Pub · Cardiff
A more relaxed sibling to the bigger O'Neill's in town, this one draws families in for cheap, cheerful pub food and staff who genuinely seem pleased to see you. There's a good mix of high and low tables, so a buggy can usually be parked without blocking anyone, and high chairs and a kids' menu are on hand. Food arrives quickly even when the kitchen's busy — handy when someone's patience is running out. The Notorious P.I.G. and the wings (you pick three sauces) get the most love, and the Irish breakfast is a proper feed with crispy hash browns and perfectly cooked eggs. One parent managed a main and a sticky toffee pudding shared between them for under £10. Outdoor seating helps in warmer weather. Fair warning: the food's decent rather than dazzling, and it can be sleepy midweek.
