Very friendly, dogs are welcome in the bar. Lovely open fire, great atmosphere
We haven’t been to the Twnti Pub (aka Tu Hwnt I'r Afon Inn) for a meal since 2016 although it is on our doorstep. We had heard that the food was good under the new landlords Mike Rowe and Cat Becket. So when some of our guests asked where we could all go for a farewell meal before they left we suggested giving the Twnti pub a try. Had a look at their menu on fastbook and messaged them to see if it was current which it was, so we gave it a go.
A Robinson’s pub, so usual Robbies’s ale’s available. We were made to feel most welcome and there was a fire going in the wood burner – happy days. Sat down with a drink and looked at the menu – order taken and the people on a large table near the fire left so we moved on to this table – result! The young lady behind the bar brought us new drinks and came with starters for two of us - Thai spiced cod fishcakes with salad and sweet chilli sauce which were lovely, delicious and light. Main courses came on hot plates and beautifully served two of us had the Sharing Platter for two - tempura prawns, cod goujons, karaage cheese bites, chicken goujons, onion rings, cheese rings, coleslaw, salad and a choice of dipping sauces - bargain at £16 and delicious. My wife had the Hunters Chicken - local breast of chicken wrapped in bacon with local welsh cheddar & BBQ sauce with beer batter onion rings (possibly a tad too much BBQ sauce would have been better with more cheese sauce, but did not spoil the dish). Two of us had the Lamb burger flames grilled 1/4 pounder with mild mint sauce and coleslaw all served with chips but that was our choice, I would recommend doubling up on the patties for an extra £2. All in all the food was great and nice to see local suppliers being used. The service was brilliant and value to money excellent bonus was the warming fire on a cold wet evening. It was a lovely evening a really good choice. Will definitely be going there again, may even try Sunday Roast as this also has rave reviews - many thanks - see you soon. Diolch yn Fawr from Wern Fawr.
Had to query my bill twice as I didn't think £9 a pint was correct. Was told it was. Queried it again and found out there was a till error. Worth asking for a receipt.
Friendly, warm with a log burner and a small menu that seems to allow most to eat from it without issue.
Reasonable sized car park with some camper vans parked up so maybe they rent the space out per night if you want to stay? Worth asking....
We phoned yesterday and booked a table and although the menu was a little smaller we still had a lovely juicy burger. Sean was a great host and couldn't do enough to help us. The lady with the ponytail (forgotten her name, sorry) is very bubbly and delight and I remember her well from last year. Now this place is on our radar we will always pop in when we are in Wales. Thank you x
