This most certainly has the look and feel of a local pub. Clinging onto the steep hill of Church Lane in one of the old parts of Lisvane, it is slightly out of the way if you're walking and don't live nearby. The setting isn't the only thing going for it. Inside it has tried to maintain the tradition of a pub despite being taken over by a large chain (something that is almost inevitable for pubs now). It has cask ales and serves good food.
It tends to be the pub in the area where people congregate for large sporting events as it has a big screen on the back wall and lots of televisions dotted around. Obviously you'll have no luck in trying to change to a different game if Wales are playing any sort of a match, but it's always worth asking if the pub's quiet and people look disinterested in the game of choice.
A local's pub, but not overbearingly so.
Been to the pub several times and just wanted to say the meals are delicious but I think you should add back the wrap as a main meal that had sour cream and salsa with sizzling chicken hopefully you remember it was about 2-3 years ago it went, l miss that. Anyways other than that the pie, burgers, gammon are tasty and the veggies especially the mash.

Food was absolutely delicious, the time it took to come out was relatively quick and the service impeccable. I really enjoy coming here due to the relaxed environment, the friendly people and the pet welcoming culture. There is plenty of outdoor seating, equal to the amount of indoor seating available. There are designated smoking areas outside too. You can pay with cash and card here and there is wheelchair accessibility as well. There is an ample car parking area which can hold many cars. I wouldn't say there is an abundance of choice on the menu but what is there is real quality. The price is more than reasonable for the quality and the price range is what you would expect to pay for a pub meal. Next to the Inn there is a lovely little local authentic shop that serves most things. The scenery is lovely and the area extremely quiet. It's perfect for a stroll to go and get some lunch, for a family meal, to meet friends or to have a romantic dinner or a casual evening meal. We will definitely be back, as it is very unique and I adored its welcoming and friendly feel. Why don't you check it out for yourself, you will not be sorry.
A traditional pub with plenty of character. My wife and I opted for the Sunday roast and were certainly not disappointed. Very reasonably priced, great size portion and totally delicious. Treated ourselves to pud afterwards, I had the crumble and Cath had the Eaton mess. Both plates were cleared....lovely way to finish our dining experience off. If we are up from Liverpool again we will certainly revisit. Thank you Black Griffin.
Went with family to the Black Griffin for lunch. as we hadn’t been there for a while and was really happy with our meals even the kids ate all their food lol. All the staff were very Friendly, relaxed atmosphere and traditional pub food at a readonable price. The pub, including the toilets was very clean. A very good experience all round. Looking forward to returning 😊
Great pud despite it majoring on food. Great real ale, lovely atmosphere at end of bar, nice to see the regulars arrive for a lunchtime pint. Very dog friendly - down side - bloody huge tele never switched off. Lovely staff complete the picture.( low score on food as I only tested the beer )
I took my mother to the Black Griffin for lunch. I hadn’t been there for a long time and was really pleased with my choice. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere and traditional pub food at a sensible price. The pub, including the toilets was very clean. A great experience all round.
What a brilliant pub with excellent atmosphere! The menu is very good and lots of choice. The food came and it was very well presented, and the final plus point was the waitress Sarah who was again brilliant...well done Sarah and well done Black Griffin. Will come back again. Thanks alan
Great little pub. Have just moved into the area and having a lovely pub like this is amazing. Dog friendly, nice beer on draft, sports on TV and a really nice atmosphere.
Great venue. We ordered to table via app which you can QR scan to take you straight to play store / app store to get (app similar to wetherspoons app). Track and trace form and app easy to fill in / download, QR codes everywhere to speed things up 👍. Redirect we scanned from table (also has table number)
We managed to eat by just turning up and they were happy for us to arrange tables after rocking up.
In via entrance on main road (accessible via wheelchairs) toilets were clean and accessed to right of the main bar as you walk in entrance.
Prices for drinks a bit deer but food was great and service very good and polite!
Parking for about 20ish cars.
Looks great inside !
