    Have found the landlord to be very rude in the past. I have lived in Whitchurch all my life, but won't drink there personally.

But to find yourself as a pub opposite the Ballardian nightmare that is Gablafa Interchange with a recently opened Wetherspoon's smack bang in the middle of is without doubt a nightmare. The Three Horse Shoes has had this problem on its hands for almost a year now and is fighting it admirably. It has chosen the fronts of sports TV and community feel on which to wage its war. The former is signified by the large LCD TVs dotted around the bar and the large banners advertising both Sky Sports and ESPN. The latter is denoted by the friendly staff, the banter they have with the customers and the general cosiness feel of the place. It also keeps the impact on your wallet to a minimum with Brains' Famous Five for £3.85 meal promotion, Fosters at £2.30 and Brains IPA at £1.85. There's a darts board, a standard It-Box and occasional live music. They also have some bizarre high seats from which only basketball players couldn't dangle their legs and feel like a five-year-old. I was expecting the worst when I finally made it across Gabalfa Interchange, but what I found was a friendly, clean, and cosy community pub.

If ever you call in for a drink at this pub and feel hungry then don't hesitate to order food when these two are cooking. Also, because it is a Brains pub take advantage of the menu offer they have Mon Fri.

My other half loves the place, mainly because he can have piles and piles of food and i'm quite happy to go along so I don't have to cook a roast myself. There's nothing particularly wrong with it, I just don't like having to wait ages for a table and then stand in a queue to get my dinner- kinda reminds me of being back in school. I don;t know if other branches are always this busy so maybe i've just been unlucky when i've been here. It also annoys me that the car park is always full and I usually end up having to wait for someone to leave. I do like the selection of food but there's nothing quite like freshly cooked, homemade food and this is bit too manufactured for me. I will be going back, and it'll be pleasant enough. Cheap and Cheerful sounds about right.

My colleagues queued for 45 minutes with just one member of staff ha doing a line of 20 people! As one joint disappeared he made everyone wait instead of asking if people prefer to have the joints available! Madness! Finally after 45 mins another carver deigned to appear. Everyone complaining and one fella gave up and went next door to Tesco to get a sandwich. If I was the owner I would be looking at the kitchen staffs management style and organise things better. Appreciate that there was a member of staff off sick but reading other reviews suggests there needs to be a better organised system. Only the waiting staff kept a positive tone despite the stress!

    The North Star is a vast pub cum restaurant and music venue occupying a prominent position on North…read moreRoad in the Maindy / Gabalfa area of Cardiff. It is an incredibly inspiring and important addition to the cultural wealth of the city. Opened in October last year, it is already the home to a cosmopolitan mix of locals, business people and students, as well as regular visitors from all over the city and beyond. When you walk into The North Star you can appreciate why it has such a draw. The old Victorian mansion-sized building has been lovingly refurbished with impressive style. The modern look, embellished with antique flourishes and an eclectic use of period furniture, has been created by Tim Rice, one of Cardiff's most successful designers, leading The North Star to be shortlisted for 'The Best Bar and Restaurant Design Awards' within months of its unveiling. It also scooped up another accolade when it was voted the fifth best 'cheap eat' in the UK by The Guardian. There's more to say about The North Star than I've got space here on Yelp. It's a multi-faceted business that offers a lot, to many. Managed by a brother and sister team, with Alex taking care of front of house, and her brother conjuring up epicurean delights in the kitchen. The food, organic and locally sourced wherever possible, is extensive in range and all homemade from scratch, including the relishes, dough's and even the Yorkshire puds! Dishes are predominantly Italian, but the menu frequently includes Welsh favourites like cockles and lava bread, Monmouthshire lamb and potted pig. With deals like '2 for 1' operating from Monday to Friday, customers are visibly increasing on a weekly basis. Specialty dishes are changed regularly, usually prompted by the advice of their local butcher, J T Morgan, who tips them the wink about all the best seasonal cuts on offer. Established in 1861, J T Morgan Butchers have occupied a position of importance at the indoor market, in central Cardiff, for more years than anyone can remember. A family butchers that have moved with the times, they are presently one of the most recognized purveyors of free range and organic meat and poultry in South Wales. Not surprisingly, The North Star makes the most of a good thing. As well as fantastic Sunday lunches, boasting the most succulent roasts in town, they're also hosting BBQ's on Friday and Sundays over the warmer months. Live music is on offer most days of the week, kicking off on Wednesdays with the Open Mic Night hosted by Rowan Liggett, who is also Co-Director of The Miniature Music Press, a really well produced A5 music magazine and 'What's On', that you can pick up for free at a whole host of places around the city. The North Star also has a sister pub worth mentioning; The Vulcan in Cathays on Wyvern Road, another haunt of the ubiquitous Rowan Liggett, who runs the Open Mic nights here as well. Frequented mainly by students, this is a cool live music pub, also designed by Tim Rice, that is equally well worth checking out. www.theminiaturemusicpress.com/

Its in a bit of an odd place really and right on the middle of the student area which is why I guess I had never been tempted to go there sooner. Went for an early dinner, the food was nice but not outstanding. I liked the relaxed atmosphere of the place and all the comfy looking leather sofa's. It would be a lovely Sunday place hangout I think. Prices are probably aimed at the students so its fairly cheap and there seems to be lots of events going on. Just wish parking was easier round there.

    For a chain pub (Hungry Horse, Greene King), this place really makes you feel at home, and feels…read moremore like a family run affair. The dining area goes on for miles at the back so there is plenty of space to eat. There are booths, tables and a very cool semi circular nook in the corner. At the front there's also a pool table and bar area. Let's not beat around the bush, The Three Elms is definitely for the professional eater. It's not called the Hungry Horse for nothing. The portions are huge and come out on big oval plates. There are smaller versions available of most meals if your a wimp. But I can't wait to try the Meatysaurus - 20oz steak with all the works. Yum. Sunday lunches are pretty good (not carvery though) and they're currently running 2 for £10 on the regular size and 2 for £12 on the big plate specials. During the week (Mon - Thurs I think) they're running 2 meals for £8 on a selection from their menu. From the rest of the menu there's plenty to choose from ranging from light bites and sides to main meals and desserts. I'd love to try the 20 Onion Ring pole. A collection of 20 rings - on a pole - served with dips. Damn my stupid allergy to them. This place is great for families and people of all ages. There are two car parks but these can fill up pretty quickly, just to warn you.

    It's not a bad pub - big TV's showing sport etc, since the refurb the interior is quite pleasant…read more The food however is a different story. Don't get me wrong, it serves a purpose; when I moved in nearby I took 9 people there for lunch & we all ate for £63! Ultimately though, you get what you paid for; low quality meat, frozen chips, usually served on a cold plate. I won't be eating there again - Whitchurch has much more to offer.
