Bedwellty House and Park Tredegar in Blaenau Gwent

Visited for Sunday lunch after a trip to the Bevan Stones. Very short menu but our waitress was knowledgeable and helpful. Me and my wife chose the beef and it was excellent. Two very large slices of good quality beef, cooked perfectly. Came with a huge Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, carrots, peas, broccoli and gravy to die for. We didn’t have starters but the puddings were very good and two courses were more than enough. Altogether excellent!

Went to Tredegar to research the old ironworks and see Bedwellty house so popped in to the Orchard tea room for lunch. What a lovely little place! There was plenty of light bites to chose from and we chose the chicken curry and chips which was delicious and well worth £6.99. My husband enjoyed the hot minestrone soup and roll for £3.50. The room was light, clean and pleasant with fresh flowers on all the tables. I am sure in the summer with the door open and the outside tables for sitting it would be really nice. Must say the say the two ladies working there were lovely, helpful and friendly. Would love to go regularly but it’s a bit far to go from Cardiff!

Awful, cold looked like school meals rip off for what we paid. Go to witherspoon, cheaper and nicer. Staff couldnd have been trained, ignored when we told them it was cold and couldn't eat it,my p.ate went back untouched and no response or apology disgusting

Visited Bedwellty House in Tredegar on a Saturday afternoon. It was extremely busy with a wedding and large hen party group having afternoon tea. We had lunch in the Orchid house tea room overlooking the park. The menu was limited that day due to the wedding. However, what we had to eat was lovely and well presented. Some of our group finished off with jam and cream scones. The coffee was very nice. The service was excellent. We were very impressed and look forward to returning soon. A lovely afternoon.

Came here twice during my brief stay in Tredegar for tea & snacks each time. The staff are excellent, the service fast & efficient. They had a selection of cakes including a special offer cake each time we went custard slices the first time & black forest gateaux the second both of which we tried & were delicious. There was a small food & crafts market on Sunday afternoon of which we bought plenty so the cafe opened an outdoor service area doing hot snacks of burgers, hot dogs etc. Along with ice creams & cold drinks as well. There was also an art exhibition & the park itself is lovely to walk around on a nice day sunny day.

I would give the afternoon tea 7/10. Plenty of cakes including a scones, jam and cream. Could have done with one or two more savories. Had to keep asking for refills of tea and coffee. No checks from the staff to see if everything was OK. However the staff were pleasant when approached. Lovely surroundings. Tables needed clearing a bit more quickly.

There were a few things that made this experience very disappointing. Firstly, the service is poor. Very poor. Despite booking a vegetarian afternoon tea, a regular tea was brought out and then we had to wait for the correct (pre ordered) tea to be brought out. One member of the party doesn't like afternoon tea so when we prebooked the vegetarian afternoon tea we asked if he could have something different and ordered him sausage and mash. When it was brought out it was disgusting. It was luke warm and the gravy in the gravy boat had been left to stand for so long it was one big glutinous lump. It was sent back. The replacement was warm at least but the mash potato was dry and the sausages were tiny cocktail sausages. We went to the serving counter and ordered a glass of water, a fanta and a hot chocolate which then took 40 minutes to come. The hot chocolate had no cream or marshmallows despite them being ordered. The hot chocolate wasn't returned as it would have taken another 40 minutes to rectify the problem. The rest of the food was just ok. Not awful but nothing to write home about.

Really lovely venue, and a beautiful afternoon tea for my daughters baby shower. The staff were lovely and very helpful, I would definitely recommend. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

Attended a wedding reception here yesterday. It was amazing. The grounds are second to none and fabulous for photos. The food and service were excellent. The room was beautifully decorated and it is a bonus to have the outside covered area too which was lit up at night. Just a small gripe would be the limited amount of parking inside the park but nevertheless there are public car parks at both ends of the park. It would be great if they also offered accommodation within the park as an added bonus for the future.

This is a lovely park intelligently managed and the flowers all seasons are lovely x also woodland animals include nuthatch bullfinches, squirrels, robins, frogs toads, wrens and of course ducks. The house looks appealing within the grounds and the tea rooms are supposed to be lovely also although in lockdown closed for now.

I greatly looked forward to this having booked well in advance but came away a bit disappointed. The sample soup was really nice and well seasoned, as was the staff member that served us. There were far too many very very rich items and not enough sandwich fingers. Not a lot of the sweet items seemed to be homemade, which was a shame. We waited forever for the scones and then had to go and ask for them and more tea, and they weren't very fresh after all that. We didn't eat the mince pies or the cupcakes as they didn't look that appetising. The actual tearoom was really nice and inviting but next year we will go somewhere else.

Would like to congratulate Bedwellty Park tea rooms on providing an excellent Festive Afternoon Tea yesterday. Great value, well prepared, lovely detail and the kids tea... well thought out, great choice. Much better value for money than Celtic Manor that's for sure and much friendlier staff. We'll done all 👍

We had lovely cuppa tea and some cake here after being at the park, lovely clean place to eat friendly staff

excellent food and good service,nice surroundings set in bedwellty park,would recomend to anyone,FIRST CLASS.

After tubing at the Festival Park myself, my daughter and her friend popped in to Bedwellty Park to have lunch. Unfortunately we hadn’t booked so they couldn’t squeeze us in. Pity because the Sunday lunch menu looked very good.

A lovely place been before but disappointed yesterday. There was too much going on there Sunday lunch, teas a christening also doing burgers outside. This resulted in us feeling rushed. Our soup was boiling nearly burnt my mouth. Lunch was ok but not hot enough and had to wait ages for dessert. . I just think they had too much going on there with the result Sunday lunch wasn't as good as usual.

We stopped here for lunch and tea and had great fun talking with the server about local history. So we followed up and watched a video about their local political hero. Thi provided good insight about the impact of mining on the history and development of the area.

Cath organised our recent visit and everything was perfect. An amazingly venue which oozes local history.

table awaiting with our name on it in a certificate style really attentive start to a fab lunch.thnx guys and staff.

We booked a Platinum baby shower here yesterday for 16 people. The room was beautifully decorated, the food was lovely and nothing was too much trouble for the staff.

Had afternoon teas here several times and it was lovely staff so helpful . Took my mum over during the school holidays expected it to be busy but had nearly a hour wait for food and felt so sorry for the staff really lovely and helpful just needed more of them they were rushed off their feet .should have more staff on over the school holidays.

We visited here today and was very disappointed , the ponds were covered in algi and on top of that cans and plastic cups. This is not good for the wildlife, it should be removed and cleaned to encourage ducks and other birds to use and be able to breed. Its such a shame and such an eyesore. We won't visit again until it's been cleaned, makes you wonder where all the millions were spent on over there, the fountain had seen better days as well.

It's absolutely beautiful in the cafe in bedwellty house tredegar will definitely go again great view from cafe window you can eat inside or out

Excellent venue very friendly lovely food and atmosphere would highly recommend for any occasion. Cafe lovely too

Nice setting, had afternoon tea for a large group of us. The cakes were all quite nice although to much for me and could of done with a few more sandwiches. Staff were very helpful always topping up tea/coffees and we had a pleasant afternoon. The roast lunches being served looked lovely and would visit again to try one.

Works Christmas lunch yesterday and you could not fault it. Everything was cooked perfectly plenty of choice and the meals were plentiful, no skimping on veg and gravy, would highly recommend.

I readily accepted the invite to the special afternoon tea, having been before and enjoyed it. On arrival we were each given a ticket, before being shown upstairs by a waitress dressed as a Hogwarts pupil - great start. A full size cut out of Hagrid greeted us at the top of the stairs, with Severus Snape just around the corner directing us to the "Great Hall". The tables were decorated with Daily Prophet tables cloths, with menus printed to resemble the Marauders Map - absolutely brilliant! The lights were hung with "floating candles" - such attention to detail. The food was all Harry Potter themed, starting with pumpkin soup, and there's even a golden snitch to finish. absolutely wonderful! Well done Bedwellty House.

My friend and I took our girls along for afternoon tea here on the weekend as they do a special 'children's afternoon tea' as well. Children's tea consisted of sandwiches, crisps, mini pizza, fruit kebabs, mini sausages, jelly and a whole range of yummy cakes. They also got a little champagne glass filled with smarties and a fairy cake when we were served our scones. Adults tea was also very good with the usually savoury and sweet treats. Very enjoyable, kids loved pretending they were princesses with their champagne (lemonade in champagne glass!) Staff were also very friendly and reasonably priced. £9 children and £14 adult.

Visitaba a unos amigos en Tredegar durante el fin de semana y reservamos una mesa para comer el domingo. Qué comida super! 3 de nosotros tuvimos carne asada y 1 porciones de pollo asado, vegetales y amplio abundante para ir con. Había incluso recién elegido de habas y habas directamente desde el jardín y estaban deliciosos. Los postres eran deliciosos! Especialmente la tarta deliciosa. Todas las chicas que servían eran bastante jóvenes y siempre tenía una sonrisa en su cara y dispuestos a ayudar. Un crédito para el establecimiento. Esperábamos poder ver la gran concierto banda fuera en el quiosco, pero como el clima era un poco inestable que celebró el concierto en el interior. No es el mismo ambiente posiblemente pero sin embargo un excelente par de horas de entretenimiento! Como una pena que vivimos tan lejos como nos volveríamos a menudo estoy seguro!

Lovely meal and atmosphere sunday lunch second to none highly reccomend a visit be wise and book ahead

Everything about the lunch was lovely.Plenty of choice, even had two different gravys served. We are looking forward to going there again.

Una experiencia fabulosa para una comida de domingo.

We visited on a Friday lunch time and one of us had a fish finger sandwich and the other fish and chips

Cuatro de nosotros fuimos para el té de la tarde a finales de marzo y me decepcionó un poco. No nos dimos cuenta en el momento de un lunes fue comprar uno y la segunda a mitad de precio, pero nos pareció que era el té de la tarde en el barato. La sopa estaba muy gruesas, los bocadillos estaban bien, pero el resto fue muy pobre y el servicio muy lento.

Este lugar tiene una tremenda historia que es muy apreciado por la gente de Guillermo. Hemos visto muchos cambios en el edificio y su uso en los últimos años. Hablar con gente que gratos recuerdos de la piscina al aire libre, desaparecido de las pistas de tenis y soleadas tardes de domingo alrededor de el quiosco de escuchar bandas locales colliery.

We visited last week for afternoon tea as a birthday gift! The selection of cakes,sandwiches and pastries were lovely and we were also very surprised with the soup! Lovely touch! We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon tea however, the only downside was how overcrowded/ noisy the room became when classes/ activities were finishing! We would return.

Just visited with friends and it was possibly the best afternoon tea we've had and definitely worth the money. Started with a small bowl of soup and bread, followed by a lovely platter of savoury and sweet treats and finally scone, jam and cream. Plenty of tea and coffee on offer and a glass mulled wine. Delicious. Will certainly be returning

Really enjoyed all of the food- completely delicious and not too much in the cream tea. Only issue was that my pot of coffee was instant rather than the good stuff. Beautiful location.

I've been here several times! most recently for afternoon tea as a baby shower - food was fantastic and plentiful. Staff can never do enough for you! I don't drink hot drinks but staff were on hand to offer alternative cold drinks. Beautiful grounds and the perfect location for a special occasion!

Lovely location and venue but let down by poor stock control & slow service. Had to look for a menu and when ordering found out most of the items were not available. Bear in mind that this is a Saturday on a Bank Holiday weekend & having limited selection is poor management. Ended up asking what food was available :(

To celebrate our Ruby Wedding we decided to have Sunday lunch at Bedwellty House. We had never eaten there before but 6 adults and 3 children had a lovely three course lunch. Between us we tried all 4 starters and everyone was pleased with the food on offer. The main courses were roast beef or chicken and both meats were cooked to perfection. The vegetables were varied and well cooked, some were from their own garden. We tried 4 of the 5 desserts on offer and these were again lovely.The coach house restaurant was full and booking In advance is advisable. The staff were young, local and very pleasant. We will certainly rerun and we could recommend Sunday lunch to anyone.

Had heard and read, very good reviews of afternoon tea at the orchard house tea room.So was really pleased, when I received a voucher for afternoon tea. The tea room is set in the beautiful grounds of Tredegar park. We had a warm welcome, the service was good. The sandwiches and cakes were all fresh, but make sure you leave room, for a fresh cream scone.

Went here last Saturday for a wedding. I must say that it is a fantastic place to have a venue. The food was amazing everything all hot and fresh for the reception meal and the hog roast in the evening was exceptional. Staff here work extremely hard and all have a smile and cannot do enough for you, drinks were fairly priced too. Would definately recommend if you were looking to book

Firstly my sisters wedding was held at this venue absolutely wonderful place and go out of their way to make the day special for everyone, they couldn't do enough for everyone attending thanks to all the staff for a wonderful special day Secondly we went for Sunday lunch the following day I must say it's one of the best places to go for Sunday dinner loads of food and 3 course for £12.95 can't fault it at all Will be returning as a family soon for more Highly recommend to book and visit for a Sunday stroll around the park and Sunday lunch.

Lovely setting for a wedding beautiful rooms. The food is excellent.. staff friendly can't do enough for you

We were given a warm welcome and shown to our table,on the table was personally named menu,s,for our party.one course £7.00 two courses £10.95 and three courses £12.95.we skipped the starter in case we got to full for lunch! We all had roast beef which had been freshly carved with roast potato and Yorkshire pudding,with a selection of veg and cauliflower cheese,three of us had dessert chocolate fudge cake,Apple and blackberry crumble,and trio of chocolate,the waitresses were very pleasantOverall a very homely cooked meal,and loverly service,can't wait to book again

I have visited the Orchard House tea room on several occasions and have always enjoyed their afternoon tea.The tea just keeps coming and the staff management keen to know that you have enjoyed your tea.The atmosphere is relaxed on on a summers day its nice to sit outside chat and watch the world go by.

We recently held my daughters baby shower at Bedwellty house.We were a group of 15,given a room to ourselves.We had afternoon tea which consisted of a mini bowl of soup,4 different types of sandwhich fingers,a wedge of corned beef pie,a variety of cakes and cheesecake,a scone with jam and fresh cream and as much tea and coffee as we could drink and a glass of pros eco.Service was excellent.I also attended my nephews wedding here.The service was held in the bandstand,so a lovely setting in beautiful grounds.The reception room was decorated beautifully and there was a softplay area with bouncy castles and ball pits for the children.The food was lovely,we had afternoon tea and a delicious hog roast in the evening.A delightful venue for any occasion.

we went for an afternoon tea, there was a choice of lord or lady teas, one is sweet and the other savoury, we had one of each which was very nice and fabulous price of £12.50 each.

My wife and I were invited to a wedding at Bedwelty House. The venue was small but beautiful. The food and drink there was excellent as well as the service. The venue is set in the most beautiful grounds. It was all refurbished a few years ago and believe me when I say it is stunning. This is why its a 5 stars from me.Thank you Bedwelty House for an amazing evening.

Beautiful setting to have afternoon tea. 2 types of tea on offer. Lady Tredegar which is finger sandwiches with predominantly sweet treats, and Lord Tredegar for those with a savoury tooth (more savoury, less sweet treats). Plenty of choice. Even a mini dish of soup to start. Always served with a smile. At £12.50 I would recommend. Eaten in a conservatory, bathed in natural light. The beautiful park grounds then offer the perfect opportunity for a gentle stroll, while taking in the lovely scenery and local history.

Some people think of Blaenau Gwent as a down at the heel area and perhaps it has seen better days. However, inside Bedwellty Park, Tredegar it’s all spick and span. The Orchid House Tearoom is excellent, serving top quality food, at a very affordable price (Just wish they did scampi all the week and not just on Fridays). Well worth a visit.

The Sunday lunch is very good and less than £15 for 3 courses. There was plenty of food and you could also ask for extra. They also had home made Yorkshire puddings which is unusual these days. Well worth a visit

Nice food , and nice surroundings, great in summer and warm, decent priced food, and pretty quick service from friendly staff,

The foodis excellent, good value and the afternoond teas are fantastic value, the park is well worth a walk around and the house is worth a tour to see the old council chamber and other rooms.

Came here with friends for an evening meal. Traditional food in lovely surroundings, will definitely visit again

Anazing day in stunning surroundings. Staff are so friendly and efficient. Service was second to none. Beautifully decorated and food was delicious. Highly recomend for your special day

Called in for lunch with my sister and nephew,we only had a bowl of soup and children's fish fingers,chips,can't believe how cheap it is lovely restaurant pleasant staff,clean toilets,been lots of times and always fab plenty of people in the restaurant and outside area.Gardens are a delight,lovely sculptures,flowers,band stand,this is a place to be really proud of

I visited the park on August 7th 2015 to have lunch with some friends and children . We ordered tea , drinks and I ordered some pasta along with my friend who ordered pasta and chorizo . Mine arrived and when another 45 minutes had passed and my friends had still not arrived I asked the waitress why to which she responded we have run out of chorizo can I get you something else . She then ordered the same as what I had which took a further 45 minutes to arrive . They did provide a free can of fanta but there was no offer or sorry for anything else . There was two weddings whilst we were there so it is understandable that things were busy however this isn't an unusual event and i feel they need to prepare better in for busy periods to ensure all customers have a good service not just some However the grounds are lovely to walk around and next time we will probably wait to do nice weather and take a picnic to have in the park . Will visit again because of it being local and easy but hope service will improve ....

not somewhere to go for afternoon tea. dirty cups, slow service, tea served before food. would not recommend.

What a great place to spend a summers evening. It was the second night of the new 'Bistro Nights' and what a pleasant surprise. The staff were very welcoming and pleasant, the menu, although not huge had something for everyone. We sampled the pasta, burger, hunters chicken, crumble, cheesecake and it was all home cooked and well presented. Very reasonably priced and very good. A little gem and would definitely visit again.

The restaurant has been redecorated and the whole house is under management of a Trust. The Restaurant is excellent, so far this year my wife and I have had Valentines Day Afternoon Tea, Mothers Day Lunch and Easter Sunday Lunch. Service is superb, the staff very friendly, reserved tables have the Customer name clearly shown and the food is really great. Afternoon Tea on Valentine's Day was more than you could eat and served with a pot of coffee each, Lunches can either be one, two or three courses and are very reasonably priced. They are served in the Coach House, which has its own bar and is the building used for Wedding Receptions. Sunday Lunch is available every Sunday in addition to special events. We will certainly go again.

My husband and I got married at Bedwelty House in May 2013, its a beautiful venue set in stunning grounds. My friends and I are able to visit on a regular basis to take our children to the park and have lunch at the cafe. They offer a lovely menu in the cafe at reasonable prices including afternoon tea and have lots of activities on throughout the year for families.

I would recommend this to anybody! The room was set beautiful, with wedding covers on chairs and tables, activities for the children for no cost such as colouring and a live pianist. Next door they were holding activities for children which they could attend for £2/3, including candle making and truffle making.The staff were outstanding and catered for the whole families needs, including vegetarians. Tea and coffee were Unlimited and juice was provided for the little ones in a pot to pour themselves, which was a nice touch.The food on the stands was beautiful and the tea was finished with fresh scones, jam and clotted cream.A wonderful day!! With special thanks to Bec the pretty waitress who took care of us!!

I come here regularity for coffee and a chat. Maybe cake too!Great atmosphere, swift service, and lovely in summer.

I arranged an afternoon tea here with my family for my mums birthday. Sarah who I dealt with over the phone was excellent and very accomodating. When we arrived the staff were all very helpful and friendly. The afternoon tea was very nice and great value for £8.00 per person. We will certainly be back again probably to try the Sunday lunch as that looked very nice to!
