Newly re-opened and re-vamped Cardiff pub The Old Cottage in Lisvane welcomed back customers after it was closed for just over three weeks to get a new look. With warm soft lighting, modern and sleek furnishings and no loud music which means you can hear yourself speak, the re-vamped pub is a delight to visit.
We booked our table for 5.30pm on Sunday, just a day after it re-opened, and the pub with busy with a nice feel as customers chatted and enjoyed their meals. Served with a Sunday menu, I was impressed with the wide range of dishes because as well as five different roast options, you could also order burgers, steaks and fish dishes if you didn't fancy a classic Sunday roast. The drinks menu features a range of gins, wines and beer on tap.
We were seated in the rear restaurant area but the pub also has to a bar section, with high stools and tables as well as lower seating and there's an impressive outdoor area that looked perfect for warmer weather.
