Had an absolutely amazing meal yesterday. We took a picky 13yr old for his first hangfire. He loved his meal as did myself and my partner.
Lisa remembered us from our previous visit 10 months ago, that just shows what type of place it is so personable and a great place to eat. Shauna was great and chatty with everyone, I think the other half was a bit star struck.
So all in all a great place to eat and visit and I would highly recommend paying a visit. Book ahead as its worth it.
I literally don’t even know where to begin with how amazing this place was! I went with my fiancé and my father (my father and I are American by the way). My father grew up in Kansas City so he knows his way around BBQ. We were so impressed from start to finish. Amazing atmosphere, fantastic service by Lisa ( she was so friendly and knowledgeable) and the food. TO DIE FOR. Simple, perfectly cooked and literally the best food hands down I have eaten in my 11 years living in the UK and in all honesty better than a lot of American BBQ I’ve had. What a gem of a place. Well worth the 1.5 hour journey for sure! If you have a chance please go here because it’s sooooo worth it!!
2nd visit to hangfire and it was amazing. The food is outstanding and the atmosphere is incredible. By far the best place I have ever eaten in. Already booked again for 2nd August, and we can’t wait. Have to thank the staff who make the experience and atmosphere the best. What a lovely touch being greeted by the owner Shauna who made us feel welcome.
My 1st time at Hangfire this evening for my 40th birthday. Absolutley loved it! Lovely warm greeting from Shauna, lovely atmosphere, decor and general ambience. From the point of booking, to last minute changes in numbers, to the food - 1st class service!
The brisket and burnt ends are to die for!
Can't wait to come back again!
Ps hope you enjoy the cupcake!
This is an absolute must visit! The best ribs I’ve ever eaten!
We enjoyed every single dish we ordered (many!) and the service was both friendly and efficient. So often lately I have been disappointed when eating out but this has definitely restored my faith in the industry. Planning our next visit already. Thanks for being awesome guys.
My family and myself love this place, food is fantastic waitress we had was a little crazy but that's what made it all the better she was so friendly and took care of us like a friend service was great and food was fantastic would definitely be back.....
P.S waitress knew what she was on about with suggestions of the food when we couldn't decide spot on suggestions thank you.
All round amazing. Service was fantastic our server was so lovely I think her name was gem she had an awsome little hack with a high chair for our little baby in his car seat so he was level with us on the table:) the food was so yummy and so filling I couldn't fit in desert � I felt full all night. We really can't wait to go back to try something else ��� I will be booking it today.
Thanks shauna had an amazing evening.
It was stunning food and a friendly service, best place ive ever eaten by far.
Cant wait too return xx
What an AMAZING place!! Fabulous vibe, faultless service and the most beautiful honest food. One of the best places we’ve eaten. Will definitely be returning ��
Well it lived up to everything. Food was amazing!!! Customer service from Gemma was excellent, explained what sauces went best with different meats and the difference in taste by how the food was cooked. Amazing place & will definitely be going back.
Came here for lunch off the back of amazing reviews. Absolutely womderful experience. Extremely welcoming staff and a lovely restaurant. Food was delightful! Some of the best slow cooked meats I have ever had in the UK. Book ahead, restaurant has a long waiting list. Will definitely be returning for an evening meal.
We only had one week in Cardiff, otherwise we'd have visited this place far more often. The atmosphere was great, the service exceptionally good (the owner greets you at the door in a way that makes you feel special and extremely welcome). The food is just too die for. Have the spare ribs! They literally fall off the bone. I eat very little carbohydrates, so dessert was not an option for me. I ordered the Korean chicken wings instead. That is what they must eat in heaven, I'm sure. Everything is first class. The salads, the meat, starters, sweets, everything! This place will see me again, the next time I'm in Cardiff.
Didn't disappoint! I've tried the pop up stall a few times at food festivals etc and I admit I did wonder if the novelty of it all would be a little lost in a permanent premises but boy was I wrong! Food is as impeccable as it has always been and the welcome is twice as warm. Plus I really noticed that unlike many other meat related establishments I didn't leave there smelling like a smoked burger myself - impressive. Menu is meaty as you would expect although there is a token vegetarian choice on the dinner menu that my wife ordered and it looked so delicious I almost wished I'd ordered it myself....almost ☺ I personally can recommend the brisket and burnt ends....delicious. So in short I thoroughly enjoyed my food experience here, the location is perfect and I really hope they continue to flourish.
Amazing food and very nice people that work there can't wait to go again
Very tricky this one. We really wanted to give this 5 but after much deliberation we decided on 4. It was expensive!! The service was good and very friendly with a nice atmosphere, especially on a friday lunchtime (half term). The food was good. The brisket on bread was a little dry and it felt as if the bread was included to fill up the plate. The pork was delicious....but it was pricey. Nice touch with local suppliers being used and meat from sustainable sources.
Great independant meat & southern American BBQ food restaurant, that's won awards & still run hands on by original two owners, who've appeared on TV & have their own cook book.
Note there's often a 3 month wait list for booking tables (& they will therefore likely require a deposit) although it is possible to get walk-in tables sometimes at less busy periods. Just don't expect that even on a week day evening!
The food is all freshly prepared from scratch on site & owners & waitress staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Really adding to the relaxed & friendly atmosphere of the place.
Had been waiting for this visit for a long time and it was worth the wait but something didnt click for me. Maybe a bit more option in the bbq is needed, the starters are good and different... korean chicken was incredible. The burger was good as a package but the pattys could have been a bit better cooked.
The starters are incredible here so make sure you go for the dinner menu as lunch menu doesn't do starters. Great selection of cocktails and you won't find a better barbecue joint in Wales. The ribs and chicken wings are essential to try but for a good all rounder, try the Pit Boss on your first visit. Also the staff are lovely.
Possibly the best steak in Wales, this was the best meal we had in a long time. The service is extremely friendly and the environment is very pleasant.
Absolutely 💯 food was amazing so tasty and cooked to perfection 😋
We were looked after all night by the amazing Gage customer service was superb you made us feel very special 😀
