The Castell Mynach in Rhondda Cynon Taf

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

Atmosphere is great staff great food great service great

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.

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.

Stopped by for a late lunch today. Fantastic food and service with superb waiting staff especially Emily, Lola & Ben.

We booked on a Sunday, instead of me cooking Sunday dinner we went out! We ordered our Sunday roasts, beef, it was then that I overheard the couple sat opposite us mention the roast potatoes were hard. I hoped this was just a one off. Unfortunately this was not the case, our roast potatoes were hard too. So much so that we put them in our doggy bag for just that our dog!! The beef was nice but nothing special, and just two slices. The vegetables were lovely. All In all we were slightly disappointed. It was very busy at lunchtime so maybe the kitchen was under a bit of pressure. We did have trouble trying to find a parking space too

Although we live quite local the castell mynach is somewhere we haven’t visited in many years… decided to try it today (after visiting the local hospital nearby),for an impromptu lunch date. Large car park was quite full and we hadn’t booked .. so weren’t sure we’d get a table…but on entering we were immediately greet by the lovely Lola who assured us it wasn’t a problem and offered us a table … The menu was very varied and reasonably priced.Monday-Thursday they offer a 2course lunch for £16.95 a head,which we thought was excellent value (will come back for that very soon!!) I had the indulgent beef lasagne served with side salad and garlic bread and my husband chose the soup of the day (tomato) a generous portion served with large slice of buttered bloomer and for his main decided on the chicken pie .. which he thoroughly enjoyed .. we didn’t have any room for dessert so couldn’t be tempted by the menu Although the restaurant area was full, the service was quick and efficient with the order all correct and served with a smile by the serving staff,(nice to they take your order at the table not having to go up to the bar with a table number!!) All in all enjoyed our visit and as we left we thanked Lola and complimented her on the way her and her staff had made our visit so enjoyable WE WILL DEFINITELY RETURN!!!

One off poor meal usually good.

Slightly different choice of menu here, enjoyed and recommended the duck pizza in another outlet of this small chain

Lovely experience. Excellent staff. Highly recommend!

Excellent lunch cosy by the fireplace warm and friendly welcome from Lola, Jane and Sarah

Lovely spot for a lunch of a Monday. Superb, friendly service from Lola. Will definitely be back.

Always a warmwelcome and a good choice on the menu. Food always well prepared too. A nice place to go when you fancy a good meal in quiet and very civilised surroundings.

Fantastic food and service from Jane, Lola and Caitlin.

Come here regular, amazing service and staff always great

Great little pub , great food , great service

Atmosphere and most of the food was great. My group can't recommend the lasagna, but the burgers were decent

10/10 food, 10/10 service, what more can you ask for

First time visiting this pub after driving past many times. I cannot recommend enough. Service was great and food was perfect! Definitely recommend the lamb shank, it was cooked to perfection and fell off the bone! Portion sizes were spot on and overall good value for money. Will be visiting again soon!

Caitlin was our waitress this evening, and certainly made a lovely evening even better

Lovely food in lovely environment. Great service from Caitlin.

Lovely service and staff. Visited with family for food. Our waitress Caitlin was polite and accommodating, A bubby friendly girl. Would highly recommend a visit.

Had a lovely lunch, with all my work colleagues. Definitely be back.

Lovely food as always, Great service. Love this place

Wow! Can you go to a place a second time and it gets worse? Sadly, yes. The Castell Mynach was highly recommended to me a long time ago. I didn’t enjoy the below par food then, but thought, let’s give it another chance. Here’s my honest opinion. Parking at 7.30 full. Good sign? Waited while Mr Bean finally freed up a space and in we went. Fairly swiftly we were led to table 5. Relatively clean and in a great setting. It looks the part. The menus gave the clue. Cheap and nasty. I mean cheap. So to the food. I plumped for Freshly cooked haddock in batter? and “Triple cooked chips.” From ordering to being served it took approximately seven minutes. Really— that quick! How? It was clearly because the food hadn’t been freshly prepared and was a result of nothing more than a heating up. The batter didn’t just look greasy— it WAS greasy; and I mean GREASY. It wasn’t crispy, it was too oiled up for that. The fish itself was bland, It was watery and honestly, I’ve had better tasting fish fingers from Tesco’s. The title “Triple cooked chips” seemed to reflect that the nonsensical title was because the chips were probably returned three times and reheated. They were that hot that my wife has a blistered mouth as a result. True story. I didn’t want the mushy peas or any dressing so can’t and wont comment on them. I challenged myself to the “Triple scoop of ice cream” oh boy!! The dish when served looked like the ice cream had been served using a children’s toy spoon they were that small. To put into context, if you put all three together you’d still not make a standard sized ice cream lolly from Sainsbury’s. It equated to £2 a scoop which was an insult. The vanilla marbles (they really were that small) were full of hard ice. Clearly not home made and kept in a freezer at too high a setting. The chocolate marble was full of what I’m still debating were either glacial fragments or chocolate pieces. I really am struggling with that aspect. The waiter we had was awful. He spoke three words and looked grumpy. I don’t care if he was tired, he is paid to be tired. i give healthy tips to smilers through tiredness. He got nothing. The only good thing about the experience was the pint of shandy I had. At least that tasted as it should have. I would have spent a few hours in there and good money enjoying a great atmosphere but honestly, it was so rushed you felt compelled to leave. I did. Note: The gent who took my money was genuinely concerned about my disquiet about the food and offered me the manager. I don’t do scenes and care little about the £60 it cost. That money was well spent being able to warn people to be guarded on eating there. It seems consistently bad. Were there happy customers? It seemed like, I so wished I was one of those. To top it off, I was bitten on the neck by something that’s stinging like crazy as I type this. You couldn’t write it. Actually, you can— I just did. My apologies go out to my beautiful wife whose birthday was spoilt. She was happy ish with her food but knows I wasn’t. Poor show Vintage Inns. You need to wake up and get your act together. Nos Da.

Love the weekend menu will call again

It's a lovely place and lovely food and helpful staff the only thing is that dog's are aloud in the restaurant area which the dog was barking at people walking past it was not a relaxing meal.

Lovely lunch today for a catch up with friends. Thank you to Sarah for the attention and service.

Enjoyed pie of the day (beef) and honeycomb dome. Made to feel very welcome. Warm and cosy, clean and interesting decor. Thank you Lola

Great ambience and a good variable menu. The food is very nice, the sea bass delicious. The staff are pleasant and friendly and service is good. Parking is easy and plentiful, a nice restaurant for a family occasion. Only thing I would mention is that food was a little late in arriving but I wouldn't let that put me off.

Drinks taken and given promptly, starters within 15 minutes and main course not 10 minutes after starters were taken away, food was amazing, really couldnt fault it, i had the mushrooms and for mains the new lamb shank, ow wow absolutly stunning, although the home made pie looked just as good, lovely staff, nothing was to much even tough u could see they were extreamly busy, brilliant fair play!!

Great Sunday lunch, roast beef was delicious and the trio of meat was stunning. Good portion size and for a reasonable price.

Awful food Sunday late afternoon, everything was incinerated but Luke warm when served!? An afternoon on a hot plate cooked at midday most likely, beef very poor quality mainly gristle and at 5.30 already ran out of sea bass and Schnitzel the alternatives then were poorly cooked or burnt,Toilets disgusting save your money and cook at home this place doesn’t deserve a visit

Honestly the meal was stunning. I asked to be sat with a bench as recently broke my leg. The meal came promptly . Staff was very helpful in addition.

After having plesent meals lunch times in this pub I booked to take friends for a birthday treat.. The service was not up to standard we waited over hour for our 2nd coarse the drink orders were wrong on 2 occasions the waiters were very plesent but obviously the venue had over booked the tables. The drink menu available is really expensive for area and did not expect yo pay £6.80 for pint of ale & £5.40 for bottle of alcohol free beer also £2.80 for bottle of tonic to go onto of price of gin is unacceptable for this reason we won't be returning to this public house The interior deco ambience of the pub is lovely

Lovely place. Food was lovely. Friendly staff

Had a lovely midweek meal here with a friend! Food was lovely, nicest lasagne I've had in a very long time!! The environment is very warm and welcoming and the staff attentive and friendly. Will definitely be a returning customer 😊

Great food, lovely staff.. Thank you

Thank you to all staff for a spectacular evening for my Auntie's 80th Birthday. Everybody in the party enjoyed the wonderful food and the fantastic service.

Pizza tastes funny, sour cheese so had to bin it! It was stacked in a small box so all the cheese stuck to all the slices. Halloumi fries were cold and rubbery, fries didnt turn up and onion rings were ok

Good food and excellent staff but seems to be turning into a kennel. On a previous visit saw a dog sitting on a chair shortly after I had seen it leaving a deposit on the grass outside. On my last visit , in the bar area there were 9 customers and 4 dogs along with a man in the restaurant area eating food while cradling his dog. Disgusting, dogs should NEVER be allowed in dining areas. Do the management ever take into consideration that the customers - who are the ones that spend their money , might be allergic to dogs. Apparently not , seems like dogs get preference. One unfortunate result of COVID seems to be an epidemic of dogs in pubs.

The food and the service was friendly and simply exquesit.

Amazing food, good size portions, stunning decor and phenomenal service, we will definitely be returning

Absolutely everything was just perfect...the staff were so friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Ceri looked after us so well, we felt as though we had made a friend, which was really lovely! I also had a takeaway meal to take home to my partner....he thoroughly enjoyed it....his words were 'DELICIOUS'!

fantastic Sunday roast delivered hot and on time. really good amounts of food apart from the gravy. there was hardly any gravy given and that is the reason I am not giving full 5 stars. give more gravy!!

Had a lovely family meal. Although it was busy, it didn't feel busy and we were wonderfully looked after by Nikki. The friendly staff are very attentive and we were topped up with drinks frequently. The food was amazing! I shared the camebert with my daughter as a starter and it was absolutely lush! Just a lovely evening. Thanks to everyone!

My husband and I had a lovely meal last night. Our waitress Caitaln was wonderful and very helpful. Thank you

Always lovely food. Fast and friendly service!

Sunday lunch is delicious, other meals had were below expectations

Pub was really cosy and welcoming with free parking and wifi. Food was delicious and service excellent . Staff were very accommodating with our requests. All the team including Caitlin and Sarah were really helpful and polite. We needed to charge a medical device whilst at the restaurant and the staff were happy for us to do so, which we really appreciated. Will definitely be back soon and highly recommend.

Visited with friends for Sunday lunch. Good ambience, good quality food which was well presented. Friendly, helpful staff

Cant fault a single thing! We wanted x2 Sunday dinners at 7:30pm as most places are shut by 4pm we tried The Castell Mynach. Easy access and parking, welcoming and friendly staff (Thanks to waiters Ben and Josh), great size portions, beautiful food and a fair price on a bottle of red. Quick and friendly service, great food, fair prices and value for money with portion sizes. Nice environment also, Vintage Inns chain but individual with its own character.

Had a lovely family meal. Loved the way tables spaced out so you are not right on top of other customers. The food was well cooked and presented. Not cheap but we all enjoyed so was worth it. Will be returning

Enjoyed it very much food was good, service was excellent very friendly atmosphere. Only thing I would say cutlery needs to be a bit clearer, otherwise great

Lovely Country Pub , serving a great range of quality food & drink We couldn't fault our visit and will certainly be back when we are next in the area

Took advantage of the 40% off mains offer so it was very busy. Despite this the food was of a very good standard and service from some of the staff there was excellent

Had a lovely 2 course lunch special here today with friends. Thai veggie curry was delicious ( look out for those chillies though) we all enjoyed our meals. Albeit hurried as we had a tour date at the Royal Mint! Service brill too, thank you

Fantastic service, great menu choices and well cooked food.

Friendly service, good food, good beer. Perfect!

Been here twice and will definitely be back and take clients from work. Food stunning staff very good. Last time here I had lunch here with the wife. We then went on to the manor up the road and had food there but wish we had gone back to the castell Mynach for food would of been the better choice. IF YOU NOT BREN TO THIS PLACE YOUR MIDDING OUT GIVE IT A GO

Been here twice now and will definitely be back. Food lovely service fantastic. Stay at the manor up the road also had food thete but wish I had go back to the castell to have evening meal aswell food alot better at castell mynach

We had the most memorable experience when we decided to book a table last minute at the Castell Mynach as we were visiting Wales last month. We were a group of 10 people and every single person thoroughly enjoyed the food. The staff went above and beyond and were so friendly. We all would definitely recommend the Castell Mynach to anyone looking for good quality food, great service in a beautiful pub.

Ticked all the boxes for a quick afternoon lunch

Great evening, nice meal and coffee. Our servers were very friendly and helpful, it was very busy but Chloe and Euan met our needs with a smile.

Planned a 14th birthday meal for my son. Food was excellent and the staff were friendly and very accommodating! Well played Castell Mynach, well played.

Brilliant customer service, food was amazing

Caitlin was absolutely AMAZING!! She couldn't have done more to make our evening more enjoyable, taking photographs of dishes to help make our mind up. Ben was really helpful too, making us feel really welcome. Highly recommend The Castell Mynach.

Called in the castle mynach for lunch to finish off my holiday the food was amazing Sarah and Nikki were so lovely and accommodating had a lovely time will be back very soon

Just got of a flight from Spain as we were on. Cruise and we stopped of for lunch and it did not disappoint at all. Loved my duck pizza

Walked into be greeted y lovely friendly staff. They had also read my booking about having a gluten free menu. I was given a tablet to order from which was easy to use and had a great selection of foods. The curry and triple cooked chips were beautiful and the best chips I've had for a very long time. Quick service and lovely staff. Will definitely be visiting again.

Great gluten fee options. Staff were friendly and helpful. Booking system was great. Great food portions and really tasty. Curry was lovely and creamy. Triple cooked chips were perfect.

Very enjoyable, would recommend, very nice portions.

Enjoyed our 3 for £10 bar snacks and Ice cold peroni on the patio at the Castell Mynach. All staff very welcoming and friendly as always! Definitely recommend for any occasion even if it's just to pop in for the odd one or two drinks! The sunshine was out and even had parasols available to have some shade! Thank you to all who welcomed myself and my parents we had a very pleasant visit as we always do! Looking forward to all updates and upcoming events via the Facebook page:)

Absolutely amazing food and service. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food is spot on. A huge thank you to Alison for the friendly service.

Absolutely great place, great food. Great and friendly staff! The signature burger is 10/10

Nice clean modern old world pub, friendly staff, good food and good beer selection. I recently had Sunday lunch which was particularly good and nice outside area for a beer

The staff are really nice and welcoming the atmosphere is cosy and the good and drinks are second to none. I asked for a window table and that was waiting for us when we arrived the waitress was at the table within minutes and the service is amazing
