    Excellent fish & chips! The fish was very fresh tasting, the batter and chips were perfectly crispy, and the portions were generous for under £10. The Brains beer was also very good, and the service was prompt on a Friday early evening.

    A fantastic quaint place to drink with local beers and local cooked food at the ready. A must for folk passing by or just a visit before the next, on this busy high Street. Unfortunately it's a little small and seems more accustomed to couples and groups, than family day's at Cardiff. The food is cooked on premises and the drink is often served swift and friendly, can highly recommend and would definitely visit another time . Thanks

    As one of the original Cardiff pubs , I'm glad to see it's been refurbished sympathetically.

    Popped in a couple of times whilst staying in a hotel nearby. Great service every time. Very friendly. Beer was good. Had food on the second visit, for a decent pub meal this is the place to go. One of the nicest pub meals we had. Would definitely come back.

    Great to pop in here and have a pint of Brains in between shopping. Staff are really freindly and there is a small sitting area outside that gets the sun on a lucky day. Plenty of space onside even though covid is still causing havoc. They do treat covid seriously in here and details and social distancing are required. They do meals, but did not get a chance this time, but hopefully plan it a bit better for our next visit.
