Food was mediocore. Young waiter was very nice and helpful, he let one of us try ciders to ensure we would like it. He was very polite and friendly. Although we didnt appreciate the shouting and rudeness from the chef towards the young waiter who did nothing wrong! We heard all the shouting and all the pots and pans being thrown around the kitchen by the chef! sadly wont be returning to our local pub because of the rudeness from the chef towards the lovely waiter

Great evening at the Ponthir House Inn tonight. There were 4 of us eating and both the service and the food were excellent. Great to have the Manager talk us through the starters and specials before ordering, so we chose well. 1 had the homemade soup, which was so tasty. 2 of us hand the hand battered cod, 1 had lamb and 1 had chicken off the specials option. All meals were excellent. Plates were warm, food was hot and the quality was superb. Compliments to the Chef on the brilliant food and a thank you to the Manager for the excellent service. We all said we’d be back, so a big thank you all round!

The pub has recently had new managers. The food is now all homemade and absolutely fabulous. We've had Sunday roast and an evening meal and all were very well cooked snd delicious. All the staff are very friendly and happy. There's a lovely atmosphere whenever you go there and everyone is made to feel very welcome

We used to come here a lot for special family meals as we loved the food and service, but the pub has sadly gone downhill and for that reason we won’t be returning. Came here for a Sunday lunch with family. A couple of the main meals arrived earlier than the others, so much so that they had nearly been finished before the rest arrived. Disappointing as we came to eat as a family. Sides of veg were badly presented. Hardly any of the desserts on the menu were available, so we ordered desserts that were offered to us and waitress then came back to tell us that one was not available, so I went without a dessert. When desserts were brought over, one was missing so we had to ask for it again. Cheesecake was served so messily looking like someone had taken a bite out of it. Given the bill at the end and we were over charged by £9. Staff were very apologetic and told us that the pub has recently changed hands, but we still left really disappointed with our meal. Paid far too much for the meal and service we received. Overall a bit of a disaster of a meal. Sadly won’t be coming back unless it goes back to how it was!

Having not visited since Barry left we decided to give it a go ,Waited by bar to be served but guy behind the bar totally uninterested and carried on cleaning glasses, The pub is currently up for let so can only assume the person running it is a temporary which may explain his disinterest in serving. Won't be going back until the pub is under proper management.

Have been here before but disappointed this time. Came for Sunday lunch for hubby's birthday with family. Service at bar very slow only one serving. Sunday lunch when served consisted of everything piled in middle of plate we only had 1 dish of veg and 1 gravy between 5 of us (I did ask for more gravy) and no boiled potatoes. My roast potatoes when I found them were hard. Worse still was our sweet 2 of us ordered waffles and ice cream and the waffles had not been warmed or cooked and were rock solid, we did send them back and eventually they came back as they should be but by then we had lost our appetite. The staff are nice but the girls need more training. Meal not up to the standard of when we have been before.

Visited today (02/06/24) for Sunday lunch. Had taken the precaution of booking and we were shown to our table. Food and drink ordered, we didn’t have to wait long for our starter, we both opted for homemade roasted red pepper and tomato soup, which was really tasty (came accompanied with a roll and butter). For the main course my partner opted for the roasted chicken breast and for myself it had to be the roast pork belly. Both meals came with crisp and fluffy roasted potatoes, homemade stuffing and Yorkshire pudding, roasted carrot and parsnip, green beans, peas and carrots, and , a good sized jug of piping hot gravy. We could not fault our meals It was great to have our meals served on hot plates. Service was great and (having worked in this industry for over 20 years myself) it was a pleasure to see all of the staff happy and smiling. Can definitely recommend here, the new management team and chef are doing a fabulous job. Will definitely be back, infact, have already booked in for Father’s Day.

May 2024 This is a nice old fashioned proper pub, nice for a pint or wholesome bite to eat. New Owners as of first week in May. As we say farewell to Owner Barry, we welcome incomer Phil. Pub was in a state of flux, partial redecoration in progress, hard copy new menu’s awaited, but landlord Phil couldn’t do enough for us. My wife and I ordered a pub curry from the temp menu on barman’s phone. Service and food was good. Chicken curry was very flavoursome, sauce was a little of thin side but nice and plentiful. We will visit again. Looking forward to seeing the make over complete. This was once, many owners ago, one of THEE foody pubs in the area, but it kept slipping. Last landlord Barry turned it around a bit. Let’s hope it re-establishes itself under Phil. We wish Phil and his team well. Good luck to all.

6 of us went there Saturday. An old chap was on his own serving, he served us and it took about 15 minutes to get 6 drinks and he could barely keep the pints level as he walked. Customers were building up and sighing and rolling eyes, they have waited for ages at this point, then we leave he serves someone new that had only just walked in. Unfortunately that's not the end of it, 4 out of 6 drinks were terrible. 2 had grit in the glasses and 2 were flat. I would normally ask for money back but felt bad for the man and it would probably take 30 mins to get a refund. We went to that star instead (never thought I'd say that) and it was booming outside, I think everyone else had the same experience. Clean glasses properly and sort out staff otherwise this place won't be open for long.

Been here a couple times. Pint glasses often (in my experience) have bits inside them, like dried crusty food. Unfortunately staff got indignant when asked to replace drinks because of the dirty glasses. Once the barmaid even tried to just pour the dirty contents into a new glass. Clean your dishwasher machine now and again, buy a new one, or check the glasses manually before serving. These are the basic requirements for running a pub. Food was also incredibly bland, Sunday lunch in particular was a big disappointment. It was like something a granny would make, but not a fondly remembered granny, one who you thought when growing up shouldn't cook. I'd recommend the owners visit other places (not the Star) to get a vibe for where the pub grub scene is, because right now, they're stuck in the 80s. A lot of places locally require booking ahead for Sunday lunches, PHI doesn't, I think that says a lot about it. I won't return. Ps. I'm not vegetarian, but my guest was, and the veggie stuff wasn't good either.

Long covid: Struggling three years with no taste or smell, I find it difficult to rate the restaurants I visit. However, sometimes there's a reprieve, and the gammon I had wasn't too bad. The only reason for the 4 star rating was the small pineapple ring placed on top of said meat. It just wasn't enough.

So we left Kent early this morning 18/9/22 and travelled up to ponthir for a day with my son and daughter, their respective partners and our grandchildren. My so, who lives literally opposite had booked a table for Sunday dinner, a table of 9 no less! For a small pub I expected delays and a little confusion because of the size of our group and the fact that they seemed busy but this was not the case. The girl that took our order got it absolutely right, she was professional and cheerful. Our drinks arrived in good time and our starters shortly after... no complaints from anyone and 7 empty plates (the children didn't have a starter) After a short wait, maybe 15-20 minutes our main course arrived piping hot, a good selection of FRESH vegetables and enough gravy to bathe in. The young waitress even remembered who ordered what and all 9 plates arrived at the same time. All in all I can't complain about anything and will definitely go back whether to eat or have a drink next time we're up and yes, I would definitely recommend the ponthir House! Just a quick note to the landlord, unlike a previous review, I saw no evidence of a cattery! Though in fairness the reviewers understanding of the written language was somewhat lacking, I had to decipher it line by line which wasn't easy Congratulations and a big thank you to all the staff

We looked this up online and decided to try it. It was lovely. The rugby was on and they weren't doing food as it was going to be busy.. but it was fairly quiet when we got there and the landlord said he will happily make us something before it gets busy. Which was so sweet of him. The food was lovely and the staff were great. Lovely dog who resides there was very friendly too,as were the locals. Theres also a local shop onsite selling local fresh produce which was an added bonus! Definitely go back again.

Arrived and told they run out of Carling larger,strongbow and 2 other beers due to covid restrictions, RUBBISH. I had steak which was OK a little over cooked fir me. My partner had a chicken, ham and leek pie. It was clear it was frozen before cooking and no bigger than a lid off a coffee jar. Not very nice. Chips were thin. Other food orders in the group did not look good and expensive. The general running of the pub was disorganised as best, not enough staff. Not value for money. I say this with a heavy Hart as I like the pub and last time was very good. I will say the price of drinks was fair but limited choice to poor management in not keeping the cellar full. Using covid restrictions as an excuse in not good enough as other pubs had plenty of stock. I will go again and give it another go.

Called in with a friend for evening meal, I had the fish and chips, my friend the broccoli bake. The portions were small and the fish was a frozen battered fillet not fresh with homemade batter as I would expect from a restaurant/ pub meal. Very disappointed at paying over £12 for essentially supermarket freezer quality food. When asked by staff how the food was and saying it was disappointing there was no attempt to rectify this other than the offer to let the chef know the next day. Sadly will not return

It was cold and rainy as we could only sit outside with the cover but they turned on all the heaters to make sure everyone is warm.

Absolutely brilliant birthday meal for a family of 8 adults and 6 kids. Service and food was excellent. Staff were absolutely lovely, polite couldn't do enough. The staff that were amazing were Paul, Anthony and Michelle. I asked for the chefs name as my steak was perfectly cooked, thanks chef Dave. We will be back soon. Keep up the good work.

Excellent roast dinner again. Lovely relaxing atmosphere and the staff are always so attentive. The chef even came to our table to check our order! Our favourite place for Sunday lunch.

Went with my husband and Mother in law. All had 3 courses and all cleared our plates. French onion soup & 2 creamy garlic mushrooms to start. All perfectly cooked and delicious. 2 lamb and 1 mixed meat main, a side of cauliflower cheese and a side of pigs in blankets to share. We should have ordered 2 cauliflower cheese between us cause 1 wasn’t quite enough and it was so tasty that we all wanted more. Meat and veg all seasoned and cooked perfectly and topped off with delicious home made gravy. 2 poached pears & a cheesecake for dessert. Absolutely perfect. All the staff are incredibly friendly and efficient and all work very hard. Sunday Lunch is a great addition to the wonderful things you’re already doing with the place. Looking forward to more in the future.
