The Black Griffin Inn is a village pub on Church Road in Lisvane, Cardiff. Its building has stood on the site for around 400 years, while the current venue pairs that historic setting with a welcoming pub atmosphere for local meals, drinks and gatherings.
The food offer centres hearty pub cooking. Burgers, fish and chips, sausage and mash, pies and mac and cheese sit alongside lighter lunch choices, giving diners a practical range from a quick midday plate to a filling evening meal.
Small plates such as crispy squid, halloumi bites, chicken tenders, tacos and wings are designed for sharing. Sunday roasts arrive with roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, cauliflower cheese, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding and gravy, with several meat and meat-free choices.
Sports screens, a stocked bar, on-site parking and family-friendly facilities make the pub suitable for both match days and quieter meals. The venue provides allergen and non-gluten information, and guests with dietary needs should still confirm the latest recipes with staff.
