Glancynon Inn in Rhondda Cynon Taf

Seamless serving and friendly staff for a party of 32 food was spot on and was served hot and speedy. From booking to pating the bill the owners and staff where fantastic in catering for our needs.

Highly recommend this pub 👌 big thank you to courtney who served us nothing was to mutch trouble. Busy environment still made time to check food was OK, any additional drinks needed small things make a big difference 😊 definitely coming back.

Absolutely stunning food! Generous portions and such lovely service. Lovely welcomed atmosphere. I would definitely recommend eating here.

Sunday lunch with family. Nicely renovated, friendly service and reasonably price menu. Option of one, two or three courses and children’s menu. Plenty of choice, very generous portions and very tasty! House wine went down very well too, will definitely come again.

Took the family here on Sunday, service was fast and polite, food was amazing and everyone left full and happy! What more can you ask for!

Lovely food, plenty of it. Well presented. Staff were friendly. Prices reasonable. Enjoyed a very nice Sunday lunch, can't wait to come back again!

Finally got the chance to eat here.I live in the village so it's great to have the Glan back open.The meal was lovely,fresh & cooked well.The desserts to try next time,they looked so nice.

Took my elderly mother and Aunt for lunch.First thing they noticed tables laid with crisp white table cloths and a very warm welcome.Prawn starter was enjoyed as was the soup. Main course beef ,pork and turkey dinners ordered and all were well presented hot and very edible. As the lunch time progressed it became quite busy.This is obviously a new venture and the new owner was very pleasant and keen to please. I think it will improve further as he and his staff gain more experience.

Was looking forward to visiting again after hearing it had re-opened! However, the service was poor, considering we were the only people there and the food was average!! They only had 1 dessert available which wasn’t even on the menu!!! Apparently the freezer had broken down! The card machine wasn’t working so had to hunt for a cash machine in the local area! It was annoying that we weren’t told this on booking as reading other reviews since, this has been an issue for some time! Won’t be returning.

Called in recently. One person at the bar! Ten minutes wait to be served £3.30 for a bottle of Grolsch! It would make a good haunted house I think this place should be shut down and turned into a Home for a Poltergeist!

The Glancynon re-opened just over a week ago. Yesterday was their first meal service, and we had booked a table for Sunday lunch. We were slightly worried due to the fact that we were the first to try food with the new owners.We had nothing to worry about... The staff were brilliant, the chef was top cook, the ambiance was better than it had been for years.Beef was just melt in the mouth, big home made Yorkshire puds on everyone’s plates with roast and boiled potatoes, carrots, cauliflower cheese, roast parsnip and broccoli. And to top it off, home made gravy which was delicious!It was fabulous to see the support they received from the village on their first Sunday lunch. Keep up the good work all... This is a chance to shine once again, can’t wait to return.

This lovely village pub has now reopened after a short closure. Warm cosy pub offering wide range of drinks and food . The pub has a beer garden and large car park and no visit is complete without a taste of the locally brewed Welsh whisky

Had some great nights here ,meals superb and great company.The hardest thing I have heard in ages was the death of a friend, who was the owner Alan Evans ,this pub was his pride and joy ,a good man .Is it true demolition ?God he put his heart and soul into the place .A sad time indeed

Visited the glancynon with a friend for a meal and a catch up! Was greeted by friendly bar staff who showed us our table that we had reserved. We had a 3 course meal each and all of the food was absolutely stunning! Generous portions and so tasty!! The waiting staff were very attentive and always smiling! The locals were all very friendly too. Disappointed to hear that the place might be closing as I've just moved to the area and would defiantly be a regular here!!!

We ate at the glancynon last night food was brilliant, the restaurant was busy with every table full lovely to See, the atmosphere was buzzing and a pint of rev James went down a treat. Thank you glancynon for an amazing night

We called here on the off chance of getting a table for 6 on Saturday 19th January and were seated straight away. Staff were friendly food was fantastic, hot, fresh and plenty served, we would definitely eat here again. Thankyou to you all at Glancynon.

Visited with family food was amazing staff were so welcoming, child friendly and that is a must for us. Really couldn't fault it. We will 100% be back!

We have Always enjoyed our meal here the staff all very nice and welcoming .. then why am I Very Disappointed well 'tis because I've learned recently that the Glan Cynon is to be demolished and houses erected on the site ... Alan Evans must be turning in his grave sad very sad

This place was one of the best places years ago. Do not bother to go now unless you want VERY VERY poor quality cheap rubbish food and service. The place is totally dated and needs a major refurbishment. I was ripped off on my bill. Charged evening prices for the lunch menu. Did not realise until I looked at my bill at home. I will never return.

We were in a group of six adults and three young children. Staff were very friendly and we weren't made to feel uncomfortable with the children. We went on a Sunday so there was a traditional Sunday dinner on offer witha choice of meats. There were also other choices from the menu. Service was prompt and there were good sized portions. The cost was very reasonable. We ate in the upstairs room so access might be an issue but I think there are tables downstairs as well. Car park is a decent size. Would definitely consider returning.

My husband and myself booked here jus for quiet Friday nite meal.. We had been to This pub only once before and it was nice then.. I would say that the food has gone better.. We ordered a starter of chicken strips which were cooked lovely and I would say quite a generous portion as well... We then had the mixed grill and the cajun chicken skewers... Both were fantastic value for money and also Everythng was cooked perfect.. All the staff that served us from the barstaff to the waitress were lovely and were very friendly.. Every table was taken but still wasn't to full or noisy it was lovely.. Will definitely be going here again.. And I have also recommended this place to all my friends..

Very friendly, and welcoming. Good prices, generally well cooked and appetising.meals only let down by truly awful chips. I would have given it a good rating if it weren't for those chips!.

Found on TA and although not very exiting from outside staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was excellent and will definitely return if in the area. Hi

After a period of indifferent food .glad to say there's been a huge improvement. Went there for lunch with friends . All of us enjoyed our meals , hot food well cooked,fab sticky toffee pudding. Staff are great, well done.

After coming for lunch on Friday we will definitely return! The food was amazing and brilliant value for the portions, service was fab and the staff were very friendly and attentive! Would definitely recommend!!

What a lovely evening the kids had a Great time nice food lovely atmosphere thank you glancynon inn and lovely friendly staff. Hope to have more family events here

Well what a blast we had! Amazing firework show. Fantastic food options Hotdogs, Burgers, Chicken Nuggets, jacket potatoes, Chips.......or you could order from the Menu in the Lounge!

Great fireworks display for children put on last night 👍👍👍also food was great with snack boxes provided for children defiantly be attending family events again

Fantastic restaurant and pub... this place is family friendly and the staff are excellent they made us feel very welcome, they were great with my children and they loved the play area outside. Couldn’t fault the food and service I will be going back many more times in the future.

Our son who was getting married, had been let down by the first reception venue, so he needed to act fast to find an alternative. Glancynon Inn stepped in to save the day. They closed the room off, so it was invited guests only. They dressed the room beautifully and the staff were lovely, they couldn't have gone further out of their way to ensure we all had a day to remember.

Booked this place for a birthday lunch. There were 8 of us & we all decided we would use the Glancynon again. We all had different food & all enjoyed it - in fact we are going again next week. Excellent value.

Were heading for LLandovery, but my wife was struggling with tiredness, so decided to turn round and travel across country and stumbled upon the Glancynon not far from home, We had heard of it, so in we went for lunch. Very warm welcome, lovely restaurant area nicely laid out. Service was very quick , beautifully presented meal, adequate proportions and a very good price. Quality of our meal was of high standard and obviously have a first class chef. Definitely be back with friends visiting us over the coming weeks plus ourselves when Heather wants a rest from cooking. The evening menu a little dearer looks very good, so another visit very soon. Thanks to the staff for a very friendly experience.

We decided to have an overnight stop here in our Motorhome as the weather was rather bleak. We were warmly welcomed and had a nice red wine.

Visited this pub for a lunchtime meal mid-week. Very quiet - we were the only people there. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food came very quickly and was very tasty and of generous portions. Food very reasonably priced. Will certainly return.

Popped in here on a rainy Saturday evening and was pleasantly surprised by the great food and friendly, attentive staff.

Had lovely Saturday lunch with an elderly lady with us. Service was excellent with very friendly and attentive service. Food was very good and very good value for money. We live away so can't be regulars. However when we visit Aberdare again we will return.

We stayed down the road from here and needed somewhere to eat after a day of walking. It was fine inside and the atmosphere was friendly. We ordered 2 Glancynon burgers for 11.50 each. We waited for around 50 mins for our food and eventually it came out. Was a generous portion as the bacon was thick and the burger was handmade and large! Served with a giant onion ring and large chips and salad. Was so tasty and worth the wait.

Just had a dinner here and I got to say it was terrible. I didn't like anything about it at all. The chicken seemed to be undercooked the veg was bland and tasted frozen and they didn't bring all the veg to the table just peas and carrots with a bit of green beans on the side. The 1 potato we had tasted funny and roasters and stuffing was solid. Will never come back here again it's was awful!

Visited for Sunday lunch- showed to our table straight away and food + drinks order taken-good..After 20 mins my partners starter of pate arrived with an apology on the wait. Looked really nice and plenty of it.. I ordered soup which did not arrive.. after 10 mins waiter apologised and said it was on its way. 10 mins went by so I cancelled my starter (my partner had finished his) and just asked for our beef dinners.... waited a further 20 mins... no food. We decided to leave. I'd been in the pub for an hour in total and had received no food. We cancelled our order and the waitresses were very apologetic and wavered any payment for the starter and drinks we had. Nice gesture but would have really liked to have eaten!!!Not a good experience- won't visit again.

Where to start ok staff are friendly starters first class but the dinner grave was pastey with no flaver what so ever.mash no butter or cream no taste.Sprouts soaking wet mushe not a tall good.What can I say to be honest I'd find a new Cook as the dinner was disgusting .

Good food, friendly staff and excellent menu that fairly priced with the food being served piping hot.

Fab food for 9 of us not rushed enjoyed out for a 78th birthday age range 2 to 78 staff very helpful and friendly will be back soon fab place to watch the rugby too

Just visited the glancynon with my wife and food and service was superb. I would have no hesitation in recommending this excellent pub if you fancy high quality food at very reasonable prices

Visited the Sunday that the rugby was on and again thoroughly impressed with the food and can't wait to return again. Only problem was it was bit slower thank usual might've been due to the rugby, but other than that the service and food were fantastic!

The food was lovely, the staff were very attentive & it was so nice to see the Glan back to its former self. It's been a while since we visited for food but I can certainly say we'll be back very soon.Thanks you for a lovely evening & welcome back

A group of 8 girl work friends went to the Glan for a 30th Birthday meal, and I have to say we were a little anxious as we had heard and seen some bad reviews, however we needn't of been... We all had different meals - steak, lasagne, veggie burger, pie, scampi, chicken, chicken strips which we had pre-ordered before arriving, and within 15 minutes we were all eating. The meals were huge!!! The prices are very reasonable and everyone one of us said how much we enjoyed, and would definitely return again. Some of the party had dessert, which was Wild Berry Cheesecake and was absolutely delicious! I must say that the bar staff and servers were very attentive also... Thank you for a lovely meal and evening! p.s We saw that the Glan offer every Wednesday a curry and drink for 2 for £15.00 :)

Called there today for a Sunday roast never eaten there before I can't fault the food and service at all the afters which was coconut cheesecake was scrumptious will be calling there regular a lovely pint aswell would definatley recommend great value for money. The only down side was the restraunt was a little cold but that wouldn't put me off

Went for a family meal at lunchtime on Christmas Eve.The food was superb and the new Chef Dan came to speak to us.The plan is to source his food locally and put the Glan back where it belongs.The service was great and cheerful.We will definitely be returning

Have been here a good few times for sunday lunch and we have enjoyed everytime the prices are good to go with the food x

Visited here as there were new owners for a Xmas meal it was £25.00 for a 3 course meal just couldn't believe it when the meal came out the starters were cold and ad for the turkey dinner itIt was just disgusting oxo gravey 2 sprouts 2 Carotts and frozen roasts and yorkshires all together in one pile didn't even fill half the plate not only did all 10 of us complain but another table of about 10 complained too the one lady there we complained to was lovely and really understood all in all this pub is going down hill and fast

£25 per head to be handed tinned veg thrown on a plate with dry meat which was supposed to be turkey. Then asked to leave and not come back as we complained. Very bad manners from the staff and so called management.

Seeing as my post was deleted.. I'll post it again. And on Trip advisor.Having gone to the Glan last year for our Ladies Christmas meal and thoroughly enjoyed we decided to book again this year. Big mistake.Some of the girls had a brie starter, fine.. but considering there are normally 2 portions of brie they felt a bit let down. I had a duck starter which was so cold it made my teeth hurt and it was duck leg breast so as you can imagine greasy as. I pinched a hot roll off one the girls who had a soup to try and warm it up.After a lengthy wait we finally had our substandard Xmas main.. as you can see it didn't even fill the plate.. some of us didn't receive Yorkshire puds or stuffing. 2 measly Aunt Bessie roast potatoes, tinned/frozen veg which consisted for some of 2 potatoes, 1 pig in blanket, 3 watery carrots and swede, no peas on some plates,1 brussel sprout and meat that can only be described as from a packet warmed up in the microwave. Oh and gravy that must of been made from Bisto.We didn't even bother with the dessert and refused to pay the £15 extra (after paying a £10 deposit). There was 11 of us so they had already made £110 off us besides the bottles of already opened wine and other drinks.We went downstairs, me and my sister finished our drinks and decided to leave.. What happened next is unbelievable and I'm glad I wasn't there. They had the cheek to sack my cousin who works there on her night out for a meal after we had complained. The worst part about this is it wasn't even a manager but the pot washer.

One star is too much to even give but this is for the one mature lady who worked upstairs on the night. She was lovely. Well where do I start. £25.00 for 3 course Christmas dinner seemed reasonable enough. Starter came out half an hour later than we arrived even though all our meals where pre-ordered. Frozen prawns and jar thousand island sauce dumped on top. I don't even have jar sauce in my house so don't expect it out. The brie wedge starter was half the size too.Main course well my Turkey was dry unseasoned and terribly over cooked. Frozen aunt Bessie's Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes. Yuck. Don't have them in the house either. Vegetables well a 3 month old baby could have eaten them they were so over cooked they turned to mush whilst picking them up. No one ate main course and we all stood up and left to go down stairs to wait for the owner. Did not even get to dessert.Well her dad arrived as she is only 18. Craig. we was met with an aggressive, hot headed bottle/line cleaner man. Instantly, going to one of our party demanding to know who hasn't paid. To which see replied not one of us and we are not going to for that so called meal. We where then met with verbal abuse and hostile physic from Craig to which he sacked a member of our party, through us out and banned all 11 of us. The beat thing was another table of 12 upstairs and a table of pub drinkers also complained about the same food. So that would show you that the chef is an idiot and cannot cook even a boiled potatoe. Its him that's destroying your daughters pub not the girl that has done everything in her power and more to make that pub a success. The Glancynon in Hirwaun is a complete and utter JOKE. You go there and you might as well put your money straight in the bin.

Spent some time planning a visit here for my other half's birthday meal with the in laws - we don't live locally so relied on Trip Advisor, Facebook and the good ole interweb, to suggest somewhere new (and not a bloody Harvester or such like).A very professional website, and I mean very nice, led me to look into what people had thought. A few bad reviews should never put you off if the majority are good.I should have paid more attention. The pub itself was nice, and in the summer months it would be beautiful. The staff were welcoming if a little untrained (a requested for a glass of medium white wine was met with a "we only do small and large glasses"), but we soldiered on. The menu presented didn't bear a great if resemblance to the website but hey, things change!What came out of the kitchen was a shock. 3 of the 4 meals were pretty inedible. Lasagne, to my knowledge, should contain pasta. After a minute of digging around I found none, nadda, nothing, no pasta. It wasn't just me either! Sorry to say they were sent back, and as 2 were veggie we didn't have a choice for a replacement.The staff were very helpful and didn't charge us for the meals sent back, and offered us a free meal if we returned next weekend - I won't be going back. We were advised that they had a new chef who was working with what the old chef had made. Well no wonder you had a new one, if this was his standard.I can't fault the bar and waiting staff, they did a great job. But if the new chef thinks what was served up was a Lasagne, they need to go back to catering college!At the time of writing don't trust the website - it is not a true representation of what the pub is actually like right now.

I am not a regular at this establishment but have been on a number of occasions.It has a good ambiance in the bar and comfortable lounge and a good selection of meals both lunch time and evenings. Well wort a vist to if you are in the village.

Food served 2 hours after table was booked, many items on menu sold out. Apparently only one chef. Will not be returning. Waitress was really trying her best to help but she couldn't go and cook the food herself. What a shame!

Great value meal really nice as well, would highly recommend.£10 for 1 course £12 for 2 course £15 for 3 courses.But be warned they do tend to run out of starters later on in the day!

Popped there for lunch, food was exellent with big portions. The staff were very pleasant, and the prices was very reasonable. Will definately go there again

Used to love going here...new owners now....not the best..poor customer service,not much choice on the lunchtime menu, and portion size is tiny....wont go again....

Visited here on 24 September for a reunion. Some 50 or 60 people in the upstairs room. Service at the bar was a bit slow, but I don't think they had thought through the implications of so many people arriving and wanting drinks at the same time. The young lad behind the bar tried very hard to cope, but the problem was soon remedied by the arrival of another member of staff, after that all was good. The buffet was ordered for 8.30 to 9.00. What a buffet it was. Platters of Turkey, Gammon and Beef. A whole salmon. Rice salad. Green salad. Samosas.The usual pasties, Coleslaw, sausages, French bread, cheeses and biscuits, followed by cake and other desserts. They certainly did us proud.

Went there tonight Friday 23rd September it was 5 of us all together and what a fantastic meal and serve, we had starters and a mean meal and it was all amazing and everything was cooked to order (I like a fresh meal) , the new chef there has definitely made a difference, will definitely be going back here and can't wait for Sunday dinner as that was fantastic last week, 5* all round :) sorry no photo but I enjoyed it to much to take one :D

Visited The Glancynon Inn a couple weeks back with family and absolutely loved the Sunday Dinner but have to say this Sunday was even better! Will most definitely be back!

I went to the glancynon for food on the 15th September lunch time. And I couldn't say anything bad about the food. But there was lack of customer service. The young girl would rather talk to nother member of staff. Than collect our pleats and walked past us 3 time. And we did want desserts but waiting 20 mins and still she didn't come and collect our pleats. Or offer desserts So we decided to leave

This Inn was easy to find & offers 'specials' - 2 for £12-£15 most days as well as their ordinary menu. Great atmosphere, good service & a very nice meal. Highly recommend it!

Our family dined for lunch yesterday .could not fault Food and service , would definitely recommend to others.

Visited the Glan tonight for an impromptu meal - Saturday, with my husband for a celebration meal for my new job. Unfortunately a lot has to be said about the level of customer service experienced. A near empty restaurant and offers a table next to a young coupe with two very young children - lucky being grandparent this was not a problem but for others could see this as being do. When ordering a bottle of wine offered firstly mismatched glasses till pointed this out. Then expected to open the wines our selves on the bar, when u come out for a treat ! Pop cork yourself I can do this at home ! Walked away to the table till they brought the wine over opened and plonked on the table no wine / bottle cooler ! When asked for one, brought one so full of water and ice it when the waiter put in the bottle it over flowed into the table running off on to hubbies trousers. Not impressed. Order for food taken promptly. Waited a long time for food which was good when it arrived and correct to order. Once served Nobody came to came to check all was good or if we wanted anything further drinks, accompaniments etc., tables next to us when family left was left for a long period of time not cleared with only four other people eating in the room so not overly busy. No atmosphere in the place, even had to ask for music to be played as background but when put on very loud and wrong tracks played for background relaxing restaurant ambience. When paying card taken out of sight to the till as did not check how we were paying. When using the ladies after the meal no toilet paper was available in either cubical - lucky tissue in my bag !! Empty rolls on a Saturday night at 8pm !!! Don't think we would eat here again even though the food was ok. Customer service lacking !!! Need to up the game.

Another review from me on my local "The Glan" It's clear to see the new owners are definitely making a positive impact on ensuring the pubs future is a successful one. I took my parents and another couple for lunch and I'm very pleased to say the service was good and the meals although basic were actually excellent (well done). I mentioned some basic points for the staff to alter in my previous reviews such as putting pictures on the walls to add some warmth and character instead of just a Wales flag. Good to see these changes and that the bar fridges were stocked with a selection of drinks!Please consider painting the walls or at least some of them a warmer colour such as a deep red or dark green. The white paint everywhere just makes the place look empty. One last point, don't put to many signs up in the beer garden reference the play area after all it is a beer garden not a crèche. I'm not that keen on looking at Mickey Mouse pictures everywhere!Well done so far to keeping this pub a place people want to spend time in.

We visited for a meal for our anniversary as we haven't eaten here for a long time and unfortunately the meal wasn't particularly good. I don't think there was anything freshly made on the menu that day. Everything was cooked from frozen or from a packet and you could taste it in the food. Beer was ok and nice wine.

Visited here for lunch and a few drinks with family. Food was nice and staff were very friendly. Prices are reasonable for pub grub. The only reason it's mark down is for the decor. They have tried to give the place a lick of paint however it has lost a lot of character as the walls have just been white washed and look very bare.

Regular visitor but not been for a while as disappointed on last visit but had heard good things do give it a go. ..what can I say not much has changed. Garlic mushrooms to start a few mushrooms floating in a bowl of cream! Can chicken so overcooked couldn't put my knife through life. So disappointed as so wanted to see an improvement ...

The prices are good, and the food is good for the price, the restaurant is nice and clean and the staff are friendly. The restaurant has free parking with a beautiful beer garden! The views in the area are to kill for, with the Welsh mountains surrounding the area this is a proper Welsh/British pub!

Visited for a birthday meal. Little option available on starter menu, but offered chicken Goujons which were lovely. Mains arrived at all different times. Two cod meals arrived 1st, one with jacket and 1 with sweet potato fries. Cod with jacket arrived, with no peas or side salad, no lemon or tartar sauce and had to ask to bring these extras which we never got. The other cod was eaten whilst waiting for sweet potato fries, which by the way never arrived, was given a bowl of overcooked chips instead. All other mains were very nice, but home cooked chips were revolting, think they had been cooked 3 hours earlier. Overall food was tasty, but service and lack of provision of things ordered let this down big time!!!!

Lovely food, great staff, nice garden and surroundings, overall I had a lovely experience and would go back again and would recommend

Visited The Glancynon Inn for a family meal. Food was really nice and service was excellent. The staff made you so welcome and provided excellent service. Very good choice of menu, something for everyone. The desserts, all i can say is yum!During my visit at the restaurant we could see that they were doing takeaways, excellent idea... So during the working week my office decided to try this service out. Not one complaint was made from the staff or even a clean plate in our kitchen. Takeaway fish and chips and the Balti curry were a fave amongst staff. As the food was so good and service was excellent, we have now agreed for it to be a weekly event - Its called The Glan Friday :-) But seriously, you need to try this food... You dont know what your missing!

Well what can i say... Food was fabulous. Hot right through, delicious and a very good choice of menu. Staff were welcoming and service was second to none. Took my children and usually my youngest is a fussy eater if not home cooked but i must say he ate every bit so thats a gold star in my book for restaurants (Well done the Glancynon). Childs play area was a great idea, kept them entertained. Noticed on their notice board that they have alot of upcoming events too which is really good as it is always hard to try find somewhere in the valleys that doesnt cost an arm and a leg to visit. I will most def be back...

I haven't actually tried the food so take this review as a review of the way we were made to feel and not a reflection on the food served.The menu looked very good and we were looking forward to booking but during our hour or so visit we were stared at by locals and ignored by staff, I got the feeling that new faces were not welcome.

This bar resteraunt caters for all ages all functions they got a upstairs large funtion room with bar meals here are superb new owners now but all ways busy bar staff are polite a great allrounder

Popped in for lunch last Friday and the place was packed. I was offered a table in the bar as the lounge was full. Polite staff. Good value lunchtime meal and a pleasant change to eat in the bar with nice regulars to chat with.

Been today for sunday lunch! ! Amazing people and staff! Food was delishious! Lamb was to die for and everything piping hot! Sticky toffee pudding was the best ive every tasted! Everyone so welcoming and thw waitresses couldnt do enough for us.New Childrens area ot the beer garden is fantastic and a great addition! family friendly and dogs also welcome in beer garden and bar! Also loving the singers in the afternoon! Well done to the new management!!! Good luck in you venture x

Had a meal here tonight with family and I have to say, it was beautiful. Didn't expect a good meal due to all the bad reviews on here but the whole family was shocked. Beautiful food, really tasty. Great service from the bar staff and waitress. Heard a table complain about their food but nobody else in the restaurant seemed to have a problem with the food. Don't know why there's such bad reviews on here about the pub and new management. Spoke to the management myself and they were more than helpful to recommend places toVisit. Great place! Will visit again!!!!

Visited two Sunday's in a row now had a fantastic Sunday lunch on both occasions! The new kids play area is perfect for little ones especially during the summer holidays will be coming back!

I have reviewed The Glan a few times now and I will continue to do so as it's my local and I want it to be a great place to go. I would really like the owners to actually read there feedback here on TripAdvisor and take some action.The pub now states it's under new management again but there has been a noticeable drop in overall standards.The bar looks bare and un-welcoming, all the walls are painted white, the lights are on full brightness and there is nothing hanging on the walls except a Welsh flag! The fridges behind the bar are empty and kids use the place to hang out! So it's no longer a place I want to visit and judging by others on TripAdvisor they feel the same.It's not all doom and gloom though and rather than just stating all the negatives above let's look to what can be done because if the owners make a few basic and not costly changes it could be a great local pub again.List of things to do:1. Stock the bar properly.2. Paint some walls a rich dark colour to add warmth and character.3. Dim the lights in the bar, you wouldn't sleep in bed with your big light on!4. Ask the kids for ID then politely ask them to leave.5. The chalk board promoting events at the main entrance looks tacky and is something I would expect to see in Benidorm.To the new owners - Please don't take this in the wrong way, I understand the circumstances of why you now run The Glan but please take note of the above before this pub becomes a DIVE!!!

Not sure what has happened to this place, but has been an eye-opener the last twice I called for a drink (haven't tried the food since under new management)I was there a few weeks ago sitting in the bar with family. There were workmen drinking at the bar, and then a few more came in. The language was so loud, we couldn't hear ourselves talk! I was embarrassed for other people around, but bar staff couldn't care less and did not ask them to tone it down.Called again over the weekend, it was worse than last time. Beer garden full of drunks swearing, its a good job there were no families around on this occasion.It is such a shame as all previous owners/managers worked so hard to make this a good family pub, and always full of people you know. Now it has been taken over by youngsters with some less-desirable customers in tow. It really is a loss to the community. RIP Glancynon.

I recently visited the pub for a quiet drink with friends to celebrate the football, just as we got the first round of drinks in my friend who's male went into the male toilets to find two men in a ridiculous state swearing and shouting about all sorts we weren't to bothered due to being older but when they came out falling and continuing to swear in front of children and families I was shocked, the staff behind the bar then continued to serve them more alcohol when they were already intoxicated. We then over heard a man tell people that his daughter who was in her school uniform has taken over the pub and is running it with her partner, I was then appalled to find out that two 18 year olds are running the pub.Then I got spoken to like a child when ordering a drink by a person who looks under the age of 16 themselves, I'd stay well clear of this place as I felt uncomfortable there , this is no family pub anymore just run by children and full of rowdy drunken men!!!!

We called into the Glancynon one Saturday afternoon looking to order a bar meal. The lounge was quite busy with a small coach trip in but we found a table no problems. The menu was varied and the prices reasonable. I had the chicken which was very tasty and moist and my husband had the beef ribs which were fantastic! Great value for money and we would definitely eat here again. Glad to see they stocked the local Brecon gin too which I love but can't always find in pubs.

thank you to Rhys and his staff for providing a hot and cold buffet for our wedding reception. the food was tasty and the bar staff were friendly and efficient. the venue has recently been redecorated and proved to be an excellent choice. our 50 guests enjoyed the day and Rhys supervised proceedings to ensure everything ran smoothly. no complaints from any of our guests who thoroughly enjoyed the meal. many of them commented on the quality of the food and have arranged to frequent the restaurant.

We went as a group there was around 10 of us. Had heard good things recently but was a bit disappointed. The food was just average, my meal personally was ok but the rest was a bit disappointing. The prawn cocktail starter was basic and the ribs didn't taste very nice. It's clear that the staff are trying so hard to get the pub to a good standard, I think they just need a bit more time, they are going in the right direction. We had a few niggles and they gave us all a free dessert which was great customer service. Would go back again though, the atmosphere is always nice and the beer garden is fab too!

I went for a meal with my husband and 4 year old son last Sunday. we ordered 2 sunday roasts and the veggie curry which was for me. all 3 meals were lovely and the portions were big even for the kids option.my husband had the garlic mushroom to start and it was delicious. the sunday roast came with lots of fresh veg. atmosphere was family friendly and it was a nice sunny day and some guests were sat in the garden enjoying the sun shine. i would definitely go back again and try the normal menu. they sometimes have a BBQ in the beer garden- how cool is that! Awesome place and great value for money!

Fab bank holiday! Amazing people and staff! Food was delish and every1 so welcoming! Child and family friendly and dogs also welcome in beer garden and bar! Also loving the singers on a saturday!

Chips not cooked and black in places only thing that was fresh was the small amount of salad .waitress was very nice place could do with a revamp nice looking beer garden plenty of parking space . Partner enjoyed her lasagne but she has polyps and can't taste her food.tidy glass of beer ipa . 2 drinks and 2 meals £27.50p .will not be rushing back.

Me and a friend decided to meet at the Glancynon for a drink but I wished we never bothered. The pub was run by young girls who were talking to young males who were also drinking there, I waited over 15 minutes to be served due to the girls attention else where and it wasn't even busy. I then went into the dinning area to try and be served and had to wait a further 5 minutes for the girl to finish doing her hair in the mirror. Maybe more older experienced staff needed as it looks like it's being run by children. Where's the manger to see this?This used to be a great pub , I have never waited so long in my life to get a drink... Come on Glancynon what's happening!

Average pub food. Priced according to the quality. Had the curry with half and half chips and rice. The rice was cold and hard. Still enough for me to eat but could have been better.

Massive thanks to the staff for making my day feel so special yesterday and the food was amazing. Great atmosphere and can't wait to go back again

I have always had lots of praise for this restaurant, but I visited Friday evening with my husband without booking , the food we had was not edible , the table next to us had their drinks served in dirty glasses, there was singer in the next room and it was not very relaxing to hear that racket. On leaving went to the toilet only for it to be full of drunk foul mouthed women . Will find somewhere else to eat next time we are down visiting family....

Great family atmosphere freindly staffFood lovely, all clean and tidy plenty of car parking spaces .

Visited the Glancynon Inn last night after hearing such good things about the place and I ordered the curry and my partner had the mix grill- food was incredible!! Going back next weekend to try the Glancynon Stack and maybe the cheesecake!!

Ordered the beefWhich came as end cuts and bits only for the 3 of usNo boiled potatoes as they were not ready for a 1.30 bookingSmall potion of vegetables which was coldThe herbs in the gravy did not compliment the beef whatso ever I complained at the time and said I would have dessert as I was hungry, but they didn't come back to take my order so we left..They charged for 2 meals instead of 3I won't be back

Went to the Glan for lunch on Saturday with my toddler. There was a wide varietyOf food on the menu but only one child's menu which was quiet expensive and way too much food for an 18mth year old.The food was presented lovely and I enjoyed my gammon but did find he chips tasted of old chip fat.The staff were very accommodating with my little one and they have a fantastic beer garden area.Would defo go back but would avoid theChips and paying that amount for a babiesMeal.

Stopped in here as we were staying in aberdare, we were given a warm welcome from the staff and customers, i ordered the lasagne and my son had the gourmet burger, both were delicious, i am fussy with lasagne but have to say it was 10/10, the ambiance of the place was made complete by the open fire was lit and the locals chatted to us all evening, we had dessert i had cheesecake which was light and moreish, my son had the brownie all tasted home made, they do a full childs menu and dogs are welcome (we had ours with us), when i am next in the area we will re visit hopefully on a thursday as my son enjoyed his lesson in fly making from the thurday evening fly fisherman

Highly recommend the food was absolutely stunning and the staff were very friendly and welcoming, such a lovely pub and restaurant which is very reasonably priced!
