The Pantyscallog Inn in Merthyr Tydfil

Absolutely outstanding can't wait to go again

Food was absolutely shocking and enemic looking. Service was ok but definitely didn't feel welcome.

Fabulous food and the staff are lovely, nothing is too much trouble for them. We will back again soon, although we live in the Rhondda Valley it is well worth the drive. Make sure you are hungary before you go as portions are huge

This has to be the best place we have eaten at, there is so much food on your plate. I wouldn't be surprised if you had to take at least half of it home with you. Plus the value for money is great the staff are always polite and smiling and happy to serve you.

Everthing here was amazing the food was amazing and kept us company when we stayed there for our food and the wait was very short and I was very happy about this I hope to come again thanks for my lovley stay for lunch tonight x.

I can honestly say this is by far the best pub I have been in for food. The portions are big. The prices are fantastic but this does not effect the very high quality of the food and taste. The lasagne is amazing. The steak is top quality. The gammon is the best I've had. It is exceptionally clean, Modern classic pub. I could list every item on the menu and not find a fault with it. The hamburger is better then HILLS by far. The staff are great and friendly. I would happily go every night of the week and twice on Sunday for a roast dinner if they did one. If you want an excellent high quality big portion pub grub including T-bone steaks then go here. This is an honest independent review and I have no loyalty nor affiliation with the pub. Its just that good. The pub is cash only which means you have to visit a cash machine first or use the one opposite the pub. But that's no hardship really and cash is king as the saying goes. Its kind of old school for a classic, stunning pub.

The place has been totally transformed from the last time I been

Great value for money. Well worth a visit . Pictures are lasagne, mixed grill, hunters chicken, gammon steak, pork chops and a childs meal. Most of the meals were under £20 and cooked to perfection

Great food, massive portion sizes and good prices. Tip of the day, don't eat before you go there! 😉

Friendly polite staff. Very generous portions, steak was cooked perfectly for our liking.what we could eat we were given tubs so we could take it home

Booked for a party of 32 people for my daughter’s 18th birthday party. Food was mediocre at best and the young bar staff and waitresses don’t know the meaning of politeness and hospitality. They were so miserable and rude and clearly there just to get their shift done and go home. A smile and a please and thank you wouldn’t go a miss! The steaks were just ok but the pork chops were tough as old boots and garnished with chillies! Not advertised anywhere on the menu as being garnished with chillies! Certainly not nice for some party members that don’t like spicy food. We brought a birthday cake for my daughter that cost £90 so all our family could have a slice of cake after their meal to celebrate her special day only to be told by staff that they would not accommodate us what so ever as they didn’t know where the cake came from so we were not given a knife to slice the cake, or plates or serviettes and they were very rude when questioned. If we knew this was their policy before we arrived then we would have booked somewhere else. In a day and age where the restaurant and pub trade is struggling you would think the Pantyscallog would be more accommodating and more grateful for our custom. After having a word with the manager she did throw down a few paper napkins for us to use but they were given reluctantly and with attitude. I believe that the manager and staff have really let themselves down on this occasion as we will no longer be using the establishment for any future celebrations and we will discourage anyone that is thinking of celebrating any type of occasion here and will be better off elsewhere. If the manager is reading this then I ask you, was it really worth losing hundreds or thousands of pounds worth of business over a fricking cake? Give yourself a tap on the back love.

Curry was more tomato than curry. Portions too large

Really fancied visiting this place and taking my son for a birthday meal, i checked the website to see if a booking was required and found nothing on there so I then tried to call them but no answer. So When I arrived at 17:00 travelling 20 miles thinking all was good I was then asked if I had a booking, which I replied how do I do that as there is no way of booking on your website. I was very peeved off but luckily received a better service in the Railway in Nelson where I was seated So no apologies or information on how to book in future and your reply our number is everywhere? obviously not. A local pub for locals good luck.

Food was very delicious, with the portions significantly larger than what you'd expect for the price paid for the meals. I had the mixed grill and asked for the steak to be cooked rare, and it was perfectly done.

Went there for valentine's day with my fiancé. It was lovely service and quick. Staff very friendly. Cash only. ATM is opposite the pub.

Amazing Sunday lunches with everything on the plate ,large portions too . Service is brilliant ,food always fantastic here

This restaurant is outstanding. The steak was cooked to perfection. No starters but you couldn't eat 3 courses. Menu is limited because what they actually do serve is beautiful and cooked fresh. Parking is a little limited but was OK. Very reasonable prices

Cannot recommend the tomahawk steak enough. Probably one of the best steaks I have had in a long time. On par with Miller & Carter and other various steak houses.

Excellent restaurant, with huge portions. Friendly service. Would recommend.

What a Fantastic place lived up to all the hype food was excellent massive portions friendly staff and great service booked in for family of 10 and it was right up there best I've ever been to will be visiting again soon thanks Alison 👍👍

The food was great and very filling! Huge portions at a reasonable price.

Lovely food & well worth a trip .. steak was more well done than medium rare but I would definitely return and try again .. the steak was a bit overdone for me but still tasted delicious

13 of us visited last Saturday, we ordered steak, fish, lasagne, gammon and various burgers. Everything was cooked to perfection, the homemade onion rings were huge and the service came with a smile! Go with an appetite because the portions are huge!! We will definitely be back soon xx

3 of us called after seeing the photos on Trip Advisor. 3 Steaks cooked to perfection! All the other tables around us looked like they had fantastic meals!!!!

Hunters chicken absolutely delish. Sian and all her staff are the most lovely friendly giving people that you could ever meet. SIAN made Jason and Mines wedding day
