Lovely restaurant hidden underground on the main road, I went there as the reviews were promising and I must say it didn't disappoint. The food is great, trout pate, duck breast and pork bell were out of this world for the price, so definitely good value. Service was fine until the main course, after that our waiter seemed to have... More

We arrived 5 minutes before our booked time and were ushered straight away to our table which was in a dim corner (which was fine)... More

The Potted pig is a welcoming place and the food is good. The varieties of gin were impressive so I had to sample a few!! The menu is not as varied as I would have liked but what was there was good. I had the braised ox cheek and it was lovely. Will try it again for the sucking pig... More

We went here for a team lunch. It was a great venue, we had a round table so it was easy to chat to everyone. Couldn't fault the food or the service!

Went here for a second time with a group of friends, we all really enjoyed our food. But found the staff very hit and miss, this has happened both times. At the start of the meal they are very helpful and attendant, but by the time we are ready for another round of drinks they seem to vanish and often... More

Went here for a friend's 30th, the food was great and the service up to and including this was fine. However, once food was eaten, the group wanted a few G&T's. The bar couldn't cope with this and neither could the manager, who, after we had spent a few hundred £'s, advised there was a good bar down the road.... More

Three of us had a superb lunch at The Potted Pig in Cardiff. I could not resist the starter of potted pig and my companions both had excellent kedgeree. To follow we had roast chicken and belly pork. The pork was the best I had ever tasted and was without the usual thick strip of fat that often spoils this... More

I was somewhat tentative of bringing my partner there this week (Tues 7th May) after visiting for lunch over Bank Holiday weekend. The food was absolutely wonderful...cockles and bacon on toast with laver bread...and the pulled pork sandwich...not for the fainthearted!!! Like I said-food excellent, some really amazing skills there...HOWEVER-completely let down by the dismissive and too cool for school... More

For less than £20 a head for 2 courses and drinks this was incredible. I still dream about this meal. Nothing will ever compare to it. My only slight criticism was the ambience wasn't what I expected, but I suppose it's expected for Sunday lunch. Tip - have the sticky toffee pudding. Wow.

Our fault for turning up 10 mins late for a table booked at 6.30 when the restaurant was empty! When booking we had asked for the table for the evening as we wanted to enjoy the gin menu throughout the evening. On arrival we were told that we had to go straight to our table as otherwise we would miss... More
