BLOK Restaurant in Rhondda Cynon Taf

We’ve just had an amazing night at The BLOK in Lanelay Hall. We are local and had no idea just how special the experience would be. The food was amazing and the staff were incredible, they really looked after us and knew about the menu. Will definitely be going back

Service was second to none. Layla was great very attentive and polite. Would definitely recommend and will be looking to plan another visit soon

We were booked in for a night at the hotel as well as a table at blok restaurant. Not only was the food exceptional but the service was fantastic, special mention to our server Bonnie who not only catered to all our needs but was also a shining example of the calibre of staff they employ at Laneley Hall. Fantastic night, beautiful food, couldn’t have asked for a better birthday celebration. P.S Bonnie is class !

We had Layla serving us and she was amazing! She was so lovely and polite and couldn’t do enough for us! The food was incredible and we’ll definitely recommend and will be returning!

Wow! Food was absolutely amazing! What made it even better was the service we received for our waitress Bonnie. To say she went above and beyond would be an understatement. All our needs were catered for, her knowledge of the menu was outstanding. Bonnie made our experience. Would definitely recommend blok and we will be back!

We had a fantastic time. We were well looked after the whole stay especially in the BLOK restaurant by the Food and Beverage Manager Amedeo and his staff, especially when I sprung my last minute engagement on them. The Head Chef is an expert at his craft and served up food to die for. The whole experience was amazing, don’t miss out on the spa and the pools they have on offer as well. The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. We will be returning very soon!

We visit Blok for the first time today! We had the tomahawk steak which was incredible!! It was better than pasture. We also had great service , thanks to Carmen and Ffion. We will be back!! Great birthday meal

A beautiful meal in a lovely setting - the restaurant is beautiful. Was a DJ playing nice chill house music too which was a good touch. Our waiter Brandon was really nice and helped recommend the best bottle of red for us. Only reason it’s not a 5* is the steak felt a little over-done but we should have said and I’m sure it would’ve been perfect the next time!

Had an excellent meal, the service was brilliant, really attentive staff, food was excellent. Can’t fault it; big shout to our waiter Louis who was excellent. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Perfect surroundings, food was amazing . Service was very attentive, and special shout out to our server Brandon 👌👌 great job . Friendly , funny and very knowledgeable about the food and wine . Great night all round

All food was lovely apart from the fillet steak which is one of the worst that I’ve ever had! Ordered medium/rare and it was extremely over cooked with very little to no pink inside and very dry. Extremely disappointed and expected better based on the prices the expectation of ‘fine dining’ food. Went elsewhere the following week, ordered the same food that was £10 cheaper and it was cooked to perfection!

Great services, very attentive. Lovely atmosphere. Delicious food 10/10. Would recommend the Cod and Steak, both gorgeous.

Beautiful food in a lovely location. Staff were excellent and attentive to our needs. Very busy as a wedding was going on but the staff kept it calm and comfortable. Food really was delicious. Highly recommend the cauliflower balls. Yum!

Food and service is great at this place could not recommend it more. Will definitely be back. . Ferne was our server, she was polite, attentive and very friendly. Hence why the service was as good as the food. Loved it .

We had a really nice lunch little bit pricey but worth it. The staff were very welcoming and efficient, even though it was really busy

What an amazing experience we had at the Blok..The food was delicious, a work of art!..scallops to start 🔥🔥..Carmen thank you for making our dining experience perfect with your friendly, professional approach..Jake from the moment we stepped into the bar your welcome was second to none, also heard you speaking Welsh to customers, you were amazing..will definitely go back..

Fantastic !! Great service and attentive staff. First class food, plenty of choice and cooked to a very high standard !! Complements to the chef who clearly knows how to cook a steak to perfection ! Ferne was extremely attentive without being over the top. Perfect experience

Delicious. Lovely food. Plenty of it. Outstanding service. Plentiful food. Didn’t think would be full but very full by the end of the meal.

Went for Sunday lunch ,very disappointed they advertise a lovely menu for Easter however when you get there you get a piece of paper with very limited menu ... Starters weren't good at all ... straight from fridge to table was too cold to eat Sunday lunch itself was OK very average..I didn't stay for dessert due to been disappointed with the rest of the meal .. nothing worse than looking forward to a menu and when you get there nothing on the menu advertised available... waiting staff were very nice and couldn't be faulted .

Fantastic service and stunning food, can’t fault. We had Porterhouse steak which was cooked beautifully, exactly as we requested. The starters, desserts and wine we just as great!

A lovely dining experience, the restaurant area is beautiful and the service was incredible. Food was stunning and well priced for the experience and quality you get! We was served by Brandon and he done a lovely job of checking up to make sure we were happy.

The night started really well with our waiter being very attentive. It went downhill from here as our waiter seemed to disappear. Half of my husbands steak was inedible as it was gristle and fat, and a pile was left on his plate. No one asked us if our meals were ok, and only when our plates were collected my husband commented to the waiter that was the worst steak he has ever eaten. There were other issues with the food, but we just let them go. We were not offered a drink for 45 minutes, or asked about desserts or coffee, therefore decided to get the bill and leave. The Maitre d, handed the bill saying she had removed the steak from the bill, there was no apology, it was like we had dared to comment about a poor steak so we were completely avoided. I asked that the service charge be removed as we had not received any service since mentioning that the steak was poor. Overall Poor service, Food overpriced and not tasty.

Booked on the off chance there was a space, and from my experience I do highly recommend. The restaurant itself, the food, drinks and the service. Our waitress Lauren was attentive but not overly, and the restaurant was set up giving everyone enough space. The menu was enough, with a good range. The cocktails were good and made as they should be, pornstar martini with passion fruit liqueur. At the bar Steve was making the drinks after we had our food. Both the bat and restaurant are beautifully set up and what a good little gem. Amadeo left us some cards to right a review and very deserving.

Staying at lanelay hall for my wife's birthday and we booked Blok for our evening meal. Throughout our meal our waitress Ferne was patient, attentive and very helpful and knowledgeable with recommendations and helped make the evening special for my wife. The food was exceptional and highly recommended and a perfectly cooked steak speaks volumes in my book

Beautiful evening for my husbands birthday. Excellent service from Brandon. Will definitely recommend and return. Thank you.

Great first time dining here, what a restaurant! Amazing service from Lauren, Ffion and Amedeo! Food was outstanding and the cocktails by Steve were fab! Would 100% return with friends and family

We had a great experience, stunning food and outstanding service from Ferne and Jacob . Will definitely be recommending to family and friends.

This time I was with my friends on her birthday. Received warm welcome with complementary drinks. Excellent service and food and environment. Especially Amedeo who looked after us. Amazing and friendly guy. Thanks to give us a wonderful evening.

We visited Friday 1st March. Service from the staff you couldn't fault. However, the food was overpriced and in my opinion, very poor. Had the scallops for starters. Came in a dish wish a luke warm foam and 3 scallops. £15 couldn't quite believe it. I then had a blok burger, which was absolutely rammed with leek which was so overpowering that you couldn't taste anything else. The bun was like mush after one bite. Had the mac & cheese side, which was quite dry, hardly any flavour other than salt We shared the parmesan chips, which again was well over seasoned with salt. My partner had the duck, which she did enjoy however has been up most of the night being sick. I can honestly say that it was a very poor dining experience. It is ridiculously overpriced, and the food is so wrong. I will not be returning not even if I was given a free voucher to eat there

Tomahawk steak was amazing, really enjoyed the starters, and sauces that came with complementary. Service was excellent, we were accommodated even when we booked the wrong at a very late time.

We had such a lovely evening at Block, delicious food! We had the steak and the Gnocci and meringue for dessert and we very pleased with the quality of the food. The staff and our waitress Ferne were so lovely too!

The restaurant is beautifully styled and furnished and has a wonderful ambience without being stuffy. The staff, especially Ferne were friendly and attentive. The food from start to finish was outstanding! Loved the fact you could see into the kitchen with the chefs hard at work. Quality of ingredients were second to none. An amazing experience so we absolutely will be back!

We had a fantastic sunday lunch today. The venue, atmosphere, service and food were all outstanding. Particular thanks to our waitress Layla who went above and beyond to look after us. It was a pleasure to have such attentive service.

Perfect date night location, Brandon was a brilliant waiter everything he recommened was amazing Will be back Thankyou

If I could give it a 0 I would, me and my boyfriend went out for my birthday and as he bit into his steak there was a finger nail. Staff was apologetic and gave us another one but still charged us full price . Will not return.

Complimentary appetisers & sides with main course. Amazing communication with restaurant staff and kitchen. Food 10/10.

Our experience was amazing, staff were very kind and considerate with our requests. Brandon was our waiter and he was superb. Everything was delivered in a timely manner and overall 10/10. Will definitely come back.
