Landlady was very rude, she clearly don't like people enjoying themselves, you go to the pub to have fun and socially with family and friends, this was a problem for the Landlady. Never again will I go to this pub , thank god for the pub down the road, where the Atmosphere was a lot better .

Went down to celebrate a 21st birthday. No music was playing. At 9:30. The landlady approached a few of us and asked us to keep the noise down. We were all having a good time and laughing. We all decided to leave and move on to a different pub. Will not be returning Very rude landlady. Not the first time people have left because of bad attitude off the landlady

A visit to this pub left me with a parking fine of over £100.I was not made aware on this rainy dark evening of the need to register my parking.A very expensive beer with no support of any use from the landlady to prevent the legal mugging.Beware !

Ignore the old reviews of this pub as it has changed management. My mother and her partner have just had a great meal, plenty of it and reasonably priced as well as some great music from a singer/guitarist. Well recommended.

Went here for afternoon tea for my wife and mixed grills for myself and my son. The food was SUPERB! Grills were perfectly cooked and the tea was rated as brilliant by my wife.

I had afternoon tea here with a large group, we sat in the conservatory which was pleasant. We were served tea and coffee when we sat down, with the option of a glass of prosecco or soft drink also. Food was then brought out and there was plenty of it. Lovely fresh selection of sandwiches, including ham, cheese, egg etc and a big choice of cakes, including carrot cake, battenburg, fruit tartlets, welshcakes, muffins, scones and chocolate mousses, to name a few. Staff were fab, nothing was too much trouble and we were very well looked after. We all enjoyed our afternoon here and I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Went here today and have to say the food was lovely, only had a jacket potato with Tuna but it was really big and quite filling. Lovely side salad with delicious coleslaw. The only reason I am not giving it 5 is the overly nice waitresses we had. Strange I am having a moan about politeness but being too polite can be a little irritating especially when they come to your table every 10 mins asking if all ok and trying to sell on deserts etc. I think they asked 6 times if all ok and anything else they can get for us. For some reason it was always 2 at a time like they were joined at the hip! The constant interruptions were a tad irritating.

Called in for a family meal. I ordered sirloin steak. Although cooked to my liking was quite chewy. My son ordered cajun chicken. Was very dry. The garlic bread had no essence of garlic. Just tasted of melted butter. Just couldn't eat it. Mushrooms were just chopped a d chucked in fryer. Tasted greasy. Just to say the waitress was apologetic but no manager came to speak to us. It was very quiet in restaurant. Was just us and 2 other tables.

Went on a Saturday afternoon for lunch, took an hour and half for food to come out of the kitchen... luckily the burgers were really tasty and fresh, chips a little greasy. Good value for money though. One waitress was very apologetic. No coffee was being served unless you made it yourself, not too sure what was going on there.. shame as it’s a fab location on the high st and space. Maybe they were short staffed today and not prepared for a busy day as it was the Christmas fayre. Pub was clean, accessible and has a good sized car park to the rear.

No ha sido en este pub durante un rato. La última vez fue caro pero buen servicio y muchos clientes. Esta noche llamado mientras espera mi curry de la china. Tuve una buena pinta de Guinness, pero cuando el camarero fue a poner hielo en zumo de naranja de mi esposa ella estornudó en la cubitera de hielo sin poner su mano sobre su boca, debería haber enviado, y salimos. Ahora entiendo por qué sólo había 4 personas lo cual es malo para un viernes por la noche. No volveremos.

Been to the beech a few times over the years & sadly i never enjoy going back, tried various items from your menu & its never that nice & for the prices i think its unreal, i've actually gone in the beech & walked out with a group of 5 as the prices & food just didn't do it for us, haven't been for a while maybe they have improved now but after the last time its not somewhere i would go back to.

Comida fantástica esta noche, celebrando mis hijos cumpleaños número 18. 26 en total tuvimos una cena maravillosa. Todo el mundo hablaba de la calidad de la comida y las porciones generosas. El nuevo personal y gestión era muy amable y se sirve la comida rápidamente. Sin duda volveremos en el futuro. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente a todo el mundo.

Salimos de restaurante cercano a la vuelta de la esquina y encontramos por casualidad. Los domingos de 1:00 pm lugar tranquilo y parecía limpio y bien ventilado. opción de menú bastante limitado (como un Wetherspoons podría ser) pero decente domingo asado en oferta, así que fuimos con esto. Comida bien hecha, servicio bastante rápido. Agradable sidolis postres. Aunque la bebida preferida de mi mujer no ofrecen encargado de bar muy agradable muy agradable. único inconveniente , decepcionado por los inodoros. Cerraduras falta. estaba inoperativo secador de mano. También no podía pagar factura por tarjeta. Tenía que ser efectivo. Afortunadamente sólo tenía suficiente ( no ver una advertencia sobre esto previamente)

Han cambiado mucho a lo que solía ser, fuimos en domingo cena salsa era como agua, verduras era difícil y la carne era de un paquete y probado gomosa. (el desierto era agradable). El personal es grosero y antipático, también hay nadie en el pub pero que todavía nos dijeron 'para estar tranquilo'.

Curry indescribable gloopy, tasteless bowl of cold food. went as a group of 6. food took ages. came back tepid. curry had skin on it and was absolutely horrible. all food looked ok but tasted bland. would never go there again.place was cold. offered free dessert when I complained - refused and no refund offered. Manager nowhere to be seen. sign outside advertising for a chef!!If you've booked here for your Christmas meal check they've employed a chef recently or cancel.

The staff are great, very friendly and can't do enough for you, the food comes out quickly and is hot. It never appears very busy which tends to put us off. I do think this could be turned into a wine bar with snack food, which we would probably use more and I'm sure the teenagers would also. It's quite big inside

We came across this place, while staying locally at Bryn Meadows hotel & spa!This public house has a lovely seating area inside for dining, service was quick & friendly, nothing seemed to much for the staff. Food was very nice & quick & I particularly liked being asked how I would like my Lamb cutlets cooked, it's not often I am asked that...The food was very tasty, plentiful & very reasonable!I will be returning!

We tried this pub again, as we'd heard it had changed hands. And indeed much better. Our order was taken at the table, which was a nice touch. There wasn't an enormous choice, and no prices on the specials board. But our food came quickly, and was very hot. Pretty good too. Not the best ever, but very tasty. More than happy.

It's nice to see an enthusiastic friendly and very welcoming member of staff in the beech tree. After the previous owners daughters were always down in the dumps and not very friendly to day the very least. The girl with shoulder length dark hair works her socks off and still manages a smile and even a friendly chat while she goes about her work. Ill be back very soon.

The Beech tree has never offered a carvery service, so I'm surprised to see a review claiming it does.Being a regular, I've always enjoyed the food there, in fact, and in my opinion, it's the best around.

When initially seated, we felt the waiter had had a bad day and didn't really want to be there, he wasn't unfriendly as such a tad abrupt. We didn't have the carvery as it didn't look too appealing (but i can't judge didn't try it) the food was average, a bit bland. The arrival of a new waitress during our meal however was much nicer. She was friendly and willing to help completely.

Thought we'd give this place a go again as hadn't been for quite a while. The place was quite quiet when we went in, about a quarter of the tables occupied. After I went to the bar to collect the menu, a party of about a dozen turned up to what must have been a pre booked table. We ordered within minutes of their arrival, to find the card machine wasn't working. I ended up going out to the local cashpoint to pay the tab. After well over a half hour wait for the food, I queried the wait. When the barmaid finished with her mobile phone, she said she'd go and see. Came back and said it'll be another 5 minutes, because they'd been very busy. When I said we'd already been waiting, she shouted something about rude customers. The large party had left before we got our food. I'd chosen sausage, mash, peas and onion gravy. The non-onion gravy was poured over the mushy peas, creating a sort of soup. Adequate sausages and good mash though. The other meals, cod and chips and double burger, were fortunately better. All very hot food, served on cold plates.

Dropped in with 8 teenagers in tow, after a night time visit to Llancaiach Fawr living history museum nearby. The meals were really very good, and the prices excellent. Our order spanned beef madras (half rice, half chips!), sizzling chicken fajitas, lasagna, burgers and a steak and ale pie (very tender). All were great - very tasty and well presented. Most expensive was £11. Staff were extremely friendly tooIt's a little off the beaten track, a former 'commercial hotel'. Be prepared for some slightly tired decor, but it won't spoil a good experience.

Tobylocation-iconCorbetts LaneBritish

Normally Toby Carvery- is great! But, this time `it was not`. I think it was because `the roast potatoes` had been `sitting too long in the carvery dish` due to `not many people being there. The result was they were hard- difficult to cut & eat. Even `soaking them in gravy` didnt help! I know it would be`wasteful` but, the roast potatoes are what Toby Carvery `is all about`, hence, it would be advisable to replace the potatoes on a regular basis....before they get `too hard to eat & lose their taste! Not nice!

I was so happy to see that sky and tnt sports is back in the pub as this has been missed over the years. From experience I can only highly recommend the most house to anyone. It is a great local pub. The food is always amazing too. The pub is a credit to how it’s run by the management and by the team of staff they have.
