The best restaurants serving British food in Riverside Cardiff South Wales

The Hot Pantry is the perfect place for fresh comfort food. Their Dragon Pies and Custard slices are to die for! Good prices compared to a lot of bakeries too.

Excellent place to spend a couple of hours having my birthday lunch. Excellent food. Will be back. Thank you team.

Years and years and years of eating Tommy's food here there and everywhere and this is one of my favourites so far. This set lunch menu is outrageously good value for cooking this food: lovely service, great cocktails and an experience to remember.

There was a lady locked in the accessible toilets (she was okay, albeit.. drugged up.) had to climb an obscene amount of stairs with my walking stick (MS) to the other toilets while staff flapped. Staff were unaware that the lady had been in there since before we had arrived (90 mins earlier), but they were familiar with her. Staff were not remotely apologetic for the inconvenience and struggle to get upstairs. It just put a dampener on the experience. Food was very nice though.

Your afternoon tea was bought for us as a gift. We booked a table one month ago for 3pm on the 6th February 2020. Having made a special journey into Cardiff, we arrived at 2.45pm only to be told that there was no evidence of our booking on your system. After much deliberation with the chef, the lady on reception was able to squeeze us in. After our table was prepared, we were shown to a dark and cold dining room. We were the only diners. The lady was very helpful and we were able to choose sandwiches from a small selection. They were freshly prepared albeit only three fingers each. The tea was fine, but the small scones were not home-made (disappointingly) and the cream was squirty and not as advertised in one of your previous review replies as being clotted cream. We asked about this and were told that clotted is not an option. So we made do with butter. The three small (and we mean small) pieces of cake were dry and bore no resemblance to those advertised on your website. We left most of them. All in all, the worst afternoon tea experience that we have ever encountered. Atmosphere was poor and would have preferred sitting in the warm lounge area.

Came here for some food on a Saturday afternoon, Weather was lovely so we sat outside, had a lovely table in the sun. Chairs could do with some cushions and we were all rather uncomfortable after a while. It seemed to take rather a long time for someone to come and bring menus and take our drink order however it was very busy. Food was good but pricey, cheese board at £12 had 3 very small slithers of cheese one of which wasn’t particularly nice…. We ordered chicken, lamb and the delicious bread with marmite butter which we love. We decided to have another drink but went to sit inside after eating and we were quite annoyed that despite having one round of drinks with our food and reordering the same again at the bar, my sister was charged £16 for her wine instead of the £10 one she’d had at the table. Did t realise the mistake until we came to pay. We left a bit annoyed and its not a mistake we will repeat.

Found this cafe by accident, saw a sign and followed it. The cafe was very clean, very friendly lady made me an egg mayo sandwich, also had an almond slice and a cup of tea, all were delicious and reasonably priced. I sat outside where it was lovely and peaceful, with pretty flowers, you wouldn't guess you were in the middle of a big city. I will definitely go again on my cycle ride.

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!

Breakfast was OK except the fried bread it looked like it was just dipped in the oil and put on the grill a minute not nice hart attack 🙃

Great venue, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We did not have to wait long for the food and it was great quality, the food was delicious, personally there were too many dishes that had a strong charcoal taste but otherwise really good. Would recommend, it is a unique experience that you have to try, like nothing else in Cardiff !

I was passing through the park and spotted this super cozy café! I ended up ordering a Margherita pizza, and it was exceptional and at a very fair price!

Great pub/hotel.In a great location for castle too.Would recommend.
