The Church Inn - Old St Mellons — Restaurant in Wales

First visit last night, overall a good impression but a few tweeks would give it a 5. Welcomed as we came in and shown to a table, weirdly there was a large tool box and some venitian blinds on the floor next to us. Nice service from the waitresses but we were left a long time after delivering our drinks and i had to call someone over eventually to take our order. I had the chicken kebab with a side of chips, the kebab was really tasty but i don't think the chicken was cooked fresh to order, more heated and added, all the same it was nice. The chips were really good too and nice and hot. The candle on our table was old and used, a new one that could have been lit would have been a nice touch. Restaurant was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday but the bar area seemed busy, will definitely return to try something else...

Used to be the Bluebell Inn. New Landlady is Nicola. It is very nice and been done out as well to a high standard. New beer garden part under cover and an outside bar and more outside seating as well. The covered part has heaters and the are blanketsfor you to use. Which is a nice touch as the weather is not what it should be at the moment. All New staff and very helpful. First time been since it re opened. Will be going again. Plenty of seating and all Socially Distanced. You need to book in advance at the moment. Well worth a visit particularly if you like Gin. They have 110 different ones to choose from. So that is a lot of visits to do them...

Disappointed, we booked for an afternoon tea with santa and in the end was a lunch, I did call twice after the booking and not one told me nothing obviously if I was thinking to have a lunch I didn't book for 4 o'clock. The santa was good, decorations good, the food too. The service not we order drinks for a few times to get it, nobody ask if the food was OK or if we want pudding... when we when to look for a waiter she told us the kitchen was close? How can be the kitchen close if you have customers eating? After all we have the dessert.evern to pay we need to go and look...
