   Had an issue with the Shipyard Ale. Quickly resolved by staff after Order was made through the [W] App. Then as 2 pints we were offered by staff were flat too, management also resolved this issue, with a replacement beer at no extra cost, meaning happy customers, who will defo return again, . Very happy with all that was done tonight, thank you Friday 21st Nov 2025 (9pm).

   Ordered hot chocolate and found out their hot chocolate machine doesn't work. I asked to change the drink but the rude staff said nothing they can do about it. Had to go to the bar 3 times for them to suddenly be able to do something about it. This is your average Wetherspoon except the staff is rude and unhelpful.

   I really enjoyed this place,a very friendly atmosphere, youngsters welcome before 9pm. I attended a family meal with 3 generation attending. The menu is varied to suit all ages and prices are reasonable. I found the food excellent as did everyone at our table. You can download the app, order and pay from it then it's delivered to your table. I will definitely recommend trying it.

   Terrible smell of urine and BO inside! Food nothing like what I had ordered. Everyone smoking and vaping in the non smoking outside space. One of the worst pubs I have been too in 40 years. No one cared Avoid if possible. Worst basic real ale beer choice than in my Wetherspoons local in Essex but was cheaper and OK quality. It was quick but definitely get what you pay for.

   I arrived for breakfast and was given a warm welcome by the staff, the food was excellent, warm and cooked to perfection. I liked the bar and one of its standout features are the large picture windows making the place feel open, bright and airy. I'd definitely visit again if I'm in the area and it's well placed for the hotel I was starting in which was just around the corner.

   The place is superb and located in City Road close to Newport Road in Cardiff with plenty of parking around it, though if nothing available in City Road one may need to pay for parking that is just adjacent to witherspoon. Having said that there is no parking in Newport Road. Breakfast is served and prices are not to cost you your arm and a leg. In any case you may have as many cuppas as you wish of your favorite hot beverage with the price of one *for the whole day* Suitable for all types of mini meetings starting from a meal for one. Bathrooms available, has access to wheelchair and friendly staff to their customers.

   Standard wetherspoons grub, wasn't terrible but got the order wrong, then took wildly varying amounts of time for all our meals to come out. Both hot drinks machines were out of hot chocolate powder which again took time to sort. It was uncomfortably hot inside here too.
