Lovely classic pub at the top of the High Street a stones throw from Cardiff Castle. Their menu is small with typical pub fare, only crisps for us on this visit but will definitely be back to sample their fish and chips. The drinks were good, the seating was cozy and the staff were friendly. We will definitely return
Very delicious traditional food!
We had the vegetarian breakfast which includes the glamorgan sausages, Welsh rarebit and the pudding.
I really recommend this place
A decent pub near to the castle with a nice ornate Victorian style interior.
The drinks were pretty cheap too (they seemed to have a happy hour on 4-7 I think).
The staff were quite friendly too and they had a good array of outdoor seating available.
Only criticism was the door on the gents cuboid didn’t lock, although that could have just been me! A decent pub for the location.

We were in Cardiff for the day (Saturday afternoon) and wanted somewhere for lunch. Walking past the Blue Bell, saw the menu outside (and people eating at tables outside, and the food looked good) so went in to order lunch. Were greeted by friendly bar staff, ordered food and drinks at the bar, there were a number of free tables to choose from to sit at. Both ordered cod and chips. Food didn't take long, and was excellent. We were both happy with the food, tasted great, actually, have to say the chips were amongst the best I have ever had, if not actually the best I have ever had. And a s a slightly overweight male late 50's, I have eaten a lot of chips in my life :) so these really were good to register as the best! Large portions, and tasted great, have no hesitation highly recommending the Blue Bell. Only slight negative, more amusing than an actual negative, was there was no lock on the gents loo door, and no way of holding it shut, very unfortunate for anyone else trying to get in whilst I was in there, and were faced with my unpleasant sight!
Can't fault this honest pub for Welsh grub and relaxed pub atmosphere. Allows dogs and provided water. We had the welsh cawl which was great on a cold day, and I had the Welsh rarebit. Could have done with little more seasoning so the chutney was a nice accompaniment. Recommended.
Near Cardiff city centre, it is difficult to find proper pub. Because most place is overcrowded or expensive. I wanted pint of ale. It was so nice and price was reasonable as well. I recommend here. It is so cosy and friendly.
Amazing vegetarian Welsh rarebit w/chutney and vegan wellington with parsnips and stuffing. The wellington was made with mushroom, cranberry, sweet potato, chickpeas and other ingredients- really good! View of the castle while eating…
Our meal was absolutely awesome. The fish and chips were really really good, but the sticky toffee with vanilla custard was beyond heavenly. The staff were absolutely fantastic, but I would absolutely return here.
I should have taken pictures... we were very hungry and started before I could get pictures... but we'll worth it. I will return next time and get pictures
Solid spot for traditional welsh food. I got the welsh cawl and rarebit with a pint. Fair prices and a good atmosphere, good intro to Welsh food.
Nice pub! Had a nice deal for soup, carvery and beer. Well worth!
