About The Plymouth Arms
The Plymouth Arms is a pub in Cardiff, with wood panelling, framed pictures and a log fire in the dining area. The room is carpeted throughout, and a bar area serves alongside pub grub. Sunday lunch is served, and table service is provided by waiting staff rather than ordering at the bar. It is walk-in, with no reservations taken. Both kids and dogs are welcome inside, and a beer garden extends the space outdoors.

“Best food we've eaten anywhere in a long time and we eat out a lot! As a family of five we visited for father's day. The food was all delicious...and we can be fussy! Lovely location. Lovely interior. Great service. Thank you!”

“First time visitors, I don’t like going out for a Sunday roast as I know mine are good. I will return time and time again as the roast dinner was AMAZING!! I cleared the plate!! Perfectly cooked veg, roast potatoes that were crispy on the outside but fluffy inside, the meat was really tender and tasty but the star of the meal was the delicious gravy!!! Big big thank you to the manager Adam and his staff for a fantastic meal. Sophie our waitress was the best. Going to have to return as we were too full for puddings xx Thank you for such a lovely meal”

“What a lovely pub, food was fantastic, we had starters and a main meal, I honestly couldn’t fit in a dessert, atmosphere was fab, our waitress Julie was a star, friendly and bubbly, nothing too much trouble, definitely going to go back, highly recommend.”

“I ordered a ceaser salad after waiting at the bar - which had only one person manning it on a Friday evening. For my food I wanted a ceaser salad as a main and as well as a side for my dinner. I missed the bit that said to add chicken to the ceaser salad. But I did this because £16.95 seemed about right for a chicken ceaser salad. Well, I was wrong. It turned up without chicken (which I get I didnt add on). HOWEVER, what annoyed me more was they said a ceaser salad was some baby gem lettuce with cucumber, little bit of cheese and dressing. For almost £17!! You’d think they’d put some croutons or anchovies on it to spruce it up. I was expected to pay £17 for something that cost £1 to make. Disappointing.”

Customer Review Summary
Sunday roast draws the most praise, with one diner calling out crispy-outside, fluffy-inside roast potatoes, tender meat, perfectly cooked veg and gravy as the star of the meal. Close behind are the friendly, helpful staff, with servers described as welcoming and bubbly, and food reviewers call tasty and generous. Reviewers also mention the log fire, the cosy dining area, the beer garden when the sun is out, and that the pub is kid and dog friendly. One motorhome visitor stopped over for a few beers and a meal on a cold, blustery night. The criticism is limited but specific. One reviewer found a caesar salad main of baby gem lettuce, cucumber, a little cheese and dressing, with no croutons or anchovies, disappointing for the price, and had waited at a bar with one person serving on a Friday evening. Another finds it less nice for dinner than lunch and misses the brunch. A couple of diners say they were too full for puddings.
