   We hired the function room for a private party. The service was flawless - staff were super helpful, food was lovely (& there was plenty of it), & the room itself was gorgeous. We had a great night, due in large part to how fab the staff & venue were. Thank you so, so, much. Special shout-out to Steve the bartender for getting the karaoke started with those silky pipes of his - what a legend!! xx

   My husband and I recently organised a charity quiz night at this pub in support of Mind UK, and it was an absolute delight. The private function room was just what we needed – spacious enough to accommodate all our teams comfortably while allowing us to seamlessly connect our laptop to the screens for presentations and videos. The stage was a fantastic addition, making it easy to showcase our raffle prizes and extend heartfelt gratitude to our guests. The microphone system was a game-changer, especially when the energy was high and drinks were flowing. It helped rally everyone's attention without a hitch. The private bar was a hit among our guests, offering a fantastic array of drinks, and the fully equipped karaoke machine was an absolute blast. The staff were incredibly kind and supportive throughout, contributing to our successful fundraising efforts for Mind UK. Their assistance was invaluable, and we're already planning to book another event here soon. A huge thank you to the entire team for making our night memorable and for aiding us in raising significant funds for such a crucial cause. Highly recommended for any event needs – they truly go above and beyond!

   Absolutely heaving with rugby fans, there for the Cardiff v Sale match, inside and out, three deep at the bar. Bar staff excellent, experienced and efficient, hardly any wait for service. Brains bitter on tip top condition, what's not to like? Pity ot was raining outside....

   What a great pub with hugely friendly staff and customers. We live in London but are both from North Wales having spent lots of time in Cardiff too. We decided to take a trip there to watch the Wales v England World Cup game. The evening before the match we went to the City Arms for a drink and received a great welcome from Gary and his staff. When we asked whether we could reserve a table for the following evening we were told that reservations were not possible. However, before we left, Gary told us he’d break the rule of a lifetime and keep a table for us to watch the match. True to his word, there was that same table all ready for us when we turned up the next evening! What a great landlord! We had a really good night with lots of banter from the staff and locals……and the beer (Rev James) was superb! Thanks so much to everybody who made us feel so welcome. Just a shame about the result. Bob and Pam.

   Fantastic bar with a lovely owner and bar staff. We came here as a stag on a Sunday and the owner and bar staff were great craic, took photos of us behind the bar and went out of their way to see that we could watch a sports match. Great pints of peroni, would definitely return as it was one of the highlights of our trip.
