The Hand Post Hotel in Cardiff is tucked away in a charming spot – I can't give you an exact address as I'm terrible with directions, but it’s worth seeking out. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly; there's a real sense of community in the air. Looking through the photos online, I noticed the space features warm lighting and plenty of natural wood, giving it a cozy, inviting feel.

Their menu is a celebration of Caribbean flavors, with dishes that are both familiar and exciting. They have all the classics, jerk chicken of course, but also some really interesting takes on traditional dishes. One photo shows a perfectly plated curry goat, and I was told the fish is always exceptionally fresh. I'd definitely recommend checking out their specials board – they seem to change frequently.

What makes The Hand Post special is its genuine warmth and the obvious passion the people running it have for their food. It's the kind of place perfect for a casual weeknight meal or a celebratory dinner with friends. If you're looking for something different from the usual Cardiff fare and love authentic Caribbean cooking, you should definitely give it a go.
