The food was outstanding, the service poor. I had to go twice to ask the waitresses to bring stuff. They brought the Sunday lunch with no veg. Had to go and ask. This is such a beautiful venue, hope the customer care improves!

We really like Machynys and its restaurant. For us it's often the place for celebrations. On this occasion, we just went for breakfast before our son was to go back off to university. My wife had pancakes with honey, compote and yoghurt. There were three small pancakes but just one more would have been spot on. She really enjoyed them. My son and I had Machynys breakfasts. Diced avocado and tomatoes on toast, poached eggs and Glamorgan sausage. Now I have always enjoyed the food here, but today was the exception. It was not enjoyable at all. One slice of toast had two undercooked poached eggs with runny clear whites. The avocado and tomatoes were not on the toast but to the side, and they basically consisted of cherry tomatoes, chopped avocado and loads of salad cream, or something similar. It wasn't particularly enjoyable at all, but I was so hungry I ate it. The sausage however was quite nice. Our first cup of coffee did come quite cold, but the second made up for it - that was hot. This place is lovely. Great surroundings and a nice atmosphere with very reasonable prices - and it's not at all expensive. It's just that today, my food was not at all good. I will return though, as I just expect this to be a blip, a bad food day.

Very disappointing meal this evening. 3 of us ordered short rib of beef and after waiting an hour it was tough and inedible. Waitress took it back and gave us menus to choose replacement meals - but didn’t come back to take order! Eventually after being asked another waitress took our order and replacement meals arrived two hours after we originally ordered. Manager couldn’t be bothered to come and apologise. Free drinks didn’t compensate for a ruined evening - and embarrassing for our hosts.

We visited Machynys for an afternoon of golf for my partner on the beautiful grounds whilst I had a massage and facial with Katy. She was so lovely, and the treatments one of the best I ever had whilst being incredibly reasonably priced. Had a drink at the bar upstairs afterwards and the view was just breathtaking. Came back for lunch at the Brasserie the following day and that was lovely too. What a gem to have discovered, can’t wait to come back.

Booked for Sunday lunch, my husband's was cold, reheated in microwave. Mine was warm, beef tender, roast potatoes appeared to have been cooked days ago & warmed up. Parsnip couldn't cut through one end, too hard. Very disappointed with food, not exactly cheap. Expected better for such a lovely setting. Waitress was lovely & very apologetic, not her fault. We booked quite early, so food should have been piping hot & fresh.

Lovely location but - My friends and I come here every month for brunch and usually the food is very good . However today it was poor - I don’t know if the chef has changed since last time …. Two of us ordered eggs Benedict - they had run out of muffins so the eggs were on toast ! The poached eggs were hard and the hollandaise sauce was vinegary . Not nice at all . Hopefully next month it will be better again !

It's a shame that the staff have their phones out, while behind the bar, and are more interested in that than serving customers. Usually, we have very chatty and polite staff. And shockingly, it was a maturer lady encouraging the youngsters . Only happened once, just had to mention it, as a request to review popped up.

The food continues to be very poor at this venue. Each time we visit it’s disappointing. On this occasion the burger was served in a black seeded bun which was unappealing and was dry and tasteless, served with chips and tiny pot of coleslaw! The lamb biryani was a greasy, unappealing lamb shank protruding from dry overcooked rice with a tiny pot of curry sauce on the side! The meal was truly awful and looked disgusting!! We were offered a doggie bag instead of something else. We live locally and would visit more often if the food was good. Owners of this venue, up your game as the venue itself is lovely with great views!!

Disappointed! Burger and chips ordered. We ordered first so expected fresh cooked food. It came out looking old pre heated chips, see picture. No garnish No wow I came once before and prayed it was better. But it’s not. If you’re playing golf and fancy a bacon sandwich after they looked basic but ok. But please don’t go here expecting anything other than pre heated food. Nicest thing was the coleslaw but that was it. We went on a Saturday and it was busy, but not that busy to cook chips from fresh. The menu was very expensive for what it was. Such a disappointment for this venue as it could be amazing. Home cooked fresh meals with imagination is needed. I won’t be coming back again until new chef and menu that is worthy or such high prices.

I've had lunch here many times and enjoyed it but the roast today was very average. The plate was swimming in gravy, no jug offered. The roast potatoes were soft and everything was just warm enough. There was plenty of beef though a bit tasteless. 3 courses costs £29.95 plus £2 extra for the beef. My prawn cocktail was average and dessert fine but for £32 I expected a better meal. We were both hungry so ate our meal but ordinarily i would have sent the plate back. Such a shame as I like the atmosphere of the bar with its great views over the golf course. Just because it was a late lunch, 3pm ish, I still expect decent quality food. Need to try harder.

We came here for a 21st Birthday meal and were very disappointed. The waitress was very robotic and lacked warmth. Ordered the two course £35 menu. Starters arrived, one was stone cold. Waited nearly an hour for our mains. The food was substandard. Had to pay extra for sides and then they got the order wrong. Waitress leaned across us and asked us to pass a plate to the other side of the table. Only positive point was the senior waiter who was really friendly, professional and dealt with our complaints and apologised, giving us a reduced bill. Restaurant is very overpriced and they need to be more selective when employing staff.

Booked a table for 2. Shown to our table straight away. Drink order was taken. The drinks were brought to our table by a young girl who literally plonked them on the table & she definitely needed to put a smile on her face. The food itself very disappointing for what we paid. It was cold. The plates were stone cold. For £34.00 for 2 courses would have expected a lot more. Such a shame it once used to be a lovely place to go.

A little underwhelming. Size of portions a bit strange - starters quite large, mains a bit scanty. I had the truffle chicken and it tasted of very little except for the cream sauce, which had odd white lumps in it - maybe a thickening agent gone wrong, as the sauce was very thin. It was served 'with asparagus' which meant two spears, though well cooked, and gnocchi, which turned out to be badly fried, unseasoned, potato croquettes. A bland dish, which you will want to order sides with. Service good, though not particularly fast and we were never given a drinks menu, location stunning. Half the other guests were couples on dates, and although the food is a bit mediocre the setting, particularly around sunset, is wonderful.

Booked a table, arrived on time, they cook fresh which is fine don’t mind a little wait. Everything was being packed up which I totally understand as was a late booking 10:15, advertised until 10:30, however after 50 minutes still hadn’t had a freshly cooked breakfast because the woman in the kitchen (which you can see from the table) had major attitude with the waitress and forgot to cook half of the breakfast. If I could have had a bowl of cereal then might have been something but it was put away. Then when I asked about the breakfast and why people that came in later had eaten and left, they said there was an issue with a poached egg pan. I’d have happily had scrambled or a fried one if they had said 30 mins earlier. Has majorly put me off and can say I won’t be coming back, will just go to Morrisons cafe next door!

Stopped off here for lunch with my elderly mum and was pleasantly surprised. Whilst the seating was adequate the staff were very friendly and cleared vacated tables promptly. The drinks and food menu’s had plenty of choice and I decided to have the jacket potato with chicken curry which came with a salad garnish. The portion was great and the chicken curry was delicious…mum had a toasted sandwich which came with a small salad, coleslaw and some crisps. Both very reasonably priced and would not hesitate to recommend if you are looking for a lunch time bite. We will return.

Brilliant seafood starters. Cosy atmosphere and great service. Varied menu encompassing Welsh specialities and tasty pub grub, nice cold beer and soft drinks. Definitely recommend the chips as they are very crispy. Mushy peas with a twist. We enjoyed our meal in the secluded den watched over by a giant grizzly bear. A must visit if you are in the area!
