  “I came to Cardiff for a few days, and came here for my evening meal each night. It's a nice friendly place. Food prices are very reasonable, and the food itself is really nice! I enjoyed every single thing I ordered. It was lovely. Simple but pleasant. The staff are friendly. If I visit Cardiff again, I will definitely be coming back here. Would definitely recommend. 😊”

  “The Four Elms has a very nice beer garden and that’s about it. After asking for an allergen menu (a legal requirement) I was told that not one item on the menu was gluten free. I explained that I am not celiac so cross contamination/shared fryers weren’t an issue but was dismissed quickly. I then had to discern for myself which foods I could eat. I ordered their dirty fries which was honestly one of the most horrific meals I’ve ever eaten. To top this off my glass of wine was dusty and so had bits in my mouth. Such a shame as this pub has lots of potential.”

  “The worst Philly Cheese Steak I have ever eating in my life. 10 pounds for this... Raw onion and the steak was not well done, it was congratulations!! Awful food.”

  “Good selection of beers and ciders. Pub food is solid. I was only around for 3 nights but ended up going twice. Second time there was football on the TV which isn't my thing but no big deal. Would go back.”

  “Great atmosphere especially on match days. Plenty of screens and a fantastic selection of beers including craft ale in a can fridge. Over 18s only. Did not eat food but seems like decent selection of standard pub fare.”

  “Our first meal in Wales. Great looking old pub. Nice cold beer, Food, very average, Welsh Rarebit was something they should be ashamed of serving for 5 pound soggy brown bread with gluey brown spread. Ham steak incredibly salty, Lamb tough and dry.”

  “This pub was close to our Bed and Breakfast place. The food and drinks were good & reasonably priced. It was our first dinner in Wales and we enjoyed our experience. The ambiance in the pub was nice.”

  “A typical pub with a classic selection of drinks and food. In addition to the down-to-earth cuisine, the vegetarian and vegan options and non-alcoholic Guinness are particularly noteworthy. The wide range of music, from country and pop to heavy metal, contributes to the pleasant atmosphere, as does the friendly staff. Highly recommended!”

  “This is a pretty big place, with multiple areas to choose from - there's a cozy area by the bar, an open and a closed one skirting the beer garden, and the beer garden itself. The food served is surprisingly good and the on-tap drinks options uncommonly varied. Four Elms seems to be mainly frequented by locals, giving it a great unique charm and ambience. Sporting events are always screened with a baffling amount of available TVs to enjoy the events on (15+). There's no table service, although the food is brought to the table once ready, but the bar staff is fast and always nice. Highly recommended. Edit 2024: Stable quality, same experience.”

  “We went for lunch on a sunny autumn day and the beer garden is awesome. The service was good and safe. There is a great selection of beers and ciders. We ate burger, too dry for our taste but the chips were good.”
