TESTIMONIALS

Fantastic vibe for a new bar, busy busy when everywhere else is okay. Rian and Jordan are personable hosts and the atmosphere is addictive. Check it out for a swift half or more 🙂

By Dom Coleman

Went to this pub last Saturday and I definitely had the best time of my life. The two owners Ryan and Jordan and the friendliest bunch of people I’ve ever met. Will definitely return to this venue as they have events on every week!

By David Griswold

Jordan and Rian were super personable and great hosts. Given it has just opened, they have a great selection of alcohol, an amazing atmosphere and a really cool nautical decor. If you are looking for a calmer, more enjoyable spot to frequent in Ashley Cross, I would urge you to try Cardinals.

By Adam Edwards

I would definitely suggest anyone to go here if you’re visiting Ashley cross! Such a homely vibe and the drinks are next level yummy. Jordan is the best host and makes everyone feel welcome. Definitely give this place a go if you’re in the area!

We came to the Cardinal after a nice day in Bournemouth and we had an exceptional welcome. It’s very relaxing and their expresso martini was the best I have ever had. This place is such a little gem. I encourage you to go. Best place, best staff and a super duper vibe.

Popped in for a drink on the way home on a Sunday. Warm welcome and great atmosphere.
