Rising Sun in Torfaen

Need to revisit. Wasn't there long enough. Next time 😃

An absolutely great afternoon and evening had here.

Really great. Good Ales , lovely people.

Good beer, no longer serves food

Great place to visit and have some excellent pub food. Lovely staff, very friendly. Great atmosphere and location, the views are stunning. Highly recommend.

I have no experience of this pub but my Brother goes weekly to have a pint and enjoy an evening of live music. I have no experience of the dining but He say's it's good.

Food was delicious and service was fast

The nicest pub,that has lots of hidden gems,very friendly staff and a lovely landlord,the food is absolutely amazing and have gone back a few times and with a variety of drinks available,it's a perfect place

Sunday lunch was ok. Incredibly small pudding turned out to be just the right size.

Lovely cosy enjoyed the evening

Food was good, however no choice in roast option due to the fact they'd sold out most of the chicken and beef before we arrived. We had to ask for spoons for serving the veggies, the drinks arrived after the food. The worst part was when we were asked if we were interested in ordering desserts and, after we all placed an order, the waitress came back apologising saying that most of our dessert choices had gone sold out. I'd highly suggest taking pre-orders especially on a busy day such a Sunday and for a table which has been pre-booked. Disappointing.

Wonderful Sunday lunch very reasonably priced..Cheesecake was the best! Great service. Lovely garden for kids to play.

Great place, staff really pleasant, music very good, very enjoyable.

Lovely family run pub, good food, good drinks and friendly locals. When the weather is good the beer garden is fantastic for the family! Had one of the best Sunday roasts this weekend! Photos attached, you need to book in advance!

What a beautiful meal thank you so much, I am gutted not to have used your services before and living so close, fantastic food people reasonable prices food and drinks I know where I go now thank you

Great beer garden...kids loved it

A wonderful afternoon with barbecue food and live music

We recently moved to the area and was recommended to try this place by a local - it didn't disappoint! Wow! It absolutely has the wow factor! The beer garden was stunning - never seen one like it. Inside it carried on, the thought for design is clear. We did eat here and have to say it was delicious. We had the soup of the day to start then the curry and lasagne. Both my husband and I were very impressed. We'll be back! The service was above and beyond. Extremely friendly and polite, just what you'd expect from such a wonderful place. Thanks for a wonderful evening and making our date night even better.

Lovely surroundings very friendly server polite and attentive food was lovely I had soup it was very nice mam. Had soup and jam sponge and custard she said it was delicious

Lovely old pub. We sat outside so that my daughter could play on the play toys. She enjoyed herself. We got waited on by a member of staff which was lovely. Just over £50 for 3 adults (with 2 deserts) and a child for Sunday lunch

Great food xxx lovely outside area

Really nice roast, atmosphere and waiting staff were lovely too.

Great local pub. Very welcoming and family friendly. Really good food. L

Beautiful Sunday lunch ,friendly people loved the afternoon there spot on

Great place, great beer and great food

My husband and I went to the rising sun in Abersychan today 39/01/22, we had sweet potato soup with toasted baquette then roast beef, both served piping hot and delicious, we didn't have desert as we was so full, wil definitely be returning

Amazing place and atmosphere. Staff are nearly as awesome as the pints.

Lovely views all round the place has lots of character very friendly staff.

Lovely welcome and the best pub food i have had in a very long time. I would definitely recommend.

First time here today. Lovely traditional and cosy pub. Staff were extremely polite and welcoming. The food was outstanding. Very good portion sizes and quality was spot on. This is how pubs should be when they haven't been taken over by the big pubs chains.

Food was delicious .Friendly cosy place to have a bite to eat or a drink with friends.

We just had Sunday lunch here and it was fantastic, compliments to the chef and the staff. Lamb was so soft and so was the beef. All round excellent. See you all soon for another dinner, when we have a spare Sunday.

Stopped off for Sunday Lunch probably the best Sunday lunch ever

Called in for Sunday lunch, staff were helpful and friendly. Food was decent, nice selection of veg but meat was very chewy.

I’m a fusspot when it comes to my steak, absolutely perfect & cooked to my liking :) over all a superb meal & great staff, have the whole covid situation under control & felt extremely safe & comfortable

We went there for Sunday lunch. Booked for 1.30 and served us at 2.15. Got our food at 2.50. Very badly run. The food was cold. We will NEVER go there again and will NOT recommend....

We have been visiting the Rising Sun for many years as part of an annual rugby day out over to South Wales. Last weekend 19 of us were in attendance for lunch, and as ever the food and service was absolutely first class and could not be faulted.They have an excellent selection of beers, lagers and ciders etc and Gerwyn and his team always cannot do enough for us when we visit.It has a superb restaurant area to the side and a large attractive garden to the side and rear of the property.The menu is extensive and very reasonably priced. This place is well worth a visit if you are in the area. Highly recommended.

Gerwyn and his team were fabulous and could not do enough for us. The food and service was amazing and the room looked beautiful. Would recommend this venue if you're ever planning a function.

Good food, friendly and helpful staff and good value for money. Lots of choice and a reasonable vegetarian menu too.

Went for lunch today and paid £10.95 for 2 fishcakes, 4 small potatoes and a spoonful of salad! Most expensive fishcakes I've ever had. Wont be going there again. All their lunchtime meals were £10.95 for ONE course. High charge for just an ordinary run of the mill pub and an ordinary run of the mill meal! And I wasn't the only one to think so.

Visited due to family Birthday booking a few hours before. Little disappointed in the lack of communication that an event had been going on outside the garden area which is the garden off the annex where food is served.Took hour for food to be served with only three other tables of small parties. Waited for 15 minutes prior to being seated, 25 minutes to be served for drinks during waiting for meal and 20 minutes for the bill at the bar. Pub Meals came out very hot and tasty with large portions so food comes recommended. Waitress seemed new but in-fairness used best endeavours considering circumstances of the evening.Bar staff was more focused on wet trades of the event and not those eating except for young girl in striped dress who was very tentative and helpful at all times. I would recommend a visit but ask if anything is going on firstly as the bars are small and can be crammed. Don’t take this review as a total negative as it’s not just requires more thought if serving food and running events simultaneously. Other than that fully recommended!!

We were a group of 4 and a baby. We rang before arriving and asked if they accepted meerkat. We spoke to a woman and she said that they were and we told her to expect us shortly. We arrived just after 2 p.m. On the phone the lady explained that they were serving meals until 230 pm so that was great. This pub was out of our way and off the beaten track for us and thus when we got there and she asked the male chef if he was accepting meerkat and he said 'No' we were very disheartened and annoyed.The chef was extremely rude and pointed out to us that it wouldn't be worth his whole to cook us meals at half the normal price by the time he factored in gas and electric. We were in disbelief that it was advertised on the meerkat website that they did 2 4 1 meals, we had called up before hand and yet our custon was being turned away. This is in indeed unprofessional and reflects a poor standard of customer service. He was in no way apologetic and was extremely rude to us. I feel the manager should be made aware of how we were treated. As they had given us the wrong information when we rang and as it is being falsely advertised we feel that we should have been accommodated.I strongly advise people not to eat here as the staff are truly incompetent and rude. Furthermore they have only one star for food hygiene.

Overall lovely little pub. Food is just what you need with an ice cold beer! They have a lovely beer garden with the facilities to hold private parties and weddings so if you’re looking for that relaxed party place then this is the place to go! Staff are always so friendly and happy to help! Bank holiday weekend was brilliant with an outside BBQ and bands all night. Very good atmosphere!!

We Stopped off on route and we were not disappointed! Lovely lady behind the bar who served us! Food was exactly what we needed and didn’t take long at all! Fish in home made beer batter was huge! Sweet potato fries Hunters chicken We Definitely would come back!

Went with a party of 12 all had the pensioner menu Two courses £7. This was very good value, I had soup and then the curry which was very nice. All the different meals were very nice. Not a wide choice of desserts only carrot cake or Swiss roll. Most had the ice cream, service was good and the staff friendly,

Our new favourite place! An amazing value for money - also the best fish and chips I've ever had! Love all the special nights such as curry night/burger night. Also a very extensive beer selection which most pubs lack. Sunday dinners are always stunning! Service always on point. See you again soon!

Decided to have Sunday lunch cooked for us today. Called here on spec and were seated in the restaurant overlooking the garden. We love a tradional roast and were not disappointed with a choice of meats, roasted parsnips and potatoes, swede and carrot mash, peas, broccoli and cauliflower cheese. It was accompanied with a fluffy Yorkshire pudding and tasty gravy. Excellent value for money, generous portions and very filling. We did have dessert and I recommend the homemade Baileys cheese cake _ lush.

Have eaten a couple of times at this welcoming pub. Both lunches have been very tasty and plenty of food. Staff are efficient and pleasant. Even though set near a busy road the garden is hidden and very relaxing. I will try the evening menu next time

A friend recommended The Rising Sun for its breakfast and am so glad I followed up on this recommendation. We were , in fact, the first customers of the day ,but, nevertheless were warmly welcomed and our orders taken. There are 3 menus- breakfast, lunch and evening - and all offer extensive choices at reasonable prices with allergies and dietary preferences taken into account.

This is our new favourite place to go. Fantastic value for money, staff you go out of their way for you, and food to die for. We had the fish and chips tonight and what can I say except mmmmmmm. Chips were the best I've tasted and the fish was amazing. The batter was so light. We even had dessert to take home as sounded so good as food was so filling. I will definitely recommend this place. Looking forward to trying something else from the menu

Such a lovely Sunday lunch was had today. Curry parsnip soup to start was amazing. Main course of a mixed meat selection and plenty of fresh vegetables including cauliflower cheese was brilliant. No room for dessert for me unfortunately, my partner had the chocolate fudge cake which did look fantastic. Can’t wait for our next visit.

I visited the rising Sun last week, which is under new management. I was surprised by the snobbery and unwilling to meet vegan dietary need, I was told they couldn't stiplate on core ingredients, and never offerd an alternative.

Went here with my date and we both had the Sunday lunch. My rosemary and parsnip soup was stunning, especially since it was my first time trying it. The roast dinner itself was faultless. The staff were very attentive and it was a very family-friendly atmosphere. I even bought a book. Highly recommended!

This was a good, honest, no frills Sunday Lunch like my Nan would have cooked - and I loved her cooking too! Friendly, helpful service, and very generous portion sizes. This is traditional Welsh pub hospitality at its best.

just got back from above curry night went last month and had a good meal and its was tasty and good portion but tonight slow service 45 minutes between starter and main course food was so bland no taste to beef madras beef hard as hell wife had balti no taste very little chicken chips were awful rice and naan bread dry me my son and my wife did not enjoy at i wouldnt eat there again and as me and my wife eat out in various local pubs this is one to stay clear of if you like good service and tasty food what a let down

Called in to the Rising Sun about 6 pm on a beautiful summers evening. Our party of 5 adults, and 1 young child, were made to feel welcome straight away. We hadn't booked but we arrived before it got busy. We chose the Rising Sun because of the play area for our young grandson, who loved it and played with other children. We ordered our food, not too long to wait. The prices are good, not an extensive list, but what was offered is traditional pub food. The children's menu was priced to include an ice-cream. The food was hot, good portions and very tasty. We all enjoyed our meals. Again not an extensive desert menu but traditional puddings, ice cream and cheesecake. By the time we left the pub it was very busy. I overhead someone commenting how popular the pub is, and it's certainly that. A good traditional pub serving pub food. No pretentious menus at pretentious prices but a welcoming family pub. The pub is clean, well looked after and the toilets are very clean too! We enjoyed our evening

I think this place has changed owner since i last visited. It seems just so average now it's like a avaerage pub with average bland food the dining area is nice it does give you a feel of a quality experience but then the food is just so bland. The staff and young lady behind the bar are nice but this is more of a local pub with bland pub food than a real dining experience

A party of six of use went to the Rising Sun last Sunday 1January for Sunday lunch. There were only four others there so it was certainly not too busy. The starters came, most had soup which I was told was only lukewarm. I chose bruschetta, which came on a piece of cold ciabatta, with cold tomato and onion chopped on the top. I asked the waitress to return it, which she did, reluctantly.She came back with it a moment later saying that the chef said it was supposed to be a cold starter! Ok some recipes have uncooked tomato and onion but usually the bread is grilled.

Called in on the offchance of a vacant table. Was empty except for the front bar. Very nice helpful bar maid. The chilli was very nice and hot but far too big! My husband had the salmon and thoroughly enjoyed it. As in a previous review there were children running around but it was the last day of school and just before halloween so excitement was in order!

After seeing good reviews about the place we thought we would visit last night. When we walked in there seemed to be an unpleasant grubby smell lingering.

To our shame, we live just up the road but haven't eaten here for about 10 years. We know there has been a change of landlord so we thought we'd try it (it was always good). We went for our son's 17th birthday and were delighted with the friendly welcome, the atmosphere (beautifully done out inside) and wonderful food. We had between us chicken curry, sirloin, 5 bean chilli (on special) and Hunter's chicken. All were delicious and the chips and rice were large portions which made huge meals - and all at a very reasonable price (£50 for five of us with drinks). It won't be 10 years next time. Within walking distance so ideal to have a drink as well. We''ll be back very soon!

Visited here last night with friends. Wonderful atmosphere and had a lovely evening served by friendly efficient staff. We'll be back! Long may the specials night continue!

To be honest the meal was very good and the table service excellent. The menu was limited but there was a specials board.The only criticism was the desserts were all stodgy. However what we can only assume to be the children of the owner/staff were running riot while we were trying to order our meal. On our departure the same children were still running around apart from a little one who was asleep on a bench!

We booked the Rising Sun Inn to host an informal birthday buffet with special dietary requirements.

I pass this Pub everyday on the way to work and noticed a sign recently stating that they did breakfasts. My wife and I decided that as we had a day off we would call in and try. We weren't disappointed. The owners were extremely...

Warm welcome, hot food. Great steaks. Fresh and tasty, plentiful. Our first visit but will def return, loved the meal and beer. Attentive service. Happy family.

Myself and a companion, with sore feet and tired legs, stopped here in the early afternoon intending to have a brief refreshing drink. I had previously stopped here for a similar reason on what I understand was the last day of the previous owner, when we were the only customers.What a change! The pub was well patronised with most customers eating. The menu was appealing, especially the £7 two course special for over 60s. Unfortunately our schedule did not allow us to stay and eat but I received several unsolicited testimonials from regular customers to the excellence of the food - rather unusual! Our plan to stay for ten minutes did somewhat extend when we found the soft comfortable sofas in the bar. The decor is interesting and homely. I had a good pint of real ale (Doombar) while my companion was satisfied with his several more complex drinks. Planning for my next visit will certainly include dining. Overall I was very impressed.

We called in here on spec, looking for Sunday lunch. Made us feel welcome. Staff attentive and polite. We enjoyed a lovely cooked roast sunday dinner at a very fair price.

Meals are good value for money. A lovely atmosphere been down a few times now and always have found the same

1st class food and service, absolutely spot on , will definitely be going back The menu was very varied, everything cooked to perfection & all home made

Welcoming, great beer and food.Well worth a stay here you won't be disappointed for sure 5 stars.Thank you.

Called them at 10.30 to see if we needed to reserve. Told no. Turned up at 2.15 and found they had reserved a table for us anyway, just in case.... Very impressed. Sunday lunch was excellent. Mushroom soup was best I've had in a long time and the roast was great. Plenty of meat, lots of vegetables. Very gentle but attentive service.

We visited the Rising Sun for a family of 6 Sunday lunch. The pub and restaurant itself is lovely, with a large beer garden and relaxed atmosphere. The disappointing aspect came with the lunch. There was a choice of 2 meats, pork or beef. We had a vegetarian relative who had to ask if there were any veggie options and the waitress had to ask in the kitchen regarding this. She was given just one option which she was disappointed with. our meals came, the veg portions were tiny, two small cereal type bowls with a spoonful of peas, carrots etc between 6 of us. Some of us went without so others could have veg. We didnt like to ask for more as we werent sure we could. The beef, although not bad, couldve been better. The saving grace was a large dish of cauliflower cheese, which, in my opinion, was lovely and saved the meal. The dessert options were limited, although they were nice. I think if attention was paid to the little things, like portion sizes, vegetarian options etc and more choice on the sunday lunch menu, it would've been a nice meal. I believe in fair constructive criticism so I hope I've been just in my review. Not sure we'd go back for Sunday lunch. I hope this lovely pub take on board what customers say as it would be a shame if the food lets down what could be a good place to go.

I'd been given some advice off a friend of mine to visit The Rising Sun as the food was something else and locally sourced so I decided to visit. We was not to be disappointed. The food was great, the family atmosphere shone, the music on the Saturday evening after the food was brilliant. Excellent day and evening out.

After a visit to the Big Pit I stumbled into this rural place in a village. Very nice lady and honest food. In the summer you can sit outside but it was too cold when I visited. For a friendly lunch or dinner don't drive on.

Definitely recommend this place. Deliciously cooked meat, was so juicy. A good selection of meals to choose from and a good size portion of chips which are extra crispy and chunky, and they are cooked to perfection. Staff are so friendly and take pride in what they do. It's very cosy there too. The chef even came out so I thanked him for the great food we had. Good value, definitely will go there again.

Wonderful food in a very friendly environment.This is a family run pub that has family at the heart of it, very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble :)

Really impressed with the food quality And response from time of order to food arriving. Ordered from the sweet menu and wasn't disappointed, tasted home made, and when I enquired it was confirmed all made on site. Nice array of Drinks including Real Ale which I sampled and was kept well. found the staff a delight and Was told the pub was under new ownership and that lots of up and coming events for the summer being planned. Could see a lovely beer garden with seating and grassed area. We will return, on another note more than happy with the price of the meals. Quality

Went as part of a party of eight, staff very friendly, we all had different meals from the pensioners special which was very good value. Everybody ate everything and only left clean plates. The desserts were also very nice I can recommend the trifle. The extension where we ate was very comfortable and we could have stayed all day.

Went to the rising sun for a meal for my daughters 21st birthday there was Sixteen of us in our party I have to Say the food was excellent and very good value for money the staff was very friendly and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the place to people and I wouldn't defiantly come return again for another meal

We recently had our wedding reception here. All I can say is - it was amazing from start to finish! John, Sue and their lovely granddaughter honestly could not have done more for us. The food was wonderful, staff friendly and accommodating and the whole area looked fantastic.Extras were added to make it that little more special (card post box, welcome banner, notes for guests to write on) and most importantly it was the most amazing, relaxed day for us. We could not have asked for anything better.If you are considering using the Rising Sun as a venue for a get together I would highly recommend!!!!! Thank you so very much!!

Just had a fantastic Sunday lunch in The Rising Sun. Lovely home cooked food. No frozen or bought-in rubbish. The home-made desserts are to die for too! Service cannot be faulted and neither can the price. No wonder this restaurant is so busy!

We visited as a large party. We had a lovely welcome from the waitress. Food was good - although my only issue was with regard to the broccoli and stilton pasta bake; it had no hint of stilton in it - which made a blasé, albeit tasty, vegetarian cheesy pasta bake. My husband enjoyed his sirloin steak, which was cooked exactly as he liked (medium). I had apple pie and fresh cream for dessert, it was nice (it wasn't the most amazing apple pie I have tasted - but by far not the worse). Service was good, waitresses were polite and accommodating - even when put under some unnecessary pressure by a member of the group.

we have had dinner here twice once with my husband and with friends we had the gammon which was massive and beautifully cooked with lovely chips and salad our friends had the plaice which they say was perfect we can highly recommended this restaurant / pub and will definitely return in the near future

My family decided to have a meal with relatives last minute to save cooking. I was busy so didn't get there until almost 9pm but the board outside said food served until 9.30 The others had just ordered when I arrived but the lady behind the bar was quite negative saying it too late but the young man dealing with the food orders said that it's no problem to add an extra mealThe food was excellent and his attention to our needs was first class. Just a shame the lady wasn't easier going, I have since been told she often is like that Which is a real shame as the food, drinks and the inside is lovely.

Fantastic value for money, the chef and waiting staff could not have been friendlier. Highly recommend for a bargain but very tasty Sunday roast!

Not much to say about this pub apart from - lovely home cooked food, great beers! And friendly staff. It's a lovely little pub and my only criticism is the seating is uncomfortable and that's a shame because otherwise we would have stayed longer.

My meal was fine but my wife had issues with her meal as she found the poultry to be rather tough.The menu asked people to be patient as the meals were home cooked but i though that 80 minutes was excessive.

Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. This pub serves good quality food at reasonable prices and we will visit there again.

I would recommend this pub, I would pre book a table as it can get busy, its a real old traditional pub unlike many carverys where you feel hurried, it offers a relaxed atmosphere and the service together with food its very good, the area has many attractions so you could make a great day out. I have now sat several meals with no complaints.

I visited the Rising Sun with my family (6 of us including 2 children of 4 and 2) on Saturday 20th Dec, 2014. We had pre-ordered our selections from the Christmas menu. The table was well laid out with crackers, etc., but what I want to comment on is the quality of the food and service.My wife, Margaret, had salmon and it was cooked to perfection. Moist with an excellent sauce. I had requested a blue sirloin steak against my better judgement, because most blue steaks end up medium rare in restaurants and the 'rares' end up medium. This was a genuine blue steak - seared on the outside but raw all the way through. Perfectissimo! I love bloody meat! Just wipe its bum and slap it on the plate! The rest of the family had turkey which was - well, turkey. They loved it along with an enormous helping of vegetables. I could find nothing to complain about. The young woman serving was perfect with the kids. I asked for a cheese board which was not included on the standard menu, but this was provided without hesitation at no extra cost.Well done Rising Sun! I will certainly return. The food is great and the prices and service also great.

There was a time when the old steam engines that ran from Blaenavon [ now a World Heritage site because of its industrial past] down to Newport and its docks brushed past this old inn. Now it's a fully fledged restaurant with views across the Afon Llwydd to the Lasgarn Wood. Meals are served in the Gwyneth Room- named after the previou owner- or in the pleasant enlarged garden{ DR B}. Lunches, served between noon and 3pm range from the cheap and cheerful- averaging £6.50- £7.00 to the full menu with starters at under a fiver and to their mixed grill of steak, gammon, pork chop, sausage, chicken, mushrooms, grilled tomato, onion rings and an egg served at lunchtimes or between 6:30 and 9:30 for £14.95. In between there's vegetarian and fish dishes,a chicken curry, minted lamb shank, lasagne, gammon, pork loin and a choice of steaks. Wines- white and red- New World, French,German and Spanish for the princely sum of £10.25.......and so friendly...( and if you're over 60--2 course lunchtime meal for £6.00!!!!- Tuesday to Friday)

I visited this establishment during the rugby session. The board outside stated that evening meals are served after 6pm, with this in mind i stayed to watch the rugby before having a meal. At 6 i asked if they were serving food and was told no, Not on rugby day!!! I could not believe what i heard and the customer service wasnt up to standard either. The man was basically rude.

Went here today for lunch. We ordered Chicken CURRY rice and chips. However when our meal arrived, it was no way CURRY, it was sweet and sour chicken. We asked the waitress if this was sweet and sour and she replied no it's a "fruity curry". We asked for some chutney... " that will be extra cost"?? Said the waitress so we said ok that's fine. The so called CURRY was literally some cooked chicken tipped into a jar of sweet n sour. Both left our meals, as it was disgusting!!! Won't be going back would not recommend.

Haven't eaten here recently but in the past the food has always been very good. Pleasant atmosphere with a garden room leading out to a children's play area.

The steak was lovely and the staff were friendly and welcoming.The food did not take long to come. I would reccomend this restraunt to anyone looking for a good meal!

We have had several good family celebrations here in the past. My partner contacted them two months in advance for my birthday celebration and they said they'd get back to him shortly regarding menu. They didn't. They emailed him three menus for roast dinners, one beef, one lamb and one turkey. I was concerned at the prices (£16.50-18.50) as their three course Sunday roast is around £10 per head. Nevertheless, he went round our party of 22 asking for their choices. With the party less than 2 weeks away he called in to give our menu choices and was told there was no way they would cook more than one meat. He suggested they could get smaller joints but they said no, we would have to go with the majority choice. And they also said that although they had offered three flavours of cheesecake it was likely they would only provide one flavour. The whole family agreed this was not at all customer friendly and so we have taken our business elsewhere and will not be returning to the Rising Sun in the future.

lovely waitresses, bright sunny conservatory and great value food.Home made puddings were a bonus too!

We visited with a large group (27) for Sunday Lunch and enjoyed an excellent meal. The conservatory at the rear of the building is a lovely place to eat as it has lots of natural light and overlooks the large gardens. We were given a warm welcome by the waiting staff and quickly seated. The service was very good considering the numbers and the different number of courses chosen by our group members. The food was very nicely cooked and there was plenty of it. The potatoes and veg comes in separate serving dishes, with more than enough to go around. The staff are mainly local youngsters and have clearly been well trained, as they were polite, efficient and attentive. We had combined the lunch with a visit to Big Pit Mining Museum, which is about 15mins away by car in Blaenavon. All in all, we thought the pub / restaurant was a really good choice for Sunday Lunch and certainly would return if we are visiting the area.

The Sunday lunches are excellent and good value. We've also had numerous family birthday celebrations here and the service is good.
