Worst roast I've ever had. Went for a work Christmas do in the week. Got there at 7:05 and our starters didn't come until 7:30. Worse still our mains took until 8:35 to come and by that point I was starving so could eat anything. Almost anything but the awful Christmas roast with "all the trimmings" as advertised. The turkey was rock hard, some of it even crispy. I have never had turkey so dry it was crispy. And it took a good 20 cuts of my knife to cut through some of it. Moving onto the potatoes, or should I say 2 potatoes. 2 small potatoes. In what reality is 2 potatoes enough for a roast? They were clearly cooked from frozen like the rest of the veg and were hard and undercooked. Parsnips were burnt. The 3 brussel sprouts were hard and undercooked again. The Chardonnay carrots all 3 of them were tiny and tasted funny. The gravy which made the tiny side dish plate turn into a swimming pool was very salty. The singular pig in one blanket was cremated and the singular stuffing ball was very crunchy and no bigger than a raspberry. All of that must've been cheap with an accompanying starter (duck parfait which was the only nice bit of food although I only got two pieces of bread you'd expect to find with egg and soldiers)? Right? No. It was £23. For a tiny portion of horrible roast which was worse then school roast dinners by far. I can get a 3 course Christmas roast at Toby Carvery for £16 and a 2 course for only £12! Would not recommend to anyone looking at going for a work do or food in general. Shocked at how bad it was. Drastic improvement necessary.

Revolution Cardiff Bottomless Brunch – Mixed Vibes 🍳🍹 This weekend, we hit up Revolution Cardiff for their popular bottomless brunch. With a buzzing vibe and endless mocktails, we were excited to dive in – but it was a bit of a mixed bag. Here’s the lowdown: What We Ate: 🥑 Avocado & Poached Eggs – Two poached eggs on smashed avocado toast, drizzled with sriracha and chilli flakes. Sounds dreamy, right? Unfortunately, the eggs weren’t runny (a real letdown because who doesn’t love that egg pop shot?!) 🍗 Fried Chicken & Bacon Waffles – Stacked waffles with crispy fried chicken, bacon, and maple syrup. It tasted decent but felt a little light on portion size. 🍔 Classic Fried Chicken Burger – A brioche bun packed with fried chicken, lettuce, pickles, and Rev’s relish. This one did hit the spot, especially paired with the crispy fries. 🍟 Garlic Chilli Fries – Fries tossed in garlic butter, Cajun spice, chilli flakes, lime juice, salt, and pepper. These had great flavour and a little spicy kick! Mocktails: The Highlight! 🍓🍸 The mocktails were lush – we could’ve sipped them all day: 🌸 Strawberry Woo Woo – Sweet, fruity, and refreshing. A 10/10. ⭐ Pstar Martini* – Smooth, tropical, and indulgent. Loved it. Final Thoughts: The drinks were fab, but the food left us wanting a bit more – bigger portions and runnier eggs, please! Still, it’s a fun spot for a laid-back brunch with mates. Nothing that can’t be improved! Would we go again? For the mocktails, definitely! 🍹

Unfortunately, our group had a highly disappointing experience. Firstly, the service was extremely slow. Over the course of the two-hour period, we received only 6 drinks, despite this being "bottomless". This significantly detracted from the overall experience. The quality of the food was also far below expectations. The chicken burgers were incredibly dry, the mushrooms on the cooked breakfast were burned and inedible, and the baked beans had been sitting under a heat lamp for so long they had developed a thick film. The avocado toast was similarly disappointing—the eggs were overcooked yet somehow still slimy, the toast was soggy, and the entire meal was served cold. The only redeeming factor was our server, who was polite, attentive, and did her best despite the clear understaffing. She noticed our dissatisfaction and kindly brought us a couple of extra drinks as a gesture of goodwill, which we appreciated. However, it was evident that she was overworked and struggling to keep up with the demands of the service. Overall, this was not the standard we expected.

Was so looking forward to this, 2 hours was booked in for had to download the app, not even busy at 2pm took 35 mins for drinks to come, 50 mins for chicken skewers which were 6 quid and sweet potato fries 3 pound not worth it at all, food was cold must of been sat ages as we had to ask to see where our food was twice when it ocme it was this.. Anyway wouldn't come again, staff standing about while one behind bar is doing everyone's drinks, I asked. A lady excuse me where our food she said sorry I don't work on this floor then just stood there instead of going to find someone for me, good job we booked for 2 hours as it takes this for just 2 rounds so disappointed, didn't complain about the food as it would of took even longer and also didn't leave it as I paid and didn't want to waste money, we were on 1st floor aswell just to point out

We had an experience day with Virgin for our wedding gift, we went to Cardiff excited for our "traditional afternoon tea" ... but what came out was horrendous, a plate of deep fried food with half a burger which was SOLID and overcooked. There was a dessert one too, which came out with a waffle and tiramisu... what is British about an American waffle and an Italian tiramisu? The food was not good, and I truly hope your trash this and actually start an original afternoon tea with a pot of tea. All just cooked from frozen & thawed desserts. However there were plus sides, the guy who made the cocktail was great and the waiter was really nice!

A party of 26 pre ordered food and a cocktail making master class for today. The 2 members of staff were really interactive with the group and all had a turn of making cocktails. Then some people who pre ordered calamari but there was none available even though the food was pre booked. Then when the dessert arrived there was no pre ordered brownies and the cheese cake that arrived was frozen solid. They did replace the dessert and starter and compensated us with free bottles of proseco but the fact that it was PRE ORDERED it all should have been available. Not really impressed with the food service.
