The only reason i gave it a two star is because the young girl who served us was really helpful and friendly. The food was embarrassing, I used to eat at Frankie and bennys A LOT a few years ago, my god have they made some serious cut back and it shows terribly. We sent back the two chicken parm pastas, the chicken was the cheapest blandest fried chicken I’ve ever had from a restaurant a the pasta was bland and tasted terrible. They try charging £16.75 for that monstrosity, my local Italian charge £13 for fresh pasta cabonara or bolognaise and it’s incredible. The pizzas used to be amazing and are now cheap anaemic undercooked, most likely frozen dough. The chips were undercooked. We had a platter for mains the ribs were ok but the chicken strips and wings honestly didn’t even taste like chicken, it was so bad. We ordered a kids strawberry and a kids chocolate ice cream for 2 kids they put it in one bowl mixed them together, honestly don’t understand the thought process. Overall massive shame as had great memories of Frankie and bennys back in the day but I will never give them another chance as it was sooooo poor in quality, it’s no wonder stores are shutting left right and centre. Sad

I visited your treforest restaurant on Saturday 1st February to say I was disappointed was an understatement. Due to being diagnosed with coeliac disease I was very disappointed you do not provide fries on your menu. Also the vinegar in your restaurant is malt when I asked for an alternative vinegar was told there wasn't any. As coeliac I can not use this due to the ingredients. This could be easily solved by providing an alternative of any other vinegar. Also my husband was disappointed to the very small portions.

We booked a table for my daughter’s birthday in likeness to we do every year but this was the first year F&B declined to blend our disabled son’s meal so we left and made other arrangements. They used to pride themselves catering for disability and the restaurant manager explained they no longer have a blender - find that surprising that a kitchen facility in a restaurant does not have this appliance 😳 Very disappointing!

Booked a table, arrived on time, placed the order, waited 45 minutes, asked the waiter if it’s ready. He told us it’s coming in 2 and then avoided us. I went 5 min later to check, it was just on the grill. No “sorry I forgot, no nothing”. From none of them. So if you go there, make sure to check on your food, because some of the people there won’t bother. Go up and left, can’t comment about food.

A great restaurant in Talbot Green. My first time here but heard lots of positive comments from friends and family. Reasonably priced and staff were friendly but professional. No steps at the front to negotiate so those with mobility issues shouldn't have any problems in entering the restaurant. I had the calamari for starters and salmon for main. Both were cooked very well and both were delicious. Portions were enough and although I was full I didn't feel stuffed. I will visit here again and will have no problem in recommending this restaurant to anyone else. Thank you, I'll be back.

We have been to this restaurant before, approximately a year ago, which is why this review is all the more upsetting to write as previously the experience was unbelievably amazing. We visited today on Valentines. We do not live in Wales, however made the effort to travel back, specifically for this restaurant and the amazing memory of it. My partner booked the table. As we entered immediately there were young children sprinting around the restaurant, which was concerning but not totally off putting. As we sat down on the table we noticed we were also missing forks with our cutlery. Normally these things don't matter but all these small things started to add up. We then ordered drinks and food and had no issues with our initial server. We thought we were then past all of the negative bits of the night... it was valentines day, so it was busy as expected. One of the servers, she appeared brand new and really really nervous. Which is no issue at all. However, she brought the first cocktail over to the table and whilst on route from the bar to our table, she continuously spilled the cocktail leaving a mess on the floor and a puddle on our table. She then sat the drink down. Normally I wouldn't have any issues with this. However, it was the fact she did not say a word but look on in absolute despair before departing the table quicker than a gun shot. Leaving the puddle mess on the floor and the table for us to clean up... she then continued to bring another drink over in absolute silence before walking back to the bar and just standing as still as a statue as if she was a hostage in the establishment. Moving forward... we finished our starters which was the bread and olives and the meatballs. These were actually really good. The olives were soaked a bit too much in oil. Bit of overkill but nonetheless the starters were good. The horror then continued as an hour + passed and our mains were still a no show. Our previous drink glasses has been cleared with no offer of more drinks or even coming back over to check. I even went to speak when the glassws were collected, however the waitess had left half way through my first word. I had to walk up to the bar, after a good 15 minutes, just to order two more drinks which were then brought to the table in utter silence. This just created an awkward atmosphere that just did not set the mood for me or my partner. Another thing to add to the atmosphere... or not to add was the absence of music... that was just a bit weird. Since waiting over an hour for food. Hope seemed to be on the horizon when a dish was brought to our table.... which turned out not to be our order. This appeared to be happening all over the restaurant. This was exemplified by running members of staff who were literally sprinting through the restaurant. In the end me and my partner decided to leave and he went up to cancel our dinner and pay. However, he was told the food was then coming out straight away. My partner then paid for everything and we waited for our food. Initially our side dishes come out first then followed by sauce and another couple mins for our mains. My partner got a medium rare steak which come out rare. As if it was rushed by the kitchen leading to the thing not being fully eaten. I ordered the Parma pizza... however it appeared that a normal margarita pizza was just used and the rest of the toppings such as mozzarella and tomatoes were thrown on without going into the oven first. The pizza was cut in slices... but the toppings perfectly in tact making me beleive it was just shoved onto someone else's margarita to get the food out the kitchen quicker. I had one slice.... and left, as the toppings were cold on a hot pizza. For example the mozzarella had just been taken out of the fridge and sprinkled on. Overall this experience alone I wouldn't go back. And we weren't offered any discounts or price cuts - which we weren't expecting, However, the staff appeared aware of our discomfort and nothing was offered at all.
