The Islwyn Inn — Restaurant in Wales

Absolutely amazing in all ways and can't wait to come back.

Update: Came back four months later and all is still well... apart from one grumpy waitress and a lack of non dairy milk options for the coffees, (really should be offering at least one milk substitute these days, I think).

Otherwise, I would still recommend the Islwyn Inn for it's good, wholesome food, homely surroundings and, (mostly), warm and friendly staff.

The beetroot wellington is a winner again, and the mushroom hot pot was very nice too. They ran out of cheesecakes so a few of us didn't have dessert (other options were available), but those who did said they were nice. One of our group doesn't eat peas, so the vegetable options were a little disappointing as it left only carrots (excluding potatoes), but the price, at £26 for 3 courses is reasonable.

We would come back again but will bring some milk for the coffees with us...

Were were a party of 16 we booked for 2.30 we arrived only to be told our booking was for 3.30.Not our mistake as time was confirmed when deposit paid. When we eventually got into the restaurant a number of the starters were no longer available and there was a limited number of others. Not good enough! Our main Sunday lunch meals were brought out at 4.55 the vegetables on offer were Potatoes, Swede, Carrots and peas. Not much of a selection. No greens. The food itself was first class 5/5. This wasn't the first time I've had problems with timing our computer club arrived for a Christmas meal only to find the place locked at our booking time of 12.30. we then waited until 2.15 to be served and 3 of our members had to leave before the desert...

First time visiting for Sunday lunch. Definitely not disappointed!! £20 for 2 courses, £24 for 3….

Everything was beautiful. Great portions with nice thick sliced, perfectly cooked meats that literally fell apart. Not your average thin shavings that you sometimes get!

Veg cooked perfectly, chunky but soft carrots and stunning buttery mashed potato.

Service was professional and very friendly.

Both exterior and interior are stunning. Clean, open and cosy. No hustle bustle or bumping chairs against other diners. All staff seem calm and organised, not rushed off their feet.

We will definitely be back again. Keep up the amazing work guys/girls.

Thanks for a...
