Iron Horse Inn is a pub in Cardiff. We don't yet have enough signals to confirm whether dogs are allowed. It's best to check with the venue before visiting with your dog. Just 750m away, Cardiff Oval No.3 is a great nearby park for a walk with your dog.

Absolutely amazing I loved the service and food Really good deals especially lunch deals and taste amazing too With singing up and getting a $10 voucher we ended up only paying $5 per meal as lunch specials are $15 Can’t go wrong Highly recommend signing up and getting a good deal ahha

I came here for dinner with a group and it was a very pleasant experience. The food was nice, and the ambience was fine, but what really elevated it to a whole other level was how friendly and kind the staff were, particularly the bistro manager (I think that was his role). I would certainly gladly come back; it was overall a really good experience and the staff made it so. A lot of venues could learn a lesson here about how important great staff are to customers and the business alike.

Went there today ,Thurs. For lunch with 4 friends, excellent food, steak cut like butter, all agreed great, had $15 lunch, with that you get free cake and coffee. Which was also very good. I'd go back anytime.

Have been to the Iron Horse plenty of times for meals and has always been nice went tonight absolutely horrible they had 1/2 lobster chips and salad on special was meant to have garlic sauce no sauce lobster was so overcooked it was crunchy and dry and a snitty was ordered it wasn't a whole snitty just pieces put together and it was also overcooked bought it to the attention of the staff member who served us and asked if he could address it to the chef as they do need to be told staff are great pub is good. meals not so good this time

Nice atmosphere and the meals were a decent size. Great value for money. I visited the Iron Horse on a weekday and the food came out fairly quickly considering the amount of people here. The staff were also nice and friendly. Keep up the great work!
