The beer selection is fantastic, as is the food. Really friendly staff. Loo always immaculately clean too! Atmosphere is wonderful, and on cold days, the roaring log burner tops it off. A great pub for regulars and visitors alike. If you live a distance away, it's worth making the effort to get here. Kath and Gareth.

First time here for dinner with a friend. I immediately liked the vibe of the front area in the pub. With a roaring fire and dim lighting it feel cosy. Good selection of drinks. Less keen on the back eating area as I felt it lacked the cosy feeling. Ordered mac n cheese for £8.95, which unfortunately arrived stone cold. I wondered if they’d forgotten to heat it. Asked for it to be re heated and it came out scalding. Ok taste. Two options for vegans and for gluten free so that’s good to see. Will visit again but maybe just get snacks to eat.

I'm giving it 1/5 as of of a group of 5, 1 found the food ok. The 2 burgers we had had still frozen buns, and the burgers themselves I'm pretty sure we're the same quality as the 4 for a pound ones in Asda (thin and tasteless). The veggie bake was literally vegetables covered in cheese, nothing else. Additionally, the plates were all cold and we had to wait 45 minutes for food. We were only refunded one burger.

Ok first of all I do like this pub but normally I only visit it to eat as it is local rather than visit just for a drink. The menu is not large but the food is great. They also have some interesting ales The staff are friendly and seems like everyone knows each other as its serving a rather small community. You do get passing trade from cyclists who may have come off the Taff trail. The only problem I find is there have been times I have gone there for food to be told they are not serving any today. There is no parking but that is not a problem for me as it is a walk away from my house. Except for the inconsistency of serving food I think the place is great and food is good too.

Some friends had steaks which looked very good but were £16 which I thought was a bit pricey when considering the fairly basic presentation and surroundings.

Came here for a family gathering. We all had the Christmas menu, starters came and the soup was cold but the waitress was apologetic and was happy to change them. Seating wasn’t great, was a bit of a squeeze against a pillar. The main was lovely and extra pigs in blankets were brought out which was a winner. Desert I had the honeycomb cheesecake and it was delicious. Lovely service shame about the soup and the table arrangement. Aireyfairy

We had been for food here several times before and had had good experiences, although my wife (a vegetarian) was reluctant as she had been underwhelmed by the vegetarian options before (unsurprising in a Chop house). Unfortunately this trip will be our last. Seven of us were eating and we called to book before we went, and were helpfully advised the kitchen closed at 2pm (we called at 1pm and got there at 1.20pm). We ordered, only just noticing the pizza menu on the wall (not on the paper menus) which prevented protestations from our 8 year old, who had hoped with we attend a pizzeria. After ordering, we were informed they were out of burgers and our 11 year old switched to pizza too. The food arrived and we were underwhelmed by the presentation. The steak arrived on a cold plate which meant it was tepid when started. The sausage and mash was mostly gravy. The steak and ale pie was served in a china pie dish and was garnished with a small amount of puff pastry. The vegetarian option was the best of the meal. Then the pizzas. Oh, the pizzas! The ham and tomato came with chorizo. The prawn and chorizo did not have any. We drew the landlady's attention to this and she offered to change it but, as this would mean one hungry pre-teen watching us eat for an indeterminate time, we attempted to transfer the chorizo from one to the other. We needn't have bothered. The pizzas consisted of a fresh dough base (good), cheddar cheese (poor) and a large quantity of sauce that I would bet money on being tomato ketchup (abysmal). If it wasn't, I have never tasted a more insipid, sugary, vinegary pizza sauce in my life. Our 8 year old (who was desperate for pizza and cannot stand ketchup) refused to eat it and I sacrificed my chips and made do with the tepid steak. Our 11 year old (who likes ketchup and told us the sauce tastes like the sauce we had with our chips at Five Guys (which was Heinz tomato ketchup) barely ate half. This is unheard of for even mediocre pizzas: he will usually eat a large pizza with little effort and still be wanting more. We complained and the pub refunded the price of the rejected pizza. No one had come to ask how our food was after it was served and it appeared clear they were not particularly interested in knowing. Having paid when ordering (sensible on the part of the restaurant, as we would have begrudged paying afterward) we we pleased to leave as soon as we had finished in order to get home and feed our children properly. It is a real shame. The venue is characterful and has always been a popular stop on our cycle rides for a real ale. The menu promises a lot and I can only imagine the chef has either changed or burned him or herself out. I certainly wont return to eat and would be reluctant to return for a drink.

Called in just before 6 pm on a Friday evening . Plenty of people in the bar but got a table for 4 easily , Ordered drinks from the bar two of which were real beer from a barrel , opened a tab without an problem and then ordered food . Steak and Ale pie , Scampi , Gammon and egg , and a smokey chicken and bacon salad . Came up quickly and everyone enjoyed their meal . I admit to having been in there on a wed evening on and off for informal meetings and eaten there ,usually sausage and mash but this was the first time as two couples and every one was pleased with my suggestion of eating there . Will we go again yes . By the way , wood fire in the corner , past experience says don't sit to close you'll roast , Value for money , very good . I think the staff could get rushed off their feet if it got really busy but they all knew what they were doing ,cleared the tables quickly etc . A happy customer !

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.
