    A fantastic experience all round, from food to the service and to the settings and vibes. We were a little late but rang ahead to advise and they were perfectly accommodating and understanding with no issues. From the very first seconds of being there, it felt like there was nothing that couldn’t be done for us and it stayed like that for the entire evening, despite having to service a huge table of around 20 and the bar as well. We’ve recently just moved to Cardiff and have struggled to find a standout roast but we will now be having a fixed abode here, the food really is that good. And at fantastic value too with 2 courses for £30! We even asked for extra roast potatoes as we were a party of 5 (including toddler) and we were supplied another small bowl without extra charge. I could go on and on but honestly we couldn’t fault anything with Silures and we will definitely be returning, excited to experience it all again.

    Last minute, blind booking yet glad we did. Flavoursome, wide selection of spicy or safe options and catering for dietary needs. A busy jostle to the place yet friendly and efficient service. Thanks for a great night out.

    What an experience, travelled over to Cardiff from Bristol just for this. First time for my wife and I and we were not disappointed. The food and atmosphere etc were amazing. The only thing that let it down was we seemed to be rushed. We savored our "small plates" meal and as soon as we finished them, our main courses were delivered even before our table had been cleared of our "small plates". I know this was a small thing, but it did detract a bit from our experience, hence not giving a full 5 star review across the board.
