About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
The Sand Martin sits next to Cardiff City Stadium, making it a convenient pre- or post-match stop. The pub specifically highlights its location for a post-match meal, and CAMRA/WhatPub notes it adjoins the stadium and that on Cardiff home matchdays alcohol is served only with meals—useful to know for planning. It’s also listed by Football Ground Guide among pubs for away fans near the ground, while fan reports say away supporters do use it (albeit with the meal requirement at busy times). With daily food service and a rotating range of cask and keg options, it works as a practical matchday meeting point within a short walk of the turnstiles.

Went out for brunch with family. Wide range of food, primarily lunch items which is expected. Good atmosphere -music in the background, news/sports channel playing. Service was friendly and good, we were served by Charlotte. Food is nice, food came out not too long (~30 min). Menu options are limited for vegetarians but there are options. We'd love to come again.
The service at the bar was poor. Delivery of food even worse. The actual food was the worst. See photos iceberg lettuce leaf impregnated on bun. Don't eat there. Rip off Following the
The first time we came there the staff and the food were amazing. Great atmosphere and very friendly. Then the visit yesterday was just as good and food was just as amazing. My husband had a roast dinner and he cleared his plate. My daughter had the mac and cheese with popcorn chicken same as last visit as she said it was delicious. So we will definitely be regular visited
Charlotte, the manager, and the whole team were incredibly hospitable and accommodating for our large group (around 30 people). I ended up changing more than a few orders, and the staff were so adaptable, friendly, and patient throughout. The service was excellent, and the food was absolutely stunning. We had an awesome time, highly recommend! 10/10!
Great pub food, plenty of choice. All served quickly & hot too. Excellent service, Johnny was so pleasant & efficient. All the staff there were great. It had a quiet atmosphere which is a bit of a shame, people don’t know what they are missing!
