Llanfabon Inn in Caerphilly

A lovely pub n owners n staff.gutted they retiring but all the best 2m 4 the future n happy Xmas.hope gets sold soon.

Family of eight, every meal on point, steaks cooked to perfection. Beautiful setting,attentive staff. Thank you we will be back soon!! Big portions fair play !

Food was average but that is as good as it gets. No card machine so all payments are cash which stinks in the modern age. The landlord is rude and unwelcoming and prior to 10pm is making it clear that he wants to close up and does so at the earliest opportunity. There are much better local venues with better food, service, welcome and 21st century payment methods!

Fabulous little inn with a lot of character also boasts a large conservatory for those party events , the staff are excellent with a close nit family feel ? A great drinks menu with reverend james beer on tap one of my favourite tipples Plus Asti spumante ! The meals are large with big size plates And very nice a good choice of desserts also can highly recommend this place I have never had a poor meal here and always come back whenever I can !!

Lovely Sunday lunch, staff were very welcoming and polite clean and very friendly with a good choice if menu, we will return

Hidden gem in Nelson. Excellent value for money, nicely presented, fast and delicious food. Only dropped a star for no dark fruits on tap (sorry). . Friendly staff andservice. There was a dog friendly area too which was a bonus.

Took 4 family members for Sunday lunch at the llanfabon food was delicious as always will definitely be visiting again

Awful food and horrendous customer service from the owner Pat. No apology for the roast potatoes that tasted frozen and the children's chips were marked to show they were over cooked and hard to eat. My daughter refused to eat her food and the Sunday lunch wasn't edible as the chicken dry and like rubber. the beef was falling apart in bits. when we complained the main cook said "well you've eaten most of the food, so it can't be that bad!" Will never make a visit to this restaurant again. very disappointing experience.

me + my partner went there early evening, good homemade lovely meals, really good portions, good service, BUT be warned they do not take cards for payment only cash.

Nice old pub foid not bad shame the meat guard to be good but now one slice . Veg is all frozen even the roasted potatoes and parsnip all frozen Shane

Myself and a group of friends booked in for Sunday lunch!!! (Booking essential, as very popular & busy). Good choice of meat and vegetarian options available. High quality, tasty lunch. Even tried the cauliflower cheese side dish, which was amazing!!!! Superb value for money. Even though busy, service was excellent and waiting staff very polite!!!! 10/10!!!! Will be back!!!!!

Despite a fabulous Xmas meal we were disappointed yesterday with the Sunday lunch. Beef and lamb good but chicken tough. Cauliflower cheese overdone and not very cheesy. Roast potatoes were obviously shop bought. Roasted parsnip undercooked. Gravy delicious though. Desserts just OK. Not sure we'll return for a while. Must mention how good the serving staff were though.

Absolutely gorgeous meal this afternoon. A group of 4 of us were squeezed in without a booking and the service was second to none. We were kept informed by staff throughout our visit, that there may be a short wait due to those who had arrived ahead of us. When we'd ordered, the food was served quickly and was piping hot and the lamb chops cooked perfectly! The chips are chunky and crispy and mouthwatering and portion sizes are very generous. I would definitely recommend a visit.

A party of 13 of us had pre booked the festive menu. Every aspect of the meals was delicious from starters through to dessert. The 'real' meat was plentiful and delicious. Every meal came with its own serving of gravy. There was a variety of veg and the usual trimmings. The tables were set out to celebrate the season and there were even complimentary chocolates, tangerines and mince pies. We were over the moon with the meal and the service. The value was also tremendous. Thank you Llanfabon Inn.

Me and my family visited llanfabon for a birthday Sunday lunch it was delicious will be back soon xx

Popped to Llanfabon for a drink and crisps after a walk through the lanes. Lovely atmosphere outside. This was until I paid. Young lady behind the bar was on the phone, seemed as if the pub could not facilitate a table for tonight.A gentleman, what I assume to be the owner or the boss was extremely unpleasant to the lady saying no to this table with a fair few cuss words thrown out too. The young lady responded saying she was only doing what instructed to do and that there was only one other working in the restaurant today. The gentleman went and asked the young lad in the restaurant the same question to which he replied the same as the young lady. Lovely pub, it just seems that the staff are not treated as as they should be!

Called in whilst walking with dog.. enjoyed a baguette and drink. Friendly and fast service and the food was lovely . Shame it got cold outside or we would have stayed longer ..

Nice bit Sunday dinner that, piping hot , nice beef, real carrots, plenty enough for me, staff friendly and helpful and all protocols of government guidelines look to have been met.

We came here are a party of 11, after placing our order (which took forever to place) we waited 50 minutes for the food to arrive. So when the meals arrived we were all disappointed. You could see that the fish, chips were frozen not fresh! The scampi was soggy not crunchy as all? And the 1 steak was cold! The T-bone steak was very oily and flavourless! Also when we were half way through our meal the cleaner/waitress decided to come into the conservatory and start moving tables around very loadly and when we asked why she said there was another party arriving, we had to point out that nobody would be able to sit that closely to us due to the current social distancing rules!! We had a lovely time with family but we will definitely not be back! £150 for frozen farm food meals is definitely not for us unfortunately. The Diet Coke was nice

Not going to write to much. But I won’t be going back , steak cold , thinking we would have fresh fish but it’s frozen chips soggy, £150 , our meals cost for our large party that my husband paid for ,

Stopped here for lunch yesterday with my husband. We sat outside but I did go into the bar and everything felt very clean and Covid safe. Food was great and the service we received was faultless. Definitely recommended.

Lovely pub, food was amazing only reason for 4 stars is they don't have a card machine, very odd for 2020 where you need cash, other than that great meal out.

First time visiting last night, food was lovely and portions were great, the service was excellent! Couldn’t of asked for a better meal or service very well organised. Will definitely be returning

Despite the notice on trip advisor that this pub is closed by chance popped in after rambling on the hills in Mid July. Sat outside following the social distancing rules and had few pints and a latte. Wonderful location and nice to escape the doom and gloom of covid19 and support a local pub. The owner was very decent and had a nice welcome. Will certainly return and look forward to trying some food there.

Didn't realise you had a TripAdvisor page hence the late review.... visited in February for my husbands birthday. There was a group of 10 of us and I was very impressed as we were served so quickly despite ordering different meals. We have had many good meals here before and always recommend it if people are looking for fresh home cooked pub classics :)The quality and quantity of food served is always very good and the prices are always very reasonable. Only small downside is the no card machine as I have been caught out once before here.

Popped in on the off chance for lunch and what a pleasant surprise! Staff super friendly and excellent service! Food was excellent served with a generous side salad garnish! Stunning views!! If f you haven’t been here for a while then get back and give it a try!!

Visited this pub for a birthday meal in February,service was fab,only one young girl but she was very friendly and efficient. meals were quite large and hot. they sent a few pots of extra chips out as well which we didn't pay for so that was a nice gesture. The open fire gave it a homely feeling. Reasonably priced meals but I do feel the drinks were a little bit overpriced. Will visit again though

Meat that was very tender. Plenty of veg. Tasty sweets. Rare for Sunday lunch anywhere to see lamb included too. 2 courses £12.50. Really nice old place with lovely countryside view form the conservatory. Polite & speedy sewrvice. Definitely will return.

Have used this place several times previously with good food and reasonable prices but will be looking elsewhere in future. Very small portion of Steak Pie with hardly any filling only to be followed by a tiny portion of Gateaux which cost nearly a Fiver!

Beef was so tender i didn't need a knife to cut it. It was a thick slice more like a steak & was delicious. Vegetables nicely done too. Sweet desserts ended a great meal. Main & dessert £12.50 per head. Thank you to the staff.

Family friendly pub with excellent staff good food and excellent portions they do not take cards good selection of beer also.

Great food great service. Small friendly warm atmosphere greeted upon arrival by friendly bar staff Good choice menu as well. We will return

Lovely place to meet up for lunch. Menu incredibly reasonably priced and portions massive. Staff really friendly and log fire a dream. Warning... cash only!

I recently visited this restaurant and had an excellent welcome from Megan at the front of house. She was very polite and helpful the whole time I was there. The food was nice and portion size was good.

We called into the Llanfabon Inn today for lunch knowing from their website that they had a real wood burning fireplace. It has been so cold lately so we wanted somewhere cosy. Well the welcome from Hannah was both friendly and warming just right for a first time visit. The Rev James beer and their Chardonnay were excellent accompaniments to our meals that were tasty well cooked and good value, I had half chicken my wife chose lamb shank. The pub was quiet being the beginning of the week, but apparently gets very busy toward the weekend. Perhaps booking in advance would be advisable. We were pleased with everything and will certainly call again.

Whilst slightly off the beaten track this Olde Inn is well worth a visit. The welcome and service was great and the meals were well presented and exceptionally tasty

I found this the strangest Sunday lunch ever. Most certainly won't go back. The portion was enormous an poor. Roast pots were mushy small pots were peeled an not edible. Beef was the strangest stewed beef ever an the carrots an cauli werent cooked at all. The girls were lovely but the place needs alot of TLC. The lager was undrinkable. I go out most Sundays and this has got to be my worst experience yet

Four of us came up to wales from our hometown Southampton to visit family members. Who kindly took us here on our first night for a meal. We'll we can all honestley say that the food was delicious. No complaints from any of us. I asked for extra custard with my pudding and they delivered... Compliments to Gareth the chef and can I apologise for my cousin insisting he come out of the kitchen to have his photo taken. He was mortified... Makenzie the waitress was amazing.

fantastic afternoon lunch with friends.

Just got back from the Llanfabon had a fab meal once again. Would recommend the lamb shank and definitely the lumpy bumpy pudding. Great little pub / restaurant in a lovely quiet area with beautiful views. Well done front of house staff and kitchen staff👍👍🍰🍰🍻🍻

As a friends of 4on Sunday I fell I should write this as we seen a family of 3 where I must say the ladiespoke very polite and ask a question and the lady behind the bar just throw the bill down towards her and when she fetch our meal she was more concerned about talking to staff behind the bar about her holiday and birthday and the bar staff are quite rude the family left as a pub maybe they should have training as our veg was all cold and one small piece of beef and far to flyes with both doors open for my freinds to enjoy afternoon out I am afraid but thank you

Went for Sunday lunch today and ordered 2 lamb and 1 beef. The gravy came out followed 1 minute later by 1 beef, then 1 minute later the veg, followed 2 minutes later by 2 lamb. On the plates were roast potatoes and a roast parsnip, stuffing and a Yorkshire pudding. The only thing that was hot were the boiled potatoes everything else was lukewarm. Desserts were then ordered, which were 1 trifle, 1 lemon cheesecake and 1 jam sponge and custard. The cheesecake portion was tiny and again the custard was lukewarm. The cost was £12.50 for a roast and a dessert. We were very disappointed and will not be returning.

I have been visiting here for many many years and not once have I had a bad meal infact the Sunday roast is the best you will ever taste plentiful always hot and the beef is just melt in the mouth all very reasonably priced served by lovely staff. Cant fault this little gem in nelson❤

Lovely place to call in for lunch. Dog friendly. Only reason I'm not giving it a 5 is the menu never changes. Plus no disabled toilet. Not good enough these days. Beautiful views while sitting in conservatory.

First time we have called in here for a long time and what a pleasant surprise. The service was excellent, my wife had a Lamb Sunday Lunch and I had Ham with boiled potatoes. Both meals were excellent and but the ham was superb. Would highly recommend

I booked a table for two, a day in advance for 8pm.

Lovely pub, great food and very well priced. Great staff and a great building. All in all a great place for any occasion

Booking for 25 people,all orders on the night so a big task.

I go regular herewith a friend. Traditional the venue. Excellent prices and everything home made. Home made desserts also include gluten free choices. Staff always polite

We have been to this inn a few times now,we have always had a good meal and very good value.dont need to book

Tasty home made steak pie with chips (& gravy?) along with broccoli, carrots & peas then onion rings (onion rings?) bit of an odd combo perhaps. Chicken curry half & half also had onion rings? Chef couldn't do me coffee floater as he said he curdles the cream? Still it was plentiful & tasty. 3 meals, 2 desserts, 1 coffee, 1 pint of ale, 1 pint coke & glass of pineapple/lemonade £44. Not the largest menus but enough to choose from at those very good prices. Lovely view from there too & pleasant waitress.

Visited on previous times and OK for reasonably priced cheap and cheerful place.

A really lovely meal was had at the Llanfabon Inn this evening, with this being the second time we have visited. The pub offers classic pub grub done really well, with large portions at excellent value for money. Staff were very friendly and happy to help out with bringing out a birthday cake. Will definitely be back!

10 of us went for a birthday meal on a Sunday. I cannot fault the choice and quality of the food. We had traditional Sunday roasts, lasagne, ham and chips and childrens chicken nuggets. One of the party was vegetarian and had a choice! The desserts were to die for. We all said we would definitely return. Would highly recommend.

Had lunch here on sunday.was lovely.beef was sooo tender.plenty of veg and everything hot.well worth a visit.

Miserable bar staff, forced to pay half for uncooked food and cold peppercorn 'gravy' absolute rubbish..

Booked a table had a exalent main course asked for dessert menu then we waited and waited a table of four cane in had their main course and their dessert we were still waiting to order our dessert we got feed up and played for what we had asked if everything was ok we told them about our wait for dessert and left We decided to phone and complain about the time we had waited with out being served bit before we could say anything the manager jumped down our throughts saying it was our fault and that our complaint had up set the waitress sorry but if you can't do the job right. I would not if minded if the place was busy but it was quite the waitress just did not have a clue and the manage dos not know what is going on in the restaurant I put a lot of money their way with the business I run as I have always had good feed back form the place but they will get no more

Excellent food, we have enjoyed both weekday lunch and Sunday, will definitely return, Sunday Lunch, £11.50 for two courses and if you can’t eat the two, you can take your dessert home

Visited restaurant for my mother’s birthday meal. A Sunday bar menu and Sunday roasts were available. The food was lovely and thankfully they catered for a GF vegetarian. Price of meals was reasonable and the portions generous. Will pay a further visit in the near future.

Visited here for my mother’s 50th meal. There was 20 of us and the booking, ordering and speed of service was amazing. Food was delicious. Great portions and so reasonable. Can’t wait to come back.

We booked this place as we have been there before and enjoyed the food. We booked for 6.30 and were waiting until 7.55 before we had our food. When it came the food was nice with big portions but to me that is way to long. We had my nephew with us who is 5 and he started to get tired. We did ask about dessert but the waitress said she had to serve another table before she could take our order, which would be another delay. When we finished our plates were still in front of us until we left at 9.15.

This little gem is nestled in the rolling Welsh mountains. I little too far to walk from nearby villages but secluded in a peaceful setting. Great homely food and good value for money. I look forward to my next visit.

I really love the Llanfabon Inn, I have been coming here for a long time now and I really like the food, its basic pub grub at its best, really big portions in a nice welcoming cosy environment, you can eat in the restaurant section or in the bar which is always full of local characters, its got old fashion charm which I really like, great staff with excellent service and great prices - in the cold ask to sit by the fire its really nice!

I have put a positive review here previously but felt I needed to review again. what another lovely visit. the bar/restaurant/conservatory was totally full with customers but we could not fault the service,friendly and efficient staff. food was amazing and the portions are so generous we could not finish it all. once again good value for money, recommended and would book again. nice added extra was Easter chocolates on every table.

Can’t comment on the food as we walked out due to poor service.. walked in everyone in there stopped what they where doing and starred at us in silence like we was robbing the place.. after 10 minuets of looking for our reserved table we asked a waiter, then a woman questioned why we were sat there! we did inform the staff when we phoned to reserve that we had a pram and no efforts to remove a chair from a table so we could put the pram in safely. At this point I was so annoyed myself my partner and 2 kids left!! Not a friendly place at all!! Only gave 1 star because I had to to post this review!!

Booked here for my dad's birthday as I heared very good comments about the llanfabon. Booked 2 weeks before no hassle very polite on the phone on arrival seated straight away on a reserved table. Orederd food not long after sitting and wasnt long followed by the food. The food was amazing portions are more than genorouse my dad had to have 2 plates size of his pie I had gammon that took up half the plate nothing was left on anyone's plate it was all delisious we followed it up with dessert as that what I was looking forward to the most juat made the meal even better how tasty it was. Value for money I had to double check the bill as I thought they made a mistake and underpriced the meal but it was the actuall amount will certainly be returning here in the near future.

Had heard good reports about the food at the llanfabon inn. We arrived in good time for our 8.15 reservation, not greeted upon arrival and only able to sit when after searching we found a table with our name on it. We should have known the calibre of the cook when we saw on the menu which we also had to find ourselves that they don’t do starters and in large text NO CASH REFUNDS. We were approached by a young lad after we had been sitting at the table for 25 mins. We both ordered the duck in orange sauce and were promptly served.

Excellent service when 18 of us had a meal here. Although we hadn't pre ordered service was swift,very generous portions.

I moved to the area about 6 months ago and the Llandabon Inn has become favorite spot for a quiet pint or the occasional pub dinner - Friendly staff, great classic pub atmosphere that is becoming harder and harder to find nowerdays. Just remember to bring cash, they don't take card, which can be a bit of a pain - but it's worth a trip to the cash point to enjoy an evening here

6 of us visited this restaurant on a Saturday lunchtime as we were heading to a weekend away in a nearby hotel.

Just came home after having a great Christmas Meal at the Llanfabon Inn, we had only sat down for 10 Minutes when the Waitress came out with our orders, the Beef and Turkey was so tender you could cut it with a spoon, plenty of Meat and Vegetables, we also had a choise of 8 Desserts and after the meal we had Hot Mince Pies, also on the Table was a box of Mints and Satsumas, would strongly recommend.

Meal was the bomb absolutely stunning, value for money knocks socks off any other Xmas dinner I have had out. Must try x

Such a shame as we ve been here a few times before and enjoyed the food. I think they struggled because we were a larger group of people. I wouldnt advise to book here as a party of people with separate food orders. The gamon was overcooked. It had discoloration on the ends of the pieces. It was like a purple colour. The gamon was also curled up

This has been one of my favourite pubs to eat in for many years and I never usually write these sorts of reviews but I can't believe the recent experience that I had. I took my Mother to eat in the restaurant a week ago for her birthday and we had a lovely enjoyable meal in the conservatory. At the end of the meal I noticed something floating in the vinegar! 3 dead flies! I went over to the other table to look in one of the other vinegar bottles. 2 dead flies in that one too! Both me and my Mother had covered our meals in vinegar before eating them! I spoke to the waitresses about this who initially tried to say that it "was just the vinegar" until I told her to look in the bottles under the light and then she agreed that there were dead flies in the bottles. She then went to speak to the "big boss" and he didn't even come to speak to us personally or apologise! We were asked to pay for the drinks only. We left feeling incredibly sick and will not be returning.

Had an amazing day here celebrating our wedding the staff were excellent friendly and so helpful before during and after the wedding, food was outstanding everyone enjoyed I can't thank you enough for all you done room looked perfect

If you want an honest well cooked Sunday lunch, great service, fab atmosphere and dramatic views, then this is the place, But book a table as it's a jewel well frequented. They also do a very good evening dinner.

I went there for a Sunday dinner and for the second time I found hair in my food.. I complained so the plate went back with the hair on n came back without the hair on n I was basically called a liar n no apology I was disgusted. Then there was no spoons there for our dessert we had to wait for them to be washed. We waited an hour for food with no apology for that either n the young girls attitude was disgraceful. The lady owner was not interested either I will never go there again

We'd booked a large table for a joint family celebration. The only good thing about the experience was the food. The biggest portions of beautifully cooked food at a cheap price. However, the service was awful. The staff had bad attitudes, did not care and did not stick around when you had an issue. You had to actually shout to get them to stop and they'd walk off part way through you speaking to them. They served chipped plates and dishes, where part of the china had chipped into the food!! And although they swapped the plate, they were not apologetic for it. Mains were arriving across a 40minute gap, so people had finished before others had started eating. They cleared half the table, left the rest of the half eaten food and then offered us the dessert menu. We gave up waiting to be asked for our dessert order after about 40minutes and requested they come to take our order, we were kept waiting still and had to ask AGAIN. Still they were unable to serve our table properly, with desserts arriving after others had finished, and cheesecake and cream being served on a plate !?? Ridiculous! We arrived at 1pm and left about 4pm, we will not return.

Have eaten at the llanfabon countless times over the years and have always had top quality food. You always get fresh food and lots off it. My hubby always has the T-bone steak which is huge, he always manages to finish everything on his plate as it is too good to leave, even if it means he can hardly move afterwards. I love the cod and chips which is always so good. Whenever we think about going out for a meal our daughter always insists on going here as she loves it. The Sunday roasts are also excellent, the beef is simply delicious and our favourite. Can't wait for our next meal, which won't be too long away.

There were 19 of us out to cekebrate 3 wedding anniversaries during August. The food was lovely and plenty of it although the menu was limited we did enjoy our food but I don't think we will be visiting for food again. Some of the dishes had chips in them and one member of the party found little chips from them actually in her dinner when she started eating

Visited on a lunch time, couldn't believe the portion sizes! Food was well cooked and very good value for money, will definitely be back

A fabulous family meal for my granddaughter's birthday even though we only booked for 29 people a week before. Every meal was piping hot & delicious. Would highly recommend, friendly staff, gorgeous food & amazing service.

We popped in for food on a friday night and the place was full with 2 parties and some other couples but even with so many people the food came in a reasonable time and the quality wasn't lost one bit, in fact the TBone steak was the best i have ever had and the rest of the meal was lovely as well, the service was great and i could not recommend this place more, both quality and quantity at a reasonable price. My only regret was that I didn't take a scalpel to get more of the meat off the bone!

Just came back after having a fantastic meal at The Llanfabon Inn. Had to wait a while for our meal because there were 3 parties booked in but the staff couldn't apologise enough for the wait, there was so much food on the plates that we brought our desserts home with us, very friendly staff I would recommend The Llanfabon Inn to everyone

A party of 13 went to celebrate my daughters birthday. Lovely atmosphere,They don't do starters, but with the portion sizes of the main meals you don't need it. Food was lovely, hot and large portions. Service was good, all the meals came together.Our waiter was pleasant and nothing was to much trouble. Will definitely go back.

Arrived on a Friday evening circa 8pm for dinner, table was booked prior to arrival as telephone conversation indicated they would be busy...Arrival & Service:Table reservation was hand written with name and time. Upon arrival no-one was really around to show us our table, this was done by the bar man in the manner of "theres your table". Sat down, had two drinks from the bar and proceeded to wait for approx 15minutes with no waitress service. I had to fetch my own menus, two of which were wordly completely differently with regards to what the main meals were served with.I have no issue with fetching menu's but I have issue with being left alone and not being told to get them myself. This could have been explained by the barman quite easily.The pub wasn't particularly busy to which I was previously led to believe and if it wasnt for the party of people occupying the annex it would have been relatively quiet.Food:Average pub grub. I had a curry and the other half a lasagne, both served with side salad which was decent, more than just half a tomato and a slice of lettuce. The other half enjoyed her lasagne and whilst my curry was tasty it did seem a bit pre-prepapered. Chips were the usual frozen ones. We didn't both with desert although reviews to suggest they are very good. I beleive the pub does not offer starters. Both meals came to £18 not including drinks. Drink were approx £6.30 (one pint of worth and a diet coke (pint)).The pub within the last year has had a new annex built which houses the toilets. This looks lovely outside and inside with tiled floors and walls. Money has been spent here which is good to see.The pub does not take card payments, only cash or cheque is accepted. No wifi or anywhere to charge phones/laptops that I could see, so not much good for business meetings etc.Improvements are needed, whilst the annex is a good start the website needs work along with standardising the menu/s and introducing card payments if possible.

First time have, have driven passed many times. Lovely menu, especially for a sunday. Really friendly, efficient without being pushy. Definately go again.

went here for Sunday lunch on advice of local customer there was a wait of 40 mins for our lunch .the vegetables and Yorkshire pudding were frozen I knew this as my mother used to use as convenient for her. even though the staff were polite and friendly we won't be returning

I have been here on many occasions and I have always found them to be consistent with their portion size and quality of their food

lovely meals that suit all tastes large portions ,and a good choice on the menu . Delicious desserts . friendly atmosphere and in the winter a coal fire to keep you warm .

Visited on a Saturday night, very busy. We were greeted warmly and served quickly. The meals were lovely, home cooked and very generous portions. Excellent value. We'll be back!

My husband and I had lunch here today. Excellent friendly service, excellent tasting food, large portions. It was a really nice experience. The meals are traditional and homely. Would definitely recommend The Llanfabon Inn. A true gem.

Remote, excellent customer service, and tasty food. Nice woodern fire. Definitely worth a visit. Plan to return again.

A party of 10 went to this pub last night for a meal the young girl took our orders and then came back and said that there was only 1 cod left. So I chose ham on the bone with new potatoes and salad and my husband had the cod and the other 2 had the plaiceWhen my meal came it was with chips and onion rings with a little lettuce 1 piece of tomato and a slice of cucumber but as they didn't do starters and we had waited so long for the food I took it but only ate the meat my husband's fish looked like the ones you have in a box from Iceland and it was over cooked the batter was burnt so overall not a good experience don't think we will be returning as everyone's food wasn't very nice disappointed with the quality of the food served here

Visited here with family and friends a party of ten for a birthday celebration. The Inn was full, atmosphere good. Service was quick once the orders were taken. Meal typical British menu, not an extensive choice and no starter menu listed. However the food was served piping hot and large portions, everyone enjoyed the food. Limited choice of wine but apparently the red wine was good.Desserts were lush and good choices.Worth a try

We are regular visitors to the Llanfabon Inn. We have always had excellent quality food and like the pleasant cozy atmosphere the pub has to offer. They have a vast selection of main courses, and always have a delicious looking selection of desserts on offer. My personal recommendation is the toffee lumpy bumpy dessert.

What a lovely pleasant experience. Beautiful food, very reasonably priced and great service . Will be booking again very soon. Thank you for accommodating my daughters and myself at such a short booking

Went here to a 50th birthday party. Been here before a year ago, since then the there has been work done to a high standard. A really homely inn log fire. The service is great the staff work well. There was about 20 in our party and we were all served in minutes. So we all ate at the same time. Very clean recommended.

I have had many Sunday lunches here. The menu is average for a Sunday lunch pub but the food is above average with portions so generous that eating a dessert is usually difficult but worth the effort!

Myself and my two colleagues called in here for a quick lunch and business chat following a meeting. I picked the place having read the reviews but failed to check whether it was a venue geared up for business lunches - it is not.That said, there was a friendly welcome and the three of us were shown to a (too small) table to have lunch. We gave up on laptops and just resigned ourselves to lunch without the aid of office paraphernalia. Quite a novelty really...We ordered a pot of tea. It was duly delivered - in three stages. 1) Pot of boiling water, 2) three teabags on a plate and 3) three mugs. I'm a bit finicky about tea, it has to be at boiling point for me. Unfortunately, the time lapse between the delivery of the ingredients made it a 'less than' cuppa for me. I routinely have far superior tea at my weekly visit to Pontypool Harvester.We decided on a smaller mean and all ordered the same thing - a toasted sandwich. I idly noted on the menu that it came with chips and onion rings. I was imagining a few token chips and a few raw onion rings (which I would have left anyway)... so when we saw the waitress staggering over with a single plate I wondered if all of our food was on the one plate together. No. This was a single massive portion. Back and forth to the kitchen she scuttled until all three plates were in situ. We surveyed...The portions are GIGANTIC. The bloomer sandwiches were very well filled and would have been quite enough on their own. Half the plate was piled with chips and the promised salad was employed as 'bedding' for the sandwich. Two half tomatoes wobbled precariously as the sides of each of the plates.The food was delicious but there was just too much. If there is a Rugby team looking for an ample snack to re-load the calories after that brilliant win, well - this is the place for you.I'm giving the pub four stars because:a) They were winding down lunch service and did accommodate us and our particular requirements.b) The food was well made and very generous.I've left off one point because:c) It's not the easiest venue to find.d) It's far more casual than advertised (no plugs, WIFI or anything else a business traveller might need)e) The staff seemed a bit 'out of sorts'; perhaps it was just us, we unnerved them maybe?Overall, I would return but for a casual lunch with friends/partners - but not colleagues.
