We popped in for a belated Valentine’s Day on Friday and despite it being busy, we thankfully managed to get a table (thanks Cat!). The staff were very friendly and attentive. We ordered drinks while browsing the menu. I ordered the Camembert Samosa while my partner ordered the Breakfast Scotch Egg for starters. The portions were great and the food was gorgeous! Now for the mains, I opted for the Slow Braised Brisket of Beef, while my partner ordered the Roasted Lamb Rump. Both were amazing and again the portion sizes were generous. I couldn’t fault a thing. The atmosphere in there was great and we’ll definitely be back! Thank you! I can’t wait to see what Francois and Serge do with the place!

Located in Penarth just off the town centre, probably a five minute walking distance. This is divided into two sections, a drinking pub section and the Dining section. The Dining section was rather busy with lots of people and nice level is rather high. Clientele in there The menu was pretty much as expecting for a pub with the wine, spirit and beer selection as well as food. We was rather odd as one waitress at the order for the drinks, but could not take the order for the food followed by another waitressing the order for the food. Order the sirloin 8 ounce cooked rare, which was pretty much to perfection,but the sides were rather poor with the hand cut chips were under done. The onion ring was oil logged and soggy, the salad non-existent and the mushroom was underdone. The wine selection that I had was poor almost undrinkable. The total came up to almost £40, which seemed quite steep for a pub. The steak which is highly recommended, although the rest of the accompaniment to the dish is a let down!

Dreadful customer service with weird policies. Was my local pre pandemic and thought i would give it a try with my dog as nearby. Shabby on outside and empty at 6.45 on a wednesday. Ordered my pint and was then told that dogs are not allowed in after 6 as part of group policy. was then asked to sit outside in cold or leave. place was previously dog friendly. when asked why dogs were allowed told it was group policy in case it was busy and they take up space ??? place was empty on what was meant to be Steak night. the lady was rude and a should not work in hospitality. We use their other pub the sully inn which allows dogs in all the time so it is not group policy. It had the air of a pub going out of business and it surely will with people like her at the helm. Avoid at all costs. place could also do with weeding and cleaning the outside which was filthy. Wouldn’t trust the hygiene of the kitchen if the owners allow the exterior to be so filthy.

We've had a previous lovely experience for Sunday lunch. But tonight we were treated really poorly on arrival by the man behind the bar. Rudely ignored then forced to sit on a really uncomfortable table despite my boyfriend asking 3 times for an alternative table & my mother being 70 with a back condition & numerous other tables being available. My boyfriend had to get me an alternative chair as it was so uncomfortable. I'd never return after this experience, despite the food being very good.

Used to live down in Penarth Marina and the pilot was always worth the trek up the hill for. Hadn’t visited in over 2 years but was back visiting last weekend. Still superb. Food was delicious and as good as we remembered it. Beer selection was unique and interesting. The manager who was always so friendly and helpful was also still there and treated us like we hadn’t left. Always will have fond memories of this place.

Dining at a local spot in Cardiff was a delightful experience. The Fish and Chips were a local specialty, perfectly crispy and flavorful. Paired with a rich Dark Beer, it showcased the best of Welsh cuisine. The cozy atmosphere, coupled with the introduction by local work colleagues, made it feel like a genuine community find. The warmth of the place and the genuine flavors earned a solid 5 out of 5.
