Attentive service from the moment you arrive. A choice of cream teas with a large piece of bara brith replacing one of the scones for a Welsh Cream Tea. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely lunch for our Christmas party. The food was excellent and so too was the service. The website and booking system are in urgent need of work as they made the booking process unnecessarily long and complicated. You are probably losing customers who abandon the process after being told by the system that there are no slots available even though you are far from fully booked.

My boyfriend and I visited for our two year anniversary after reading good reviews. We contacted the tea rooms prior to visiting to see if we could change the sandwich option and they were very highly accommodating as the chef makes the sandwiches fresh - can remove and add anything to the sandwiches. The food was delicious! We ordered the chicken and stuffing, ham and roasted veg sandwiches. It also consisted of two scones (cranberry and white chocolate for my boyfriend and a plain one for me), two gingerbread men, chocolate fudge and two mini mince pies. We were both stuffed and still had a cake slice each to choose from the counter!! We were able to get more hot water for our two pots of tea which is great for a cold day ☺️ The waiter was very friendly and polite - explained the menu very well and was happy to answer any questions. Would highly recommend if you’re visiting Cardiff for the day.

Festive Afternoon Tea was superb and by far the best afternoon tea I’ve ever had anywhere. Everything from the service, the choice of sandwiches to the freshness and quality was incredible. I would definitely recommend and will be back again soon. Thank you to all @ Pettigrew Tea Rooms. Merry Christmas

What a delight the afternoon tea was on Tuesday. I was spoilt for choice with the menu and what I did choose was delectable. Taking home my ‘goody’s’ bag with extras was a bonus. All this presented with a smile, what more can anyone ask for. Thank you, and I hope to return soon.
