About Pen & Wig

Tucked away down a Cardiff side street, this traditional pub turns out to be an easy one with children in tow — buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu, free parking and a few outdoor tables for when someone needs air. Most of the week it's quiet and relaxed enough to actually hear each other, and food comes out fast even when the place is heaving after a big city event. The Sunday roast is the thing people come back for: turkey that isn't dry, proper gravy, and refillable Yorkshires, potatoes and gravy on top of portions already too big to finish. Wednesday's pie-and-a-drink deal is good value, the butternut squash ravioli keeps vegetarians happy, and the chunky fries and onion rings disappear fast. It gets crowded at weekends, so book ahead.
