Customer Review Summary
Friendly, attentive staff are the draw reviewers raise most, and one server in particular is praised repeatedly for being accommodating and personable even when juggling a busy room. Close behind are large group celebrations: two reviewers describe 60th birthday meals for 22 and 28 people, with food served at the same time and help with splitting the bill. Others mention a Christmas dinner booking with reminders beforehand and plenty of time between courses. Diners call the food tasty and the portions big, with one noting that dishes came out exactly as ordered despite specific tweaks, and another enjoying a vegetarian lunch. A good selection of drinks and a relaxed atmosphere also get mentions, and one reviewer has returned weekly since a first visit. The one caveat comes from a reviewer who found very few staff on during a busy day, though bar service stayed quick. Another recalls a diner at a neighbouring table receiving a lit cake, a birthday song and a hug.

“Fantastic pub with a great atmosphere! The staff were friendly and welcoming, the service was quick, and the food was delicious. There was a great selection of drinks, all reasonably priced, and the place had a warm, relaxed vibe. Perfect for a meal with friends or just a casual drink.

“I had an excellent lunchtime vegetarian meal at the 3Arches pub. The staff are very friendly & welcoming. Service was fast, food served by a smiling waitress, & plates cleared away quickly afterwards. I noticed that it was someone's birthday, & they received a lighted cake🎂 , a happy birthday song & a hug! In these days of offhand poor service, this venue is exceptional. This is a lovely place to visit. I will definitely return, thank you 😊”

“Just to say a big thank you to Abigail & her team for helping me organise my 60th Birthday lunch at Cardiff Three Arches on Friday (3rd July). Abigail's communication was excellent in the run-up to the event & on the day she helped to oversee the meals being served (there were 28 people) & also when it came to splitting / paying the bill. The atmosphere & food was great. Thank you.”

“Always have a great experience when visiting this pub, we recently visited for my dad’s 60th birthday and Abbie could not have been more accommodating! Nothing was too much, meals were out on time and there were 22 of us all eating at same time, great atmosphere, reasonable pricing always and food always up to highest quality. Would 100% recommend family get together here. Thank you so much Abbie for your amazing help in making my dad’s 60th perfect !”
