Ive not been in the Cardigan Arms for around 30 years. I was delighted that the magnificent decor, furniture and layout hadnt been changed and that they were now serving food. I had a fabulous beef Sunday roast and my neighbour had succulent gammon, Yorkshire puds etc. I asked for extra gravy, which was delicious and horse raddish.  The staff were really helpful, infact quite charming.  A good selection of beers, wines and a well stacked bar.  Easy access from the street and plenty of parking. As an ex-Secret Diner, it really ticked all the boxes for me.  Thanks Liam, your a great chef

This restaurant offers an excellent dining experience with top-quality food and exceptional service. Sophie and her team made our special occasion unforgettable!

The staff were really friendly and helpful. Food was spot on, especially the lamb shank - cooked perfectly, just fell off the bone. Nice atmosphere too.

Bottomless brunch was decent. Imose and the team kept things moving, which was good. Cocktails hit the spot.

Popped in for a pint on a chilly night. The fire was going, which was just the thing. Kirsty behind the bar was really nice and chatty. A proper local feel.

Been coming here for years and the charcuterie board is always spot on. Great selection of British and European cheeses.

Popped in late, Hayden was behind the bar. Really knows his stuff, made a solid old fashioned. Good vibe for a quiet drink.

Lovely quiet lunch here. The windows let in so much light, felt very cozy. Service was good, gave me space to enjoy my book. A nice spot for a solo meal.

Cool old building, nice terrace. Had the pasta special, it was good but a bit pricey. Solid spot for a casual dinner.

Popped in for a quick breakfast after an appointment nearby. The full English was decent, but honestly, for &pound;12.50, I expected a bit more on the plate. Just felt a little light for the price.

We had a brilliant time at the bottomless brunch! The cocktails were creative and the food was spot on. The service from Megan and Ash was friendly and efficient, making it a delightful experience.

Been coming here for years, and the bottomless brunch is consistently spot on. Service is always quick, never feel rushed.

The new landlord has made such a difference here. It finally feels like a proper local pub again. I love the warm, inviting atmosphere now - had a really nice, relaxed evening with a fresh, well-prepared burger.

Nice local pub, recently refurbished so feels fresh. Good selection of beers and lagers, all fairly priced. Staff were pleasant and efficient. Stopped in for a quick pint after work, it&#39;s conveniently located. Did the job.

Been coming here for years, always get the Sunday roast. The pork is consistently spot on, and that crackling is just right every time. The sticky toffee pudding is my go-to finish. It&#39;s the reliability that keeps me coming back.

The staff here are so helpful. I ordered the wrong thing by mistake, and when I mentioned it, they just brought out what I actually wanted, no extra charge or hassle. Really nice of them.

The drinks are great, but I was really impressed by the bar snacks. The chorizo and cheddar doughballs were a decent size for sharing and tasted proper. Good value for what you get.

The Kyoto Cluck-Cluck bao was the star for me. The steamed bun was so soft and fluffy, and the chicken inside was just the right kind of juicy. Really enjoyed the whole vibe of the place while eating it.

Came by for a drink. The Old Fashioned was spot on, one of the best I&#39;ve had. Strawberry daiquiri was good too. Just a solid place for a cocktail.

Popped in for a quiet pint after work. The atmosphere is just right for that - never feels too loud or empty. It&#39;s a proper Leeds pub, you can see why it&#39;s been around so long. The bitter was spot on, served at the perfect temperature.

Grabbed lunch here with a few mates. The lunch menu is a solid deal for this part of town. Food was tasty, we all left happy and not broke. Good spot for a casual catch-up.

Came for breakfast with my dog, sat outside. The portion sizes really stood out for the price, very generous. My plate was full, and it was all tasty. Good value for a proper meal.

A nice little spot, but the construction across the street was pretty loud. The food was hot and fresh, and the prices are fair for the city centre.

The cocktails were a bit pricey, but the ingredients tasted so fresh. You can tell they use quality spirits and real fruit juices. The staff was really helpful in explaining the options.

Popped in for a pie and mash dinner. Just what I was after. The service was really friendly and the place was comfortable, which made it a very easy, relaxing evening.

A proper local pub, this. Allie and the team are genuinely welcoming, which makes a real difference. It&#39;s the kind of place where you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Food&#39;s always reliable and the prices are spot on.

The beef tacos were spot on, really well-seasoned. The churros were a nice finish. The burrito, though, needed a bit more punch, felt a bit flat in comparison. Still, a decent meal.

Becky was the star of our bottomless brunch. She kept our glasses topped up without us even asking, and her smile was genuine. Made the whole thing flow so smoothly.

The lamb shank was the standout. Cooked for hours, the meat fell off the bone effortlessly. The red wine jus had a deep, savoury richness that paired perfectly with the mash. A really solid, flavourful main.
