The Cardiff Arms Cilgerran

I visited on September 25, 2023. The owner was very friendly, and the pub was clean, organized, and inviting. We tried a pint of Guinness and white wine, and the Guinness was outstanding. I highly recommend visiting this pub.

I'm a bit confused about all the positive reviews here (indeed we decided to eat here on the basis of the reviews). I don't enjoy writing negative reviews but this was not a food pub at all. We visited on a Sunday. There was no...menu and we were told there was only a choice of either roast beef or roast chicken. Nothing else was being served. The meat was ok but the vegetables tasted either over cooked or as if from a frozen bag. The bartender was not particularly friendly or welcoming and he didn't seem happy that we were ordering food at all. Admittedly we had not booked but were asked to come back an hour later despite the pub being fairly empty both when we first arrived and when we came back. The pub itself is pretty run down and not a very nice environment. It wasn't terrible but definitely worse than simply unexceptional.

We stopped by Cardiff Arms for a cup of tea after exploring the castle. They were serving lunch but were happy to accommodate us with just drinks. The staff was really friendly. Thank you very much.

Called in for lunch after a rainy visit to the castle! The food was faultless. kids chicken goujons were pieces of breast and lovely, vegetable lasagne was divine, homemade tomato soup perfect and the bacon egg and chips delicious!!! Would recommend without question!!! Definitely...worth the visit!!

My family and I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The staff was very welcoming and the food was fantastic. We all enjoyed our starters, mains, and desserts. I highly recommend visiting this place, you won't be disappointed. The pub has a great atmosphere and provides a warm welcome.
