Ivy Bush Pontardawe in Neath Port Talbot - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Amazing staff a d a brilliant quiz in a Sunday! Xx

Lovely local pub with good beer a d great staff

Great little pub and so so friendly..

Didn't eat so can't comment, vast array of beers in this lovely proper pub. A great welcome every time. V clean and staff on the ball.

The Ivy Bush is a lovely bar and restaurant with a beautiful little Airbnb. Sue was so friendly and her and her son helped us carry our stuff up. It's a pet friendly accommodation which is a huge plus. We enjoyed playing pool and grabbing a pint. What a lovely and relaxing time we had. Sue was very accomodating with ensuring we had fresh linen and even gave us a ball for my son to use. We had access to the garden to soak up some rare Welsh sunshine. Little touches like pencil crayons and local restaurant menus are great too. It has a wonderful big shower, and a cute little breakfast nook. In the kitchen is an oven, small fridge, microwave and gas hob. There is an iron and ironing board. Everything you need for a trip away. Would highly recommend it.

Ivy Bush is now taken over by the owners Public house very friendly

Disappointed it was too cold to enjoy a very good pint.

my first time in a pub in 20 years it was fantastic thank you

❤️❤️❤️❤️ Today I had my first full on Sunday dinner in 14 months and only my second in 30 months!😱 Todays gorgeous roast was at The Ivy Bush in Pontedawe, up in the valleys beyond Swansea. Roast beef, roast pork, full selection on vegetables including my favorite parsnips and extra gravy! Typing this I could actually eat it all again and with the cheesecake and ice cream that followed. Thanks to the proprietor, Dean Verbeeck, for a great afternoon, sorry we missed you. Next time!

Outstanding service, food, entertainment etc. Brilliant place!

We went today for Sunday lunch (16/10) Absolutely unbelievable!! The beef literally fell apart with a fork!! The veg was beautiful and the gravy was delicious!! By far the best Sunday dinner we’ve had locally!! Superb

Tapas bar good quality food and wine but not cheap

We went here for nothing more than an early pub supper. It turned out to be the best food we ate all week. The tapas was superb! Authentic? I'll say it was, without question, as good as anything you would eat in Spain and so very very tasty. Next time I'm in the Swansea area I know where I'm going for supper. I understand that Chef Naz will also cater for private functions so anyone with an event who wants Spanish food need look no further. 10 out of 10.

Great place, lovely atmosphere and the food was excellent

Excellent service and good food

It was largely empty on a Saturday night, that speaks volumes, the choice of beers was appalling, it seems that they want to make it into a Tapas bar which doesn't seem to be working, we had one drink and left.

Great food, staff very friendly. Nice decor

Just visited today for a light bite of tapas. Lovely food and the place has been done out really well. The staff were very nice. Will definitely recommend to others and we will call again

Fantastic food staff amazing all in all well recognised to visit here lovely welcome 😀

the beer garden was very gobblicious

Nice choice of tapas, great atmosphere!

Lovely food, the menu is limited to mainly tapas, but if that's what you like, it's good. Nice range of beer and cider

Lovely Tapas. Very tastefully done out. We were a big crowd to do tapas for but everyone enjoyed. Probably better to have buffet style another time. Cheaper local beers would be good.

Such a lovely atmosphere and great bar selection. Thanks Dean & Liane

Friendly service, quirky decor, great alcohol selection, Coaltown coffee 😊 lovely tapas

Lovely tapas indeed and worthy for the price specially the warm fire 🔥 to warm you up if you cold.

We have a great meal, excellent wine list we will return thank you

Been twice in the last week, once new years eve and then with my muddy boots on after a long walk on the weekend, both visits were amazing, staff so friendly and willing to help, the food again was delish, especially the King prawns, has to be my favourite. It's so nice that it is local to us and you can either go in your walking gear or get dressed up for the evening, it's important to feel comfortable and that is exactly what they do there. A great find in Pontardawe with lovley walks around. Superb. A must visit.

Fab food and a lovely place to meet friends

This is honestly one of the best bars in the area. What a gem of a place. Beautifully refurbished with a relaxing ambience. Friendly staff. Our large group had every tapas dish on the menu. Every dish was delicious. The wine selection is top notch. We'll be back.

Dissapointing Xmas menu. Food was cold. Sutch a shame. Will go back as I think the first year is always a difficult one.

Love the new decor and the food was amazing, can't wait to come again

Pub was nice enough and clean with a cosy fireplace and friendly staff, TJ served us and is a real asset to the place. Food was disappointing, very small portions for the price. Both my wife and I left hungry after having starters and mains. The brown bowls in the pics are tapas bowls so quite small.

Fab staff ,couldn't be nicer . Will call there soon for food

Very friendly staff and customers even to us from the wrong side of Offa's Dyke. Unusual interior layout, quirky. Comfortable.

Excellent service and social distancing well observed

Great atmosphere and the staff are legends

The place is nice, more oriented towards social drinking and watching sports than having a meal. We had a Sunday roast. Food was good, but I found it pricey, especially as desserts were not included in the menu and had to be paid for separately.

Very welcoming place . Good atmosphere great staff

Happy darters tonite...lovely welcome from Dale and his staff..Happy birthday Mair.🍾🍾🍷🍷🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂xxx

On 11th December a party of 20 of us had delicious food at The Ivy Bush. The service and staff were excellent. After food some of us sat in the bar where the log fire was burning. I highly recommend the Ivy Bush and will definitely return there.

An excellent atmosphere there, the staff are friendly and pleasant, the drinks are very reasonably priced and there is a wide range on offer including cocktails of your choice made on request. There was live music and a great pub experience. Only issues was access to the rear bear garden, which was slightly tricky due to the uneven ground, however the bear garden was lovely with seating and tables and well maintained and pleasent. Overall my night at the ivy bush was a great one, deffinately one of the best pubs in pontardawe these days. I'm looking forward to my next night there. X ☺️
