Located in a former bank vault beneath the city, The Potted Pig restaurant shares its passion for modern British food and wonderful gins through ever-changing, seasonal menus and the odd whole suckling pig!
Opened in 2011, The Potted Pig proudly serves a varied and constantly changing menu of modern British food with a few French and New-York grill inspired influences. The menus are based on food we love cooking and eating rather than a single concept, so you always get a taste of what excites us! We’ve forged great relationships with some of the finest independent and local suppliers so that we can deliver only the freshest, seasonal flavours to your plate.
Our wine and drinks menu has been carefully selected to match our menus and we carry an excellent range of independently sourced wines as well as a fantastic array of bottled lagers, ales and ciders. Don’t forget also to check out our extensive spirit range including an unrivalled choice of bespoke gin.
Booked for a group of 6 for my birthday, the Sunday roast was divine. I ended up opting for the sharing platter as I couldn't choose a main - they all sounded incredible. Food was excellent, great value for money. Heads up, they have an updated Sunday Roast Menu in person rather than their website. No pate but the black pudding was delicious. Service was great, everyone was lovely and friendly. However if you're booking for a group/birthday/event ask them to allocate extra time if you need it, as, as soon as we got there we were asked to give the table back within 2 hours. Not a problem, but would have been nice to not feel rushed as friends travelled from London to catch-up, and we would have stayed longer for drinks if possible. Overall a great experience. Definitely reccomend. Veggie pals spoke highly of their options too!
First time dining here! The service was top notch; seated within a minute. Drinks orders taken within five minutes, food orders five minutes after. The staff were jovial and very welcoming without being over the top. Their menu was short and seasonal; certainly enough to entice the taste buds of anyone. The food was served within around twenty minutes of being seated. Appetisers were super tasty and not overly fussy. Starters were light and packed with flavour -delightful. Main courses were the stars of the show -I had the pork belly and it was some of the best I've tasted. Deserts were a perfectly balanced end -I (over)indulged in poached pear tartlet with a walnut crumb. Delicious. The general atmosphere was great, it was busy without being overly loud, everyone seemed to be having a great time (us included). Would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Cardiff - it's a local treasure of a restaurant and deserves to remain a landmark in the city centre! Five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Potted Pig is a great spot for a date night or an occasion and my favorite restaurant in Cardiff! Everything we ordered was delicious! I loved the potted pig and the ribs, which just fell off the bone!
The potted pig Known for one of the best restaurants in the area and very tough to get into. I was able to slide in as a walk in and though the greater and service has been attentive thus far the area that I was placed in was secluded from the main restaurant with the décor of an old cellar. I ordered the Chicharrón’s, duck pate, ribeye, sticky toffee pudding and the Cabernet Sauvignon. The chicharron’s were very dry but also super crunchy, the duck leg pate was cool and didn’t spread well but was well flavored to the salty side however was cut by the mustard greens and Gergen pickles. The ribeye was ordered medium rare but came medium. The flavor was well seasoned on the salty side that was again cut by the side salad of Cabbage, and Lakota topped with garlic butter. The dessert was topped with a sticky toffee bread pudding was the star. Light, fluffy, and served pipping hot while drenched in a light toffee syrup and a side scoop of vanilla ice cream. The food was amazing, the service was very attentive, the only negative is the isolation but I’m guessing that with a reservation you could be in the main rooms with everyone else. In short this was an excellent birthday meal and has me excited to see what the next birthday brings.
Ate in for dinner. Delicious crab ravioli. My husband’s favourite was the Welsh rarebit. Expensive but you can anticipate that from the menu. Staff were helpful without being overly attentive. Atmosphere was interesting, like being in a secret cave!
