The Ernest Willows in Cardiff

Excellent pub, great food. I just had a fantastic steak and a beautiful evening.

Good spoons pub in Cardiff. Excellent drinks prices and food deals. Very much value for money and fantastic selection of beers and ales

Good food reasonably priced. Quite a nice pub in a central location. Pretty quick service even when busy. Majority of staff are polite and friendly.Visit egularly.

Our table was fairly sticky and messy, despite it seemingly being cleaned. Our first drinks took a long time to arrive, and we could see them sat at the bar for a long time before someone brought them over. I appreciate they may have been short staffed, but the entire bar piled up with drinks at one point. When the food arrived, I was really let down. It was like they'd ran out of food, and were just putting the remaining scraps on the plate. I ordered fish and chips, and got around 8 chips with it, along with a small and mostly batter fish. We decided to order dessert, and after a long time again, our "warm" fudge cake with ice cream arrived virtually stone cold, with a literal teaspoon of ice cream. Even my friend, who wouldn't usually comment on these things, was shocked. I know it's a wetherspoons, you're not going to get fine dining. But I've never had a worse meal or experience at any spoons than I had at this one. Maybe they were short staffed, who knows. But it just led to a disappointing, small, cold meal with long wait times that delivered nothing.

Went there 2day for food on my dinner break ,place looks nice and spacious,the food was lovely,but what made it for me was the girl behind the bar,her name was Lauren,smiling through out, very polite 2 every one,and couldn't do enough 4 you,I would go again

Nice friendly staff and good value for money, my favourite wetherspoons in Cardiff!

I appreciate that some pubs are short staffed, but there is no excuse for rudeness or ignorance from staff. I paid for my order, and waited for the final drink, but the bartender did not return, I asked the manager for help. There was no sorry about that etc, just a did you ask for that drink ??, I was given a mug to help myself, only to then be told by the same manager, that you MUST now pay for it ,99p. Again no apology , we just want your money. Do these so called managers ever get any customer service training, as this manager would not last a day in my company.I am happy to pay for whatever I ask for, but do not treat me as if I was trying pull as fast one. I'll never visit this pub again, and I'll be sharing my experience with the 900 plus staff that I work with. Well done to Witherspoons.

Nice breakfast good price and free refills on hot drinks ...if your lucky you may get more than one mushroom 🍄!

Worst breakfast I have had, it was a nice pub and surroundings inside, staff were nice enough. But if you see the picture and then ate the food, then you'd know why i gave it 3 stars.

A small Wetherspoon's that's quite cosy with a rear outdoor terrace.I had a real ale: Jemma's Pitchfork which was okay, but left a funny aftertaste and a half of Shipyard.Not my favourite JDW in Cardiff, though
