Coming here to write a review and seeing a load of other 5 stars doesn't surprise me.... we were in the motorhome and called in last night, I fancied a few pints as you do, so asked the landlord if he'd mind if we stopped over the night in the car park. Not a problem. Fantastic ! I can relax ! have few, and order something to eat. We opted for a couple of pizza as this was easier with the option to take out, (because we had our dog and although the place very dog friendly, ours isn't the best)though nothing would have been too much trouble and judging by the food on other customers plates looked superb. We ordered a meat feast & ham & pineapple. Now I'm not a massive fan of pizza, it's ok, I can take it or leave it, but it's not something I would generally order, as they can vary so much from frozen to overly thick and loaded you're never quite sure what you'll get. So when three boxes arrived I was a little surprised but it was explained that the son not used to doing them may have done them a bit on the small side so they did an extra one. Well I appreciate the uphold on standard, but you would have had no complaints! they looked fine to me and were fantastic ! Freshly made, authentic thin crust base (they must have a popper fired oven) proper carved ham, beef and whole mushrooms, I can't remember having better anywhere, probably because I haven't ! Even Piccolino and that's all they do though ! Though I do have a soft spot for their garlic ham & peas.......peas? yeah I know, but until you try it...anyway fantastic, friendly, welcoming and nothing was too much trouble...it might be a while, but a place I'd definitely return. Wish you all the best....
Read moreFirstly, because nobody reads whole reviews, make sure you call in or contact for a reservation as a lot of the tables were booked (along with ours) when we went which shows you how popular this place is despite being a good few miles from anywhere.
Came here with my in-laws, wife and two children for an evening meal.
Firstly when coming to take our order the owner (I think) went to get some more toys for our 1 year old, then when we tried to order a kids meal for him he told us he would sort him a pasta dish as the children's meals are huge (an ongoing issue for parents I'm sure they'll agree!). Our daughter loved the colouring and even "beat me" in a round of dominos. Between courses she loved mastering the mini playground and was an expert before we left!
All the food we ordered was excellent, our daughter loved her Sausage, Chips and Beans and the ice cream.
For myself I ordered the Katsu Curry, and something I wouldn't normally do with Katsu, mix of Chips and Rice. The curry itself was excellent and the fried chicken was better than anything I've ever managed myself with breast! Would definitely recommend it. For dessert I got the Waffle with Ice Cream. Normally I'm not a dessert person, but the toffee sauce made this for me. It all just worked.
On the cask beer side you have 3 Carlsberg Marston cask from their range, the one I had was kept well.
Very glad we booked and would definitely come again, very attentive host thinking about our youngest when many places would have just let us pay over the odds for a full...
Read moreDon't tend to give bad reviews as I always check the feedback from previous guests so to our surprise the food was shocking although the hosts were very nice. Starting with the mussels with the white wine sauce from the "specials" menu, tiny (frozen and second grade?)mussels, and the watery sauce had zero flavour. Garlic bread, stale as anything. Vegetable curry served with boiled veg and some weird looking "curry" sauce on top. "Naan" bread was stale and had a really bad life from the factory that it came from. The steak was unseasoned and not very well grilled, served with soggy chips. Kids fish and chips saturated in smelly and overused frying oil, and the worst of all... Steak and ale pie served like in a pool of some sort of red liquid (soup like) with a lid of shop bought puff pastry... End damage with a couple of drinks 90 quid... Sorry guys you need to try harder especially from strong competition from around this beautiful area of Wales 👍🏽 BTW our dishes didn't look anything like the pics from other guests so I was checking and checking again to make sure I don't give a bad review to the wrong place 😳 Just to confirm that me and my family were there, please check your records and match them with the aforementioned menu items -...
