The What Would You Order thread

Have booked a table at this pub in Cardiff for an early dinner next week when I’m visiting the city.

Menu looks interesting, with an emphasis on local ingredients.

Screenshots from the a la carte menu, which we’ll be ordering from.









What would you order :thinking:?

I would order:

the duck rillettes to share

the Welsh Rarebit croquettes to share

the sea bream

Welsh cheese and onion cake (I want to look up a recipe for this)

the thrice cooked chips

sticky Toffee or maybe the cheese board to share (I am clearly going heavy on the cheese!)

The lamb is always so delicious in Wales, the only reason I wouldn’t order it is because I have had it too often here in Canada lately and I’m tired of it.

I look forward to seeing your report!

The Bay Hotel’s Pub looks like a neat place!

I would order the local scampi since I can’t find local scampi easily here, or the crab salad.

If I didn’t order the local scampi, I would start with the prawn cocktail.

Thai fish cakes.

Perhaps the gammon since I can’t find that here, either.

Tempted by the Yorkshire pudding and Cumberland sausages, too.

Would this pub do a good job with their fish and chips? I might order that too, if I came back for a second visit. Enjoy North Yorkshire! I only spent a couple hours in Whitby.

Your Whitby is nicer than our Whitby!

I didn’t make it to Robin Hood’s Bay!

Enjoy!

I will post if the in person menu has changed. I am guessing the Bûche de Noël is no longer an option. haha.

I also won’t be surprised if the Feb 2026 prices for the mains are a little higher then the Dec 2025 prices, the way food costs are going in Canada.

The prices were the same on Feb 1 as they were in Dec 2025.

My friend ordered a mimosa and smoked salmon on a hash brown, and I ordered a cappuccino and a Croque Madame. Nice brunch out.
