I went in the Marstons the first day it opened and the food was awful IMO


I've only heard good things about it from a number of people especially for the price.
Then again i wouldn't eat at the Ninian if it was free.

It needs knocking down and replaced if I'm honest (prob not cost effective). It's dark, dingy and not very nice. People already have the option of the Ninian and clearly not using it.

He said the food was shit, stop pestering him.

I go in there from time to time but the Forresters is my favourite watering hole. I personally go to all those pubs and have a pint in each, usually can't stand during the f*cking game due to being drunk but I need to be off my f*cking tits to handle the plastic army.

You sound like you're thinking of taking over yourself.

it will never ever be a gold mine, maybe matchdays but the rest of the time no chance, you would really have a problem selling a business plan to the bank, you might have 26 good days a year and that is it

It has failed as a pub for years now, not helped by people buying cans in Tesco and drinking them in the Ninian car park.

Give it 24 months and it'll be torn down and replaced with social housing.

As people have said, there are much better drinking venues on cowbridge rd.
