Lewis Arms - Cardiff

I came in for dinner, the place was grubby and dirty and there was a lump of hair in my food. Even prior to that the food was greasy and unappetising. Avoid at all costs! I should have gone with my gut when I walked in. Will never go there again

£100 parking fine for innocent mistake thinking it was free on Sundays. The pub should listen to all these terrible reviews about similar situations and make sure their experience is a bit more welcoming. It may not be directly their fault but they must do something about it as the car park is linked to them

Do not park anywhere near this property. I didn’t park in the car park yet still managed to get a fine for parking on a neighbouring street with no signs! The fine was £100 for 20 minutes when the pub wasn’t even open. The fine goes straight to the pub so it’s obviously been set up as a profit maker. Avoid this place or risk getting scammed.

It was very quiet-not a good sign.dirty table -got it cleaned after asking twice. drinks ok .food very long time coming 2cod in chips in batter-very small-turned out to be salmon.complained but thats all they had!so what!!other meals mediocre at best ,poor service rude girl .give it a miss like everybody else except the ants who were everywhere.

I am in my 60's and I can honestly say, without a doubt that I have never, in all of my life ever met anyone that I dislike enough to recommend this establishment to. When I entered the first thing that hit me was the smell !!! very unpleasant, sort of flowery chemically smell, not sure if it was toilet cleaner or carpet cleaner, but it was awful! I was the only customer. I had a glass of wine....it was so good I left it on the table. I would have not bothered to do a review of this place, it was so unmemorable and mediocre it did not deserve a review, not good enough for a good review and not bad enough for a bad one but! The barmaid was bored, sat on a stool with nothing to do, but serve me...so you think she would have mentioned that you have to put your car reg into the console, wherever it is hidden!!!! I suspect they do not encourage that sort of behavior, as probably the only income this pub gets is from parking fines. £3.10 for a glass of battery acid and £100 to park. (that's the twist) Lucky for me, I was working, so I got a receipt and was therefore able to prove that I was an actual customer and got the parking fine cancelled. But even so, it still leaves a bad taste in the mouth, literally!.
