Aberglais Inn in Merthyr Tydfil

Another fabulous meal at The Aberglais, excellent service as always and our food was absolutely spot on. The team are a credit to the owners and always go above and beyond to make your experience the best it possibly can 10 out of 10 cheers guys

Previous had really nice meals here, but I don’t know whats happened.The usual pleasant atmosphere and warm welcome was not forthcoming. As for the food the garlic mushrooms were like a soup so much so that one of the party asked for a spoon. Chicken several of us had tasted unpleasant and was over cooked. We were asked if everything was ok and despite saying about the chicken nothing was done and to top it all we were overcharged at the end ! Needless to say this is our last visit here. Will not be recommending

Very friendly staff beautiful building great views fantastic food homemade reasonably priced. Nothing to dislike. Definitely would recommend and have returned a few times it is so good.

I have always had excellent food and beverages here. The service is always a joy and the chef knows how to cook a steak! Love this place

We are frequent visitors to the Aberglais. I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal, or a bad experience here. All the staff make effort to ensure you are happy and you have all you need. The food is so good and really reasonably priced. I recently booked the restaurant for 28+ people for my partners 30th birthday in April and everything was so easy, from booking, giving the pre order and everything on the night went smoothly. I even took some decorations to the venue the night before the meal and the staff kept them safe for me. Nothing was too much trouble and they were happy to help. Would always recommend the Aberglais for a welcoming atmosphere, smiley staff and excellent food.

Good choice on menu. Food came quickly and tasted great. Really good value for money. Sat outside so had to order at the bar, otherwise it’s table service. accepts dogs

The food was absolutely Amazing and dessert was amazing , the staff where very welcoming and friendly we will definitely be back

Lovely food! Never had a bad meal here. Can't fault the service and the prices are also reasonable. Can't complain about anything. Definitely recommend.

The food here was so delicious, I had the steak and ale pie which was the nicest I’ve ever tasted the beef was so tender and the shortcrust pastry was perfect. The rest of my group really enjoyed their meals too. If you’re ever in Merthyr try this place you won’t be disappointed. P.s the staff are very friendly too :)

Foods spot on. Portions are big. Prices are reasonable. Why go anywhere else (especially somewhere that rhymes with The New Shmrown)

The food and service here deserves 💯. The best steak I have ever tasted thanks for amazing service Claire Ellie and Cerys for the welcome. More than worth a visit .

We arrived at the pub at 20:35 as it says serving food 12-9. Unbelievable they said they stopped serving. It wasn’t as if it was off the main road either. Took us 15mins from the hospital where we were visiting my father in law. As we left the pub the young girl walked back in the kitchen and laughed and said haha I got rid of them. We were already upset from visiting my desperately I’ll relative, otherwise I would have gone back in and given her a piece of my mind. SHOCKING!!!!!!

First time, friend took me to this pub. Very nice decor and ambience. Clean and very welcoming. Seated quickly, attended too quickly and food came within good time. Food was really good and portions were generous. Thank you, thoroughly enjoyed and will be back.

Superb food and friendly warm service. This was our second trip and we will be back. Food is well priced and value for money.

Beautiful food wonderful atmosphere and excellent customer service the food was lovely the staff where so helpful with my mum being in a wheelchair and they have a brilliant wheelchair access easy to get in and plenty of room will be going back very soon

Went for my 60th birthday meal with family.Fantastic service meals were outstanding from starters mains and desserts everything was served to perfection staff couldn’t do enough.

We went here for Sunday lunch the coronation weekend. Great Roast dinners 3 Beef and one vegetarian chicken pie. Beautifully cooked soft succulent beef with perfectly cooked vedgetables, a lovely way to finish our weekend in Wales. Would highly recomend.

Lovely welcome from staff, very helpful and polite. Food was delicious 😋. Thanks for a lovely evening

I have been waiting months to try this new Sunday lunch and it did not disappoint, food and service, 5 stars!! The best Sunday lunch I’ve ever had. Amazing.

Last minute booking and staff really accommodating. Food lovely- chicken burger superb! Lamb shanks really tasty and a request for vegan curry led to a great chickpea and spinach curry not meant for the menu until next week. Thank you for being so helpful!

Fantastic meal, wonderful staff and a lovely place to visit. Visited with my family for a midweek lunch and we had a fabulous time.

Beautiful food tonight at the Aberglais. The Tomahawk Steak was absolutely out of this world along with the Chicken New Yorker & sides. Compliments to the chef, kitchen staff & waiters. Honestly could not fault anything, would definitely recommend.

This was our first time to this little Gem, gorgeous food with wonderful staff, certainly won’t be our last visit. Can’t wait for our next meal with you.

Recently visited with my family and was looking forward to a normally very good home cooked meal. I always liked the meals as they came with home cooked chips and not a sign of the frozen variety in sight. On this occasion it seems as...

First day of Sunday lunch at the Aberglais today. All 3 courses absolutely delicious. Beautifully presented very tasty excellent service. Had to resist licking the plate. Booking in for next Sunday. I’m never cooking on a Sunday again

Great food and lovely welcome. Perfect for a sunny Sunday meal. Lovely to have this little gem on our doorstep but they never take the local trade for granted. Thank you Cliff Gaynor and all the staff.

My friends and I had a lovely time at the Aberglais. We all enjoyed our meals and the service was friendly. Despite being local, I haven’t been here for a while but we’ll definitely be back again soon!

Steaks were all cooked correctly and tasted great. Service was very quick and friendly. Would recommend.

Lovely food and friendly staff, nothing too much trouble. With 14 of us having lunch, all food came at same time, all meals were thoroughly enjoyed, especially the desserts.

Great find thanks to TripAdvisor. Number 1 rating we'll deserved. Great food at reasonable prices and good friendly service. Wish we had come earlier on our 4 night break. Will definitely return

Haven’t been to this pub for a couple of years, it was good last time we came but now it has moved to another level. Not only was there a great welcome, but the food was 5star with service to match. Highly recommend
