Called in for a meal with my partner and her cousin the food was excellent and the service really good the staff we curtious and polite and extreemly helpfully the prices were good alround a truely good night out

Have been twice recently with friends for birthdays. Coincidentally on Thursdays, which turned out to be pub quiz. Was long quiz, but fun and food was really good! Friendly landlord/chef. Lovely atmosphere and the staff were very polite youngsters.

Excellent Sunday lunch beautifully cooked with a choice of 3 meats served with seasonal veg, mash, roasties and yorkshire pud and a large gravy boat full of rich gravy, cauli cheese as extra was a lovely addition, very reasonably priced, lovely and efficient staff.

Beautiful Sunday lunch - highly recommend.. Great size portion, meat (beef) was tender, plenty of veg & gravy - piping hot & fresh! x

Went for a meal tonight with friends. This is the second time I've been and again it was excellent. There was a large group of us. We all had a different main meal. All arrived together, piping hot and very tasty. Perfect size portions, excellent table service. All round excellent experience. Highly recommend it. Will be back again soon. Thank you The Mount Pleasent. Really enjoyed

Absolutely gorgeous home cooked meal. Worth the visit. Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. The banoffe waffle was divine!

Yet a fantastic evening at The Mount Pleasant Inn!! Great atmosphere, AMAZING food!! Definitely worth a visit thankyou!

Amazing tasting food, great portions, fantastic service in an amazing place. Well done. Would definitely recommend for friends or family events. Superb.

Beautiful food, wonderful staff and owners. Cannot fault it in any way at all. You won't be disappointed. The Sunday roast is something else, my favourite place.

Fantastic Sunday dinner at the Mount Pleasant Inn. Food was spot on and the service was excellent. Would highly recommend.

I could not recommend The Mount Pleasant more. A warm, friendly and inviting atmosphere; and very kind, considerate and professional staff. I tried the Sunday Lunch for the first time yesterday after planning to for a long time, and it did not disappoint. The Starter (Jack Daniels Chicken) and Dessert (Lemon Meringue Pie) I had were also so good, I didn’t even manage to take photos before diving straight in. I’ve now experienced Sunday Lunch, Pizza Night, Burger Night and Curry night at The Mount Pleasant and it’s safe to say if ever I fancied any of those meals or cuisines again; The Mount Pleasant would be my go to every time. 10/10. The best pub, the best food and the best people. Fantastic value for money. Don't miss out!

What a Sunday dinner, absolutely beautiful, like real home cooked food but better. I had the lamb and my husband had the beef, we also ordered cauliflower cheese. Everything was cooked to perfection and couldn't fault a thing. It was just beautiful. Will definitely be back

Booked this a few weeks ago, this is a great little pub the food was amazing (3 course sunday lunch) there was so much and piping hot, couldn't fault it one bit. The staff were all outstanding. Meal was booked for 4pm for 8 of us. Then we had entertainment, Tina Sparkle Sunday Funday, music bingo, play your cards right, open Tina's Bag and karaoke.. Will return as it was a great afternoon/evening.

Had Sunday lunch. It was faultless looked after by ffion and amy.the food was fresh and tasty. I rang Thurs and it was booked out.theu rang me to know would I like a book. Still Bril customer service looking forward to my next time

12 of us visited yesterday for a Sunday lunch. Yet another enjoyable meal.. can't fault the food or the service. Will be back for another one in a couple of weeks. If you haven't tried a Sunday lunch here yet then you really need to!

This pub has a very active social media presence so I knew it was burger night tonight and rang ahead to book and boy did it not disappoint! Plenty of space to eat and drink outside on the new decking that has only recently been redone and when sat out there, especially in the early evening when the sun is going down and the string lights above are lit up, the atmosphere is so chill! We each had a burger and upgraded our fries to loaded fries and everything tasted so good!! Good portion size for what you pay and quite reasonably prices for the quality of the food! Staff were also really welcoming and couldn’t do enough for you which is always a bonus! Highly recommend, will be coming back for food definitely!

Went to this family run local pub for a picnic table today. The food was locally sourced and cooked fresh, it was delicious The staff were amazing, so friendly and welcoming This a great family and dog friendly pub and I would recommend it to everyone

Outstanding food, staff & service. Sunday lunch was absolutely fantastic a definite must for anybody.

When we moved to Cwmbran in 2019, this was a lovely little local that didn’t quite come through covid. It needed a lot of work and love put into it and we stopped going. Since the new owners have taken over and created a lovely outdoor space, the pub has a new life. It has a real identity now as a friendly local with lots of events and I’m so glad it’s been taken over by a couple who have such a strong vision for it. We live literally a stones throw from the pub and had disregarded it since covid and now will be making much more of an effort to go. Personal highlight was drag queen music bingo which was a hilarious night and I managed to win £90! I really felt like I was on holiday sat in the beer garden, no cares in the world. We will eventually get down there for some food because it looks incredible. Well done to the new owners for restoring the pub to a proper community hub with a real sense of identity. Proud to call you our local!

Lovely curry at the pub tonight sat outside on the stunning decking area .Jack and Jasmine are doing an amazing job and this pub , the food ,the cocktails and the atmosphere was fantastic , my family and myself had a great time and will definitely be going back again .Sunday lunch next 😋 which I've been told is delicious well done everyone at the pub we had a fab time see you soon

After many enjoyable sunday lunches at the the Mount Pleasant Inn we decided to try the Picnic table and i must say we were not disapointed 5 of us dined and all but 1 managed to finish it all, the steak burger was delicious as were the cheesy chilli chips and crispy onion rings in fact everything was to a very high standard as always and the 4 desserts outstanding I have to add that the recently refurbished car park and the extended decking area outside have been done to a very high standard, no negatives at all a very enjoyable experience and something a little different to sunday lunch which by the way i can highly recommend

Really like the vibe here now with the new owners. Responsive on facebook and very helpful when I had to change guest numbers due to an elderly relative being unwell. We had the Sunday lunch with a large group. Really good value. Then more recently we came back for pie night. Oh my word the pies are absolutely delicious. 💯

Wow. The best Sunday lunch I've had in a while. Lovely selection of meats and veg. And a delicious dessert. Will definitely be back.

Nice to get back to normal the food was really up to standard and the staff superb really a good experience one of the best inns in Cwmbran thank you to all the staff for a wonderful lunch

Always friendly, good beer and nice food.The lady lady and all her staff are very friendly and welcoming as are the locals.Favourite place in cwmbran to call in for a relaxed beer and some food.Food offering it quite simple but that’s what should be on offer and it’s done pretty well at the right price.

Beer food service .. especially the excuse of a landlady crap the whole lot ... visited few years ago with different management.. young guy running it back then, we only came because of the food we once had( which was very good , only reason we came back) food this time was no good at all. Crap .

Good food nice friendly service and it’s little quaint pup with a nice selection of beers behind bar and the locals are all friendly try it out

Hi to you all food is very nice yet two Hunters chickens very nice chilli con carne with rice rice was packet not fresh gammon steak very nice only complaint when they put the food on the plates the plates are called which then makes the food go cold quicker maybe you could learn from this jam roly-poly and custard outstanding

Had a fantastic meal I had the lamb which was cooked to perfection beautiful fresh veg and delicious gravy home made desert was to die for absolutely mouthwatering would definetly recommend this place advisable to book in advance as very popular due to excellent food and curtious staff we all loved it not one complaint and about 25 of us went from our local RBL club

This has always been my choice of pub but it has gone down hill rapid, the choice of beers is non existent! Now selling brains smooth instead of John Smith's, after 2 pints of their new beer I spent 4hrs on the toilet!!! So it is not recommended unless you need a good clean out!!! Will be putting my good hard earned money into somewhere else!! Very disappointed.

A very friendly locals pub. Undoubtedly the best pub in Cwmbran. Great selection of ales and great food.

Popped in for a drink after a walk and the pub was very friendly atmosphere was good too. Locals were friendly and chatty.

Pontnewydd Male Choir performed their annual Christmas concert at the Salvation Army Citidal on Wesley Street last night (15th) which concluded with the choir members retreating to the Mount Pleasant for the after glow only to be provided by a lovely finger buffet kindly provided by landlady Louise much appreciated by all.The Mount is well worth a visit for nice home cooked food great selection of beers, largers and real ales.That's why is home to Pontnewydd Male Choir.

A small group of five went on a Wednesday evening for a birthday dinner. The early bird dinner is served between 5.30pm to 6.30pm for a two course meal. Nice selection of food and very reasonably priced, food presentation was excellent, and very friendly landlady, its a small but busy pub, but would highly recommend.

nice menu varied choices very helpful landlady ,family @staff.real ale proper local pub.rediscovered after many years absence . highly recommended .

They do nice meals here but the Inn is quite small and tables are too near together,they are expensive,the staff are pleasant.

Popped in for a quick drink one lunchtime just before Xmas. Very friendly staff with a warm welcome. Quite a few people were having Xmas dinner.......it looked lovely. Regulars were also friendly. Have never been before and was a little apprehensive. But will definitely return and have some food.

Don't often go out for Sunday lunch as it's usually a disappointment with frozen veg and shop Yorkshire puddings. Was pleasantly surprised everything is home cooked my husband paid extra for mixed meats and he had heaps of tender lamb, beef and chicken. Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes were also nice though not crispy. I had vegetarian sausages. Good value meal with option of 3 courses the creamy mushrooms were nice but would have preferred the bread be toasted just my preference the Pate my husband had was great and lots of it. All in all left full and couldn't fit in a desert will definitely return maybe try a mid week meal. Good to see proper home cooked meals at a good price

The Mount is a very good, friendly pub., which serves excellent food and keeps a very nice variety of beers and ales. Isca Morris goes there every month after practice and we occasionally play there and are very well received by the customers and owners. It is highly recommended by me.

Nice meal(proper chips too). Good Service. Good Beer. Enjoyable evening. Will visit again. Thank you all at 'The Mount'. Only small downside being its a bit warm inside the Pub. Could do with some Air-Con.

Called into the Mount Pleasant on the off chance for Sunday lunch without a booking accommodated as always thanks Sophie. It was lovely to sit outside an eat very nice as always.

Visitamos el monte para comer el domingo, fue ordenado limpio y olía genial cuando entramos. El personal era increíblemente servicial y hicieron que nuestra visita tan agradable nos sentimos como si estuviésemos en casa, la cena fue magnífica, verduras cocinado a la perfección, y salsa casera Yorkshires y la carne se caían a pedazos. Absolutamente delicioso y sin duda volveremos. Los precios son muy buenos para la calidad y cantidad de la comida que recibimos. La próxima vez que sin duda voy a probar uno de los postres caseros! ! Lo que era "adecuado". pub !

Booked early and had a fantastic lunch with all the family, mother in law, grand children, daughter, food extremely good with locally grown vegetables good selection of sweets wines and ales, staff very friendly and helpful all in all a thoroughly good meal well done to the landlady and all her staff thank you all from the Davies family

Es un buen pub. El personal y los propietarios son geniales. La cerveza es genial. Tienen dos grifos en rotación para cervezas cervezas locales/que son (consultas tesauro) genial.

Un muy agradable almuerzo de domingo. Vale la pena visitar nada. Una muy buena entrada de champiñones con ajo.

El pub es un soplo genuina de aire fresco. Tan pronto como entramos, nos saludaron calurosamente y nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos. Las mesas y el pub en sí estaban muy limpias y el pub mantiene sus ale muy bien. También hay vasos de vino es impecable, y el recién inaugurado. Para los entendidos, tienen 2 cervezas pero son regularmente rotadas para ofrecer variedad.

Celebrated my wives birthday at the Mount. We had a Sunday Lunch which was well cooked, hot and delicious. We now aim to make this a monthly treat. Highly recommended.

From the moment we entered we felt welcome-the staff are very friendly and pleasant. I was pleased to see a hygiene score of 4. The real ale was very well kept and there was a choice of two. Obviously if more people drank it I am sure the choice would improve. The whole building, including the toilets was immaculate. It was the sort of place where you relax the whole evening. Another lovely thing was the good mixture of clients and not once did I hear any swearing or other yobbish behaviour. They do a quiz on a Thursday-might well visit for that. Also dogs are welcome-as they should be in a Welsh pub. One thing I would improve and that is the very lengthy menu should be reduced -even massive hotels with armies of chefs don't do so much! Smaller menu and more unusual home cooked meals would be good. Oh and I forgot, no television, brilliant-pubs do not need them except for the rugby. There was a little non intrusive background music only which ensured good conversation. Thank-you

Everything superb at this lovely old pub.unbelievable value for money.staff are so friendly too.will definitely be back.Sunday lunch has been highly recommended.I hear their.s a super deal on Wednesdays for OAP,S

Went here for a Christmas meal with family, the starters, mains and desserts had a wide variety. Food was delicious and the service was excellent. Enjoyed it so much I booked another Christmas meal there! Would recommend the pub to anyone, a well maintained, clean pub with a very friendly atmosphere!

i would have given it a 5 rating but I have one complaint and that although the food is lovely the plates are always cold I would prefer hot food to be on a hot plate.As stated this is my only criticism and wont stop me returning.

Went to this pub early in December for a meal with friends to celebrate the Christmas season. The food was served promptly, it was attractive, hot and delicious. The staff were very friendly and made us very welcome. We enjoyed roast beef, salmon and the traditional turkey with all the trimmings and then some great desserts, we were a group of very happy well fed people, our empty plates said it all! Will definitely be going to the Mount Pleasant Inn again, we really enjoyed ourselves. Well done to all.

We have been to the pub for early evening meal on a number of occasions. They do a 2 course meal at a special price before 6.30pm, and it is excellent value.The food has always been freshly prepared and very good.Pub is very comfortable and cleanStaff are friendly and helpful.I was amazed to see the review saying it was dirty, out dated, and the food was cold etc. This is the polar opposite of what we have experienced, and of many of the other reviews.

The food was terrible & cold. The place is out dated & didnt look clean. Food on the carpet. The cutlery was dirty had to ask for replacement. Had we not ordered i would have walked out.

Visited this pub today and enjoyed a beautiful 3-course Sunday lunch with my family and 2 year old. Fabulous food and service and we all left feeling completely stuffed! Highly recommend!

Called in on the off chance for an early evening meal The waitress was very pleasant and helpful and went out of her way to make us welcomeThe food was again up to there normal high standard and served hot and freshly cooked we had starters and a main course and were too full to try a desert Well done to the owner Mrs Louise King and to all her staff

Visited en-route to Pembrokeshire to stop for Sunday lunch with the kids. Very friendly pub, intelligent staff and cheap Sunday roasts. Local ale was well kept and delicious, and the food was standard fayre but good for the price. Lots of parking out front, and we were made to feel comfortable by the staff and locals despite taking a three year old and a noisy 10 month old baby.

Came here for a Saturday morning breakfast. Good value for money. Food was so good! Will be returning 100%

Turned up with my partner, mother in law, my partners son and three grand childrenThe staff managed to fit us in and we had a fantastic three course sunday lunch with a selection of six starters five different meats and an array of sweets which were awesome.The veg was plentiful with lots of it and the cheeses leek was something to die for The whole family thoroughly enjoyed themselves especially mother in law who can sometimes be finicky the staff were very helpful and we all enjoyed the experience Thank you to the management for a wonderful lunch

My wife and I visisted the Mount Pleasant with our Daughter on Thursday evening, we were greeted with a warm welcome and a smile. A great selection of Drinks were on offer from very friendly staff.The Menu had lots to choose from and a specials board. I had a Rare steak and my wife had the Hunters chicken and our daughter went for the Home Made lasagne. My steak came with Home made chips, Onion Rings, Mushrooms and peas...(He steak was cooked to perfection!The Hunters chicken came with a choice of Home cooked (Real) chips New Potatoes or Salad. Again it was cooked well, still moist and enjoyed!The Lasange was in its own dish and again a choice of Chips or salad, The Lasagne was amazing and lots of it too. The salad was very well presented with everything a salad should have... There was a good selection of deserts (some home made) like the Baileys Cheesecake. If we had room left after our meals we sure would have tried a few of them.The Chef is new to the pub and is excellent, its not very often you get one that comes to chat with you and check if your enjoying the meal... My Hats off to her... Keep it up! Its no wonder the customers are quing at the door.

good friendly atmosphere, good food reasonable prices. quiz nights. car parking. you can walk there from towncentre

I have been a few times and enjoyed the meals,the staff are friendly and the chef did homemade chips which was lovely.

We are a family of six including three children 5-12. We booked a table and what a lovely experience it all was. We had some difficulty finding the Inn (our fault) but once there was made to feel very welcome. The food was lovely, the service excellent. This is definitely on our list for future meals.

What another good meal the whole family mother in law, wife , daughter grandchildren all had a wonderful meal with a wide selection of typical sunday lunch on the menu. The staff were extremely helpful and efficient and very professional in there deployment and the way they presented the meal. Many thanks to the owner and all her staff for giving us a wonderful Mother's Day lunch. Thank you Louise from all the family

What a good atmosphere with excellent food friendly and efficient staff, the whole family were made to feel welcome with a wide selection of dishes on offer including vegetarian good selection of real ales and wines. It was nice to take the family out and have a thoroughly good night out thank you to the owner Louise and all her staff.

We were in a large party for a family lunch on a Sunday. We had a great reception from the bar and it was really easy going and chatty. As a party of 11 getting food together is not often achieved but we all ordered together and the food came out together, very impressive, and it tasted great. Not one complaint, only comments of appreciation. Now that's good going.

A friend said about the food here and we dropped in for a weekday evening and were pleasantly surprised at the quality and quantity of the food, we certainly left full.

We went to the restaurant for sunday lunch. It was excellent value for money and would highly recommend it. The service was fantastic and the food was tasty.

This pub was taken over by new owners in December 2014. Having never visited the pub before in all the 30 years I have lived in Cwmbran I was more than pleasantly surprised. They do an early bird from 5.30 to 7.00 Tues to Sat plus good main menu and then Sunday lunch. Have eaten here three times now. Excellent chef. All food fresh cooked to order. Great Sunday lunch. Hot baguettes with steak and onions a favourite. Mother in law loved the home made chicken curry. Husband loved his steak. Eton mess to die for. Will definitely be back. They also have quiz night on a Thursday and live music on occasional other days. Small pub but very friendly and good service.

Both visits were really enjoyable. Great food, staff really helpful and polite. The ham for the Saturday lunch was cooked by the chef, delicious. I intend to visit again soon.

Nice meal out with the family staff seemed nice and friendly food was a good price , cheaper on chalk board menu but nice to see something different

Had a lovely meal. Lasagne was homemade and very tasty and the fudge cake was delicious and for only £6.95 total bargain. The staff were lovely and friendly too
