  “Lamb was dry but they gave more gravy which helped, Cockles were really good, dessert was good as well. The customer service was good, they took the dessert price off the bill because of the long wait and dry lamb.”

  “My husband and I are from the States and Sunday Roasts are our favorite thing when visiting. We were not disappointed this go around. The beef and pork belly were cooked to perfection, as well as the steamed veggies, potatoes and cheesy cauliflower. The sticky toffee pudding was absolutely delightful. The pudding is tied for #1 for us compared to a restaurant in Oxford. The atmosphere was lovely, the service great, and prices reasonable. Sad to be leaving, otherwise we'd go again this Sunday.”

  “The Potted Pig is an experience that should not be missed when one is in Cardiff. Based out of an old Bank vault, one descends a few stairs and leaves all the woes of the world at pavement level. The twinkling lines and whimsical pigs along with an understated elegance, invite one to simply breathe….. The food was superb and the service first class. We at vegetarian ravioli and chicken piccata and both dishes were excellent. The two or three course menu options make a meal interesting, and the choices were good. The toilet doors elicited a chuckle as Mona Lisa has never looked so useful….maybe this is why she is smiling? When in Cardiff go and eat at the Potted Pig and you will not be disappointed.”

  “We had a lush afternoon here yesterday, we booked for Sunday lunch & the vibe was amazing. Perfect lighting & a cozy cool atmosphere. At first we were sat in a room to the left of the bar but it was echoing too much for my ears so I requested to relocate, the manager kindly & promptly moved us to a better table which was much appreciated. We had the Sunday lunch menu which was delicious. The arancini to start was so tasty I was gutted I was sharing & my lamb was lovely. I like how generous the veg for the table was with the roasts & the desserts were lovely too. I’m definitely looking forward to trying the rest of the à la carte menu. Oh and The spicy margaritas were beautiful too & Our server Flea was truly fantastic. Will certainly be returning & recommending :)”

  “Staff is very attentive, the restaurant itself is lovely but I was disappointed about the food - it was good but not what you would expect with regard to price/offer. I’m not saying it was bad but it simply did not meet expectations. We ordered two starters - ox cheek croquettes and potted pig - they were simply fine. And as a main the brisket”

  “What a place. I marked it on my google maps by accident really. Watched a culinary program on tv and a bloke from Canada went there to try their food. I thought "Im going to Wales in two weeks, I might pop in there if im in Cardiff". Long story short, I went to Cardiff just to go there on my missus' birthday as a treat for her. Did not realise it had a Michelin star until i got there, missed it in a program. Starters did not impress me much, they were good, dont get me wrong, but the main knocked me out! I had a lamb shoulder, slowly cooked for 8 hours. What a delight, the meat was falling apart and melting in your mouth. The best lamb i had in my life so far, totaly recomend it. I had shivers while eating it, first time it happened to me when having a meal. Missus had a duck, not as good as mine, but best duck we tried so far as well. Staff was very pleasant. Even gave us a little discount, because they were short of fresh ingredients on bank holiday and couldnt give us a set menu deal they advertised outside on the board. The building looks great, inside as well and it had a very warm and welcoming feeling. Great culinary experience.”

  “I had an amazing dinner experience at The Potted Pig. The place is beautiful, cozy, and has a very fancy atmosphere while still feeling welcoming and comfortable. Emma, my waitress, was incredibly attentive throughout the entire evening. She constantly checked in to make sure everything was okay and truly made the experience feel special with her kindness and professionalism. The drinks were excellent. I had a prosecco to accompany dinner, which was very refreshing and perfectly balanced. I also ordered a Negroni one of my favorite cocktails and honestly one that is very difficult to find properly made. This one was very well prepared and definitely exceeded my expectations. As a starter, I had the Welsh rarebit, which was incredibly cheesy with deep and rich flavors. It was the perfect way to open the appetite before the main course. For the main dish, I had the pork belly, and it was simply exquisite. It was cooked perfectly and had an excellent combination of textures that made every bite enjoyable. To finish the dinner, I had the tiramisu, and I honestly could not stop eating it because it was so good. The perfect ending to an already incredible meal. Overall, this is an excellent place for an elegant dinner, whether with very good company or even by yourself. The atmosphere, food, drinks, and service made it a truly memorable experience.”

  “Great food and atmosphere! I had the potted pig (deceptively filling portion) and the lamb special; both were fantastic. The downstairs space is very cozy and well-decorated. Service was a bit slow toward the end, meaning I had to skip dessert to make my next commitment. That said, the staff was great early on, so this seemed like an uncharacteristic hiccup rather than a trend.”
