner, which we thought we would try today. We pre-booked the table which I'm glad we did because the pub was full when we arrived at 2:45pm, we had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated which wasn't a problem for us. However whilst we were waiting we weren't asked if we wanted any drinks and we were forgetten about. I've mentioned this as it might matter to someone else reading this review but it didn't necessarily matter to us. We both ordered Lamb which was accompanied by a large Yorkshire Pudding, stuffing, and 2 roast potatoes on the plate. Served with this were carrots, garden peas, braised red cabbage and 2 small boiled potatoes in an old school style metal serving dish with 2 halves. When we were seated and asked for our order, neither of us were asked if we had any allergies. I asked what vegetables were served with the meal. Now, yes I know technically that stuffing isn't a vegetable and so I should have also asked that. The person I was with has a nut allergy so whilst we should have mentioned this, equally we should have been asked about allergies. The carrots were so overcooked that they had that horrible watery taste, the braised cabbage was just a bit too sweet, the Yorkshire pudding was stale and tasted as if it had been reheated, possibly in a microwave. The 'roast' potatoes weren't roasted, they looked and tasted as if they had been over boiled and then put in a bit of fat to give them a slight browning. They tasted more like mash potatoes rather than roasted. The lamb had no taste to it, the blocks of stuffing were so dense that the middle of the block tasted uncooked whilst the outside had a crisp to it as if they'd been put under a grill rather than cooked in the oven. We didn't eat the boiled potatoes and the garden peas were just as expected, I don't think you can really go wrong cooking garden peas 🤷🏼‍♀️. We ordered pigs in blankets and cauliflower cheese as sides. The pigs in blankets were nice and so was the cauliflower cheese despite it being quite hard to cut the through the cauliflower. I like my vegetables with crunch but I shouldn't have to put so much pressure on the knife to force it to cut the vegetable. The servings of vegetables were quite small however you can ask for extra vegetables for free of charge which I like because it helps to manage food waste which is a massive bug-bear of mine. And so, although I didn't enjoy the meal I did eat the majority of it because I would rather eat the food then it go in the bin. Plus we had woken late that morning and neither of us had had breakfast, and the person I was with was driving to Sheffield straight after the meal and it had taken them 6 hours to drive down yesterday (Saturday) due to traffic jams / accidents, road works and diversions, so needless to say we were hungry. I'm left feeling really disappointed by this meal and I shan't be in any rush to eat there again. However if you want a pub that has a country style setting, a lovely atmosphere and serves some nice wines, spirits and draughts, and a big open roaring fire in Winter then this place ticks all those boxes. I've always found the staff to be welcoming and friendly. There is an adequate sized car park next to the pub which has an easy entry and exit. The scoring and review I've given are solely for the meal.

Last minute booking for a one night stay. Stylish room, impeccably clean, lovely shower. Very comfortable bed. Unfortunately no opportunity to try the food but the Pub looks lovely inside and out. Will definitely use again if in the area.

Booked table online. Welcomed by friendly staff. Local customers made you welcome The food was very good

Just went for a lovely lunch, very reasonably priced. Great service. Really nice pub and food. Didn't stay in a room so no review for this.

Absolute 100% rating, the place & room was impeccable, the food was outstanding, the service was 2nd to none (ask for Trish she was a wee jem) 😁 the room was absolutely spotless & finished to a superb high standard

Ribeye Beef Steak..medium...a must taste! I loved it! A huge thank you to our Welsh friends...without you this trip would have been worthless!

First time visiting this lovely pub! Excellent service from start to finish this evening, very friendly and cheerful staff. Food portions and quality was absolutely brilliant, you really do get what you pay for! 🙌 Thanks very much, will definitely be returning!!

I have been here several times for food now and the customer service from not just the staff but the managers, Joyce and Mike, is always outstanding. The food is always fresh and delicious and the atmosphere within the restaurant and outside area is lovely

Cancelled a room booked close to a month ago last minute, after they already received payment for it. Why on Earth would you let me book it in the first place if it wasn't available, and why did you wait until the moment the money was out of my account until you told me?

Cancelled booking 2 days before the trip which was booked 1 month ago. That’s really bad for us as now we have to book another place in such short notice. This has led to absolute chaos. Do not expect this from reputed places.

Group of eight had dinner here and Six of us stayed in the hotel the night . we'll staff very efficient and cheerful food very nice with generous portions first class would recommend 😋

called in on the off chance to have Sunday lunch, and we shown a table. food was stunning, and although it didn't look like much veg, there was loads of meat, and the Yorkshire was massive, and everything together was really filling. Lovely out door area too.

Had Sunday lunch, which was very disappointing. Ordered 2 beef dinners for children but the beef was thickly cut and very tough to cut & eat. Ended up giving the children my turkey & sausage, as the beef was inedible. Not a large selection of soft drinks.

Had a family meal here my dad’s birthday. Trish made sure we were well looked after and food was delicious! Thank you!

Food delicious 😋 the serve was AMAZING such a lovely lady we had the pleasure of being served by Trish what a lovely lady.. Will be coming back again soon 😁

My wife and I came to the Tyr winch for a Sunday roast which was incredible we both had the beef. Mike who served us recommended a bottle of red wine to complement our meal which paired so well, my wife and I were highly impressed with his knowledge of wines.

Went for Sunday dinner today and we were extremely disappointed with the food. I had the pork dinner and the wife had the lamb dinner. Our yorkshires were cold, the stuffing was solid, the veg accompaniments were carrots, peas and red cabbage, anything more was an extra cost, the pork came with no crackling and the lamb certainly wasn’t cooked and carved off the bone, considering the cost of the 2 meals was over £30, it was really shocking. To top it all off we had to wait 20minutes for the bill. We won’t be returning there again.

Local pub with fantastic food, atmosphere and service. Mike & Joyce the managers are a joy and all staff are attentive and polite. New summer menu was fantastic.

Fish and chips was good. Prawn cocktail low quality we found it dry and tasteless. Pate' was good and for the pesto bruschetta not so appetising. The garlic bread was dry and the service......well.....there was no service. Waited 20min for a coke and custard that didn't arrive. The table was very sticky.

We almost didn't go here! My other half vaguely remembered it not being very nice from when he was younger but we thought we'd try anyway as the menu pictures online looked nice and the other half's youth was quite some time ago... Got there, looked like a proper non-chain country pub with good parking and a variety of seating inside and out. Then disappointment struck when I couldn't see the thing I wanted to eat on the menu but it turned out it was a couple of pages in and we were back on again. Joy! As evidenced by my inability to find my peppered chicken on the menu at first, there's a lot to choose from. I'm a problem eater between odd allergies and general pickiness but could still find plenty of options to keep me happy. Our orders were taken quickly with a reasonable wait to be served. Both meals were excellent. Beautifully presented, delicious and the right portion size to leave you full but not bloated. I'm so glad we gave it a go. It's difficult to find anywhere to eat these days that doesn't have just the standard pubco menu on offer and now we've found one just a few minutes' drive away from home. Will absolutely be back again. Thank you for having us :)

My sister and i came on 16th June for Sunday luch.. This is a very busy fabulous pub and the food was first class. The staff are just so fab. The Landlord and Landlady are so friendly and accommodating. They all create a such a warm and friendly atmosphere and I cannot praise this Fabulous pub/ Hotel enough. We definately can't wait to come again. Thanks to you all and of course compliments to the cheff etc. What a fantastic job they're doing.

Great place to stay for work or leasure fantastic service in the restaurant and rooms clean modern and very comfortable A plus 5 🌟 all round.

Lush place, friendly staff, tidy beer and the food was great!

Amazing food and amazing service from Mike the manager! Really made us laugh a lovely first visit will come again. Thank you

Mike and Ruby provided excellent customer service. There is a friendly and relaxed atmosphere in the pub and the food is top notch. Every single staff member we encountered went out of their way to greet us and wish us a nice day. Not only was service swift, the menu choices were great- traditional Sunday roasts with a great selection of other options as well. We will definitely be back and now regard Ty’r Winch as one of our local favourites. Thank you for having us!

Brilliant meal today with Mike and Ruby - amazing value for such great quality food. Service was brilliant and really quick too. Will definitely be back!

I tried my best to fault the meal, OMg the best food ever I wanted more be back soon Chef

The ambiance was amazing. 17th century buildings gives a cosy vibe. The service was 10/10 I would give 5/5 stars but only if the beef was freshly ground and not a pre-made patty. The lack of seasoning was a letdown. But the fish and chips was well worth the visit. I will return and try more items from the menu.

Wow what a find! Stayed for one night while working in Cardiff. It’s a beautiful traditional pub, restaurant and hotel. My room is traditional but feels brand new and spotless. The bathroom is awesome and it’s so nice to have all the little touches that make a room feel like it’s been thought out. The bar and restaurant is great. I’m gutted I ate on the way here as the food looks awesome with large portions and some very happy diners. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Free parking too. I’ll be trying to find an excuse for a longer stay in the future.

Booked for Sunday lunch today and unfortunately very disappointed. Atmosphere and staff fine but food not up to standard for the price . Meat was tasteless and obviously came from a packet. Veg tasted frozen . Dessert quality not to a good standard. Won't be making the journey to St Mellons again !

Folk club friday .good food good atmosphere

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch again. Food was amazing and exceptional service from the staff, Mike was a perfect host and made us feel very welcome. Can’t recommend highly enough.

The Tyr Winch is our local pub and restaurant which we absolutely love. Their food and drink choices are amazing every time and we love how friendly Mike, Joyce and the team are. Couldn't recommend more!

Had a really delicious meal here on Friday night - loads of choices, including a great specials menu. I had 3 courses which were all fabulous. Service was also excellent with a great choice of drinks. Really nice relaxed atmosphere and the restaurant area is lovely. Many thanks and we will definitely be coming back more often!

Wow, great food tonight at the Ty’r Winch! Both meals were amazing and the service was impeccable as always! Thanks to Mike and the team, great night as always.

It's my local pub, the staff are amazing (especially Joyce and Mike), the food is amazing and the menus are always changing with new specials every week. During the colder months there's a lovely open fire going during all opening hours, can't get a better country pub than this!

Had my mother's birthday, were able to cater for large party easily, thank you for a great meal

Had a meal in the restaurant this evening, can't fault food, it was stunning. However, service was a little slow. The waitresses we had was fantastic and couldn't have worked harder but there were consistently 2 or 3 other members of staff hanging around the side of the bar who could have been helping to speed things up. We would definitely visit again though as food was really good.

Had a lovely meal at the Ty'r Winch this evening. We tried out a number of the new summer menu additions. The bbq burnt ends starter was delicious followed by the draymans lunch. The homemade scotch egg was runny and tasty, with the lovely creamy cheese and trimmings it was lovely. Finished off with the Lemon cello panacotta, creamy zesty and proper tasty. I highly recommend the new summer menu items. As always the service from Mike, Joyce and all the team was excellent, we were welcomed and well looked after. An amazing evening was had. Thank you

Went for a meal this week, absolutely fabulous food, nothing was wasted.. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Sadly I didn't have the time to meet Andrew who owes me a pint lol... Highly recommended... Paul Crump MBE.

Recently held our wedding reception and evening party at the beautiful Ty'r Winch Pub and Guest House. Lorna and her team were fantastic with the planning and arrangements and ensured our day ran smoothly. The food was outstanding, staff were extremely friendly and the DJ had all our guests dancing right through the night.

Had food and drink here, service for both was quick and friendly. Food was excellent with a great choice to choose from.

Lovely setting with very tasty food! Will come again when we next visit Cardiff

Best Sunday lunch ever! Mike who served us looked after us so well, food hot, service by all brilliant

I Stayed at the Ty'r Winch for one night, there was a lovely atmosphere very friendly, the room was nicely decorated and clean, the bed was comfortable, definitely book to stay there again, Mark

Lorna and Andrew were incredible hosts.. Their guesthouse is stunning and of very high-quality! We were concerned being next to a pub that it would be loud at night, but it was not at all :) Highly recommend this place and would definitely come back to stay again!!

Absolutely gorgeous Sunday lunch at The Ty’r Winch today. The staff were excellent and food amazing. Will definitely be re-visiting again soon.

Stayed in the rooms, very clean and serviced every day, would highly recommend

Went there for a meal tonight with the folks. All had 3 courses and it was absolutely faultless! If there I'd recommend the scotch egg as a starter for sure! Diverse menu, good choice of drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic and all top quality. Service was incredible! Mike and his team are all fab and they're all passionate about their roles. Highly recommend this place to anyone! Thanks guys

Lovely guest house nestled in Old St. Mellons, with the absolute best service- nothing seemed too much for them. Having travelled long way - we were so warmly greeted by Michael and his team. Thank you so much for accommodating my family.

Beautiful meal staff all very pleasant and welcoming.

Food was really good, staff friendly and very reasonably priced, all around good pub food

Didn't stay in the hotel but the Rib eye with red wine sauce was one of the best I've ever had!

Afternoon tea was excellent staff and food was exceptional tea and coffee in abundance.

I was quite exicted to try this place. We went for Sunday lunch. Unfortunately, I won't be back. Cajun cauliflower starter - just boiled cauliflower fried in a light batter, severely underseasoned, so much so that I sent it back. Lamb dinner - came cold Chef pie of the day - pie was a chicken, brie, and cranberry. there were no cranberries and the side of peas were very undercooked Draft beer - came in dirty glasses The desserts sounded promising but after a lackluster meal, we didn't bother and went home even though we had planned to stay longer.

Great menu options, good variety and always lovely food. Very friendly staff (particularly Trish and Mike) that make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is relaxed and cosy. I am a regular visitor and definitely recommend.

We’ve had evening meal and lunch on a few occasions. So much thought goes into providing a local yet diverse menu. The food is fantastic quality and homemade due to the condiments. The service is genuinely warm and welcoming. There are some great themed event nights with food and wine .

A brilliant local pub/restaurant/guest house managed excellently. Friendly atmosphere, very good food, professional and very friendly staff.

Excellent Sunday dinner. Just wish it was a little hotter.

Went for a mid afternoon meal. I had the chilli butter salmon on the specials menu. Omg please put this on the regular menu is was lovely. Jolly well done Mike and Hellenor.

Enjoyed every moment at this wonderful pub! The staff are so welcoming and really good at what they do. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was calm, cosy and just overall lovely. Prices were extremely reasonable too. I can’t believe we have lived in Cardiff for 5 years and never heard of this pub!! We will come back!

We had our first Sunday lunch here last weekend (Feb) we eat Sunday lunch out quite a bit . Just to say this lovely pub has a great atmosphere keeps a lovely pint of real ale too, and the lunch itself was top drawer. We will certainly be visiting again . Highly recommended.

A wonderful restaurant and warm family pub , food was delicious and the service was excellent. We were well looked after by Mike and his lovely team who really went out of their way to make our large group meal a success. This pub / guest house is a wonderful addition to our community and its family friendly atmosphere is very much needed and appreciated. A great evening out and all can’t wait to meet up again very soon.

We are always treated with warm and kindness, always helpful in finding us seating,thank u to all the staff

Rien à dire, services impeccable.

What a magical place! Really nice atmosphere, food was great and accommodation was brilliant too!

Always a lovely warm atmosphere Great food brilliant staff. We love to visit here easy parking. One of the best places in Cardiff.

What an amazing meal, staff were absolutely 1st class... Trish was funny very attentive 1st class staff all the way...

I would award 6 stars if I could. Fantastic Pub, Fantastic Food, Superb spotless accommodation. The manager is a great guy, he always makes me feel very welcome. I stay in the guest house which is fantastic. The rooms are always presented beautifully with spotless sheets and towels. Consistency is the name of the game here, always the same high standards each time I visit.

Very popular place, so book a table in advance. It has a noisy atmosphere, so if you're looking for a quiet table to eat at, unfortunately this is not the place. Otherwise, you will enjoy it here; the food is good with a wide variety to choose from.

Found my ideal place to stay when visiting family in Cardiff. Lovey rooms and great location, next time will try the restaurant, which looked very inviting.

We had a fabulous stay on the weekend. Room was beautiful, comfortable and clean. Food in pub was excellent as was the wine, service and entertainment.

Excellent restaurant every time we go there Wonderful staff too.

Love coming here Christmas time when the fire is roaring. All the locals are lovley in the pub. Welcoming and friendly

Great staff - warm and friendly place

Nice pub, good food, good draught beer.

Another lovely evening meal in warm surroundings, great atmosphere and good service. Love the new menu. Lots of options!

Extremely clean and cosy guesthouse. Everything to a high standard. Was made to feel very welcome. Only grip was it was hard to fill the kettle in the sink due to the fixtures but other than that we had the perfect stay. Not far from Cardiff plus there is a nice garden centre nearby too potter around.

If your coming to Cardiff, treat yourself to a stay here. It is cheaper than the faceless corporate hotels and much nicer too. Highly recommended 5 stars!

This place used to be called the coach and horses many years ago. It's an olde worlde type pub and the staff are nice but it's on the pricey side and is fine to visit every now and then rather than all the time. I am happy to return here very soon.

Superb meal.......wonderful to have a reasonably priced meal cooked on the premises rather than in a factory. Very friendly, helpful staff, can't recommend it highly enough

Just popped in for food on way home, as usual the most friendly staff possible.

New menu some great service some teething issues with the menu otherwise great

Fish basket was ok, garlic mushrooms nice. 10oz steak is amazing, better than Merdria in the city center. Chicken Heliwr is very good as well, as was the salad, REALLY fresh, side order of coleslaw really good. Also great back ground music 🎶.

Lovely olde worlde pub with good traditional food and very good service. Nice cosy atmosphere, real fire and lovely real oak beams.

We went on a Sunday for lunch. I don't like Sunday lunch and none of rest of the menu appealed. So I had the soup. Carrot and coriander. For me, not enough taste until I added salt and pepper. My partner had the Lamb dinner and enjoyed it very much. Lovely staff and quick service

Beautiful place ,clean comfortable rooms highly recommend

Hôtel particulièrement agréable tant par les prestations que son accueil. Je le recommande vivement. La propreté irréprochable et le lit d'une excellente qualité. J'y reviendrai.

Simple but tasty food at very reasonable price.

Excellent pub. Warm welcome. Great beers and food selection at reasonable prices. First visit. Definitely going again soon.

Atmosphere was good , food and service was fab , but I wasn't sure what areo desert. It' had a bit of a tangie taste to it but other than that I enjoyed celebrating my birthday their it' was fab night out with family

A great place to stay in their Guesthouse on the outskirts of Cardiff. Friendly staff. Clean and modern. Highly recommended. Great pub food too. Local shop, 4 pubs and a chip shop opposite. A bus route (30) to Cardiff and back. Perfect for every age.

Very nice food. Friendly fantastic service from Joyce. I had the burger of the week and it was splendid. Would recommend.

We had a pleasant stay at the guesthouse and a nice dinner and drinks at the pub.

Amazing food lovely atmosphere and amazing staff especially Mike what a lovely funny host.

My recent stay was an absolute delight from start to finish. This charming guest house exceeded my expectations in every way possible. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by the friendly staff, who made me feel right at home. The check-in process was swift and efficient, and I received all the necessary information about the guest house’s amenities. The room I stayed in was not just a place to sleep; it was a cozy heaven. It was impeccably clean, tastefully decorated, and equipped with all you need. The attention to detail in the room’s design and amenities was truly impressive.
