About The Unicorn Inn

A proper old pub with low ceilings and a spotless, roomy feel inside — easy to get a buggy through, high chairs ready, and a beer garden that comes into its own on a warm afternoon. The Sunday roast is the thing to come for: hot, generous, around £14, and people who work their way through Cardiff's roasts rate this one highly. Two mains off the menu for £20 is decent value at this price. Toilets are clean with big cubicles, which matters when you're changing a nappy in there. Two honest snags: the side car park fills up fast, so arrive early or be ready to hunt for a space, and the kitchen shuts earlier than you'd expect in the evening — worth checking before a late family dinner. There's no online booking, so ring ahead.
