Had an evening meal here the other night. It was very busy and the place was packed but we got a nice table and a lovely lady served us. The food was very reasonable price and wow the plates were massive. Only Begay was the women behind the bar was a bit rude! A please or thank you wouldn’t go amiss.

Found this pub to be very dated in need of a good makeover very musty and tired looking, however the food was extremely nice very good value for money staff or pleasant enough.

This is an honest review. The pub was very tired old and dated. The staff were very busy but they could’ve been a little bit more welcoming. I was standing at the bar for quite awhile before someone acknowledged me. The food is very nice and very Reasonably priced and plenty of it. Overall places quite rundown staff need to smile a bit more but the food was very nice and the price was very nice

We had a fabulous meal here yesterday the staff were lovely and the food was stunning and wow, what a price. Extremely reasonable definitely will be visiting again while we’re in South Wales this next two weeks. I just wish the lady who served us behind the bars a little bit more helpful.

My family visited the pub for dinner in the summer holiday. We had Welsh chicken and beef curries, a chicken bugger and cheese cake. The foods are very good and the amount is very generous. Staff are so friendly, so we feel warm welcome. We will definitely come back next time!

So, it was peeing with rain & we went into Saltwater Inn. Owner says, you can only have a drink out (in the rain) as we are full serving food. Aye right ! Quick check on google and we try the Royal Oak. Absolute gem of a pub. Real ale & cider on tap, locals welcoming and had a great chit chat surrounded by Welsh rugby jerseys. Every cloud as it says….

Great menu with loads of choice. Very cheap and the food was excellent, there are home cooked options on the menu too. I had the homemade Corned Beef pie with boiled potatoes and gravy, which was delicious. My mate had the curry half and half, which was also delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the pub had a good local feel to it. Have eaten here once before and will definitely return again.

On holiday for week and pub was recommended by locals. Went in for lunch on thursday and was so pleased with food and service went back for lunch on Friday, wish had found it earlier in the week. Food was excellent and really good value for money. Not the biggest pub and limited on space, staff very helpful and we was made to feel welcome and fitted us in easily on both occasions but only 2 of us, for larger group would advise to book in advance. Steak was superb and really good proper chips.

The elderly lady at the front of house must practice how to be awkward and nearly rude to customers on a daily basis, having had my 2nd pint poured into the same glass and asking for a small house red the answer was you can’t it only comes in one size ? And then a small bottle was thrust onto the counter. We had booked a meal and with a less than half full (week day) pub was told that we can’t sit there twice - very baffling- unfortunately they take your money first before you eat otherwise I would have left. All of the other staff was friendly and the chef / cooks served a good pub grub- would I go back - definitely not whilst that woman is running the show, she needs to grow up and get a life.

The food was great value for money. We went for lunch and had the All-Day Breakfast, which was exceptional for the price. Then we booked a table for the evening. Again, the food was exceptional for the price. The only negatives were the cramped spacing and paying at the bar on ordering. The service was very quick and very attentive.

Good location, and an enjoyable pint of Woosh bitter. The downsides were the music being too loud, with bar staff unable to turn it down, so conversation was difficult. Also, the smell of stale chip fat together with other unpleased odours mean that we are unlikely to return, any time soon.

Now as you know I'm a fussy eater, and a ble steak lover, we visited today I ordered the 16oz rum steak blue, I was expecting the usual thick steak not cooked very well, boy its amazing, I never eat the sides but even that was out of this world, the steak was either thinly cut to size or bashed out to size but it filled the plate and from start to finish was cooked perfectly, this is a diamond of a place to find and eat at, if you don't give this place a try you are missing out on fine dining on a budget, in these costly times it's affordable top end food, give it a go you won't be dissapointed I give it 10 out of 10

Lunch time is less busy but if you want to go for dinner reserve a table in advance. As it's so packed. Steak will keep me coming back no doubt about it.

Very poor. Sunday lunch swimming in gravy to hide the fact the meat is probably deli meat. Couldn’t even find mine- veggies absolutely destroyed as well. Scores on the door 3 and flies in the dining room too- in October. It was so busy in there that we had high expectations but definitely disappointing. The only things that’s great about the place was the serving staff who were hard working and very welcoming. The only highlight of our visit.

Visited during Elvis Festival 2022. We had booked a table for food (necessary) - pub was incredibly busy but all staff very cheerful & helpful; regularly reminding punters there was a second bar through the restaurant AND a cash bar outside & BBQ serving food near tent in car park. Although a kind of one-way system had to be maintained, most people followed this easily and efficiently without additional help. Wheelchair access was available. Food excellent & arrived very quickly. Some problems with the EFTPOS card m/c. No WiFi in pub.
