Customer Review Summary
Diners most often come for the steak, from the T-bone and porterhouse to a tomahawk and a fillet, with several calling them cooked beautifully and full of flavour. The beef carpaccio is singled out as a standout, and close behind are the crispy squid starter and the fire cooked carrots topped with seeds and fried chickpeas. A surf and turf with monkfish and a butterfly teriyaki steak also get praise. Reviewers repeatedly describe the staff as friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and one server walked a table through the different cuts of meat before they ordered. Wine and cocktails in the adjoining bar earn mentions, and one reviewer notes a live DJ. No real complaints surface, though one reviewer says pre booking gives better seating and a more intimate feel, with outdoor space available. Many are celebrating anniversaries or birthdays, and several close with a personal touch: dessert plates marked Happy Birthday and Happy Retirement, or chocolate brownies with an iced anniversary message.

“One of the best steak experiences I’ve had in a very long time. I had the pleasure of dining at Pasture in Cardiff, and honestly, this place knows beef. The beef carpaccio was an absolute standout — beautifully prepared, incredibly tender, and letting the quality of the beef speak for itself. Simple, elegant, and bloody delicious. But then came the T-bone steak… and this was the moment. Properly cooked, beautifully charred, incredibly juicy, and packed with that deep, beefy flavour you hope for when ordering a great steak. The quality of the meat was outstanding, and the cooking really respected the product. As a chef, I can be pretty critical when it comes to steak, but this one genuinely impressed me. It’s the kind of meal that reminds you why great ingredients, proper technique and good cooking don't need much messing around with. Pasture absolutely nailed it. The carpaccio was fantastic, the T-bone was exceptional, and the whole experience left me already thinking about when I can come back. If you love beef, Pasture is absolutely worth a visit.”

“Absoloutely fantastic from start to finish, friendly staff who provide great, quick service. The food was showstopping, amazing flavours and cooked to perfection. It was a lovely experience for our 20th wedding anniversary. Thank you to your whole team for making it happen.”

“Alexander our server was fabulous. Very attentive on our visit and was very friendly. He brought us two dessert plates one saying Happy Birthday and one Happy Retirement. It meant a lot to us both. We had Butterfly Teryaki steak. We then went to Nightshade. What a fab bar. Daniel our server was lovely and Ethan behind the bar made some awesome cocktails. Thanks everyone for making our evening so special and caring enough to go the extra mile re our celebrations. Ethan gave us a shot to celebrate. I would highly recommend Pasture.”

“Absolutely fantastic service waiters are smiling and in great spirits, really clean and busy place, doesn’t stop service speed, can’t praise waiters and their job quality enough. Food and drinks wooooow worth every penny. I would highly recommend this place, but pre booking would give you better seating but there is plenty outdoor space if looking for enjoying busy streets and beautiful views. You will not regret it. ( by better seats I mean more intimate atmosphere but we still got good table )”
