Catch up with a friend.

Called in after work for tea and a catch up with a friend. Service was friendly and it was explained there would be a short delay with food as they were very busy and food was cooked fresh. This was not a problem and the food was well worth the wait(which wasn’t long)! I had cheese & onion pie and my friend had steak and ale pie, made fresh and cooked to perfection, served with fresh veg and home cooked chips. It was delicious! Will definitely be going back.

Lovely food.

Myself and my partner went for a meal after work. I've got to say the steak was perfect. I always order medium rare and in a lot of restaurants it can be hit and miss. But it was perfect. My partners pie was delicious. Loved the Christmas decorations and ambience. Even though the manageress was on her own there was no fault in service. We will be back very soon.

Good value lunch

Nice cosy pub with a real fire. Friendly service and good value pub grub cooked with pride. I can recommend the chicken breast in white wine sauce. Good atmosphere, home cooked food, lovely warm log fire. Would recommend. Excellent value Pool table and darts available.

Simply the best pub in Cardiff

As the title suggests, this is the best pub in the area. Great ale, great staff, great food and great atmosphere. Always something going on. Keep up the good work guys..Just stopped off for one but ended up staying longer , very nice comfortable pub worth a visit.

Definitely come again.

All the staff are extremely friendly and make everyone feel totally welcome. The food we had was top notch and apparently all home cooked. I had the curry off the menu and my wife had the chicken stew with dumplings from the chalkboard. We didn’t leave a speck on our plates. On top of that we got to park our camper for nothing overnight. What more can you ask for. Oh by the way, it’s in a lovely part of Lancashire. Don’t just take my word for it, go and try it yourself.

Popped in & so glad we did!

We were passing through and saw this fantastic building and were curious as it looked amazing. We were not disappointed at all. I had the Steak and ale pie and although don’t normally get excited by a pie I had to complement their chef as it was perfect! My wife was not disappointed by their burgers either. Lovely Staff, great service, not rushed but not too laid back. I would 100% recommend to any travellers looking for a drink and a bite to eat in Cardiff (I hope I spelt that right!)

Excellent all round.

Visited today for Sunday Lunch. It was our 4th visit here and worth the 1 hour drive as the food is in a different league to similar establishments near me. I would go as far as to say the quality of the food rivals the Barn at Moor Hall which has a Michelin Star. The Bill was £150 for 3 courses for 3 people including drinks which for the standard is very acceptable. Service was very good and the majority of the staff are very young so well done to them and very well done to the kitchen.

Worth every penny!

We booked late but were still accommodated. Greeted by friendly staff. The food choices were just brilliant and we all found so many things we wanted to eat it was hard to choose. In the end we had a portion of crab arrancini which was delicate, crispy and tasty whilst we waited for our starters My husband and I had scallops from the specials to begin, he then had belly pork with mash and pork cheek and I had hake Kiev. Both were just lovely and I stopped short of licking the plate!
