Cathedral73 - Cardiff

Your afternoon tea was bought for us as a gift. We booked a table one month ago for 3pm on the 6th February 2020. Having made a special journey into Cardiff, we arrived at 2.45pm only to be told that there was no evidence of our booking on your system. After much deliberation with the chef, the lady on reception was able to squeeze us in. After our table was prepared, we were shown to a dark and cold dining room. We were the only diners. The lady was very helpful and we were able to choose sandwiches from a small selection. They were freshly prepared albeit only three fingers each. The tea was fine, but the small scones were not home-made (disappointingly) and the cream was squirty and not as advertised in one of your previous review replies as being clotted cream. We asked about this and were told that clotted is not an option. So we made do with butter. The three small (and we mean small) pieces of cake were dry and bore no resemblance to those advertised on your website. We left most of them. All in all, the worst afternoon tea experience that we have ever encountered. Atmosphere was poor and would have preferred sitting in the warm lounge area.

10 of us visited Cathedral 73 on Saturday for their bottomless brunch package and we were so impressed. The service was really attentive and they made sure our glasses were always full. The food was delicious a really great selection of tapas dishes that were so filling! We will definitely be booking again. Highly recommended and fantastic value for money.

Came Saturday 25th with friends, service was fab food was tasty, gin was bottomless with plenty of flavours even though it was busy there was no waiting time definitely come back soon x

Save your money. Very poor food, and not a lot of it, plus not the menu promised. No sour dough bread and message relayed from the kitchen was that they didn't have any so we wouldn't be having any!! The gin was slow in arriving and the measures were miniscule. I know, we watched them being poured at the bar!! Poor waiter was run off his feet and couldn't keep up with the orders. Left as sober as I entered. The only person slightly annebriated was the guest who had bottomless prosecco because they could not disguise the amount they were giving her. Much better deal for a little bit extra money at The Hilton or Marco Pierre White.

My friend and I came on Saturday afternoon and had the bottomless Gin and Tapas for £20pp.What a bargain!We had the table for 2 hours and there were numerous gins to choose from.The tapas accompanying it were delicious.The staff were very attentive and helpful and we both thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon,would highly reccomend and we will be back.
