This is a fantastic place to begin or end a trip around the Museum of Welsh Life, which has it's castle entrance just across the way. When the weather is bright, then this little pocket of picturesque Cardiff tends to fill up with people like ants coming out of an anthill. But even when very busy, the Plymouth Arms retains a very relaxed atmosphere due to its spacious and neat garden layout and particularly homely and well-decorated inside. This pub is certainly NOT a Weatherspoons. The waiting and bar staff wear crisp white shirts and ties, and the food on the menu is a little more along the lines of venison steaks, rather than beef burgers. This is an ideal place to spend a slightly more classy afternoon (although don't get me wrong, anyone is welcome here!)

A friend and I visited The Travellers Rest for dinner whilst spending a long weekend in Wales and,…read morewe enjoyed the food so much that we ended up going there twice! The service was a little slow, but not because the staff were inattentive; they were very busy. On both occasions, we felt that there were not enough servers to easily accommodate the diners. However, the food was worth the wait. It was not gourmet, but our meals were very tasty and well-presented. We would most definitely dine there again if we were in the area. Thank you to the busy staff. (Management: maybe another server or two?)

Winterstream Farm greeted us enthusiastically, served us in good time with delicious food, despite how busy it was when we turned up around 6pm. The staff were friendly and polite- a completely different experience to the one we had at the place we booked previously. Plus they didn't lie to their customers, which is always a bonus(!) Thank you! For the last minute rescue after we had called several other places who were unable to accommodate us at such short notice! 10/10 ~~~ Original experience: Mum booked a table for a party of 12 around lunchtime for Brimsham Park. She received a confirmation email that it had been booked for 5:30pm. On arrival, our party of 12 was told that they were short staffed and could not serve us food. When the manager was asked for, we were told that he was busy in the kitchen and could not speak with us. On our return home, it was discovered through a Facebook post, that the restaurant had refused service to other customers, citing that they were busy due to a party of 12 arriving. Presuming that party was us, and we didn't receive ANY service, just excuses, it appears they were lying to other customers and blaming us for it. Don't go here- it's no wonder they are short staffed if they treat their staff anything like their customers.

Halfway through my trip, I realized that I still had not had proper fish and chips. When coming to…read moreHenry's, the thing that drew us, was the hamburger on the window ad. However, I ended up eating fish and chips. The ambiance is great here. It's nice and roomy, and smells good. We sat ourselves, at the request of a server. Once seated, we were brought menu sand were able to look at its expanse. My friend had the chicken sandwich and french fries. Another friend had cappuccino. I had the fish and chips. We all declared our food to be good--but they can keep those peas. I asked for lemonade. This definition is apparently different in Wales v America. I was given a Sprite with lemon. Welsh hospitality capped it off.

The decor looked nice enough, but the lasagne I ordered had most likely been under a heat lamp and was dry and crunchy on the edges and mushy on the inside by the time it got to me. I am not from the area and based on this server. I definitely wasn't welcomed, which had me wondering why the people in Cardiff seemed unhappy. Luckily, I met other people later who were much better ambassadors for the town. I was dining alone, but 12 minutes after I received my food, the server asked if I was finished. When I said no, she returned 5 minutes later with the same question. There were other patrons at other tables so I'm not sure why I was being rushed. Within 23 minutes after arriving, I decided to leave as I'd been asked now, three times if I was finished. There was no question about refilling my drink or ordering another. Like I said, I wish I would have waited for dinner or just gone somewhere else.

It was an excellent tasty dinner in an old Welsh pub. The staff was super staff and cheerful. There was a great selection for dinner.

The emphasis is definitely on classy, with smart decor, high quality food, and premium drinks such as Champagnes, good bottled beers, and high-end non-alcoholic drinks such as elderflower presse and fair trade coffees. Most of the core clientele are suited and booted, and mainly a little older, but you do get some younger and less formal people, and I've eaten lunch there a couple of times (minus any sign of a suit). They do a nice halloumi dish with Mediterranean vegetables,and their bruschetta is lovely too. Their outside seating area, with wooden slatted tables and chairs, is justifiably popular on sunny days amongst those who know about it. To find this bar, look out for the church on Windsor Place and it's right next door.

Additionally there is something on the menu to suit any appetite. When I'm after a light meal I generally go for one of their filled breads, the gorgonzola with caramelized walnuts is particularly scrumptious. If in need of something more substantial I'd definitely recommend the pan fried king prawns which come with chips and a salad (good value for £9.95). The only slight niggle I have is that for those unfamiliar with 33 it is often unclear whether or not you should wait to be seated (you don't need to). What's further confusing is that it is actually table service, though staff can be rather slow so I often find it easier to just pay and order at the bar. Don't let any of that put you off though, 33 is well worth a visit, and I'm sure that you like me will just keep coming back!
