The Potted Pig

If you want to avoid the typical tourist trap restaurants in the centre of Cardiff, then this just might be the place for you. The exterior looks a bit grim and doesn’t have a lot of signage, but the reviews are enough to get us to go in and we didn’t regret our decision. Cat was a great server and had wonderful suggestions – I especially enjoyed my seaweed gin. This is one of those restaurants where even if I’m in the city just for a week I’ll likely go back more than once. It gets my highest recommendation.

We were wowed with the food and service at The Potted Pig! The wow especially from the pork tenderloin dish that was both scrumptious and noisy. What we thought might be sizzling from the pork cheek was intact from the pop-rocks exploding atop the spinach. It nit only added a bit of fun but zing as well. The Welsh rarebit and Potted Pig firsts were yummy while we were delighted with the smoked chicken risotto. Service was attentive without disruptive from our young, blond, female server (forgot her name so sorry). Please see the attached pictures of our mains. Presentation was impressive.

We just had a fantastic dinner here 11/06/22. Friendly staff, the 2 guys hosting at the entrance and lovely waitress who served us. A rare occurrence for us to make it out without the kids in tow and we are so glad we came here. The food was brilliant. Potted Pig starter and Duck breast & duck leg rosti main both exceptionally tasty. Very pleasant cocktails and cremant too! Thank You so much for a lovely experience. Hopefully be back soon!

It was absolutely a great Welsh Michelin star dining experience here. Paid for just £25 for 3 course set, with the signature potted pig and beef brisket.

The potted pig is just gracious, with really mixture of flavour, and truly delicious. Highly recommend if you are visiting Cardiff.

Ordered potted pig for starter, lamb and steak for main plus 2 cocktails. The service is great, staffs are welcoming but the food wasn’t as good as I expected for this price. The starter is fine nothing really special. I picked rare for the steak, the texture is good but it is too salty. The lamb was not bad but it is less in flavor.

Loved the food, loved the atmosphere, everything about this place is great. I was having a hard time getting a good martini in the UK and Potted Pig delivered. The staff was also super sweet and gave us some bar recommendations for our night out in Cardiff.

A little gem close to the Castle.

We entered into the Potted Pig without much expectations only to be blown out of the water. The short walk downstairs rewarded us with a tasteful ambiance that maybe could do with a slightly brighter lightning.

The menu is well presented and has a fizzy twist to it: every single recipe has been expertly retouched by the chef with a little twang.

We opted for Welsh dishes and were not disappointed at all. Both the lamb and the pork were perfect cooked and had something surprising both in the presentation and the taste. The lamb was delicate and accompanied with a redcurrant sauce that simply made it excellent. I strongly reccomend it together with the Rarebit!

Absolutely delicious and amazing food. I felt like such a tasty meal not in the UK, but somewhere in France haha soooo tender meat and unbelievable combination of ingredients with amazing presentation. The waitress was extremely friendly and helpful and provided the highest level of service.
The interior was cozy but some parts were a bit strange for me, but the food and service made it the most!!!
Definitely will come back and if I could, I’d give 10 stars!!!
