About Sand Martin

A big Wetherspoons-style pub on the edge of Cardiff, with free parking and outdoor seating that makes the pram question easy. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, and families report the mac and cheese with popcorn chicken goes down well enough that children ask for it again; roast dinners get cleared plates too. Food usually arrives hot and reasonably quick — around half an hour at busier brunch times — and the staff are generally patient, one large group of thirty praising how they handled repeated order changes. Vegetarian choice is thin. It's worth knowing the kitchen can be inconsistent, and the music sometimes runs loud even when it's quiet. Evenings can feel more bar than restaurant, with a rowdier edge from about six, so lunchtime is the better bet with children.
