Booking ahead is the easy route here, and worth doing — this is a proper sit-down Cardiff dining room rather than a rush-in-and-out place, so it suits a slower family lunch than a frazzled one. The welcome is genuinely warm, staff are attentive without hovering, and the Sunday roast is the safe bet with children in tow: generous veg, cauliflower cheese, a Yorkshire pudding, and portions big enough that little ones can share. The parsnip and ginger soup and Welsh rarebit are both loved starters, the eight-hour lamb shoulder gets the loudest praise, and there's a raspberry sorbet for a gentle finish. High chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access, vegan options and outdoor seating are all here. It's pricey, and the belly pork divides opinion — one parent found it beautifully cooked but bland.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
Ten-course tasting menus at surprisingly gentle prices, with patient staff, high chairs and buggy access — book ahead, and bring children who'll sit.
Smart Cardiff city-centre spot with a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, plus food — and staff — parents genuinely rave about.
