"Real shame, place itself is spot on but I’ve just been in there at about 6.30pm watching the six nations and a bouncer has literally just assaulted maybe 6-7 people, knocked them down on the floor and spilt their drinks over themselves for no fault of their own. I was smoking a vape outside, which I admit with hine sight I wasn’t aware I was not supposed to be doing when I was approached by an overly aggressive bouncer. I was not drunk myself, I’m still not (same night) I had had 2 pints as I was driving back and explained that I didn’t realise and hadn’t seen the signage, a person in the group of mine came to explain the situation and was dragged out the back of the pub, knocking the aforementioned people over and dragged into an alley way with no cameras. I immediately followed to insure there was witnesses and also people who were knocked down came over aswell. Luckily nothing was done as I think the bouncer realised what he had done. Why should we have to deal with this? Also happy that this was all on camera. Genuinley gutted, ruined mine and potentially more peoples nights and made me not want to go back to a place I regularly go to at no fault of the establishments but then bouncers…"

This is the perfect place to stay if you're attending a cricket match. The room was charming, and both the staff and locals were extremely friendly.

Had a lovely afternoon here today. My dog was as well looked after as I was, with fresh water and some treats brought out for him. Food was also great!

Nice enough pub but quite a few of the menu items were unavailable it was midweek so perhaps better stocked at the weekend. Food was ok. Staff friendly.

We had a lovely time, staff friendly and helpful. Room comfortable and clean. The bar and dinning area was relaxed and a great atmosphere. We will definitely visit again and recommend.

Great atmosphere for quiz night but I wouldn’t eat again on a quiz night, all the meals were over cooked and very unappetising, shame as very nice pub, great location and friendly staff

Good spot to have a drink and a bite to eat while watching sport out the back. Modest portions and a fairly limited selection from the food van at the back. Ample seating and tables out the back

The staff at the Pontcanna Inn were amazing for my brother's wedding. The rooms were clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The staff was friendly, chatty, and made us feel very welcome. It was truly a fantastic weekend. Thank you so much to the Thomas Schewitz family.

Had a lovely afternoon/ evening in this neighbourhood pub. Nice welcome by friendly staff and lots of seating options front garden; hard and soft seating areas inside; and a lovely rear beer garden with awnings and a burger truck. Lots of tvs too for watching sport. The pub had a great vibe with a trendy clientele.

The restaurant itself is nice, but I can't say I would recommend the food. It seems to be on par with microwave-ready meals, yet the prices are quite high for that quality. The drink selection is good and the staff is friendly and helpful. There is a pleasant beer garden both in the front and back of the restaurant, and highchairs are available.

"It was the most bizarre experience dining here. First when we arrived in the restaurant, our group set up was that there was someone on each end who was sitting facing an empty chair on the other side of the table. Upon enquiry we understood it was a covid measure, however never had any other restaurants requesting such seating arrangements in the past 20 months. We ordered two split pots, a non-spicy broth for one side of the pot and a spicy broth for the other side. The staff came to confirm that we wanted spicy/non-spicy in each pot. Yes, we said. To our shock when the pots came, one pot was spicy/spicy on both side, and the other was non-spicy/non-spicy on both sides. This was after the staff had came by to confirm that we wanted a spicy/non-spicy set-up, and in the usual situation a person wanting a spicy broth would not have asked for a split pot. We raised this to the staff and were clearly unhappy about it, though did not insist on having the broths changed around. What happened next made it the most awkward and uncomfortable dining experience ever. From where we were sitting, we could hear the owner reprimanding the staff for the error, throughout our meal. We understand mistakes occur and if the owner was unhappy about the mistake and genuinely wanted to apologise, taking the initiative to change the broth to the right setup, or a complimentary drink or dish would have gone a long way. But no, he chose to reprimand the staff within our hearing for the whole dinner (which didn't help the situation one bit and made the experience worse! . We felt sorry for the staff. Even with the hospitality shortage, that was a completely wrong way to help the staff improve, nor help retain them in the long run. I don't remember anything about the food, although photos did show a good range to choose from. At the end of the meal we each received a box of hello panda, which might have helped, if not for the fact they were expired. All in all, would not recommend."
