I do not intend to describe what I had to eat at the Potted Pig, rather than to just say that if you are in Cardiff, EAT HERE. The food is just fantastic, wine choice outstanding and service first class. The restaurant is known to be a good eatery in Cardiff as demonstrated by the fact that you have to... More

I made a reservation at the restaurant for my father and myself whilst our other halves were attending a concert. What a great find hidden in the cellar of the building it has a great feel and ambiance. Right from the outset the staff were attentive but not invasive, they demonstrated excellent knowledge of the menu and wine list, a... More

Recently visited here while in Cardiff on business following a recommendation from a Cardiff resident. I hadnt seen or heard of it from previous visits which is no surprise as its hidden away under Zizzi's with a small entrance thats easy to miss. I found the restaurant itself had a cosy feel due it being an old bank vault and... More

First of all booking is a must. The food was good, however too salty for my taste, which slightly took away from the experience, however a lovely place. We had the ham hock, says just enough for two on the menu but would do for 3 or even 4! and for the price it was amazing, you would pay nearly... More

Great service, lovely food. Can have a splash out evening or eat for a very reasonable price - unusual for this to be the case. Good variety - meat, fish,vegetarian. Highly recommend

Althrough warm as a result the setting is still pleasent. For starter I had the fish and mussy peas which I found to be rather dull and very dry. However the Lamb... More

My Partner Sarah and I paid The Potted Pig a second visit on Saturday just gone for lunch, and we have to say, more of the same!!!! It took me 12-15 minutes to actually get through on Thursday evening when I booked the reservation, the line was continually busy, when I eventually got through, the wonderful Alex took our reservation...

Bad start, not a very warm welcome, no help in trying to get a larger table (the place was fully booked, which we totally understand, but our request was dealt with very sternly) but good food and very good value. Service was good, though. Lovely home-made biscuit with coffee.
