Here at the Heathcock, as at the Hare & Hounds, we serve good quality food and drinks in relaxed and informal surroundings.
Our pub is a thriving local watering hole that has been keeping locals’ thirst at bay for over 100 years. We still do exactly that, with great ales, interesting wines, homemade seasonal drinks and delicious bar snacks.
Alongside the bar, we offer a daily changing, seasonal menu in our dining rooms. Head Chef Dave was an integral part of the team at the Hare & Hounds since it opened, and offers his own style here at the Heathcock. We use the very best produce that the Vale of Glamorgan and Cardiff have to offer. We have some of the most productive soil in the UK, which gives us meat, vegetables and game of the highest quality. Our kitchen garden provides us with homegrown fruit and vegetables too.
Everything is made from scratch in our kitchen, from our own sourdough bread and cultured butter, to fresh pasta. This is not pretentious fine dining; its just about good food, whether you’ve been for a long walk with your dog or have got something to celebrate. We’re excited to bring our regional Welsh cooking to our Capital City.

Lovely garden area with heaters. Friendly staff, nice drinks. Haven't had food there yet but it always looks delicious so will definitely give it a go soon. Dog friendly. Edit: finally got around to trying their restaurant and it was amazing! Delicious food, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere (apart from a table next to us that kept laughing uncomfortably loudly, but not the restaurant's fault - some people crave attention) and reasonably priced, especially if you consider being the Michelin Guide Restaurant.
Sad to say that our experience was seemingly one shared by a number of diners here. The saltiness of the food really did render it unpalatable. The wine was decent and the serving staff good. But the food was ultimately let down by quite ridiculous levels of salt in a number of the dishes.
Definitely a destination pub, but take the salt pot out the kitchen! Reading some of the reviews I keep reading over & over again about too much salt in the food. Sadly we had the same issue resulting in a reduction in our bill. However ...... full marks for lovely helpful front of house staff, an exciting menu (please take on board my salt comment!) and wonderful atmosphere. We loved your community vibe too. We'll definitely be back - to check on sodium levels! - and also try our luck at the pub quiz and sample the beer. Well done, and good luck to The Heathcock 👍
Lovely pub and beer garden, great selection of ales and ciders. The food is very special, you'll be pushed to find better food in Cardiff. Recently had (amongst other things) the homemade gnocchi with mushrooms... still thinking about it! Yum.
Wow, what an absolute food dream! The Heathcock is bar the best restaurant, dining and food experience I have had in all my travels and entire life. How lucky I am to have stumbled across this hidden gem in a Google search. Walking into the venue, it had a relaxed, warm and cosy UK pub vibe. The dining room, though, felt elegant and charming, which matched the food being served. Although travelling solo, I booked in for the Sample Tasting Menu and what a truly delightful and memorable experience it was. Each dish consisted of the best and highest quality ingredients, which all married together perfectly to create mouthwatering creations that had me unable to put down my spoon and fork. Each dish was fresh and flavoursome, and you could tell a great deal of thought, love, and care had gone into making them from scratch. The service was equally exceptional, and it felt like you were in a 5-star restaurant but in the comfort of a home. The Sample Tasting Menu was every bit worth the cost and it's still food I dream of often. If I could, I would jump back onto a plane to Wales for this food alone. A huge congratulations and my gratitude to the team at The Heathcock for creating a food menu of dreams.
