The wife and I had a great first time at the King Brychan. My wife is the carvery was great with plenty of options. My mix grill was also nice. Would have had desserts if we had any room left. We served by lovely chap called Aneirin, who greeted us with a smile and made sure everything alright. Would definitely come back next time we are in Merthyr Tydfil.

king Brychan is our go to pub for a quick meal on this occasion I was slightly disappointed with the quality of my meal . I opted for the 8oz Sirlion cooked Rare on appearance the steak looked great but on taste I found it to be really chewy and tough. This was the 1st time in numerous meals I have had at the king brychan m that I have not been happy with the quality of the steak. I ordered the ribs as a side they were delicious as always . The service is great as always and the staff do really work hard to ensure the tables are clean and food is served within a reasonable time. I did find myself waiting at the bar to be served as no staff in attendance maybe they need to add 1 or 2 more to the rosta on a Friday and Saturday. Thank you

My experience wasn't very positive- It was very busy but thankfully we booked a table for 11. Quite a few things missing on the menu, I ordered a baguette which was terrible- bacon was missing, cheese was lacking and two bits of chicken in a bread roll- was very disappointing but I did receive a refund. Toilets were very dirty and unkempt. The walls behind our table were filthy and made me wonder what the kitchen was like. The staff didn't really seem too happy and didn't really want to be there. The rest of the party had ok food and it arrived on time, although the chicken nuggets for the kids meal were over cooked. One of the party had a dairy allergy and the wrong burger was served to her, luckily her mum realised before she ate it. Could have been a disaster!! We also asked for some crayons to go with the colouring on the children's menu- the only ones that the manager found were being used by another child and so he took a few from him to share amongst the 8 children on our table - half term with no colours!! I will not be returning and I think this pub needs an overhaul...

Terrible service in here today, wouldn't accept a valid gift card because "it's a bank holiday" which is not part of the terms and conditions of the gift card or the pub. So just purely made up for some unknown reason?

I ordered fish and chips for £15 and got a small amount of chips and a piece of fish, the looks were deceiving as it was mostly batter over cooked and didn’t even come with a lemon to squeeze. My food took an hour to come for a not Verry busy pub the waiter had an attitude and when asked to do a simple task as part of their job they rolled their eyes and left promptly. I would not recommend if you are in the area you are better off going to McDonald’s .

My partner Ordered hunters chicken and they threw the bacon on top as If they forgot it I ordered the cow boy burger which is meant to be a BEEF patty but for some reason it tasted of fish I think the chef needs to clean his grill a bit more often overall food is bland and burnt. Staff didn’t check in on us to make sure the food was good and were nowhere to be seen to complain to so had to walk out.

Absolutely shocking value for money ! Ordered a vegetarian curry which cost £12.99 . Absolutely pathetic portion sizes and didn't even come with a poppadom or naan bread ! Husband and son also had curries , again minimal portion sizes , but at least theirs came with a naan bread . When queried I was told I had to pay extra for anything additional to go with the vegetarian curry or 50p for a poppadom , I was surprised at this as the meal was very small and should of been offered free of charge during my query and disappointment . As mentioned in the reply, the lovely lad at the end offered a free drink and in all fairness apologetic. Think I was mostly upset about not being offered a free naan during the conversation with the lady when queried but appreciated the offer of a free drink when I was asked was everything OK by the waiter at the end of the night. Disappointed as it wasn't value for money but thanks for the reply.

We stayed here for one night. Staff on reception was nice. We had a family room which was clean but the bathroom did smell strongly of damp which, reading other reviews, does seem to be an issue at this hotel. We also ate both dinner and breakfast at the adjoining table table restaurant but the food was well below average. Again though, staff were very nice and polite. It was ok for one night but we wouldn't return.

Unfriendly but my kids were hungry hence went in. The staff were not professional and didn’t communicate and had to wait 3-5 minutes until served and it could have been because they were stacking up the supplies but this could have been communicated if that was the case.
