The inn takes its name from Elizabeth Lewis, heiress of a major local landowner in the area, who married the Third Earl of Plymouth in the early 1700's. The Plymouth Arms' location provided easy access to Cardiff and was a popular stop off point for people travelling there in traditional handsom cabs.

The food was delicious and our steaks were cooked to perfection. Everything was first class and the service was excellent. Our waitress, Maddie, couldn’t do enough for us and explained everything when we queried anything. The festive menu was delightful and the T-bone steaks were stunning. The Christmas decorations throughout were beautiful and the atmosphere was warm and cosy. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Look forward to coming again very soon.
It's the best Sunday roast I've ever had.. I went for the slow cooked pork belly, and it was absolutely delicious.. the meat was simply just melting in my mouth, the crackling was crispy, the Yorkshire pudding, potatoes, and vegetables were as good as you could expect from a proper restaurant. No complaints at all from me. Hubby had fillet sea bass and king prawns, served with baby potatoes, peas, broccoli, and a creamy white wine sauce and he was content with everything. Definitely will be my go-to place for Sunday roast.
One thing that lives rent free in my head was the scene in one of the episodes in ‘Come Dine with Me’, where the host fully shoves the entire whisk in his mouth, sucking the chocolate out of it. Then used that said whisk to continue mixing the batter. I will never go for a meal in that contestant’s house but I will gladly stay for a meal in the Plymouth Arms. Their three meat roast is not quite to shout for (especially with what you are paying) but what they knocked out of the park is their all day menu, add that with their posh sauces, dedicated staff and you got yourself a banger of a meal and an experience that will live rent free in your head.
First time here since the refurbishment, Staff are friendly, atmosphere is ok, we didn’t have to wait long for food to arrive to the table but wasn’t warned how hot the handle was for the chicken skewers and ended up burning my hand. Staff didn’t come and check how the food was which is standard in any restaurant, most of the food was warm,Presentation a lot better than the taste. Would try again but we did book early so maybe they were just getting into the flow of the shift?
Lovely beer garden and a varied menu. This place is hidden in the heart of St Fagans and is worth a visit, especially on a summer's day. The garden is lovely, with plenty of space, and the food and drink menu has something to offer for everyone . We got away without booking a table, but I can imagine it gets busy on occasion. The restaurant inside looked lovely, too. A nice setting for an evening meal with friends and family.
