Black Lion

I have been to the Black Lion a number of times and it is a great local pub and I will definitely visit again. This visit was just a bit difficult as there were quite a few very loud groups inside and no seating. We sat outside with the smokers and it was chilly and smoky! Just one of those days.

Lovely looking place on the outside, but lack-luster food and impersonal service on the inside. My husband and I both ordered the Roast Beef. I sent mine back when I found a ball of stuffing under the turkey thinking they’d made a mistake - turns out it actually was thinly sliced roast beef all along which had acquired some stuffing and two pigs in blanket along the way. Guess I should be grateful for the freebies - Someone pass the salt and pepper please.

Was an excellent pub famous for its shove halfpenny and bar skittles. Had to search for a clean table for 4 even though not busy. Found one and sat down then asked to move to a other table to keep that side of the room clean! So sent back to have our drinks from a choice covered in slopes.. I used to drink here with dad..nursing staff from Rookwood Hospital used to collect wheel chair patients and push them back up the hill on closing....wont be back

A Brains pub in a traditional setting with a mock Tudor exterior, located on the outskirts of Cardiff. Cheap ales on tap with food served until early evening.

Great pub with great tradition. Beer slection good but it was very cold in there. Staff were friendly

Great place, the service was amazing and friendly. The food took time but was more than worth it, portions were good as well and the prices are very reasonable. Cosy and charming ambience.
Their beer glaze sauce is to die for!

Had a lovely afternoon here on Xmas eve. Staff have been working tirelessly to keep on top of demand. Great atmosphere, busy but not raucous.

In the outside, there is a menu that advertises beef pie; in the inside, when you order it, they only have chicken pie. So disappointing.
