The Heathcock - Cardiff

Great meal at The Heathcock tonight. Marinated oysters were incredible. Starters very well prepared and mains exquisite. We finished with a choc moose, cheese board and some port. A very enjoyable night. Thanks to the team. We'll be back xx

Great local in local Cardiff area. Good beers. Host needs to be a little cooler about people singing when he's agreed to a male voice choir having an afterglow there,

We ate at the restaurant and were served amazing food! Everything was great, from the ox heart skewers to the stuffed rabbit leg to the Eton mess. Definitely worth the short bus ride out of the city centre!

Amazing choice and clarity for coeliacs, sharing options are great value! We were seated outside and were allowed to order from the restaurant menu which was much appreciated. Only downside was it got very busy so we were forgotten about a bit as the evening went on. Decided to pay and not get dessert

Don't normally write reviews, but given the price of this place I feel compelled to. Booked for Sunday lunch as have had many great times here in the past, and don't mind paying a high price if the whole experience reflects this. Unfortunately, today's experience failed to meet with previous experience. Firstly, the table we were allocated should not be offered to anyone as it is extremely close to the adjoining table, meaning you have to disturb fellow diners in order to squeeze (literally) into your seat. Whilst the pork dish was fairly decent, the lamb arrived cooked vary rare. This was not advertised as such, otherwise I would have asked for it to be cooked to my liking when order was taken. Having said that, I immediately informed the server that I would like the lamb to be cooked more, which she obliged, and returned with the lamb slightly more cooked. Both meals were covered in a gravy which was very overpowering in taste (salty, thin and not very nice). This would have been better served in a separate pouring dish, which we discussed with the server on payment. He server admitted that the gravy is quite strong, mqybe she could have said this when we ordered, so we could have had the option for it to be served separately. Roast potatoes were overcooked, and were very difficult to cut they were so hard. The bill was incorrect in that the cheese board (which was delicious) was not included. We did inform them of this and a correct bill was delivered. In hindsight, we should have informed staff that our table was not fit for purpose but I hope they kindly take this under consideration now for future diners. All in all, I feel this was an overpriced dining experience for what we got. Sadly, I wont be rushing back anytime soon.
