Fairwater Hotel — Restaurant in Wales

As semi-regulars of The Fairwater, the service is the obvious point to mention. Staff recognise and remember preferences easily. On the third visit, "the regular?" became the standard greeting, ordering drinks individually becomes redundant, and the staff become fast friends. Conversational but not distractingly so, and insightful but eager to improve, the staff are, in a single word, wonderful.

The regulars of the pub leave nothing to be desired. A conversation is always waiting to happen, and there is no shortness of acceptance or friendliness.

The atmosphere is astounding, and the new landlord and landlady (at least as of 2024/2025) are endlessly trying to improve it: floral accents, welcoming and homely warm lighting, regular fantastic events (especially the fortnightly quiz/bingo) make a sense of community inevitable.

The quality of food served leaves absolutely nothing to be desired. It's obvious here that food is not frozen or prepackaged, and served with a very particular care. Even listening around the bar, you hear people complimenting the service staff and the cooks. A stand-out conversation for me is someone (who is self-professedly very picky about their food) claiming the food is to die for. No small praise!

My rating of 4/5 for food here comes simply from a rather limited menu. A lot of my and my family's favorite pub foods are not represented on the menu, and thus I cannot sensibly rate the pub on how they present or serve the foods I'm most familiar with. What they do serve, however, is nothing short of fantastic.

The Fairwater historically has a very tainted reputation, quite deservedly so, based on the actions of past landlords. The current ownership (James & Vicky) are unreservedly and unabashedly working simply for the best of the community, and nothing else.

In short, The Fairwater is a great choice for a lone or family outing, even in the...

Havnt been here for years .my god brought back memories. Popped in wirh some old friends who go there regularly and shocked to see the atmosphere was kicking ! Amazing even saw my old friend leigh who was dj on the night the place was packed with lots of bubbly happy people having a great time. Went to bar and was greeted by Lewis of who I also known years and he was happy bubbly smiling just how you should be when working in hospitality or with public always have good vibe about you puts people in good mood Girl member of bar staff was miserable unpolite and quite frankly could feel my mood starting to turn nothing worse than miserable rude person serving you ? I don't get why ? It definatly rubs off !

I am a regular customer of fairwater pub as I live locally. On Saturday the 10th of June, I went there to watch the Champions League final, as they have a big screen and I enjoyed the atmosphere. From the beginning of the game, I was ordering drinks for my family (My partner, 12 year old son and I) At half time (around 8:50 PM) I ordered another round of drinks, which I was served by a bartender. Just after paying, I was approached in a rude manner by a lady who seemed to be in charge and she said “The child needs to be out of this pub by 9:00 PM!” Although I understand that these are the rules, which i was not aware of, It is the rude manner she approached me, giving me and my family 9 minutes to finish 3 drinks! And it is the way that she barged it and raised her voice at my partner! It is not the way you treat local, regular customers! Additionally, she could’ve told me that before I purchased the drinks! Terrible...
