We called in to the Bryncae Arms for lunch. The staff were lovely, making sure there was plenty of room for my daughter who was in a large powered wheelchair and that we were happy with our table. Service was quick and super friendly. Food was amazing! Huge portions, presentation was excellent and all freshly cooked. We weren’t rushed to get out like some places and had a great time. Many thanks and we will definitely be back.

It wasn't busy, but our food took over an hour to come. Drinks order was taken when ordering food. I had to go to the bar to remind them. Beetroot burger was dry and not served with any slaw as advertised. Lasagne was disappointing. Chips were cold.

Had a poor experience today at Bryncae. Used it quite a lot for birthdays etc in the past. Had Sunday lunch which was well below par. Service was extremely slow, meat was overcooked, peas were hard and the yorkshire pudds were all burnt and unedable. It was a birthday celebration and the whole table felt the experience wasn't great. This might be a one off but it will be a while until we try it again.

Amazing food HOWEVER!!! Got greeted with hostility, Then got “given” the bill today without asking for it and was not asked if our meal was ok. Made to feel quite unwelcome. Been to the Bryncae before, and would always recommend however today was my friends first visit and I was embarrassed by the staff’s behaviour. I hope this is a blip on their behalf cause the food, drink and venue are Fabulous. But today was not a day for their staff, which was disappointing.

I had the chargrilled rib eye steak.. It was ruperbly done. I must say the quantity looked less but it was just right. We had the meat platter between the 5 of us. The dessert of fruits and icecream was splendid. we finished all that we ordered. And the price was worth every penny. The staff were friendly and cheerful. Service was quick inspite of having other customers. The atmosphere and ambience was lively.

Food was great and the staff was very lovely and accommodating. However we felt like the land lady was trying to rush us out the door and was impatient when my elderly parents took a while to order. Which was a shock because the resteraunt was basically empty. Didnt know it was the land lady at the time, but we asked a waitress who she was after our meal and she told us that she was the land lady. Other staff were lovely, but the attitude of the manager was disgusting. Don't know if we'll be back again which is a shame because the food was fantastic.

Local to us and a firm favourite. Exceptionally talented cook and great staff. The menus change periodically and everything is home-made. Sunday lunch is probably the best I've ever had in a pub restaurant and I'd happily eat here eery day if my waistline could stand it.

Over priced, bog standard food with shockingly rude service. Pre paid, wrong food delivered to table as it was given to another customer. No offer to replace the meal or even an apology. Surprised at the lack of care or assistanceI, asked politely " please could you sort it". The response was hostile and rude and was further insulted. In an attempt to get some clarity on the situation my husband enquired as to who the manager was......it was the manager who was the culprit! NEVER again will I visit this establishment, and I certainly would not reccomend it ( unless you like a pot luck surprise meal and getting insulted!)

Saturday 28th November 2020 Wedding, Food, Atmosphere, Perfection!Well I honestly don't even know where to start!My husband and I were due to get married and had booked a beautiful wedding venue in Cardiff. As we were in local lockdown we started to panic that our wedding would not be allowed to go ahead. We decided to keep things simple and try to book a local pub.After many, many reccomendations on facebook we contacted Michaela and Dai at the Bryncae Arms for the possibility of a meal after our ceremony. Not only were Michaela and Dai happy to put a meal on for us, they went completley above and beyond to create a wedding reception for us!! By wedding reception I mean the whole works.. chair covers and bows, lovely table cloths, flowers on the tables and even table confetti! Michaela is literally a wedding co ordinator and she thought of absolutley everything! We were blown away when we saw the room and how much effort and thought Michaela, Dai and Staff had put into our wedding!Dai and Michaela allowed us to stream our wedding ceremony to the pub where our family and friends watched us get married.When we arrived at the pub everything was perfect. Michaela ushered everyone into the function room and even introduced Mr & Mrs Gifford! The 3 Course Meal was out of this world! Every single guest had commented on the quality of the food, one cheeky guest even tried to pinch recepies. The portions were huge and very well spaced out between courses. I don't have enough words to describe how good the food was! If you haven't been here for food you need to go!! My parents have already been back for an evening meal. We feel it was a blessing in disguise to book the Bryncae Arms, we really didn't expect a lot considering they are not a wedding venue but I honestly feel we wouldn't have had a better day if we did have a proper wedding venue.All of our guests have commented on how lovely our reception was and how friendly, helpful and attentive all the staff were. They couldn't believe that it was Michaela who decorated the room! Everyone was telling me that I had done a lovely job on the room!When the word 'Wedding' comes into the mix the price goes up! Not at the Bryncae Arms. Michaela and Dai made it clear that they are here for the community and not to rip people off.The Bryncae Arms had only 4 weeks notice for our Wedding and they did an amazing job making sure we had a really special day! We are sooo happy that we made the decision to hold our wedding reception here and we cannot thank everyone enough.Michaela, Dai and every single member of staff - Thank You so much for creating the perfect wedding for us!The only regret we have is not booking with you guys from the start. Thank you all so much!Mr & Mrs Gifford

We used to come here at least twice a week as a couple and with friends but have now stopped coming due to rudeness of staff. Always get turned away when wanting to order food. Long waits at the bar even though there will be no one else there as the bar staff just seem to always ignore us and one always seems to be drunk. Never felt more unwelcome somewhere which is such a shame as we have spent a lot of money here over the last year and now need to find a new local as it just ruins a nice night out when the staff are treating you like rubbish. I wouldn’t even bother wasting your time here as they clearly do not care and there is never an atmosphere. One good thing to say is that even though every time we order the tapas the dishes seem to be different, they are always really nice. Such a shame, would love to come here more often just the feeling like we are intruding in somebody’s house and not wanted is extremely off putting.

Sorry guys. Don’t like writing negative reviews but the food here was poor as was the service really considering it wasn’t busy. Service opened at five to order food. We were first to order yet seemed to wait a whole 45 minutes for the food to come through. A couple got served before us even though they were after us. When the food arrived, we had to wait a further five minutes for the sides by which time the food is getting cold . Unacceptable. Waitress didn’t seem too bothered whether we had our food or not. The quality of the food wasn’t nice when it did arrive. The chicken in the chicken and mushroom pie was non existent and the pieces that did exist were chewy and inedible. There was a order of a sirloin steak but when that came out we all questioned it as could have sworn it was rump steak and I’ve seen a lot of steak in my time to know the difference. It was over cooked when asked for medium rare and the burger was hard and chewy with no onion chutney as to what i requested. These are basic meals and it wasn’t busy at the time. No need for it guys.

Rest assured that my wife and I will be back for more! And the gravy? OMG! Almost................as good as Jayne's.........almost.

Visited for Sunday Lunch ( glad we booked very busy ) and it was lovely from the meat and well presented portions of veg to the gravy and Yorkshire puds . The staff were all very friendly and helpful and will definitely be paying another visit , perhaps for a bar meal .

I booked afternoon tea for 19 people for a friend's baby shower. The chef and staff at the bryncae arms were so helpful and they had no problem in making separate sandwiches to meet people's different dietary requirements. The restaurant area where we were sat was lovely, bright and clean and they had no problem with me decorating the area for the baby shower. I would highly recommend and will definitely return for food again

We've missed a treat with this pub, Saturday lunch was fantastic, proper chips and the fish was amazing, presented with care and looked so appetising, can't believe we have passed this place and not visited before, this deserves an excellent review, the lady who served...

My partner and I visited here as we are new to the area and it's our closest pub. The place has a lovely feel to it and it wasn't busy. The server was very polite. I ordered the fish and chips and my partner had the mixed grill. Took a while for the food to arrive (it appears from the other reviews there is only only one chef). However it was well worth the wait. The fish was cooked to perfection and the sausages on the mixed grill were lovely quality. The lunch time menu is really good value at £6.50 for a meal or £8 for a main and a dessert. We will definitely be back.

We started the with an afternoon tea party which was lovely. The room was tucked away towards the back of the pub and it was well set up. There was a good choice of sandwiches and cakes and the scones were delicious. I didn’t have tea but there were plenty of large pots to go around.

Had a family lunch here yesterday. The fish and chips were perfectly cooked. Would certainly recommend the food here. My grip though is my food being served on a wooden platter, peas in a mini saucepan and chips in a mini chip basket. What is wrong with a plate for goodness sake!!! Arrange the food in a pleasing manner by all means but put it on a plate that has been warmed.

As regular visitors to the Bryncae Arms, we were very excited to come for my birthday meal yesterday evening. As one of the couples we were with had a baby, we booked for half past 6 in order to eat early.When we got there, we had a drink and ordered our starters. They came within about half an hour and were tasty enough. That is when the problems started.The tables around us (who had arrived after us) started to receive their food, and we heard whispers of gone off fish and ham that was 'clearly out of date'.That was off putting, however we continued to wait for our main meals. At 10 past eight, about an hour after ordering, we were told they would be 10 minutes. By this time two tables had left without paying for any of their meals. Quarter to 9 came and still no food. We had no choice but to leave as the baby was still awake and we had been waiting almost two hours.As much as we had a terrible experience with the food/chef, I must say the two girls who had been left to deal with a large amount of disgruntled customers were fantastic and it was by no fault of theirs that our experience was so awful.Absolutely gutted and disappointed as it was for a special occasion and as said before, we are regular visitors of the restaurant and have had nothing but good experiences in the past.Unfortunately we will now be reluctant to book again.

Dreadful evening. Visited here yesterday with family to celebrate my grandson's 5th birthday. There were 6 of us.It started off fine but rapidly went downhill.We ordered 3 starters which came quite soon . There after we waited one and quarter hours with still no sign of our meals. When my husband asked for an explanation he was told the manager had gone home and the chef was on his own in the kitchen and no idea of when food would arrive .

Visited this pub by chance on Saturday afternoon. The welcome was friendly and the pub is well decorated to a high standard. The food was also excellently priced with a lunch time menu for £6.50. Had the liver in onion gravy which was superb. Would highly recommend this pub.

This is my local pub and I go here regularly with my partner and sometimes friends/neighbours for drinks and occasionally food. It has great artists performing on Fridays and Saturdays, the drinks are good and reasonable, the atmosphere is nice and the staff are always friendly. The food is okay, typical pub food for the most part and not a great choice for vegetarians however the garlic bread is probably the best I've ever had!

Sandwiches bulked out with lettuce, tomato and cucumber,then info on the table telling customers, you have an hour at the table unless their not busy,,,more info on the table telling customers if they want the coffee and cake special , which is only on for an hour in the morning you actually only have 45 minutes so they can clear for lunch 😂. So while our sandwiches were ok at £8.50 each,we won't be returning it's not worth the journey to be watching the clock and having the threat of being asked to leave because your time's up at the table

Booked here for one night when travelling down to Cornwall. Was surprised at the lovely setting this place is at. Although we asked for a ground floor room due to my disability, we were given a first-floor room. Luckily, I managed up the stairs. It was a spacious room, with tea/coffee facilities and an ensuite bathroom. Staff were attentive, and the food was also a good standard. With a good size garden and even a dog walking field, this place was ideal for what we wanted. Breakfast the following morning was a decent size, served inside the inn. With eating outside the night before, I didn't see inside. It was a lovely old style pub inside, with the same great staff as the night before. If it wasn't for the room mix up I would have gave 5 stars.
