Such a lovely place with a calm atmosphere stome walls and an open fire. Or for summer days a large garden..and play equipment for young children. Great homemade food without high prices..

Food was lovely, however at no point did the young girl say the plates were scolding hot, she couldn't hold the food herself, half the food fell onto the table, I went to stop the rest of the food from falling and I burnt my finger on the curry bowl, which was stupid hot. Instant blister!

Dessert came out on a slate plate, bear in mind there are no sides to this slate and I had ice-cream. It was dripping down the sides of the slate before it got me.

Experience kind of ruined really and I'm unlikely to return.

Always a warm welcome in the Pant, food is great and reasonably priced, a real fire goes down well in winter.

Lovely Christmas meal at the Pantmawr Inn today. As per usual. Group of 11 of us and it was absolute perfection.
Staff were so helpful and polite. They all couldn’t do enough for us. They worked so hard and it was busy, they always have a smile for the customers. Perfect 3 course Christmas meal. Definitely recommend the Beef Brisket. Prices are very very reasonable too.
Big thank you to the landlady and landlord Jenny and James for making it a lovely day. You run lovely Pub.

Came here for few drinks with friends on NYE at the recommendation of a close friend to watch the football.
The place itself is warm, cosy, nicely decorated, and has some pretty good screens to watch the game on.
So initial feelings were certainly promising. However having waited 5 minutes without seeing a single person who worked there, we finally saw a member of staff (the biting dog) who immediately shouted at us, saying we couldn’t sit down anywhere unless we had a ticket for the NYE event, fine no problem. She then advised that instead we watch the game outside in the heated undercover section which showed the game, to which we were greatful, and took them up on the offer, again, fine.
But then, it started to go downhill… Instead of serving us at this point, she called out the 2 people behind us in the queue by their first names, and asked them what they wanted. Now it was fairly clear this was a regulars pub, but to disrespect people that clearly to our faces was extremely unnecessary & uncomfortable. We were then served by a different member of staff who was absolutely fine, and then went outside.
20 minutes later however, we decided to go back in merely to get another drink, to which we were stopped almost immediately by a man putting his arm out asking us, “where do you think you’re going”, so which we explained to the bar to get a drink. It’s worth noting at this point that he didn’t introduce who he was, additionally he seemed to be standing next to some friends who started giggling, in addition to what seemed to be his own children.
So at this point, assuming he’d had a few too many, we smiled and just tried to walk past him, at which point to squared up to us and announced that he was in fact the owner, and no one comes in without his say so, was honestly pretty remarkable.
However, staying calm and respectful we explained what had happened above when we arrived, and that we were simply outside watching the game and only wished to get a drink, then return outside.
At this point, the owner had relaxed slightly, however once again made it clear that this was HIS pub, and you don’t just get to walk past him when he asks us a question. Once again I reiterate, this was in front of his children.
Before we were able to continue however, (the biting dog) leaned over a table and screamed that she told us to stay outside as there were no seats for us, at which point the owner then turns around and tells her to shut up as he’s handling it. It really has to be the most unnecessary sequence of events I have witnessed at any establishment.
We were allowed to pass, at which point my friend and I looked at each-other and simply said we won’t be coming back here again.
Just for good measure also, when we then had our drinks, we passed the biting dog who said “I told you I’d make you go back outside”, an absolutely bemusing comment to literal paying customers.

I do want to finally say that I completely understand they were doing preparations for a NYE event, hence why we couldn’t sit inside, however the issue lies with the pure aggressiveness of the apparent owner, and the one member of staff who went out of her was to ruin our nights.

Safe to say we will not be returning here, which is a shame as it is a fairly local pub for us all.

I cannot praise this place enough. Clean, staff are great and the food is second to none and so reasonably priced. It is a gem and definitely worth visiting. We want to go back to the area just to go back here

Superb find on a cosy sunday afternoon! Extremely welcoming and warm service from the young lady waiting (all) the tables. Greetings from Singapore!

Food portions are generous and tasty! Will definitely be back when in wales!

Big carpark too in case you’re here with a motorhome!
