Rock & Fountain Inn in Neath Port Talbot

We visited but was closed, had a sale sign up so don't think its open anymore. Looked like a lovely place to go. Was gutted

This restaurant is well worth a try. A very good menu with lots of choices to suit you. The food was well presented and very tasty, and the staff were very friendly and professional. We will definitely be coming back.

Great food and friendly service

Simply awful. Missing starters, broken plates, and poor food.

Great food and portion size. Service was friendly and helpful. Real great prices.

Absolutely dreadful. No wonder it is up for sale. Ordered 5 starters, they arrived a bit slow after 45 mins, they only brought us 4, told the waitress, then 10 mins later, the other starter arrived, however, rather than it be the chicken Goujons with chilli sauce and salad like the others, all that came was 2 greasy goujons in a bowl, no sauce and salad like the others, when we questioned it, we were told...oh, we are running low. One of the bowls to serve the sauce in the starter was all broken and chipped, you would normally throw this out at home, let alone use it in a restaurant. Meals finally came and what a let down, bisto gravy granules with the pie, the fish was tiny and looked more like fish goujons and the Spaghetti Bolognese was just bland. The picture I am adding is the biggest of the three fish ordered. Over £60 for that rubbish, disappointing.

Very poor my food was awful the chops was soo thin they was hard to eat so I left them I asked for the steak med to well it was cooked so long it was hard the egg was still snobby on top not edible wasn't offered starters or desert won't be returning and there was a party of 6 of us

My wife and I came this afternoon for food, and I have to say we were pleasantly surprised, the restaurant was quiet just us and 3 others. The food was really good the steak was so tender and the homemade chips & lasagne were beautiful. The log fire was a bonus as its so cold out, really surprised how quiet it was the place is a hidden gem

Stunning food and friendly staff

Nice fòod shame the place is up for sale

38 mins for the food to arrive. Food was hard or cold. Entire place was colder inside than out and the waiter was red faced with spots all over his face (possibly chicken pox), wearing Gregg merchandise hoodie.

Lovely best chips I have teasted highly recommended

Great pub and fantastic meal with friendly staff well worth a visit.

The food was ok.. ish. Not poor quality, just not everything was as I would have liked it. The staff were amazing and did everything to make us comfortable. Watch out for the mixed grill...it's huge..be hungry, very hungry. I will go back.

had a great meal there , everyone ones meals was cooked and prepared to perfection

If anybody likes the rock and fountain in Aberdulais, before today I did too! My lamb shank arrived 10 minutes after my family's. That was a bit whatever. Sliced into it and it was a still frozen! I waited around 10 minutes by the bar for the waiter. Finally found him, Told him Okay he will take it back and It'll be sorted. Comes back and says I can't have mash cause there's none left and they're making a new one. My family had almost finished at this point. I said OK chips. But I'll have a cheese and brocoli bake since its quicker to cook. OK no problem. 20 minutes goes by, no food. I ask him to put it to go, cause what's the point at this point my family finished ages ago. OK no worries. 10 minutes later I get them in Chinese containers. We stood at the bar for 10 minutes waiting for the bar staff to take our money. I ask if I can have atleast 50% off since I couldn't even eat with my family. The chef says sorry only a pound off. I left the food there and didn't pay. What absolute awful service and food. Thought it was fantastic before. Not anymore 👋🤣

Cracking pub serving lovely home cooked food. Service was 10/10 already booked again and will highly recommend.

Delicious Scrumptious Amazing Wonderful Out of this worlds Second to none The best about The best for miles Don't eat there done eat anywhere Go there now and go for the food, plain and simple atmosphere, dreamy delicious nourishing home cooking Don't listen to me listen to my belly I'm fat lol Shaun is the best cook in Wales period Anyone who believes anything other than this to be true is just dull Any review less than 5 star is just ludicrous

Food was lovely, serves was a little slow but there was only 1 waitress in a busy restaurant and she was great (rhi). My booking hadnt been noted wasnt impressed with that

Great atmosphere very friendly staff and always served a lovely meal

Disappointing, food not as good as it used to be. Don't think we will be going back.

Not bad food but portions was very small , most of the menu wast available .. staff was friendly and the pub has a good park attached for the kids ..

We came here for a family birthday celebration and our experience was nice enough. They allowed banners and balloons to be placed on and around the table and we were seated in a pleasant dining room. I didn't catch the name of our waitress but she was new and her service was outstanding; polite, attentive, friendly, efficient and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. She was brilliant! Some of our criticisms were that a lot of the main menu items were unavailable and the food was average. Unfortunately our Sundaes were preordered in plastic pots which are then slipped into the pub's own Sundae glasses. The toilets lacked proper and hygienic baby changing facilities. Plenty of parking across the road and a children's play area which is generous, along with outdoor seating for warmer days. All in all an okay pub meal experience.

Booked for 1-30 stuck in traffic around hirwain phoned them no problem arrived 30 minutes late ordered our meals the staff were amazing with our two year old granddaughter even got crayons and colouring books for her never seen that before food was great we have been a few times and that’s why we keep going back can’t fault them at all

Unwelcoming staff & just about edible food🫤 have visited numerous times over the years and it's always been a decent country pub with a welcome, it's a real shame

Best place for kids! Shame it was cash only, didn't have food but from the menu and what other had it looked lovely. Play area is amazing and suitable for all ages. I had a 1 year old and 8 year old and both had lots to do and enjoy! Would definitely recommend to families or for couples. Very welcoming place!

Helpful staff and a lovely meal. Range of good old pub grub. What's more to want.

My food was delicious I love going here in my opinion this is the best restaurant ever. The staff are so helpful and the food was amazing 🤩🤩

The staff were unfriendly thr food was tastless and the manager couldn't be bothered to hear my complaint would not recommend

Calling in for lunch and a drink on the way to Swansea for the first time. Parked in the car park and was impressed by the look of the place but unfortunately the same can't be said about the food. The tomato & basil soup was watery and tasteless and the hotpot was not much more than a bowl of gravy topped with anaemic looking potato slices. Maybe we visited on an off day but we won't be visiting again to find out.

Phoned to see if there was room for 2. yes when we got there only a few in there ordered drinks then to be told over an hour wait for food if was told that on the phone would have gone somewhere else

Lovely food and staff. Though there was only one member of staff serving food and at the bar which caused a bit of a wait, but the food was lovely and reasonably priced

Always fantastic food, great portions, good prices. Large carpark. Double Dragon on pump. Plenty of other choices. Good atmosphere, great character pub.

Lovely staff, and lovely meal. Spring roll starter is a must try!!

Excellent food compliants to the chef and all the staff reormend to anyone.

Excellent food! Well worth the drive from merthyr!

Had Lunch here with mother, lovely food and service . Was a bit tricky crossing a busy fast road to get to and from Carpark tho, but that can't be helped 😊

Have had many a nice meal here in the past. However the last 2 visits have not been up to standard. The most recent within the last few days, we were greeted by quite miserable staff that were quite obviously having digs at each other (bearing in mind that the restraunt was pretty full), the floor was sticky and when finally seated the menus and beer matts were more or less chucked on the table. Also the table next to us was emptied and not cleaned between customers. Enough was enough and we got up and left and called to a different restaurant just 5 minutes up the road ( The White Horse Inn) where the whole experience was completely different. Maybe the staff would benefit from going to said restaurant to see how its really done.

Might have visited on a bad day but not overly impressed. Overheard "raised voices" between staff. Soup came out cold. A but chaotic judging by other customers queries as well as ours. A little goldmine. Beer garden, beautiful surroundings, also free parking in a large car park. We might have caught thrm on a bad day but won't be rushing back to spend our hard earned cash

To get to the children play area you have to cross a some times busy road with racing cars and motorcycles, play area on tree bark, sitting area on benches with a gravel surface and next to the very busy dual carriageway.

A lovely place. Great food and great service.

Always a great welcome. Food is always freshly cooked and lovely.

The food was very good that we had on Sunday, but it wasn't the normal Sunday dinner as what we all ways have, it was a normal menu with different types of dishes. You could have still enjoyed the food mind. THINK you should find out before you book a table if it is a traditional Sunday lunch, or if they have a different menu on for the day.

Lovely food staff were very friendly very cosy (log fire) Reasonably priced

Very busy but great food & bar staff were pleasant even though they were rushed off their feet.

Great great food with lovely staff best mixed grill I've had anywhere

Mon 28th Feb. Had a delicious hot meal here in the afternoon. Staff are great.

Very cosy and inviting pub . Staff very welcoming . Make you feel welcome . Food very good price and really nice . With home made hand cut chips. Highly recommended. Spacious carpark across the road . With a well equipped park for young children . Seating for parents and picnic tables . So if out and about go on old canal road to Aberdulais and pop in . For a bite to eat. Or even a cuppa staff very friendly.

The food was lovely home made very tasty.Friendly staff ..olde worldly real fire very cosy.

Absolutely love it here. Never had a bad meal, amazing food and reasonably priced. Friendly and welcoming staff, such a beautiful place. Will always be our first choice for a meal out.

Meals lovely staff lovely place itself looks a bit dated but lovely food

Just been there for food 2 things on the menu not available I could understand of it was busy but we were the only ones there the bar staff need to learn to put something decent on to wear you could see there bums not very appropriate when you are wanting food the larger was flat and the same for the coke would never go there again and dirty glasses when they first come.out

Very welcoming professional staff I recommend anyone to visit great experience

Great homemade food and staff lovely

Quiet but v.pleasant atmosphere. Good beers, food well priced and good value.

Fantastic food. Great service. Will definitely go again.

Popped in for a pint at first then came back a couple of days later for lunch, really nice pub grub and very clean everywhere. I liked it.

Had a lovely meal here last week, at the Rock and Fountain Glynneath. Very nice ambience, not overly crowded, good service, great food AAA***

Lovely service, excellent food, great 80s playlist. Simple but spot on! Highly recommend the mixed grill .

Excellent service, friendly and smiling staff. Food was more than I thought id have there, I had a salad instead of chips, and it was really good!

Popped in for a meal ,had a wonderful welcome very friendly staff , had prawn cocktail and scampi to eat cooked beautiful and real chips , would recommend a meal and a pint here anytime thanks

Lovely service food was nice too x

Lovely family friendly pub the staff were very welcoming and chatty the man behind the bar seemed new but he was lovely. The food portions were big and more than worth the charge it was lovely would definitely recommend visiting this hidden gem. There was also a very big play area opposite if you have little ones

Pub serving traditional food, particularly nice chips! Pleasant staff and clean surroundings.

Wonderful food. I had the.lamb shank, cooked to perfection.

If you don’t like working behind the bar on Saturday afternoon get another job ! Grumpy attitude.

Food was excellent and the staff were excellent, highly recommended

Great outdoor fun for children 😀

This used to be the place we would always go to have our weekly dinner out and haven't been since lockdown. We were excited to go as its been such a long time and you could now eat outside which on such a lovely evening was Ideal. The place looked the same but we didn't recognise anyone there and then found out it was under new management. This didn't matter as long as the food was still great. Unfortunately this was not the case. Our starter of prawn salad came with warm tomatoes and white limp bread with the crusts cut off. Then our mains arrived and my husband got the wrong burger and my lasagne was so over cooked on top I couldn't believe it had be sent out to our table. The girl did say she would return them but we had made arrangements for after our meal so I just removed to top portion and my husbands burger even though not what he'd ordered was still good. Will try there again but they do need to keep an eye on the details and take a little more pride in what they are trying to deliver

Nice place and excellent food and service with a smile.

Good quality food and really massive portions! Staff were really friendly, helpful and attentive.

Great little boozer and top class Guiness

Good service,good food and price

Typical pub grub but very tasty. Slightly lacking on Covid protocols ie no hand wash in the ladies loo and customers not being reminded about masks but generally very clean. Lovely friendly staff

Good food, mixed grill a must, great portions on value for money, and of course home made chips, take my money x

The only member of staff with any idea of how to deal with customers was the restaurant manager who was courteous and helpful .Would not go again xx

Great place awesome food and staff

Had a meal there bank holiday Monday.Appalling! My lamb steak was still bleating,they ran out of peas,I didn't get onion rings as advertised.My friend wanted gammon but they had ran out and anotger member of our party had a steak served so rare it still had a pulse.To top it all they had ran out of Stella at 6 pm and the waitresses got confused by the table numbering though they were already numbered.They may strive for excellence but sadly in this case not far enough.A few of our group Haas refunds

Lovely setting, friendly staff and great garden for kids to play, loved it.

Very nice place jwith friendly staff

Table booked for 6pm, we were seated almost immediately, the service was good my mixed grill was perfect with the steak cooked exactly as I asked it to be which when dining out is a rarity. 5 stars from me.

Excellent food, friendly staff and nothing too much trouble. Can't wait till we go again

Popped in on the off-chance today for lunch beautiful food pleasant staff well worth a visit

Run out of nearly everything on the menu even beer! Chef had the worst attitude. Will not be returning.

Good food great staff good value

Excellent service shame the food wasn't!

Sea bass, wasn't up to standard peas came to the table cold. (Replacement was offered) The Chicken tikka, was a little dry. However the Minted Lamb, and 8oz. Steak was of very good standard. We also had a selection of desserts which were okay. During the current climate you need to be above your game this will gain more customers. I can't see me going back soon sorry. Keep safe guys.

Food was stunning service top notch, went home stuffed an well happy, can't wait till next time

Lovely food excellent service. Made to feel at home well impressed. Me and the wife had a mix grill and my children had burger all cooked spot on 👍

Great selection of food and friendly staff. Highly recommend the beef curry.

Great food and really friendly staff

Food was amazing staff were excellent had a great meal out could not fault the evening at all .well done to all the staff

Lovely staff and lovely black beef curry

Excellent food at a reasonable price.

Great food , nice staff who are friendly and helpful, great portions and desserts to save room for..well worth a visit after a visit to the waterfalls..keep the standard up.

Terrible, the staffs attitude was bad , food flys with the starters and 2 terrible fillet steak that was cooked well done not medium rare. When they took it back another one came they butterfly cooked it!! Shocking! The chef came out and was utter rude and vile.And to top it off after of that they ran out of vodka 🤦‍♀️. Shambles of a place AVOID !!!

phoned rock and fountain to book meal wen arrived for our meal we were told that no booking had been made for us not very happy as this is not the 1st time that this has happened but went else were were we had a lovely meal and better customer service

Waited over an hour for our food. Told 45 mins after ordering that they’d ‘run out of salad’. ‘Locals’ who’d ordered after us got their meal first. After paying the bill by card were told ‘the eat out to help out’ discount only applied if we had paid cash. There were NO notices displayed to confirm that. Won’t be eating there again.

Nice to be out for a pint at longlast lovely little pub

Just had food and a pint for 1st time really enjoyed
