Christmas Day Lunch review

Went as a family of 6 for Christmas day lunch. It was fantastic! The food was great in quality and quantity. The staff were very attentive and in the Christmas spirit. Excellent value and would certainly go back

A flawless Christmas party at the Pontcanna In

We swapped the City Centre this year and chose the Pontcanna Inn for our work Christmas party—and we weren’t disappointed. Becky looked after everything from start to finish, making pre‑ordering a breeze and even accommodating a couple of late changes when people dropped out. On the day, our seating plan was set up with place cards, so the team could settle straight in. Service was perfectly timed: starters arrived together, mains followed without a hitch, and every dish was beautifully presented and excellent quality. With the bar right behind us, top‑ups were easy and the atmosphere stayed lively. The location is ideal—about a 10‑minute walk from the City Centre—and the premises on Cathedral Road are stunning. We’d planned to head into town after the meal but ended up staying all afternoon, soaking up the festive vibe. Huge thanks to Becky and the team for a wonderful day.

Excellent Christmas Meal

Lunch was well organised with pleasing options shared in advance. Meal was huge, well cooked and delicious. Arrived hot with plenty of good veg and gravy. Table was booked for two hours, crackers were on the table for arrival and the whole meal was festive and dellighful. Service friendly and thoughtful.
