I had an amazing dinner experience at The Potted Pig. The place is beautiful, cozy, and has a very fancy atmosphere while still feeling welcoming and comfortable. Emma, my waitress, was incredibly attentive throughout the entire evening. She constantly checked in to make sure everything was okay and truly made the experience feel special with her kindness and professionalism. The drinks were excellent. I had a prosecco to accompany dinner, which was very refreshing and perfectly balanced. I also ordered a Negroni one of my favorite cocktails and honestly one that is very difficult to find properly made. This one was very well prepared and definitely exceeded my expectations. As a starter, I had the Welsh rarebit, which was incredibly cheesy with deep and rich flavors. It was the perfect way to open the appetite before the main course. For the main dish, I had the pork belly, and it was simply exquisite. It was cooked perfectly and had an excellent combination of textures that made every bite enjoyable. To finish the dinner, I had the tiramisu, and I honestly could not stop eating it because it was so good. The perfect ending to an already incredible meal. Overall, this is an excellent place for an elegant dinner, whether with very good company or even by yourself. The atmosphere, food, drinks, and service made it a truly memorable experience.

My husband and I are from the States and Sunday Roasts are our favorite thing when visiting. We were not disappointed this go around. The beef and pork belly were cooked to perfection, as well as the steamed veggies, potatoes and cheesy cauliflower. The sticky toffee pudding was absolutely delightful. The pudding is tied for #1 for us compared to a restaurant in Oxford. The atmosphere was lovely, the service great, and prices reasonable. Sad to be leaving, otherwise we'd go again this Sunday.
The Potted Pig is an experience that should not be missed when one is in Cardiff. Based out of an old Bank vault, one descends a few stairs and leaves all the woes of the world at pavement level. The twinkling lines and whimsical pigs along with an understated elegance, invite one to simply breathe….. The food was superb and the service first class. We at vegetarian ravioli and chicken piccata and both dishes were excellent. The two or three course menu options make a meal interesting, and the choices were good. The toilet doors elicited a chuckle as Mona Lisa has never looked so useful….maybe this is why she is smiling? When in Cardiff go and eat at the Potted Pig and you will not be disappointed.
Lamb was dry but they gave more gravy which helped, Cockles were really good, dessert was good as well. The customer service was good, they took the dessert price off the bill because of the long wait and dry lamb.
