Restaurants near Cow Castle

Great service & superb food, all served by friendly staff

What an experience, travelled over to Cardiff from Bristol just for this. First time for my wife and I and we were not disappointed. The food and atmosphere etc were amazing. The only thing that let it down was we seemed to be rushed. We savored our "small plates" meal and as soon as we finished them, our main courses were delivered even before our table had been cleared of our "small plates". I know this was a small thing, but it did detract a bit from our experience, hence not giving a full 5 star review across the board.

I had intended to book the restaurant next door: The Ivy Asia. But I accidentally booked this place. Fantastic! So glad I did. They do a very good Bang Bang Chicken starter at The Ivy motherhouse in London but the Bang Bang Chicken skewers I had here were even better. We dined at the counter and had the most excellent service, fantastic food, and splendid wines and cocktails. The music was a bit weird but, otherwise, great night.

Hi we had a lovely first time experience at The Ivy last night our only gripe was that our waiter was just too overbearing. He came and took our two plates away when my friend was still eating and that made her stop eating too . Shame you don’t have Malibu !!! 😢 Ps The Snowman pudding was amazing 😀

On a dreary Monday evening in November, we weren't expecting much when we booked a table at the Royal Oak. We were completely mistaken! The food, ambiance and service was all excellent and much better than expected. We will certainly be back, and tell all our friends too!
