Bar pub in Cardiff

“Large group of 13 celebrating a birthday. Every single meal was well cooked, presented and tasted lovely. Service was excellent and prompt delivery of drinks ordering off the app. Really good.”

“Very nice and good and lovely. Chock a block full, karaoke later with some of the locals, and the karaoke man too, singing well enough to charm the birds out of their feathers, let alone the trees. Brilly willy iriz.”

“We travel to Sophia Gardens form Cornwall to officiate at the judo competitions. We came across The Plough and decided to give it ago for dinner one evening. And since that first time we return here every time we are in Cardiff. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The menu is varied enough for everybody to find something they like. The food is well presented, hot (unless its a salad) and deliciously tasty. Even when very busty we have never been overlooked or forgotten. The staff are very attentive. Highly recommended.”

“We were an hour late to our reservation due to traffic and we spoke to the restaurant over the phone and they kindly held our table. The decor and ambience in the restaurant was so lovely and it had a real homely feel with traditional Christmas trees and decorations. The meal we had was delicious and so fresh and the service was excellent also. We would strongly recommend The Maltsters Hotel and we will definitely be back.”

“We went for Breakfast with Santa and it was a fantastic experience. The price was very reasonable, and the food was delicious. Luci and the rest of the staff were amazing—so friendly, welcoming, and great with the kids. It really made the morning special. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be back!”

“I have been going to the Highfields for many years, it has an amazing community atmosphere and the people are very friendly. The staff and management are lovely and very welcoming, always ready to have a chat and some laughs. The customer service is excellent. The pub has a large bar, a skittle alley which also has a dart board and a pool table, these are always popular. The lounge has recently been decorated and already hosted some great parties. Highly recommend this pub 10 out of 10!”

“Very friendly club played skittles upstairs and the hosts supplied sausage and chips after the match Thanks for the hospitality”

“Place with specific smell. On time my visit was many childrens with noise. But ok, women from service really friendly.”

“Excellent service and great food. Had a best steak ever. Peppercorn sauce and fries was great.Me and my family had a wonderful dinner and been looked after a lot by Mihail, Raz and lovely Bella. Must say is best restaurant in Newport, probably top 10 in uk! Thank You.”

“We had a brilliant family get-together here last Sunday. We booked at short notice and the staff were so accommodating even giving us a private area for our party of 17, where we were also able to watch the football. Everybody ate and the food and service was superb! Also great value. Would highly recommend and look forward to going back.”

“Great pub, good beers (cask, craft keg, lager etc). Staff were absolutely brilliant! Friendly, fast and welcoming. Food was delicious and super fresh. Thanks for a lovely time!”

“Me and my partner visited today (4th of October). We enjoyed so much, girl servicing was so nice, polite and helpful. Food was outstanding!!!! I've had steak which was exactly as I like it, there was no trouble when we asked for my chips to be cooked a bit more, Dave had mix grill, everything was cooked to perfection!!!! Beer was nice too. We will highly recommend this pub to everyone. Thank you very much.”

“Great pub: brilliant atmosphere, huge selection of drinks, amazing staff and fantastic food (prepared at sister pub The Pen & Wig)”

“I found this pub by accident. Friendly community pub where everyone knows each other. A big shout out to the very friendly bar woman.”

“This may seem a strange occasion for leaving a review, but we had the post-funeral wake for my mum at the Ridgeway recently and they looked after us as well as we could have asked. We booked the cold buffet and this was excellent. A range of well filled sandwiches and rolls (we asked for veg and non-veg), quiches, salad, and some delicious delicacies, and then cakes to follow. It was more than enough for the numbers we ordered, even with many going back for more. The service was excellent. A very busy bar was looked after very efficiently by the staff, who were friendly and helpful through the afternoon and evening. No one wants to plan for a wake, but the team at the Ridgeway looked after us beautifully.”

“Stayed here on 08th April as we had family staying local. The atmosphere was amazing there was a comedian on who was hilarious!! The owners Gareth and Tash were absolutely sound! Everyone made us feel welcome and we would 100% go back if we are in Cardiff again. Thanks all for an amazing stay. Charl & Sian x”

“Very friendly staff and great homely little pub”

“Cracking little pub and has turned around from previous visits. Staff are very friendly and even allowing changes to meals as I don't like BBQ sauce so swapped to hot sauce for my hunters chicken. Very good value for money and a reasonable pace for food. Look forward to my next visit”

“Lovely pub with great variety, warm welcome , great service, definitely worth a visit.”

“Me and my family had a lovely visit to the newly refurbished Captains Wife! The food, service and ambiance was all perfect! I would definitely recommend! The roast potatoes were beautifully cooked, I went for the trio and all the meat was so succulent and tasteful! We will definitely be back! Leanne served us and she made us feel so comfortable and made a great fuss of our young daughters! Well done Sam and team we are very impressed and will definitely be back soon! Thank you again!”

“Amazing prices, great beers. Very clean and fabulous black sparkly bar surface, generally a very nice atmosphere. Unfortunately some of the people using this pub do not appreciate the fantastic value for money as this place is better than even Wetherspoons on beer, lager and cider prices, no one comes close to the Bristol house and yet despite being provided a great space outside with ashtrays to smoke and vape, they chuck their fag ends all over the place and it really is a mess. Staff are very hard working and on the rare occasions some people get loud they control situations well and it always feels safe.”

“I've been to the landing light a lot and its always been a nice experience. They've recently changed some of the menu and the baked camembert is huge! Was a pleasant surprise. Staff are always friendly and the food is very nice with good size portions.”

“Lovely little pub to stop in for food. They stop serving at 2.30 then kitchen is open again in the evening I’m presuming. The food option were varied, up to date & really delicious food. Would return and recommend”

“The atmosphere was perfect, food devine and the first class. We completed our walk over Caerphilly Mountain and Trig Point and could see for miles over the Egwysian, Caerphilly, the Bristol Channel, Steel Holm, flat Holm and Cardiff. Loved the walk and the well deserved refreshments at the Travellers Rest”

“This historical Welsh public house has so much rich history. The pub is currently being run to a fantastic standard and is a joy to see punters returning. My only concern is the fight the pub now has with its Brewery owner selling the building with an application for change of use to offices for new owners. This would be short of criminal to Welsh heritage.”

“The member of staff we had served us was pleasant and very friendly. The food was great and our party all enjoyed their meals. The place was clean and tidy. Quiet at the time we visited.”

“What a beautiful little place, it was a hot day and they had air conditioning. Me and my friends went for a evening food and drinks. The service was fantastic and we all had a main and dessert and even for the price the quality of food was excellent and size portion was good. Would definitely would come back again and recommend to anyone”

“Stayed here in my motorhome had electric hook up .the food and drink is amazing and the local people are brilliant and it's reasonable priced their is also a kiddies play area .it's a very clean nice friendly pub .I would highly recommend it . I shall definitely be back again .”

“Monday night karaoke is easily the most friendly place around. You meet friends for life here. You don't even have to sing. It's funny too with music to suit all”

“Great little pub . Great to see it still going. Food delicious and filling”
