Les's Golden Kitchen — Restaurant in Wales

Les Miserable... or at least he will be if he visits here.

It was a rainy day and I found myself stumbling around the Welsh valleys. I was on the hunt for the dreaded Butterman. A strange monster claimed to lick the melted butter from freshly made toast. The swine! The fiend! The dry bread monster of Aberdare!

After a camel back treck across the savannahs of the Brecon beacons and a short Canal journey down the new heads of the valley road I found myself taking a dump (the first one in three days) in Aberdare public toilets.

Relieved, I found myself starving hungry and a short jaunt down the road from Les' Golden Kitchen. I arrived at the front door, plumes of cigarette smoke poured from two people; neigh smoke machines, beside the main entrance. As I approached I convinced myself Darth Vader was about to emerge from the smokey doorway.

I battled through without my trusted penguin skin gas mask and sat at the table only to realise I'd fallen back in time to the 1980s. It was like stepping foot into an episode of 'Stranger Things'. The crumbling interior left alot to be desired.

The waitress was very helpful and friendly. Staff were on the whole, pleasant. That was except for a man looking for Jean Valjean who threatened to bring Russel Crowe out if I didn't enjoy the food. So politely I nodded and said "I can hear the people sing, and they shall hear the rant of this angry man!"

Food was nasty and frozen. I would say cheap as chips, but I feel you'll struggle to find cheaper nastier chips anywhere. Frozen piles of mush. Rancid instant gravy. All felt as if it was courtesy of Chef Mic... rowave.

I paid my tab, tipped the staff as they were the only redeeming quality, and boarded my flying canal boat home.

One member of staff very rude. The wife asked how long the food was going to take, we had been waiting 30 minutes. She was told to have patience. And to stop being so impatient. With that we cancelled food payed for are drinks and left. Do Not Go There Till Staff Have Respect For Customers, and know how to speak to them politely. If you want that sort of service or if you would like a shouting match with staff here is your place to go. !!! Service level -100% Staff -...

Been twice there now with a work colleague and will visit again if im in the area, nice food and friendly enough staff, prices are very reasonable too, we both enjoyed our generous portions. Really don't understand how some people can give a 1 star review for this restaurant, I've had by far worse breakfasts at other restaurants to what they serve here. Give...
