Deri Inn in Cardiff

Corporate pub without much character. But clean and comfortable enough. Food was good and served quickly - and you certainly can't fault the portion sizes

Where shall I start . Went here to order scampi as a main and red wine lasagne as a main . First of all they just had some paper menu with hardly anything on it . So I went for the ciabatta with cheese and chutney with chips and my wife had the ham n eggs with chips . I went to the counter ordered a Pepsi. Was served a Pepsi max that's not what I ordered. The chips with both meals were hard in places and the ciabatta was horrific the bread itself was hard where it had been kept in a fridge and the amount of grated cheese in there was pitiful. My wife's ham was fatty and tasted stale . Someone came and asked if we were happy we told him the food is just OK 5 out 10 . I also showed him a voucher where I was supposed to have £5 off when spending 20.00. I was told the manageress was on break and no 1 could apply it other than her. Then the original girl with glasses came to table about 10 mins later coughing everywhere and I said I wanted to order dessert and I have a voucher. She also said what the guy had said that manageress was on break and only she could apply it . Waited another 10 mins . Nobody seemed to give a s**te . So we walked out . Won't return what a shambles they are running . If I hadn't of paid beforehand I wouldn't have paid them . Also as I'm leaving really cheesed off . You see staff members in the car park smoking nice look . 👌. And also don't bother responding saying you will look to improve like you have with other reviews. As it's obviously a load of rubbish and a cop out . I wish I could have my money back .

Having eaten at The Deri many times and never being disappointed, my friend and I decided to go there for lunch on Saturday.We arrived and we’re pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t really busy. We arrived just after 1 o’clock found a table and ordered our food and drinks, including our desserts as we were on a bit of a time schedule.After a while our main courses arrived and my meal came with potatoes rather than chips. I mentioned this and I was given a small bowl of chips. We finished our meal and waited and waited for our desserts! After about 30 minutes I went to the bar and asked when our desserts would be served and was told it would be soon. Our table still hadn’t been cleared and I noticed that staff were standing talking to each other. After another 10 minutes I cleared our table and left our plates on the bar. I sat back down and waited another 10 minutes before approaching the bar and the same member of staff and asked again about our desserts. He told me that desserts are requested after the tables had been cleared. I pointed out that our table hadn’t been cleared and that I had actually left our plates on the bar!My friend had a phone call from her 13 year old grandson asking to be picked up. By this time it was 2.45 and still our desserts hadn’t found their way to our table! She had to leave. I stayed and eventually our desserts arrived at our table at 2.57! She came back with her grandson a few minutes after that!The desserts, Eton Mess, we’re alright but no where near as good as they have been before.We were not offered an apology or any reason as to why the service was diabolical!We will be looking for another place for Saturday lunch in the future.

Went for lunch with my wife, mum in law and dog. Pub is dog friendly, which was great. Had a cheese and bacon burger. Food was good better than my last visit. Would visit again staff friendly and the fact it was dog friendly was a massive plus, thanks all.

Good food friendly staff. Food didn't take long.

Staff great very friendly. Had the Home Fried Nachos, I can see what the chef tried but the execution was OK. A few of them were burned, but the other components were plentiful and nice. My wife had the Tuna Mayo sandwich with chips and said her meal was lovely. The staff apologised for the Nachos. I Would come again and eat here but would choose a different meal. The drinks and service was great.

My mum, sister and myself went for lunch today for my mum's birthday. Service was excellent, server was very attentive. Food was lovely. My mum's and mine first choice was not available but it didn't matter as there was plenty of alternative choices..We will definitely be back.

This was my first time visiting and to be fair they were extremely busy,(around 7.30pm on a Friday)however the service was very disorganised. Once seated it took 45 minutes to take a drinks order and food order. There seemed to be one person taking orders and everyone else appeared to be serving. People were waiting a long time for drinks. Once we finally made our order the food came quick enough but both of us felt the chips were under cooked a little bit. I have been told by a friend though that their takeaway food is very good so it was probably because of how busy they were

Food was good for price. Great atmosphere. Staff were very accommodating

Food was quite good although portions are on the small side. Service could have been a lot better especially as you are not supposed to wander around. Nobody asked if we wanted more drinks or deserts.
