Most Disliked
Some visitors mention that wait times can be longer during peak hours, especially on Saturdays. While this reflects the bar's popularity, it might not suit those in a hurry. Additionally, a few reviews indicate that while the selection is impressive, some might find the menu overwhelming due to its variety. A couple of patrons have pointed out that during lunch rushes, seating can fill quickly, making it a challenge for groups to find a spot to dine in. Clearly, with such a dedicated fanbase, the trade-off for great food can sometimes mean a bit of a wait.

Last Saturday ordered some fish and chips which were delivered from the Maelfa Fish Bar. I have to say this was the best fish and chips I think I've ever eaten. The batter was just right, not too hard and crunchy and not soft or soggy, and way more fish than batter. And their chips are by far the best in Cardiff. This fish shop delivery service was an absolute God send during lockdown for our family, and continues to provide exceptional service. Whether I just pop in to get a bag of chips at lunchtime or order a takeaway to be delivered at the weekend, their customer service is always so welcoming, friendly and they can never do enough to accommodate. Would highly recommend! :-)

I bought chicken burger meal, love it every bit of it , so tasty and I’m not fan of fast foods, but after working long hours wanted something fast, but I didn’t expect this being so tasty , big portions, big burger and so fresh chicken, chips not of this world . I think those guys can turn vegans into loving their chicken. Fully recommend this place , very friendly and professional staff. Well done !!
