Table booked for 19.45pm. While waiting for two more guest to arrive at 19.53, the waitress announced we had to order by 20.00 as the kitchen was closing! Order for four was placed the other two arrived as she walked away but the waitress came back and hurriedly took their order! Food arrived quickly was pretty bland. When desserts were offered it was we have just one of this one of that and icecream. Three orders placed and two delivered, the third was a sorry we couldn't defrost it quickly! Wouldn't go again.

Our first visit here. My sister and I arrived 15 minutes before kitchen closure so to be honest we were not expecting much. We ordered two curries half and half and WOW! ... I couldn't believe my eyes when they arrived at the table.They looked beautifully presented on the plate and tasted as good as they looked. Friendly staff and dog friendly. I have a well behaved little yorkie cross but it can be hard to enjoy going places with her as dog friendly can be difficult to find. We will definitely be back to try the Sunday roast.

One of the few real pubs in Cardiff. Great food, friendly

Six of us were there today and all food was excellent. Rump steaks, liver, scampi and fish dishes were cooked to perfection and ample portions. Will be returning.Parking: Lots of spaces

Lovely cosy pub. Lovely homemade food, brilliant service - brilliant all round . Ps. The Biscoff Cheesecake is an absolute must ?

Nice pub. Went for the Sunday roast. Service was good, portion size good, meat, veg and meal in general was good. But I think the potatoes were frozen, they'd ran out of a few things and the wait was an hour.

I was expecting a lot from the Pantmawr as, before I visited, I'd looked on their online menu which looked really good. Problem. That menu has changed and is nothing like the better one online (change the online menu if it's changed in the pub). The food was average at best. I only ordered a burger and it was rather expensive for what you got plus I had to send it back as the chips arrived luke warm. My friend ordered the rump steak and most of it was gristle and inedible. I told him he should have told them but he was hungry and just left most of the steak half chewed and to one side. Need a better meat supplier I think! I love the Pant as I've been coming her for years but they need to improve the food a bit before I return for a meal. I'll definitely back for a pint though as the ales looked grwat

Good burger made great by pulled pork. All burgers need guerkin which was sadly missing. 10/10

My family and I went to the Pantmawr Inn on Sunday for Sunday lunch; there were about 10 of us attending. Overall it was a fairly standard procedure - no frills and got the job done - but i wouldn’t necessarily recommend it. There are better places in Cardiff to go for Sunday Roast (at any price range).Food:I had pate and toast to start. The pate was okay (a bit too course for my liking), but the toast was terrible. I didn’t realise bread was such a hot commodity right now because with the 4 scant quarters I was rationed, you’d think the Germans were back flying overhead.I had the beef Sunday roast for my main. This was fairly good actually. The beef was tender (although not nice thin slices like you’d expect but rather a slow cooked thing - nice either way). The veg was good. However the roast potatoes were truly abysmal. It was almost like they’ve never selected a roasting potato before because these tasted and felt like undercooked peeled baked potatoes. They weren’t crispy at all and they felt raw in the centre, and they were huge as well so you couldn’t even try and be polite and attempt to finish them.Staff/service:We were left without cutlery after our starters so had to wait a while after our mains were served before we could eat. The wait time for service was already quite long, so this last minute hurdle before eating was particularly frustrating.I asked one of the waitresses if they served mushy peas with the fish and chips rather than garden peas and she said no (which influenced my decision to go for the roast)… later I saw many other diners with mushy peas! Put the option of “mushy or garden” on the menu to limit your staffs’ confusion perhaps?Lastly, why don’t you have some sort of uniform for your waiters/waitresses? Half the staff were walking around in sports gear (tight gym stuff) which just wasn’t nice to have around near the dining table. I’m sure they were clean but I’ve seen that sort of attire in my local gym and it just reminded me of sweat.
