We had high hopes for this place but unfortunately we were disappointed by the food. The rarebit was pretty good (6/10). The lamb cawl was fair (4/10) and the steak & ale pie was poor (2/10). Both the cawl and the pie had a bad slightly metallic aftertaste. The pie was way too salty and flavors were unbalanced (we couldn?t finish it because it was so unpalatable - a rarity for us). We hope they can improve in the future!

?Welsh soup, "Cawl Cymreig" in Welsh, is a mutton and vegetable stew cooked by Welsh people in winter. On March 1, St David, the patron Saint of Wales Day is a day that every household will bring out their own version to commemorate and celebrate. The proportion of ingredients varies, but most of them use seasonal vegetables, plus leeks, potatoes, rutabagas/Swedish turnips (? The translation is so beautiful, it means Swede), radishes, etc., and are stewed with beef or sheep. The slow-cooked Cawl Cymreig lamb in this restaurant can be forked easily, and the vanilla flavor is at the back. I loved eating this stomach-warming thing after being out for a long time that day!I also tried the Welsh rarebit, "caws pobi". The bread is crispy and then spread with a prepared cheese sauce on top and then baked. The secret of this dish that is said to have appeared in the 18th century is in the sauce. In addition to cheddar cheese, it usually also includes Brown Ale, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. It uses sourdough as the base and chives on top to neutralize the greasy, spicy and crunchy texture. Just one bite after another. . . Originally it was called rabbit in English, but due to the lack of rabbits, it was renamed rarebit?Follow @toiletpaperkiu to see more, and let?s get together #??????!

Found this place through various YouTube videos and wanted to try it out. And it was sooo worth it. So especially for the drinks and the appetizer.Clear recommendation: Welsh Rarebits in various versions. If you happen to be in Cardiff, you should definitely stop by.

We went for food here on 29/12/2023 and it was amazing? The food was absolutely stunning! The manager (I?m so sorry I didn?t catch her name) was an absolute gem along with everyone working. They made us feel so at home, had a good laugh and a joke with all the staff. Overall 10/10, we will definately be back??Ps Long Island ice tea is top notch here?

I went here with a few friends and we were sat outside but the place stunk of nasty toilets. The food was like eating dry wallpaper, bland, souless, tasteless. I've have better food from a can. Come on guys you need to do better than that, you are in the middle of Cardiff, prime location to do well and you serve that food which I wouldn't serve to a rat.You really need to make the place smell better too.Staff were fine but there are fundamental flaws. Fix the smell, fix the capacity, it's so choked up when I walked inside.Absolutely work on the food. Word of mouth is very valuable and you won't have returning customers. The owners need to have a serious rethink.

Never in my life have I had such a warm and cozy welcome, what a stunning staff and such a great attitude towards service. The food was delectable. I had been craving Welsh rarebit for years and it was great to finally satisfy that craving with some traditional and homely food. The burger was juicy and flavourful, and the Guinness plentifull. I can't wait to return. Thanks El

Visited here pre concert using First Table. I had the Welsh rarebit to start which I absolutely love, followed by the steak which was cooked to perfection! Such good portion sizes & good value for money (even better with first table as it was 50% off!) Lots of good cocktails too.

I would fully recommend this establishment if you are looking to punish someone. Or if a partner has been cheating and you want to get them back. Going here is worse than cheating in my opinion.I had the misfortune of attending a friends birthday here last week and the whole experience left me feeling ill. We had to argue to be allowed to sit inside despite requesting that we would be able to when making the booking. The smell was foul inside, with drains and toilets lingering in the air.As for the food, I feel for the people outside as I think the chef must have borrowed once of the heating lamps from out there to cook my starter - like warm, barely cooked through and certainly not edible.The main was a similar theme but to be honest I was not hungry by this point anyway as the smell had wore me down and we just wanted to get the bill. The lady serving was pleasant enough but fighting a losing battle with the quality of the food being served. This place is prime location for drinks, I?m not sure why it doesn?t just focus on that. The decor is also horrendous but at the bottom of the list in terms of things to improve on before worrying about that.
