Visited for a family birthday meal, we were a party of 18 and the service was excellent. Two allergies to cater for which were managed brilliantly and staff were always on hand. Great environment and the food portion were very very good. We all left full and happy.

FOOD REVIEW ONLY. I came here with my work for our works Christmas meal. Plenty of vegan options to choose from when speaking to the staff, who were friendly and helpful. I went with the soup for starter, which was nice. Then the pepper pot for my main, which came with the usually Christmas dinner veg. Large portion size and enjoyable. For dessert they had a vegan brownie and vegan ice cream which wasn't on the menu and it was delicious! Everyone enjoyed their meals and we all left stuffed. Lovely pub and great meal.

Great value pub with rooms. Friendly welcome, shown personally to room. Room is well equipped. Beds are comfy enough. Bathroom clean and in good condition. Shower is over a bath, but it's got excellent pressure and heat. Biscuits and bottles of still and sparkling water provided free, as well as tea and coffee making facilities. Shame the milk is full fat UHT and I prefer fairly traded tea and coffee but I'm not knocking them down for this. Breakfast is a mix of help yourself continental options and got meal you pre-order the night before. My poached eggs were perfect! They make you whatever coffee you fancy from behind the bar. All in all a great place to stay if you're working in Torfaen.

Gorgeous Sunday Lunch. It's been recently given a fresh new look in the main area of the pub. Nice & bright & fresh. The food there is absolutely fantastic and a really good price. My partner & my friends partner had the roast beef. They said it was cooked to perfection, I've never seen my partner finish his plate but he did at this place. My friend and I had one of the vegetarian options - butternut squash with roasted vegetables, blue cheese & walnuts. It was superb! So tasty! With a good selection of roasties & trays of seasonal vegetables, Yorkshire pudding & Gravy. We were all stuffed! Beautiful location, great personal service. Good selection of beers and coffee too. Really nice way to spend our Sunday afternoon. Top marks to the owner & his staff. Thanks guys we will definitely be back for more! *****

Absolutely awful service and food. The rooms are cheap and you definitely get what you pay for. We were in room one and this is above the kitchen so until the kitchen closes and stops serving you have a really loud sound of the kitchen extractor sounding like a helicopter is outside the window. In the restaurant the food is cheap produce. I shared the platter starter which is just a deep fried delight with little flavour and extremely basic. For a main I had the roast duck. This was awful and more like Chinese crispy duck. I brought this to the wait staff attention to be told that it says it is roasted on the menu so they can’t do anything. I explained duck should be served medium rare to have to speak to the manager (also chef) to eventually be taken off the menu accompanied by awful attitude. This is not a place that can handle criticism well and definitely is not worth the money charged.

This was my first meal here, I was very disappointed with what I had ( pan fried pork chop ) the fat was not rendered down and not even crispy, both my wife and I ordered "hand cut" chips that appeared to be frozen ones. ( my wife had raved about the chips she had a few years ago ) my son was not happy with the steak he had and most was taken home for our dog. Total cost including drinks was over £100. Hosts attire was not very professional.

Booked a table for a large group. The table was booked well in advance so they were well aware we were coming. On arrival we noticed there was also another large party. Our food and drinks were extremely slow due to there only being two members of staff. The waitresses were very pleasant but having so many people to serve it was near impossible for them. With two large parties booked in as well as the regulars to serve there should have been a lot more staff. When the food finally arrived it was cold and looked like it had been sat waiting for a while before it arrived at the table. It was not a pleasant evening at all.

We went here for dinner on a Monday evening. This is definitely a local pub rather than a restaurant so expect the general buzz of a pub and sometimes the customer language that goes with a few drinks! Maybe given what has happened over the past year they seemed to be short-staffed and although the service was very friendly it was slow. We waited over a hour for main courses and that can be difficult if you're with young children that get hungry quickly! When it came though the food was good and the home-cooked pies are certainly recommended. They also run an early-bird menu, which is especially good-value.

We visited this pub/restaurant regularly before lockdown both for drinks and meals. This was our first visit in 18 months and we weren't disappointed. Staff were friendly and attentive, the food was absolutely delicious, good sized portions (loads of extra gravy), pudding was outstanding and they were kind enough to do a fruit salad for my ten month old son then put the leftovers in a box for him to bring home. (He gladly ate the rest for breakfast the next day). Everything about our visit was fantastic. The only suggestion I have is to bring the cutlery as soon as the order is taken. We had our meals with no cutlery and had to ask for it which was slightly frustrating but this is so minor I can't warrent removing a star for it. Otherwise everything was perfect.I highly recommend coming here and will be back myself many times into the future.

Traditional local pub with fascinating history of mining attached. Friendly staff. Comfortable and clean accomodation . Very interesting mock up of a mine in the middle of the bar ! Mining memorabilia everywhere. The food is hearty Welsh food . Large portions. Like great home cooking. I could not fault any of it. Consistently busy on a weekday is good testament also. The chicken and Bombay potatoes was different but really nice. The treacle pudding huge. Everything was good quality. I will be back.

We've always loved the Little Crown roasts but our first one after lockdown was somehow better than before.We went for the minted lamb shank and it was lovely, it just fell off the bone and has completely converted my friend who previously didn't like lamb. Very accomodating of extra dietary needs and willing to do as much as they can to give you exactly what you're wanting.Massive portions too, so much so that we could have one dinner between the two of us, which definitely isn't a bad thing.So glad we waited to have you back and can't wait until we're able to give you a proper visit!

Popped in here the other day with mum for a light lunch. Was greeted and served swiftly, The menus looked impressive so we ordered. Food came out quickly, but it wasn't amazing! The presentation looked fantastic but due to both being hungry, we ate it and didn't see much reason to make a fuss. Food was a let down to an otherwise lovely place
