Found this cozy inn (or maybe it's more of a pub?) just a short drive from Cardiff. The food is absolutely amazing, and they've got a nice selection of beers. Service can be a tad slow, but that's hardly an issue. You're not here for a quick pint anyway; it's all about kicking back and enjoying your

Great service from Darren who made us all very welcome and served us perfectly. Great food and atmosphere too. Thank you!

Ben and Darren are amazing, thank you for an amazing cooked breakfast, our puppy laika absolutely loved hers and cleaned her bowl. Thank you ?

Love this place and use it for some celebratory meals etc. It is dog friendly which is a very good thing but maybe a cut off for the evenings as a suggestion. Lovely place and will continue to use it.
Chester Cobblepot
Amazing pub, just mind your head when entering if you're over 4ft tall. Definitely an entrance for Hobbits.

Not the best!Haven't been here for many, many years and both my sister and I were disappointed. In fact, I'm not sure I would even want to go back tbh.Only went for a catch up lunch. Service was very slow and we asked for the lunchtime menu and the two course option.We asked simply for the panang curry (with the added option of grilled chicken for an extra £3). However, the girl couldn't seem to order that on their new tablet as the curry didn't have the chicken option on it. It stated tgst it was vegetarian (as per the menu mind, despite offering chicken as an extra). She had to go away to sort it out. Then we wanted to order a simple coffee and pudding, but was told she'd have to come back for that. The curry itself was tasty enough but a bit pricey for what it was. We had to wait some time for our coffees, which didn't come with the mini pudding. The pudding came after we had finished our coffees and it was almost cold (but tasty nonetheless). If we had wanted separate coffee and pudding there was an option to have that of course!The place itself is lovely. There was a lovely feel to it with an open fire going.The staff were polite enough too. Not chit chatty, but polite.So, it was a shame really. we were left a bit deflated and disappointed with this experience and hoped for a better catch up.Not much else to say really.

Busy venue, nice food, friendly service, recent new ownership. Not been for a while and noticed prices have increased. Inflationary pressures, I assume.
Marilou Price
Recently done up, cosy vibe, excellent service , has pub food classics to choose from and Mediterranean twist dishes in addition to the menu, selection of beverages also extensive but pricey apart from your regular wines and beers.

Went for the Sunday roast and it was delicious! We both went for the trio, which was turkey, pork and beef - all well cooked, served with plenty of vegetables, roast potatoes, a Yorkshire pudding and as much gravy as you want.Followed it up with dessert of the banofee choux bun and the chocolate brownie, which were both amazing.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly - there were four kids and they enjoyed the food and nobody minded them running around.

We have only praise. First of all the serving staff were exceptionally helpful, kind and flexible. Our table was in a lovely position. All of the food on the mother's day menu was fantastic! We had a variety of items from the menu, we were never rushed, and you could taste the quality in the ingredients. I'd booked for mothers day as I had had such a good experience previously, my mother, grand mother and sister in law really enjoyed themselves. Thank you for making mothers day special.
Warm, cosy and welcoming. Food was great, even be we had 40%off, we will return. Loved the fires!

Arrived for our booking just after 11am due to slow traffic.Was warmly welcomed by our waitress Mari!We were given time (just enough) to first order drinks and then again to order our food.Mari recommended the full English breakfast which she got spot on! Both breakfasts were hot and very delicious, the orange juices were cold and the hot chocolate (for my daughter) and breakfast tea (for me) were both great too. Just to add, there’s was a nice little extra touch of having a small cube of flapjack with each hot drink too!Please thank Abbey the chef for delivering a very appetising and delicious breakfast! Well done! Loved it all including the service from Mari!Will definitely be back and happy to recommend!Oh yes the pub itself is a gem, with thatched roof, open fires and good clean toilets too.Absolutely faultless! Thank youParking: Plentiful and right by the pub itself

Service was poor towards end of service where a whole dessert order was missed. Staff were then unable to call us a taxi. When I returned to the bar to wait for a second taxi, I was moved from a table in case it was booked. Very poor customer service I'm afraid.
Mike Looker
Food very good definitely a notch up from 'pub grub'. Booked for 7.15 and they only had turkey left as a sunday roast option. Not a problem , my ribeye steak with peppercorn sauce was very tasty!
Janet Chapman
Service was excellent throughout. The table allocated was in a good position. Cleanliness very good. We enjoyed the meal: it was served reasonably quickly, and was hot and tasty. The staff were polite and friendly, without being overly attentive as in some other restaurants.Parking: Plenty of parking available on the day we visited
