The Four Elms is a community pub and dining venue at 1 Elm Street in Roath, Cardiff. Its relaxed rooms, beer garden and regular entertainment provide a familiar local setting, while a fresh food menu is served throughout the week.
Grills and pub classics form the heart of the menu, with steaks, mixed grill, fish and chips, scampi and steak pie among the substantial choices. Burgers, sandwiches and smaller appetisers provide more casual alternatives for lunch or a meal with drinks.
A Sunday carvery adds a weekly tradition with a choice of meats, seasonal vegetables and homemade gravy. Regular themed food offers highlight steaks, burgers and fish dishes on different evenings, while vegetarian and vegan items are marked across the menu.
Draught beer, wine and soft drinks accompany the food, and the garden gives the pub extra space in suitable weather. Guests with allergies should ask staff for current guidance because the kitchen handles the fourteen common allergens and cannot guarantee complete separation.
