The Castell Mynach in Rhondda Cynon Taf

A lovely venue with beautiful views

The portion was child size ,I had a lasagna.the dish was like a saucer..at adult price .The waitress was a bit snappy.when asked a question.

Very nice food and staff were very helpful

Hannah was so friendly, the pub was so careful in regards to my allergy. And the food was brilliant.

Brilliant service and lovely food. Hannah the waitress was fabulous.

We had a lovely meal, great atmosphere and managed to book last minute. Hannah our server was great thank you again

Thank you to Lola and colleagues for your kind and warm hospitality every week.

First impressions were not great, arrived to be told that our table was broken so would be seated at a makeshift table. Asked for another table and the restaurant manager found another suitable one. 30 mins wait before order was taken, cider was served with a dirty glass. Sent the glass back and drank out of the bottle instead. Only saving grace was the service from the lovely waitress and the food was alright too.

Phoned last minute as we were let down by a pub just down the road where we had booked. Table for 16 people, adults and children. The CM said they could fit us in and I’m so glad they did. Katie served us for the evening and she was so helpful, great with the kids and just lovely. Food was great, drinks were quick, and had a really good night after the disappointment at the start with the other venue. Definitely would return again.

Katie was very pleasant and helpful.

Fantastic food , such a friendly atmosphere, very welcoming , will definitely be back. Aaaa++++++++

Excellent service beautiful food and great service from Irish Lola highly recommend best place around

Lovely food, even better staff especially Hannah

Hannah is amazing. So lovely and welcoming ❤️ we’ve had a lovely night!

The food was sooo yummeee. Had the lamb shank that was great and tasty. The chicken schnitzel was just as good. Can go back for more when in the area.

Lovely warm welcome and super dog friendly.

Had no gravy , evry think was yummy

We booked in advance and was clear about onion allergy of one guest. No one was aware when we arrived... and there were repeated visits to the kitchen to check. Pretty much nothing on the menu was onion free 😔

Great food today and served was fabulous by Emily. Can’t wait for our next visit. Kids loved being around the people and there dogs ever so friendly ☺️ would recommend to any family and anyone looking for somewhere to eat and take there dogs 🐶

Very welcoming and friendly efficient service. Lovely plentiful food and choices. I especially loved the mini pudding and hot drink dessert option.

Went out for a meal for my 50th birthday with my husband and really enjoyed everything about the Castle Mynach. The pub itself is lovely, the food was delicious and we have absolutely no complaints whatsoever! We can highly recommend the signature burger and the sirloin steak, all cooked to perfection, the garlic ciabatta and onion rings weren't full of grease, very tasty. Thank you to the staff for a lovely experience!

Dog friendly nice pub good food car park was almost full when I arrived so didn't expect a seat for dinner but they found me a seat for me and dog very good service. Thanks

Had a lovely lunch, especially nice to find they are dog friendly. Best to book if you have a dog. Will be back again soon.

Excellent service from Alyson. And all the staff.

This is almost London West End in quality

Went at for a late lunch today and the food was lovely and friendly staff. There was one problem we had to sit at the casual end as we didn't have a booking, but that was our fault.

Great food and first class service

Took quite a long time to take our order and service wasn’t great but the food was lovely

Lovely atmosphere great food friendly staff. Also dog friendly. 👍🐩. I had the haddock and chips which was absolutely lovely. Made such a nice change to see haddock on a menu instead of cod, in my opinion much nicer fish. My wife had the sea bass and hasn't stopped telling everyone she spoke to how amazing it was. This was our 1st time here but it certainly won't be our last. We might even take our dog next time. Fantastic.

Starter was lovely, main was ok, desert was incredible. Service was very slow, we had three courses and were there for 3 hours!

Terrible service, had one course in 2 hours. Gave up on dessert and asked for the bill, strangely they hadn’t removed my deposit from the total… seemed frustrated as I requested to be removed. Would avoid.

This is such a lovely pub, with real warmth and friendly staff. Had dinner last night after dropping grandchildren back home. Place was really full but usherd to a free table quickly by Caitlin with a big smile . Food was great and Hannah made sure that we were well taken carred of. Will definately go back again, such a friendly welcoming environment

Visited for lunch today, Lola and the team were very friendly and the duck pizza slapped

Brilliant sefvice and food. We recomend

Popped in for a dinner with the family, absolutely beautiful, had the trio and the lamb, and sticky toffee pudding for desert, staff were brilliant, food came out very quick, will definitely be back.

Came here for a family dinner, there were 13 of us in total and food came out promptly so we all got to eat together. Food and desert were delicious. I’d like to say a special thanks to Caitlin for her great service and being so friendly. She was on the ball with anything we needed, and was always checking in to make sure we were happy with the food and drinks. We as a family will all plan on returning. Great pub. Thanks to all.

Food lush atmosphere staff amazing... I'm stuffed too xxx

Great service and venue for Sunday lunch. Warm and inviting atmosphere with great service from Lola.

Enjoyed an excellent burger and was greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Service was also top notch. Top quality food and experience would eat here again.

Encantadora noche con amigos el personal tan amable y agradable realmente cuida de todos. Puedes escucharlos en cada mesa cuidando de todos

Just another pub, with pub meal, not my thing for a special occasion. We ordered some starters as well as mains, were asked if all should come together, not explained what was meant - rather annoying not reconfirming, but then not able to change that....

Perfect Sunday lunch! Thoroughly recommend the belly pork and don't forget some delicious cauliflower cheese to go with it. Oh! Also some pigs in blankets. Very tasty! Desserts: also awesome 👌 (banana choux pastry and the sticky toffee pudding with custard). The food was - as you can probably gather from all these exclamation marks - fantastic! The service was also excellent. It was very busy (popular place and understandably so) but even so we didn't have to wait long at all for our meals. All served hot and fresh. Thanks all.

We had the most wonderful Sunday roast here. The belly pork was awesome and we both also enjoyed the sticky toffee pudding and banana choux pastry desserts respectively. We were very well looked after by the team and despite it being busy/understandably popular here we didn't have any time to wait for our meals. What a lovely time. Thank you all.

Really lovely pub with attentive staff. Most enjoyed their food. However, aubergine gratin was underwhelming, with only a few slices of aubergine on top of a pepper and tomato pasta like sauce, a tiny amount of mozarella and no crumb/crust which was a shame. Luckily, there was some garlic bread to provide some texture. Hopefully the other veggie options are better!

Excellent meal. All five of us thoroughly enjoyed our food. Service was great & very friendly. Will definitely return & thoroughly recommend it.

What a terrible night for service. I know it was Friday & I know it was busy. Our 3 soups were cold & one was served in a chipped bowl, we all sent them back. The bread with the soup was bone dry & we needed to ask for butter. Mains were OK. Dessert took ages to arrive & a Peroni was brought in stead of a brownie honestly! There were very long waiting times in-between courses. There were 5 humans & 1 dog. It was meant to be a birthday meal, I was left bitterly disappointed last night. And to top it all off my foot slipped on the wooden floor & fell on 1 knee resulting in a bruise. We've decided to not come back again.

Had lovely steaks, cooked perfectly to our orders. Chips amazing. Lola was a great host. We will be back as offers fir meals were great.

Nice place. Lovely food. Good service from friendly staff. Can't fault it really.

A very pleasant place a pleasure to visit

Lovely placed pub, the food is outstanding this was a repeat visit and wil definitely be back for more. Staff are very friendly and always happy to help. Also a dog friendly pub which is handy.

Had many meals here and never ever disappointed. Lovely Sunday Lunch, something to suit all 10 of us (plus the dog who was also spoilt) Massive Thank you to Sarah who looked after us all perfectly. See you again soon.

I come for food and drinks regularly, always a lovely pub and the staff are great. We had food there a couple of night ago and it was amazing, they were so welcoming with the dogs and the service was great. Olivia was serving us, she was friendly, rushed off her feet but always patient and smiling. She is great at her job and made the night so relaxed and chilled for us!

We go regularly and have always left well fed, happy and the service is great.

I ate here with my friends who live in the area and when I say I had some of the best food ever here, I mean it. My pie was perfect, the mixed drinks are superb, and the potatoes were incredible. I also had Eaton mess here for the first time, so it was quite an experience. I will have to stop in for a visit again the next time I’m in Wales.

As a family with gluten free needs it can sometimes be difficult eating out. Josh our server was extremely helpful going back and forth to the kitchen finding out what we could order and accomodating us without making us feel like we were a burden!

The food was lovely and great value. The setting and staff were also lovely

All the staff are great, very helpful and friendly. The restaurant is nicely laid out and easily accessible. Some of the dishes are a little expensive for what you get, but the ones I’ve had have been well cooked and nicely presented. The Panang curry is particularly good. The app has offers and the 50% off main dishes is particularly good.

Lola and team were very friendly and helpful

Went for a post christmas drink staff were very pleasant and service was quick atmosphere was lovely pub was very cosy with lovely log fire can't wait to go back

Great Sunday lunch as always, little one really enjoyed his fish and chips, thank you Lorraine and team!

Sunday lunch was amazing Great service from Josh Wonderful setting and child friendly Gorgeous meal Menu has great variety with normal meals on Sundays also

Great food and atmosphere, team very professional and happy as always. Drinks served quickly by Ben always smiling, thank you again Lorraine and team

Walking up to the venue it looked so welcoming. Inside had a cosy homey feel and was so well decorated. The menu had something for everyone. We were a large party and the staff were patient with us when taking our orders and even remembered who ordered what when bringing the food out. The food was so delicious, I cleared my plate which is not something I do often. Everyone at the table mentioned how good the food was and how they looked forward to a return visit to try more things on the menu. It was my first time there since 16 years ago and I was impressed how it has changed so much for the better. I will definitely look forward to returning. Thank you.

Good pub food and good service from Josh

I took a friend for lunch,excellent time

Lovely warm welcome when we arrived. Staff were very friendly and approachable especially Evan and Kaci as nothing was too much trouble for either of them. Our lunch was superb. Will definitely be back.

Great food,lovely atmosphere,good service and ideal that we could bring the dog. Thanks

Not been for many years. Made big improvement since then, Great food & staff super helpful

Absolutely amazing loved the food, great service 👌.

Thank you so much for a perfect meal

Lovely meal today in relaxed surroundings. Attentive staff and would definitely recommend 👌

Thank you to nicky ,ewan and Olivia for their wonderful service

Lovely place for food. Lovely service from the Staff... Nicky, Iwan and Olivia. Be back again soon

We went to the Castell Mynach for a Christmas meal on Christmas Eve, and had a lovely time with a great meal and drinks. The food was excellent, with plenty of vegan options. Great service too from the waiter, Ben, who was really attentive, helpful, and explained the food option well. Looking forward to visiting again soon

Excellent service from Hannah and Caitlyn. We always receive a warm welcome, lovely ambiance. We are never disappointed with the food, love the three for £12 bar snacks, good selection of drinks to choose from.

Lovely lunch great food and service

Family Xmas gathering. Food & service tiptop. Thanks to chefs & servers. Nikki, Alison, Caitlin & Ben made our evening. Again thanks.

A lovely place for a family get together. The food was amazing, some of us chose from the festive menu while others went for dishes on the regular menu. Our servers Alison, Caitlen Nikki and barman Ben were very attentive and nothing was too much for them. Will definitely be returning and recommending to others.

Boxing day meal at Castel Mynach. Table was not set with crackers and serviettes. Glasses were not clean and not enough for our table of 8. Turkey meal was extremely salty. Constantly disturbed by staff using doorway next to our table. Service poor. Bill charged with service charge and no deposit being removed. If we hadn't noticed, they would not have refunded. Would not recommend. How many other deposits were not taken into consideration that day?

The best food the best staff ever

Table of 8 for Xmas day. Couldn’t fault it. The service was excellent all the staff were happy and cheerful The food was delicious and hot Definitely recommend

Big thank you to Lola and Sarah for this evening. Great food, service and Christmas atmosphere. Sincerely, the noisy party in the corner!!

Poor customer service. The staff were dismissive, direct and they lacked professionalism. They were rushed, appeared not to care and lacked warmth. I won’t visit again.

Really nice pub. Warm, friendly, and nice food options on the menu. Car park is small so can be an issue when really busy

Fantastic food, service excellent, highly recommended, we will be back !

Great atmosphere excellent service from Emily very friendly wonderful service will be back

We had a lovely evening. Great service and lovely food

We've been here White a lot. Usually for drinks which have been pleasant visits. The food is also very nice.

We had breakfast with Santa on the 14.12.24. What a wonderful morning, staff were amazing the family really enjoyed Thank you all. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas 🎄

I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner at The Castell Mynach. The sirloin I ordered was cooked to perfection, with every bite being a delight. Everyone in my group seemed equally pleased with their meals, which speaks volumes about the quality and consistency of the food. To top it all off, the pudding was absolutely amazing—definitely one of the highlights of the evening. It was a wonderful dining experience overall.

Amazing food and super friendly staff, 100% reccomend!

I love this place. The staff friendly The place itself is cosy and clean.And they sell a decent wine. However, the last time we went, we had an early reservation, but they only had one of my three choices off the menu. And that applied to three of our party. That was a bit disappointing. Saying that, I would highly recommend this place. And a bonus, they are dog friendly. I would have given five stars, had they had what they were offering.......

Had a lovely impromptu Xmas lunch today, no booking and Lola and her team were so welcoming and the food was fantastic. Definitely be back, incredible hospitality and great atmosphere A++++++

Jane and Chloe were very attentive and friendly

Lovely venue good food Friendly staff

Great food etc but prices on menu don't included vat so u get a bit of a shock when u have your bill.

Cerry our waitress was very polite and very helpful,there was a delay with our food order ,but they were very busy ,it was well worth the wait, Lola came over and explained and gave us a free dessert for waiting soo long.The Sunday roast we had was delicious and ample all piping hot the gravy was delicious and all the veg was fresh and the dessert we had was delicious.we will come again .And would recommend to friends and family.

Atmosphere is great staff great food great service great

Lovely Sunday dinner would recommend Staff very friendly would definitely vist again

Went here 23.11.2024 on the off chance. We live close by but haven’t been here for years as it wasn’t a good experience last time. I know it’s changed hands since I went there and I was really surprised. The starter baked Camembert was delicious and so were the two mains of haddock and spinach fish cakes and hunters chicken schnitzel. I can wholeheartedly recommend the Castell Mynach based on this visit and I’ll be back soon to try the rest of the menu. Thanks to all the staff.
