Food always on point , top marks...never had a bad experience, staff are very friendly and polite 5 stars from me 👌👍👍👍

My scampi pieces came out burnt on one side from the hotplate which i can understand if it had been hangin around for 10mins but i was brought out the food burnt. Chewy steak and pale undercooked chips

Been here many times and food is always lovely and staff friendly

Went for lunch today, had the 2 for £11.75 deal. Fish and chips was excellent, light batter, large portion of fish and tasty with peas and chips. Lasagne was very tasty, lots of flavour and went well with the garlic slices. Great value lunch , we will be back.

Friendly and approachable staff. Much more positive experience this time around, nice to see a good number of staff on shift and not too long to wait for food even though the place was half full on arrival.

Nice food cooked as asked for. Had a laugh with the staff

Had the rib platter, the meat was falling off the bone and thoroughly delicious. The boss burgers were slightly over cooked but still lovely. More mac and cheese tho please. Can't really go wrong in a sizzler

Lovely food, brilliant service polite staff!

Been coming back and forth for a little while now and always have great service and great food!

Came on the spur of the moment with husband and three children, service was fantastic, food was delicious and atmosphere was lovely, staff went out of their way to be kind and helpful, even though we ordered and pay using the fantastic table service option, would come.back again and our 7 yr old son said 10/10!!

Friendly staff and delicious food

Amazing manager, chips were cold but this was rectified immediately!

Lovely food and always friendly staff

Nice quiet place to have a meal with family friends or even by yourself!

The wife had a chicken shack which she enjoyed and trust me she really fuzzy I had the short rib platter which was awesome Came on New Year’s Day it was really nice atmosphere staff was very nice and friendly with a welcoming spirit I liked So come and see for yourself don’t think you will be disappointed

Nice food nice service we come here regularly 😀

Second time we’ve been at The Fendrod in last couple of weeks and we have noticed a huge difference in the place. Tables now get cleared and cleaned very quickly after customers leave, service is fast and friendly and food is fresh and hot. Spoke to a gentleman who is the temporary manager (didn’t get his name) and told him that the place has changed for the better, a massive improvement since he’s been there. Unfortunately he is apparently moving on soon…..hopefully the next manager will maintain the same high standards.

Fantastic meal for new years eve always a lovely welcome very much enjoyed

Fantastic service and food highly recommend

Lovely staff, food took a little while but was nice. Not too busy nice atmosphhere. Really good value for monye

We visited on Christmas eve which is my daughters birthday. There were 15 of us. The service we received was over and above and we would like to extend our appreciation to all staff. The food all arrived Hot and at the same time and the staff were checking that everything was OK for us. Highly recommend.

Lovely food and brilliant staff

Bar staff and overall amazing customer service very happy 😃 keep up the good work

Excellent flavour to the food here. Could have been served slightly hotter.

Food was hot and very tasty would definitely recommend any one to go here the safe were polite and friendly

Lovely service as always, especially having a nut allergy sufferer as they informed us that the kitchen was nut allergy friendly. Food arrived promptly and everyone was very happy

Delicious food. Great service with a great sense of humour. Highly recommend the sweet chilli halloumi

Food was out standing and dessert just need more table service so not waiting around.

Me and my family come to The Fendrod for food whenever in Swansea, Brilliant food and service. Would recommend to anyone

Very good value overall and friendly staff

Good food, nice people and fair prices

Brilliant food, good service and good atmosphere

Food was really good and served quickly, staff were friendly, I wall definitely go back again.

Awesome service, especially Tom!!. Could not do enough for our group even though they were extremely busy

We've been to the fendrod twice in the last week for 2 different Christmas meals woth over 20 children on each visit. Darren, jenny, Tom and the team were amazing on both days. They catered yo everything we asked for. We're very cautious with allergies. They done the pub soo proud and all of my girls throughly enjoyed themselves. Will definitely be back and booking some more parties for my girl guiding units. Would highly recommend for any meals. Well done guys.

Staff were really friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was really relaxed, and the Christmas decorations were really pretty. Food and drinks were lovely. Thank you for a lovely evening. We'll be back soon.

Booked a table for a meal for myself, my husband and our two small children to celebrate my birthday. Staff are so polite and helpful, and service was really quick. We have been here before and will definitely be coming back again.

Great service, lovely food and warm atmosphere!

Lovely staff, even on a busy shift they all are so happy and chatty, worth the travel up!

We had a lovely meal with our group of Rainbow Guides. The food was lovely and the service from Darren and his team was excellent.

We took 2 Rainbow girl guides units for a meal, the 22 girls were aged between 4-7 with 5 leaders. Darren (manager) made sure everything ran smoothly and both he and Tom were fantastic and friendly with the girls, such an easygoing and stress free meal with so many small children and all down to how well the pub is run. Any issues are resolved really quickly. Thank you so much for time with you I know the girls really enjoyed their meals and had a fun time 😉

Really nice meal, burgers were great and happy to come back.

Impeccable service .what a lovely attitude the staff had here on 11/12/2024.7.30pm.nothing was to much trouble to explain things when asked. Certain other sizzling pubs could learn from these staff.

I went here the other day with my partner, Yummy, traditional pub food. Staff were friendly, and food came out promptly. Nice pub in Swansea.

First visit on the hop, will return again. Lovely Christmas vibe, happy friendly staff and nice hot sausage and mash. Can't fault it.

Still as bad as it was 10 years ago slow service low quality food. Told us when our food arrived some items weren't available. Did get a refund for these items.

We absolutely enjoyed our evening meal. The staff and the service was amazing even though they were very busy. We shall definitely be returning.

Very friendly and welcoming team at the Fendrod. Lovely food which we all enjoyed. Wish we'd had more time to sample the desserts, however Swansea v Leeds called!!

When ordering mixed grill from phone would like to have also a option of having no mushrooms or onion rings

Food was tasty and hot, staff were friendly and everything was priced fairly

Much improved recently. Food was tasty and was served quickly. Will definitely be back to try over the Xmas period.

Absolutely terrible it was so disappointing, never again and I wouldn’t recommend. I wish I’d gone to McDonald’s

Good was good and came quite quick but dessert never arrived, after waiting an hour and half after ordering I had to ask for a refund. I was told they didn't realise a dessert had been ordered and there was only a handful of people in the pub. Poor service

Upon arrival we had to wait 5 minutes to be seen to, ordered my free drink for first time using the app and sat at our table, went up to order food, again waited 10 mins as nobody behind the bar, got fed up so went back to the table and ordered through the app, our order went through at 5:15pm, our soft drinks arrived at the table soon after, then waited an hour before asking a member of staff where our food was as the wait was quite long, it wasn't overly busy there. We were told that a large table of orders had gone in just before ours hence the delay, we were given another drink each on the house but it was a small compensation for the long wait. The food was nice when it eventually arrived but the serving times were shocking and could be improved drastically.

Awful experience will never go back waited 45 minutes for starters and 20 for drinks Bear in mind only a table of 4. Soon as starters come we ordered mains just incase we would be waiting ages well when it come it was horrific couldn’t eat it. Under cooked mixed grill. My hunters chicken would was awful and the children’s meal was to sent all back. And the front of house did issues us a refund on main meals. But it’s besides point was horrid. The chef should be ashamed poor communication kitchen staff was telling. Front of house different did feel sorry for him he was trying his beast

All very poor no taste to the food took over an hour to come and it really wasn't that busy there . I have been to other sizzler pubs which were absolutely fantastic and was expecting this experience to be the same but unfortunately not .

absolutely appalling food me and my family were not happy as the food was cold and clearly the fries were saturated in chilly will not be coming again and we nearly waited 2 hours for the food

The place was severely understaffed. You only had one person at the bar which was having to take food orders, drinks orders and app orders. Our food took (from payment), 1 hour and 20 minutes to come to our table. We had no update when we arrived that there would be a wait on food and we was not updated during this period that our food was taking longer than usual. The sizzling food was great but the mixed grill chips and chicken was cold and did not eat. My son's burger was also cold which he left. Absolutely devastated to be honest as it was a birthday meal. I understand the chef was told to go on lunch early because they were busy in the evening so the afternoon customers have suffered. Numerous people left waiting for food and asking for a refund. I hope you can turn this around because I've never known it to be so bad so I'm not sure what's changed.

Waited 1 hour 10 mins for food. Had to ask the servers where food is. Mixed grill was overoooked meats, soggy chips with no egg, so very dry Very poor indeed

Called in here for some lunch on a Sunday, the pub was empty when we arrived so no excuse for bad food. Pepsi glasses were covered in a residue so couldn’t drink them (oily stuff on top of the drink). Family member had a steak which had been deep fried not even put on a grill. Sausages were raw and not edible. Mixed grill burnt on one side uncooked the other side, I work in a pub myself and I can assure you that them steaks were microwaved and deep fried. Chef went to the toilet and he was stinking dirty.. Sorry but we won’t be back as it’s gone absolutely vile. Never again!

Called today for lunch. Staff were really friendly and helpful. I shared the boneless chicken for 3 with my grandson along with chips and garlic bread. My husband ordered the surf and turf. The chicken was really tasty, 9 pieces with 2 slices of garlic bread and chips, came with 3 dips ,we really enjoyed. The rump steak was delicious, served medium as requested, it was tender and tasty, served with onion rings,mushroom, tomato and fries. Also ordered a pepper sauce...which was quite hot 🔥 but very tasty. We had a lovely relaxed lunch and look forward to returning.

Very happy and pleased with the service I received, and would 100% go again and plan a family meal or go there for lunch with friends. Couldn't be happier with the staff and the food quality. Thank you for your lovely service and approachable staff members.

Amazing service and food, would recommend

Slow service. Limited menu Cold food Overcooked steak

Called in on the off chance . Not very busy . Found table ok . Ordered girl at till did nt seem very interested got my drink wrong . Waited nearly an hour for food mine mixed grill was ok . Chips went cold very quickly . My wifes was chill hollomi . Well . We found the veg . Very oilie and not much taste and there was 3 small pieces of hollomi not worth 10 pounds her chips were again cold the rice was over cooked . The place seemed very dark and not very inviting will not be back . Not worth the money or the drive to get there

Called in for lunch. Great food at a reasonable price, friendly staff and food was served within 15 minutes. Definitely worth a visit.

Waited 1 hour and 10 minutes for my meal to come, no mushrooms and no tomato, no apology for the wait, nothing extra provided for the missing items from the meal. The most grumpy/rude waitress we have ever come across, won't bother going there again

Lovely service with smiles all round. Visit often and would definitely recommend

Staff are amazing and friendly I highly recommend The Fendrod I love it 😘

Quality food friendly staff lovely place

Great food and service and staff very friendly and willing to help

good prices. not all that busy on a saturday afternoon to justify the 75min wait. had to go up and get my order to table drinks.. after 30mins of waiting. not good but i believe they were short staffed due to sickness. the food was very nice tho and worth the wait

Went there tonight (Sept 12th) for food,booked for 7pm,had to wait over an hour for food even though it wasn't that busy,our meals were awful,mixed grill was burnt,sausage,steak & onion rings couldn't eat them they were that bad & my steak was tough,had a full refund back on both meals,won't be returning.

best service I've received in a long time, made my birthday really worth the visit - even if they didn't know 😂 !

We've been many times now, always great food, great service etc. Will be continuing to eat there. 5*

Fab place for food. Staff always freindly & helpfully.

Amazing service. Staff are friendly and food was amazing.

Lovely food, great service and would happily come back again

Great since the renovations service and skillets spot on

Our food was delivered quickly and was delicious the staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough for us

Absolutely fantastic we had a large group of people and the staff are absolutely amazing they give us a brilliant welcome every time they deserve recognition as they make the experience special every time we had food on the 23rd august thank you so much Helen

Wrong food delivered , food missing, wrong drinks . My advice don't use the app

Amazing food, amazing customer service. All staff had amazing enthusiasm, could hear singing and could just tell they enjoy their job, was nice to see! I definitely recommend this pub!

I went to the Fendrod in June 2024, the day the first Euro football match was on, so obviously it was packed. That was the only problem. Increased wait times. Lovely place, lovely employees, lovely food, problem is increased wait time but it isn't their fault!

Visited the Fendrod on a rainy Monday afternoon, only to have the best service from Scott-t-pus and Darren. The food was spectacular and the drinks were flowing, fantastic offer on the wines, highly recommend and we will definitely be back. It definitely makes a visit so much better when the staff are awesome! 5 *****

Must say.. its the first time I have ever been there for food.. and food was absolutely outstanding, perfect size portion and cooked to perfection. And staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended place. Will 100% be going back there.

Absolutely terrible waiting a hour for our food.. and tbh it pointless chips cold and hanging..

Efficient .safe. welcoming. Hassle free. Enjoyable good. Excellent staff. Thank you

Called in the fendrod yesterday hadn't been there for years.orderd drinks and food wait time was an hr .lovely clean place ,nice atmosphere when the food came couldn't fault it .Worth the wait .

Over a hour and 20 minutes for food to arrive not even busy and not the first time absolute joke of place!!!

Waited over a hour and 20 minutes for food to arrive it was not even busy and it’s not the first time it’s happened with the long waits place is a absolute joke won’t be going again

Awful. Ordered at table as advised would be quicker. Took 30mins to get a coffee. Took another 35mins to get one meal. Waitress dumped food on table and said cutlery over there pointing to other end of room, which she passed getting to me. Food - 3 dry sausages, 1 teaspoon of peas (not joking) mash that was not creamy but hard, and 2 tablespoons of gravy. All at a cost of £16.45 Never ever come here again- waste of time and money

the food was excellent and the quality of the food was great

Visited today (20.07.24) and it was extremely busy, but the very few staff were excellent. Food was as good usual. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff even though you could see they were run off their feet.

The Fendrod has good food and quality drinks is family friendly with good staff and not too expensive. 👍
