Back in 2018, Tommy Heaney and his partner Nikki embarked on the journey of launching their own bar and restaurant in the vibrant heart of Pontcanna, a real gem in the suburbs of Cardiff. Having explored numerous locations, they were captivated by the warm embrace of this welcoming neighbourhood. In a sweet touch, the names on their founders’ wall is covered in those who helped them back when they were in their Kickstarter campaign stages.
When it comes to food, Heaneys work closely with suppliers to ensure a daily range of dishes with the Freshest ingredients, prompting regular menu changes based on the catch of the day or the bountiful herbs from the chef's garden. Furthering their love for strong and seasonal flavours, the drinks list features cocktails that change with the winds, wines from around the world, organic selections, and an array of spirits. The tasting menu style offers guests the opportunity to journey through multiple unique dishes, for a unique dining experience.
The large two floored dining room reflects the personalities of Tommy and Nikki, with dimmed lighting, vibrant music, occasional guest DJs, laughter, and lively interaction from the kitchen. And although it feels pretty fancy, Heaneys has a lively, welcoming atmosphere with a relaxed dress code, inviting guests of all ages to visit. The addition of a beautiful terrace provides a perfect spot for relaxation and enjoyment during warmer days. Pet friendly and accommodating, Heaneys ensures there's plenty of room for your furry companions to join in the fun.
There are always deals on set lunch courses, which are quite impressive - both in taste and affordability. In keeping with the Welsh love of rugby, Heaneys also often do match day offers.
