"I chose to dine at this restaurant as a regular customer. I made a reservation for a table for two at 1:30pm for my birthday. We were seated at 1:15pm and given the menu right away. Unfortunately, when we tried to order, about 6 items of food we wanted were not available. As a result, we ended up choosing pizzas. It seemed like there was either insufficient stock or high demand for certain items on that day. It would have been helpful to have a backup plan in place for situations like this. I wonder how other customers who came in later or in the evening were affected by this issue. Overall, I was not satisfied with the availability of the food options on this occasion, although everything else about the experience was up to the usual standard."

"Unfortunately, we were seated at a table in the lobby, which resulted in a chilly draft every time the door opened for staff or other diners. While this was not the most comfortable location, I assume the restaurant was trying to accommodate as many customers as possible while following social distancing guidelines. I was disappointed by the lack of Covid awareness at the restaurant. We were not prompted to sanitize our hands at any point, despite the NHS app check-in being conveniently located right next to our table. Throughout our two-hour visit (service was quite slow), not a single staff member mentioned the app or encouraged customers to use it. It is important to remember that the pandemic is still ongoing and safety measures like sanitizing and contact tracing should be a priority. I would like to thank the waiter with the colorful waistcoat who served us for including a thoughtful "happy birthday" message on my friend's dessert slate. It was a special touch that was appreciated."

"We used to frequent this pub often in the past, but heard that it had changed ownership, so we decided to meet our friends here. We were excited to catch up with friends we hadn't seen in a while. However, when we arrived, my husband inquired about their ale selection and was informed they only had Harveys with no other options. The server who brought our drinks had dirty fingernails, which was off-putting. When it came time to order food, one of our friends asked about a Christmas menu and was told it needed to be pre-ordered, as stated on their website. Despite our frequent visits in the past, we had not checked the website. The food was tasty, but the service was lacking. We had to request drinks and were not asked about our meals once they arrived. At 9:40, a lady approached us with the bill and informed us they were closing soon. When we asked for another drink, we were denied. My husband requested to remove the service charge, which caused some tension with the lady taking payment. She questioned why he wouldn't pay it, stating that everyone charges it, which we found rude. Overall, the poor service has discouraged us from returning or recommending the pub to others, despite the delicious food. It's disappointing, as we had hoped the new management would focus on attracting and retaining customers."

"Nice restaurant with friendly staff who were happy to veganise the vegetarian burger for me. Aware that the brioche bun needed changing so offered a wholemeal gluten free bun instead. Served with a avocado/cucumber/lettuce side salad. There are a few vegan options, an ancient grain bowl and a butternut squash stew. The focaccia with olive and hummus starter was delicious."

"We use this restaurant as all the local takeaways are not very good. We just had a basic set menu and it was very tasty, Chicken Sweetcorn Soup, Duck and Pancakes, Sweet Sour Pork, Sizzling Chicken and a prawn dish, Rice and Vegetables a couple of beers and a very enjoyable evening. A shame that it is closing down soon as we now need to find a replacement"

"Extortionately overpriced for basic pub grub, plus poor service and no allergen menu. First of all, my wife and I regularly frequent very high end establishments. This isn’t what you would expect at this price point. The location is beautiful, the staff are well dressed and courteous, however, the decor on the wild carrot is tired and the food is 50/50… read on… On arrival we were seated at a dark table with no view, when there were plenty of nicer tables it was quite quiet . We shortly asked to move which was a waste of of our time. My wife has an egg allergy and was horrified to discover they had no allergen menu they could share with us, plus the two waiters said they had no idea about allergens so had to check with the chefs each time, which made us nervous. I’m fairness the cocktails were good. The Wild Carrot starter, which was meant to have rainbow radishes and crudités was a £0.75p £1 bag of mixed leaf salad you’d get in a supermarket with some cherry tomatoes and sliced carrot, no radish. The fish and chips had thick undercooked doughy batter and they hadn’t removed the skin on the fish. The chips were supermarket chunky McCains type frozen chips and undercooked. For £28 I expect far, far better. This was more £18 pub grub at best. My mushroom toast was excellent and the mushroom pasta was also good but the side of fries for which I didn’t ask the cost was £8 !! they were limp and flavourless, essentially KFC/McDonalds level when not fresh, small portion too. My wife left about 30 40% of her food it was so bad, I ate mine as I’m more stubborn, but in hindsight, it really wasn’t worth the money as experiences of that price point should be equal, certainly not compatible to pubs and takeouts. The correct cutlery wasn’t laid out and our water wasn’t topped up once. To make matters worse, they added 15% to the bill but didn’t bring the itemised bill, just put the total on the card machine and brought that, at this point we just paid up and made for the exit. A totally embarrassing set up with incompetent staff and horrendous poor quality produce and cooking. Felt like daylight robbery and ruined our day. Read the other reviews, there’s a running theme for being overpriced and disappointing here and it’s letting what looks to be a very nice hotel down. Everything needs changing here except the cocktails and the mushroom toast starter. Also, other reviews are correct, wild kids everywhere, no wild carrots in sight. AVOID."

"So we moved near here but due to lockdown spent months imagining what it's like. Now we've been a few times, great pub, lovely decor inside and great atmosphere. Reasonably priced for most drinks, and the burgers are great. They're not the fat juicy burgers I normally see, it was more reminiscent of a bbq burger and it was a nice change. Loved the smokiness of the patty."

"This restaurant is excellent. The dishes I have tried are beautifully presented, generous in portion size, and delicious. It is clear that a lot of care goes into creating the food and designing the menu. The chefs must be very skilled. I particularly enjoyed the fish dishes and the fantastic rice. The desserts and cocktails are also top-notch and crafted with skill. The restaurant has a spacious and stylish ambiance with beautiful lighting. The staff is friendly and attentive. The prices are very reasonable compared to other kosher restaurants, making it a great place to enjoy a wonderful meal. Overall, a fantastic dining experience."

"Our experience at the restaurant was good, but it was slightly spoiled by a family with two young children who were loud, walking around, and not well disciplined by their parents. We had chosen to dine here instead of going to the local Wetherspoons in order to celebrate my wife's birthday in a peaceful setting. Despite mentioning my wife's birthday when booking the table, it was unfortunately not acknowledged during our visit."

"we went to the kings head to celebrate my man birthday. we booked in advance and at first the things were not too bad, but after ordering the food everything went up to the hill! we arrived at 7.30 and at 8.30 we waited for the appetizer I ordered did not indicate that it sits on mayonnaise, so when it arrives, I sent it back because I mayonnaise did not eat. I was then told that another starter would last 10 minutes, so I didn't tell them to worry, and I would stick to it at the top of it myself, a minute later our waitress came with my new starter, which was actually the original that she had just moved to another plate and tried to point out the mayonnaise that it had on her! Therefore I told them that I didn't want it, and hour later our net arrived, which my friends was completely cold and very dry, so it was sent away, they removed net from the bill and told us that a big table they had had caused chaos that affected all the others in the restaurant! would not go back."

"A great pub with good food at reasonable prices (for current food costs anyway! and a massive kid and dog friendly garden. For a weekday lunchtime it was very quiet, presumably due to its quiet village location they really deserve more custom. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, and didn't seem at all fazed by a couple of sweaty walkers wandering in! The food was very good quality, with filling portion sizes. I'd highlight, of all things, the fat fries that were exceptional (like triple cooked chips . The only negative IMO was leaving the skin on the battered fish, which personally I don't like since it doesn't crisp up and stays somewhat slimy. Overall though, a really nice pub."

"9 minutes agoNEW I like this pub but was disappointed on Friday, I had fish and chips and found a couple of bones in it, I told the young asian lady and a gentleman, I think he was head barman, neither of these people seemed...interested and there was no attempt at an apology. These bones could have lodged in my throat and my life could have been in danger, very disappointed ."

"First time I visited this pub and never again. I drink Stella and when I went in for my second pint the bar lady advised me that she had no Stella glasses left. I offered her to use my previous Stella glass, but I was told abruptly that this was not allowed due to covid restrictions date today when I visited this pub was 14/06/2023 (I WOULD SAY IT WAS DUE TO NOBODY COLLECTING THE 100 EMPTY GLASSES LEFT ON TABLES OUTSIDE, WHICH WAS THE REAL REASON THERE WERE NO STELLA GLASSES IN THE BAR) but they allowed glasses to be taken out in to the beer garden instead of plastics. The Bar staff were very rude and over all no customer service, and they didn't really look happy in their jobs. For a pub in a well off area of Cardiff, it's very poor and not very welcoming at all. You would get better service and more friendly staff in the local weatherspoons down the road for half the price. Never again I would also like to state the atmosphere in and outside the pub is very intimidating and not somewhere you would go on either a date or a family occasion. Definitely not a place I would want to take my children."

"Attended a work event here. The space we were allocated on the first floor was so loud that somebody's Apple watch was giving a hearing loss warning. Bar staff were pretty rude, even shoving customers aside to get by. The outside balcony is quite nice but honestly I don't want to go back here."

"Despite arriving 30 minutes early, we were seated immediately, and our drinks came out very quickly. I was impressed by the variety on the Sunday menu. We each ordered different roast dishes, and they were all outstanding. I tried the triple platter featuring beef, pork, and turkey. The vegetables were excellent too—at least three varieties among our group of five! The dessert selection was fantastic; I could have chosen at least three options. I ended up going with the apple and rhubarb crumble accompanied by hot custard to round off my meal. It was great value too, coming in at around £28 per person, which included two pints. And let's not forget the friendly and attentive staff!"
