The Kings Arms Pentyrch is a countryside pub on Church Road in Pentyrch, on the outskirts of Cardiff. It combines the welcome of a village local with a more considered restaurant experience, creating a setting that works for drinks, dinner and weekend gatherings.
Chef proprietor Dan brings two decades of experience in Michelin starred kitchens to the venue. His approach centres on seasonal British cooking, using the produce and flavours of the time of year rather than relying on one fixed style throughout the calendar.
Three different menus provide choices for varying occasions and appetites, with a dedicated Sunday lunch service adding a traditional weekend focus. The format makes the pub appropriate for a full meal while retaining the flexibility expected from a neighbourhood public house.
The bar and dining spaces welcome both local regulars and visitors travelling from Cardiff. Booking is useful for popular services, particularly Sunday lunch. Guests with allergies or intolerances should contact the team or speak to staff before ordering so the current menu and preparation methods can be discussed.
Address: Church Road, Pentyrch, Cardiff CF15 9QF, Wales
