Excellent meal and it was served hot which is a bonus other than other venues. Well done

Spacious Wetherspoons pub near the end of City Road. More of a local than most. Friendly staff.

Lovely beer garden. Toilets were nice and clean. Good atmosphere and very fast service, especially for a Saturday

I went to the Ernest Willows for lunch and coffee, the coffee was refillable and was lovely, it's Lavatta l had sausage, mash, peas and gravy it was ok, well cooked. The atmosphere was great, staff were great. Great place to visit. Wheelchair friendly.

Good rating due to the expansive toilets. This is due to the fact that the venue used to be a car showroom. Nice breakfast and service.

Long standing local pub of Roath. Many of the local drinking establishment along City Road i.e. Poets Corner (Tut and Chive), The Roath, Milgi's, have gone!
This and Bar 147 (which isn't always open) are the only remaining along this stretch. Good post-work drinks meeting point for Roath-ians that worked in surrounding businesses!

Good spoons pub. The food is always great and the staff are really attentive. It's an older pub in the chain so the decor is looking worn but it doesn't put us off visiting. With a refurb, this would be a fantastic pub.

Was cosy inside and everyone was polite. We ordered main meals. Thought a bit skimpy on the chips. And not all sauces available,usually a better selection. Our visit was only spoilt by a man constantly being horrible to his little boy,who was a lovely little soul, He was aggressive to him when he could pull himself away from his mobile. It really upset me. We would come again (Two oap's) but please let's have a few more chips please.x

Lovely pub that me and my work team popped onto after a team building day. Lovely staff but I was SO impressed with the toilets!! Nice layout in the pub, smoking area etc

Good food reasonably priced. (Small update. Why is the young lady with the pony tale behind the bar so consistently rude and ignorant?? No please, thank you and in months of visits and never seen a smile ever. Ridiculously rude. Really lets the rest of the great staff down). Quite a nice pub in a central location. Pretty quick service even when busy. Majority of staff are polite and friendly.
Visit egularly.
