    Walked in at 8.55pm. Last orders for food was 9pm. Staff got to me at 9.01pm and refused me food. 1 minute passed 9pm if the 2 staff were not chatting it would have been OK. I think the kick in the teeth is the "9.01pm sorry with a grin" that made my blood boil. I eat there not massively, twice a month with my partner bit that's me done.

    Having moved to Grangetown a few years ago, The Grange has become our much loved local. Dai and the team do a brilliant job. Love the place!

    Definitely the best pub in Grangetown, less than ten minutes walk from the back of Cardiff Central Station. Decent choice of beers, a really good beer garden, the pub is also dog friendly. The food is fantastic, really really enjoyed the fried chicken burger, as well as the wings.

    We started to visit this pub recently because we live in Grangetown, and we love it. The staff, the food, the environment, everything is great. Definitely we recommend it and we will come back soon.

    Lovely pub. Really friendly staff and some nice beers

  • 5/5 Simon A. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly traditional pub serving a great range of draft beer and ciders along with plenty of wines, spirits etc. Also sell food, the menu looks good, although we'd already eaten before our visit. Family friendly too. Well worth stopping off if you're passing by.

    One of my things about living in Grangetown - nice pub, people are friendly, dog friendly (which is as a dog fan is a massive perk), vegan food feels like it's not an afterthought and is nice! Good beer selection and whilst I've not taken part yet I've heard the pub quiz and I've worked out the answers myself and it's a good time

  • 5/5 tam 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely vegan curry, friendly staff, great service

  • 5/5 Glenys S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Mike H. 1 year ago on Google
    Traditional real ale pub run by and for the local community but a great welcome for everyone. Good food to go with the excellent choice of beers. Whenever I'm in Cardiff this is my first choice of watering hole.

    Great Sunday roast. I think my mate gaz is on commission. Can't come to Cardiff without him taking me here

  • 5/5 StarGazer67676 1 year ago on Google
    I'd wanted to come here for years whilst living in Cardiff but unfortunately never had the chance.. I finally took my partner here for a Sunday roast, and the Grange did not disappoint! The staff were friendly, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was lovely and vibrant... Definitely recommend!!!

  • 5/5 Peterowsky 10 months ago on Google
    I had an incredibly good time at The Grange!!! Starting with drink, there is a wide selection of beers and spirits that are sure to sate anyone's tastes. The pub has a grand atmosphere; between the music, the (entirely positive) smell of old wood, and the meticulous decorum it maintains itself as a really approachable and genuine. I've had the loaded fries with cauliflower cheese and bacon, as well as an incredible sweet mayonnaise (I think it was mixed with cranberry???) That really blew my mind. Generous portions, I skipped breakfast and was still fully satisfied after. The staff were friendly, a special shout-out out to "Bunny" James who was very knowledgeable about the beers on tap, as well as genuinely warm and helpful in every matter. Highly recommended for anyone, from solo travellers to families.

    Was awesome spot to stumble into. Great service from friendly staff and really good food that we enjoyed in the wonderful garden lounge out back. Look forward to our next visit

  • 5/5 Elis G. 11 months ago on Google
    One of the Best pubs in Cardiff, with a great pint of Guinness amongst other drinks. friendly staff a brilliant pub grub. Dog friendly with a lush beer garden.

  • 5/5 Ellen T. 1 year ago on Google
    The Grange is a fab pub and one of our favourites on the west side of the river. There are always at least 3 Real Ales, usually great changing guests. The staff are really friendly and the pints are good quality and a good price for so close to Cardiff city centre

  • 5/5 Saran D. 7 months ago on Google
    A dog-friendly bar with a variety of food and drink options. They have many options in terms of lager/beer/pale ale (They also serve many Welsh Lagers and Pale Ales here). The popular dish, Grange Fried Chicken (GFC), is a hearty portion of amazingly seasoned chicken and chips, house-slaw, corn, and gravy. Another favourite of mine is the loaded fries. However, since the topping changes every week, sometimes the dish can be underwhelming. The Grange holds its weekly quiz night on Wednesdays! The Quiz night has a very good atmosphere and the best teams win prizes.

    A real gem of a place. Eight of us "Old blokes" turned up today at random. Great range of beers, lovely atmosphere, and the food was the icing on the cake. Just superb good service. Hope to be back soon

  • 4/5 Nichole M. 9 months ago on Google
    Good selection of drinks, including a few different ciders. Relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. I had fish and chips (really well done) but my husband's loaded fries were disappointing- however, the fries/chips themselves were excellent and the toppings change, so it may be better other days. We would definitely go back.

  • 5/5 Anna 8 months ago on Google
    A great pub! Go here every Wednesday for the pub quiz, thought we would try the roast on a Sunday, was very nice! Make sure to book, it can sell out quite quick!

  • 5/5 Mark B. 8 months ago on Google
    An all-around great pub. Very busy for mid-week with amazing staff behind the bar. They've a decent selection of draught beers and a reasonably sized menu, although I didn't try the food. Its a little out of the way of the city centre but worth the trip

  • 5/5 James W. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent. The food looked and tasted great. Beer was spot on. Staff were friendly. Would definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Tracey R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great local pub, really friendly, good food, great selection of beers, plenty of seating and a large beer garden - what's not to enjoy 🙂

  • 3/5 JEFFREY C. 1 year ago on Google
    This place could be better, I visited on a football home game but unfortunately every table in the two rooms of the pub was reserved I can only guess for a quiz???? Leaving myself and quite a few other families having to stand and get in other patrons way, not ideal with young children.

  • 4/5 Eryl D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great beer and good value food. Also some very nice singing to be heard ,especially when the London Welsh contingent are down for an International Rugby match

  • 5/5 Bobbo 2 years ago on Google
    Second (and third) visits to The Grange whilst in Cardiff for the rugby. First visit 3 years ago and enjoyed it - hence the 2nd and 3rd visits last Saturday. Plenty of room, served quickly and efficiently by pleasant staff, clean toilets - all round excellent pub. Will definitely be my pub for rugby on future visits - I live in London

  • 5/5 Polly C. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome pub! Really good food, great drinks choice, dog friendly and fab pub quiz on Wednesdays!

  • 4/5 Adrian M. 2 years ago on Google
    Popped in this pub post visiting the Tramshed. There was a lovely cask stout on. Service was friendly. Also was a quiz night. I think the ambience could be improved with some uplighting as it was a bit too bright ( for me). Would return though.

  • 3/5 mandy a. 2 years ago on Google
    Pub has gone down hill because of the attitude of some of the staff. This has made me visit less frequently. This has also been noted by a number of my friends. Staff act like you're an inconvenience, especially at the end of the night when they want to close. J've had staff threaten to take my drink off me and when questioned tell me that they can close when they want. Hardly a welcoming environment. They are lucky there aren't many other options in the area as I wouldn't choose to visit a pub with such unfriendly staff. J've never experienced this anywhere else.

  • 4/5 Amit L. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely pub inside. Doesn't look like a chain pub. Has lots of character inside. Nice to see dogs allowed inside. Food was really good. Few bad things; Doesn't specify on menu if the Grange fried chicken is on or off the bone. (I should have asked too) They didn't serve any deserts when we went on a friday night. Would definitely go back and recommend to others too.

    Good food : home made fries, the best burger i have eaten for years ! Curry is very good too . Good choice of beers and nice vibes !

  • 2/5 Sami H. 2 years ago on Google
    The pub itself, atmosphere and beer were great but the young girl who served us was rude and seemed more interested in her phone than anything else. Prices are reasonable.
