The Potted Pig

Why we love it

It’s with good reason The Potted Pig is one of Cardiff’s most respected restaurants. With its atmospheric bank vault setting on the High Street, a biblical selection of gins to wet your whistle and a menu of modern British cooking, Tom Furlong and Gwyn Myring’s restaurant has been described as a “gift to the city” by the eminent restaurant critic Jay Rayner.

Menus change with the seasons but the signature potted pig starter, served with toast and pickles is a mainstay. Unsurprisingly, pork features heavily across the menu with dishes like crispy pigs ear salad with boudin noir and a sharing plate of mustard glazed ham hock also putting in an appearance. For a special meal in Cardiff’s city centre, The Potted Pig is probably without peer.
