They did well with the place, food was really good the service was amazing staff were friendly and attentive. However, I have noticed that out in the beer garden, which is also a nice touch but when you look into the river there is a lot of oil and contaminants going into our river which we have worked hard on to clean .

Excellent dog friendly pub! Visited here with the Mrs and our dog. The food was lovely and VERY reasonable priced, and the service was excellent. The fella doing security was a laugh. But most of all, our dog was well looked after. He was given a bowl of water and a sausage to eat. 💯 Recommend this place

Had the most perfect Rump steak. Very reasonably priced.. cooked to my liking. Staff were just brilliant. Service was excellent. It's clear that every effort has been put into making this place work. Maybe due to the Friday night, the atmosphere was a bit of a din. The sound system was competing with a private function sound system so you had Abba competing with Ibiza hard core dance hits. I felt that people eating could have experienced more of a nice atmosphere if music was turned down so you could hear yourselves speak. I appreciate that some clients want full on music but not for me. No carpets exacerbated the echoey feel. 100% would return for the food as it was top notch. I would return on a quiet evening.

First time visit vamos tonight. First impressions were that although the decor was lovely, it was let down by the bare concrete floor which didn’t seem in-keeping with the aesthetic and left for poor acoustics. The music was on quite loud meaning conversation was more tricky. We had 2 ribeye steak on the 2-41 deal which were delicious, peppercorn sauce and Stilton sauce which was also lovely, the fries were over cooked and dry but overall hit the spot. I had a glass of Sauvignon which was great and my husband 2 pints of coke. After finishing we sat there for around 45 minutes with no one coming to clear our plates, offer drinks or desserts. Eventually someone did take our plates and was very pleasant but did not offer any desserts or drinks so we decided it was our time to leave. My husband went to the bar to pay and I went on to leave. On coming out, he mentioned the bill was £60.90. By my math, the steak deal being £30, 2 sauces £6 then that leave two pints of coke and one glass of wine as 10 pence short of £25. He wasn’t offered to see a receipt and didn’t think too much about it until I mentioned the steak was 241. Overall I would be unlikely to return as I value more attentive service and transparent pricing.

A great little find. 7 of us went for a mewl and had no complaints the food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Children ate for £1. 2 for 1 on drinks. Wednesday to Saturday they do 2 courses for £15. It is a good atmosphere there and saturday they had a DJ playing. Would definitely recommend.

Me and my girlfriend just visited vamos for the steak sharing experience this evening and it’s safe to say, vamos did not disappoint. Not only was the platter only £70, the atmosphere was great, the staff were lovely and they had 2 for 1 on all alcoholic drinks. We were served by a lady called billie, she was really friendly on our arrival and made us feel comfortable right away. As we had pre ordered in advance for the steak platter, we felt the service was really fast, Billy had already asked us how we wanted the steak cooked as she seated us. About 20 minutes later we were served the biggest plate of food I think we have ever ordered before. The steak platter looked good, tasted good and it was cooked to perfection. The homemade sauces were amazing too. Zack the chef Come out of the kitchen and seen we had almost defeated the steak platter, he introduced himself while checking everything was good with the meal. I’d 110% recommend anyone to visit this place. It’s amazing prices, good food and friendly service. We will be back soon to try the tomahawk steak. We did also notice a range of steak offers on the menu. Offers like 2 fillet steaks with chips for £30.

Great steaks for even better price!! I visited this restaurant for the second time, and it was great! This time we came on a Saturday late afternoon as a group of six. There was no issue seating us. Drinks were ordered and delivered quickly. We had five steaks at the table, and all of them were cooked perfectly. The meat is of excellent quality, and believe me, I am a very fussy steak eater. They had an amazing offer on steaks: two Ribeye steaks for £30, two Sirlon for £26, which is a bargain. They have steaks from the local butcher, which is rare to find these days. The terrace is great, and they have live music too!It's definitelyy a place to go!

I went to Vamos last night for food with my brother, it didn't disappoint. It was fantastic, a great choice of food, really reasonably priced, the quality was phenomenal and it was really nicely presented. I also bought a custard slice to take home with me. The staff were super friendly and couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome and looked after. Two for one alcoholic drinks until 7pm too. You really couldn't ask for more, a fantastic experience. I've been to Vamos a number of times and never been disappointed, although this time the food was even better than usual (which is a big statement, as it's always great). Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of the food to go with the review, as it looked so good I tucked in straight away. Really happy and will be back again soon.

I booked a fathers day meal for 15 of us after having a lovely meal a few weeks prior. When making the booking I asked if possible if we could be put somewhere quiet due to our autistic little boy and my father in law who suffers with anxiety around crowds. All these needs were met above and beyond! From start to finish we were constantly asked by the lovely staff if we needed anything, and even the owner checked to see if everything was OK with our meals, and it was insanely busy. We had a variety of different meals, some 3 courses and others 2 and including 2 children's meals. The beef was amazing! So tender, and the lamb shank was just as good, you didnt need a knife to cut it! So was the belly pork, each of us enjoyed everything and the added extra of gravy boats to go with the 2 huge servings of vegetables was brilliant! The puddings, again we all had different and they were all absolutely lovely, my father in law polished off everyone's left overs . All in all a lovely place to have a Sunday lunch, and the staff there make you feel so welcome you feel like you've been there before.

Food was cooked well and the steak was lovely especially for the money, but everything else was abysmal pre booked tables for a party were nearly a hr late, pre booked food took over a hr to check cook and be brought to the tables, as they were short staffed by the time the last meal came the first few had already finished and some meals were luke warm and steak sauces were brought out cold at the end. The absolute worst thing was they ran out of coke on the pump so went to tesco and tried to charger £12 for 4 small glasses (full of water and ice) of tesco stockwell cola which is 40p a bottle, seriously if they bought coke they would of still made 4/500% profit absolute cheek and money grab by them and yet another example of the poor management. They had little time or will to sort the bill properly (again a management issue) and they seemed massively understaffed (another management issue) they also don't have a proper card machine so you'd get served then have to wait for someone else to come along with there smart phone which is very amateur and yet again a management issue. Overall I would recommend the food ad if it were a quiet night I imagine it's lovely but I would never recommend going there to anyone as within 15 20 mins there are dozens of better run restaurants. I personally will never set foot in the place again, and it also has a weird atmosphere as its teying to be a mice restaurant but you have a lot of drunk people coming through for cigarettes etc making it have a more pub atmosphere, I recommend the staff and chef leave as generally the staff were good just not supported and the chef/food was stunning if it was served quicker it would of been hot and all together.

The staff and setting were really lovely but I'm gutted the food wasn't nicer. The starters were tasty so we were hopeful. There was nowhere to put the mussel shells though so ended up using a paper napkin. The main hunters chicken was so tough it was inedible but my partner didn't want to cause a fuss after waiting a while and chewed his way through it anyway. Rock hard baked chicken breast in cheese with a bacon rasher thrown on top - just no. My pasta was ok but had only 4 small pieces of chicken in it and was so heavily flavoured with garlic I couldn't eat much. The cheesy garlic bread was just gross. Thick melted cheese on floppy ciabatta like it had been microwaved. Overall the staff and service was really good but the pricing of the food was just unjustifiable. I was shocked at the cheap greasy cafe style sauce sachets (even spoons have heinz!) and lack of side plate or spoon. It felt very much like the pricetag of a restaurant for cafe food. I'm by no means a snob but this was very disappointing

Arranged a surprise birthday party upstairs in Vamos - outstanding service and fabulous venue. Friendly helpful staff, I’d like to mention Charlotte, nothing was ever too much bother, David, Sophie (and 2 others sorry missed your names) were on the ball, manning the bar. The food for the hot buffet was WOW - lots of it and delicious- Thank you to the chef Zac. Also to all the other support staff who made the night. A big thank you to Helen (manager) who was available over the weeks before to see everything went well, and was there at the end of the night. We enjoy Vamos so much we had booked a recovery Sunday lunch, service was excellent again. Big thank you to all at Vamos for making the weekend unforgettable.

First time at this venue, and what a little gem. I first saw this advertised on faceboob, as the owners were concerned about the lack of customers. As a former cafe owner, whereby the tactics of the big chains very nearly put it out of business before it got on its feet. On arrival, it was a struggle to park, so we were just going to just leave. Opposite is a Tescos, so I decided to park there and walk across to the venue. Am I glad I did? Damn right! The location was well spaced, staff were lovely, friendly, quick, the food was banging (i had the fry up), and it's reasonably priced. Coffee was lovely and massive. It came with a starter (biscuits) and the coolest milk bottle ever! Check out the food pictures, and you decide. The sausages were lush (pork and leek). I hate leek, but the balance is amazing! This will definitely be a regular breakfast haunt for us.

A group of 30 of us descended on Vamos, 20 prebooked the rest being stragglers. The restaurant is well laid out for couples and large groups and easily catered for our needs. The staff were extremely helpful, attentive and engaging. The owner made regular visits her customers and the staff were a reflection of her. Food was great, I think we pretty much had every item on the menu and no one was disappointed. Presentation was great, food was tasty and hot with a good selection. A meal for 2 with 3 starters and both having run steak cost just over £50 (excl drinks), far too cheap for what we received in my opinion. I’d highly recommend Vamos to anyone visiting the area. Very reasonably priced, lovely people and great food (thanks chef).

Vamos by the River is an absolute gem of a find! From the moment we stepped inside, we were enchanted by the ambiance and warmth of the place. The menu offered some of tantalizing options, and the dishes we tried was a culinary delight. It's incredible that I even finished all my food - a testament to the deliciousness of their offerings! Despite the minor hiccup with the stained floor, which I'm sure can be easily rectified, the overall experience was nothing short of spectacular. The staff's attentiveness and professionalism added to the charm of the evening, making us feel truly pampered. Speaking with the owner was a highlight; her passion for their restaurant and commitment to providing an exceptional dining experience was palpable. It's clear that every aspect of Vamos by the River has been crafted with care and attention to detail. She informed us that a new menu will become available from Wednesday and we're looking forward to enjoying it. We left with satisfied appetites and hearts full of gratitude for such a memorable evening. Without a doubt, we'll be returning to Vamos by the River for another round of delectable dishes, impeccable service, and delightful conversations. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a culinary adventure with a touch of warmth and hospitality!

Wonderful spot. Great food. Great Staff. Can not fault it. Food freshly cooked and tasty. Cocktails are sublime. I'd recommend Purple Rain. For the 3 of us with full main course each plus 4 cocktails it totaled £73. Will definitely come back and looking forward to see how the outside area comes alive in the summer, with flowing stream and outside decked bar area. It had a nice vibe in the main restaurant although we were there early so not many people. Simply decorated and furnished with comfortable seating. Looked at their function areas, surprising how much space there is. Nice smaller area downstairs and upstairs has a much larger area with stage and area for dj and has its own bar and toilets. I can't wait to go back when there's a full house. 10 stars!

As soon as we went in, the music was blasting loud, we were literally shouting across the table to talked to each other, when we asked them to turn it down a little, the waitress said she couldn't, that its all on an automated system??? I ordered the bbq ribs to start. Completely dry, the most pathetic amount of bbq sauce. I ended up using others' starters to mop up some sauce and some kind of flavour. The Burger was okay, no complains. The menu overall was very disappointing, took a while to decide as nothing really appealed to me. The younger staff were very friendly but the one older waitress came across rude and abrupt. Toilets were disgusting, urinal was filthy. Overall, we won't be back.

26/11/23. Seven of us booked in. Couldn't seat us a 7 p.m. 7.30 agreed. Place was almost empty, around 6 other customers. Staff were pleasant and cheerful but service a bit slow. Food was fine, choice limited. After our main course chefs/ cooks went home at 8.45. We were not asked about desserts so 15 mins later we asked staff what was available. Directed to a cabinet with a couple of large cakes to choose from. Lost points there. Place was clean and tidy but I though it brightly lit. It's a shame that some people are still taking delight in punching holes in the walls of the gents toilets Impressive. Good set up, well laid out. Very pleasant staff. More expensive than I've seen before in the area but a good destination point for an evening out. Sadly some idiot thought it a good idea to poke holes in the cladding in the gents toilets. The river flowing through the back smelt clean and fresh overlooked by a nice decking area.

Been here a couple of times in the last 2 weeks. My wife & I came for lunch, sat outside, and had great service, attentive and amazing food. Then we came back today, with our 7 year old son for Sunday Lunch. Same again, great service, amazing atmosphere and fantastic food! Acoustic singer too, which I found was a great addition. Had to edit this review now though, as we had my step-daughters graduation party here, and to our amazement was charged £250 for the following... - Finger Sandwiches - Pork Pies - Quiche - Chicken Bites Quite literallysomething we could have done ourselves for less than £50! Which was actually really poor and let themselves down. We made this clear to the staff, (which wasn't their fault) but then absolutely no contact from the owner afterwards, even though we saw that she was messaged by the manager there and then. So it's been made clear, they are happy to talk to you all along and to take an obscene amount of money for such a poor buffet etc. But then afterwards, nothing. Again, really let themselves down.

I love this place. Food is delicious and reasonably priced. The outside area is lovely by the river. Great staff friendly and helpful. There's bands and music at weekends. What's not to love?

On the 2nd of July my wife and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary and decided that we would go a local restaurant and the Vamos very near our home and since it has been under new ownership and local we should eat here. Well from our 1st step in the we were met with a very polite host who showed us our table. After seating and drink orders made & received within 4mins excellent. Between we received our drinks (and as a ex head silver service waiter with 25+years xp) and through out our meal witch took 3 hours never did we fell rushed, preshared or intimated to hurry our food. As it was a Sunday that offer there menu + pork and beef Sunday roast along with a good offering of vegie and vegan meals along with so many others. On our visit they had have in stock two drinks I asked for 1 was a draught beer (small restaurant fresh beer) and 2nd was red wine they had house and wine seller wa late with order. (No cap wine delivery arrived just as I was leaving) The food was amazing the Sunday roast more so but th vegetables where way way overcooked for this guy. The stuff on our visit where young and very friendly polite and nolagible about the menu and any questions or requests where met quickly and politely. With the cost of food and drinks very reasonable, the atmosphere along with the lovely waiting staff and the overall atmosphere and dining experience this little peace is a must eat. 10/10 for atmosphere, experience,food and overall relaxing night out. Staff 11/10. Shall I revisit 180% I will. And when you bistplease take a short walk to the local park and round off what as surely a great day x

Food was lovely but they had loads missing. Out of chicken goujons, poppadoms, prawns, fish, ice-cream and eventually run out of Coors. Felt sorry for the lads behind the bar who kept having to say sorry. I get that they were busy during bank holiday weekend but Tesco is opposite to petty cash items, especially as we were a large party booked a few weeks in advance, Halloomi fries for starters were really lush with sweet chilli jelly. Lamb and Gammon looked really nice. Curry says creamy and coconut but was very tomatoey. Chicken burger was nice and steak was OK.

Only popped in for a coffee and my mum thought it was the nicest cappuccino she's had. Would be nice if they sold crisp/nuts as well as sometimes a little snack is nice. . Nice staff and funky decor. Definitely will go back as food looked amazing

Visited for the first time this evening, they were quite busy and short staffed we had to wait a short while which was apologised for but the service was excellent and also the food was stunning. We were there for 2 hours and thoroughly enjoyed it and I would highly recommend this place to everyone. The 3 course meal for £20 was exceptional value and the portions were very generous. Will definitely be going back. Thank you to all the staff.

Wir sind spontan zu diesem Restaurant gefahren und haben eine sehr gute Wahl damit getroffen....Es war sehr gemütlich... Das Bier war toll und das Essen sehr lecker... Es gab eine kleine übersichtliche Karte mit tollen Gerichten (auch vegetarisch) es hat uns wirklich sehr gefallen und das Essen war ein Traum, es war toll angerichtet... was mich auch sehr beeindruckt hat, war als die Köchin selbst fragte, ob es geschmeckt hat, wie toll... Es gab auch Jägermeister, in Deutschland würde man glaube ich Jägerbaum sagen 😀 der Mitarbeiter an der Bar war auch zauberhaft... Ich würde wiederkommen...

Set menu for valentine's with not much choice but had good reviews overall so booked it £80 for 2 people 3 course meal The smallest portions Steak asked for medium well done and had a steak dripping blood I did tell the waitress but she just said oh sorry I did tell the chef. Staff were very welcoming so left them a tip but Dessert was also two mouthfuls and gone Extremely overpriced for food that was cooked rare not to preference and would not return or recommend unfortunately Update -forcdoing this review and putting 2 lines to say overpriced not great food on their FB business page that has no review tab I have had verbal abuse name-calling A fake version of what vamos says happened and going through my personal FB page to involve people I know Then blocked me from their FB so you can't see any bad reviews on their page This is the most unprofessional company I have ever dealt with

Beautiful lunch today for Christmas with friends. Fish cooked beautifully. Deserts were a bit limited as most had chocolate which I don’t like but the waitress went out of her way to find deserts without which was very thoughtful.

Had a really lovely meal here with my family to celebrate my birthday. Lovely atmosphere. Beautifully decorated. Steaks were cooked to perfection and the curry was delicious. The children ate free - which we didn’t realise till we paid bill at end 😀. Fab service and friendly staff. Will definitely be going back.

We tried several other local Chinese take away whilst peking town was shut for holidays. Not one matched the quality, service and flavour of peking. Would not order a Chinese from anywhere else’s

Well this maybe our 1st visit, on a childfree morning however it certainly won't be our last. Couldn't be more excited to have such a gorgeous venue in our local area! There isn't any other venue that scratches the surface on food, customer service and atmosphere. We are so excited to come back, thank you to the team and owner for transforming the previous venue. Its good to have something that would easily fit well in Cardiff.
