Summary: Very slow service, food hot and plentiful.
Arriving around 1:20pm, we checked that food was being served and ordered our meals shortly afterwards. Unfortunately, the food did not arrive till just after 230.We had not been told it would take and hour and the pub had been quiet for the 30 minutes preceding. On asking, w e were told the delay had been because an unexpected 'tea party' had come in - but this was only 3 adults and a young child, and they had received their food by about 1:45 and had finished long before ours appeared.
We both had steak and ale pie, peas and chips. It was hot and a large helping, I won't be eating an evening meal today! The pie was full of meat.. I found the food far too salty, however, and I've been thirsty for hours since. I think this was due to the gravy which i had rather foolishly agreed to be poured over the meal. With less salt, it would have been a very good pub meal.

Noticed there was a cafe round the side so decided to try it this morning with my daughter after Slimming World so although there is an extensive breakfast menu we were really pleased to see there was a lighter option breakfast which was 2 eggs, 2 bacon medallions, grilled tomato and mushrooms plus a huge portion of baked beans and a slice of whole grain bread together with a tea, coffee or a juice for £4.75. It was delicious and didn't take too long even though it was cooked from scratch. Lovely staff and a very pleasant start to the day. Also had the most delicious and humongous Festive Afternoon Tea here just before Xmas, will definitely be back next for the more usual afternoon tea👍

A big thank you to the Llwyncelyn Inn for our lovely meals today. We all thoroughly enjoyed the food. Great service and friendly staff. The new layout and refurbishment of the pub makes it look even better than before. Can't wait to go again. Xx Aberdare Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain Support Group.

Looking for somewhere in Aberdare to have Sunday breakfast after a long run. I messaged them in the week to ask. Very quick reply was Yes. 10am to 12. Must say the 3 of us had a lovely breakfast. Pint of course. Cheers. Mark

Really good service here, the bar lady was more than helpful. My father mentioned a small issue with his meal and he was fully refunded without question. Can't wait for our next visit!!
