The Station Hotel in Merthyr Tydfil

This place is full of drug users and the service is really poor. The manager is rude and needs a lesson in customer service. Avoid!

Lovely pub. Great for a pint break on a bike ride.

A nice quiet pub with pool and darts. Serves a wide range on draft

Beautiful wàlk over viaduct before very nice food in cozy pub

Great pint of Worthington, only myself in bar.Could be different over weekend .

Barman was very rude to me and my friends whilst we were here. Speaks to people with a disgusting attitude. However, the lady who works here is lovely and friendly.

Best atmosphere, rate it 10/10 and hygiene is immaculate . Look forward to my next visit and the bar man was very friendly

Great friendly service customer service next to none all covid restrictions followed only problem no outside shelter

Excellent pub, friendly welcome from all the staff. Their knowledge of the local area was fantastic and we were delighted to find such a fabulous watering hole after a beautiful meander through some of this area’s ancient industrial past. One special attraction was the book area where you could pick up a book by the fire and relax. We would definitely recommend and will visit again when in the area. Friends from Cardiff - look forward to seeing you again!

Pints, pool, daycent pub grug. What more do you need

Nice meal in a warm pub after being chilled out on the mountains. Gammon and chips top notch. Too many peas for me but no complaints ! Draught Guinness to wash it down. Very nice.

Lots of choice on the menu with quite a few different things as well as pub standards, good service from friendly staff, very tasty food.

Popped in for a bite to eat whilst walking the Taff Trail. Lovely omelette and toastie. Like a little cosy country pub inside!

Not as expected. No real ale. No log fire.

Stopped off for a much needed drink on a very hot day, nice patio out back. Staff friendly and helpful, will be returning to this place next time we are in the area

We came here looking for some proper pies and were not disappointed. The pies are delicious, the portions are large, the atmosphere is cosy. Nice place to have lunch and get ready for a walk

Were staying at a guest house close by and saw the reviews in TripAdvisor. Quirky pub with lots of character. Landlord very accommodating. There was a birthday party there too but we got in just before they ordered. Enjoyed my pie

Warm friendly atmosphere, good selection of beers

It's my local 🚵👫👭👯💃👨‍👨‍👦‍👦👩‍👩‍👦🐶🐱

Great welcome from friendly staff as soon as we arrived. Lots of choices for the starters, mains and desserts and a homemade Pie Menu too. Buckingham pie was delicious and would thoroughly recommend as were spring rolls. Each dish was well presented and excellent portion sizes. Steaks were tasty but a bit over cooked for ‘ rare’ and some of the veg were a little too al dente but this didn’t in anyway reflect on the enjoyment we had. Definitely going to call in again, probably try a lunchtime treat out or event out with friends

The staff here were lovely. We had a vegan pie and it was delicious but the vegetables with it weren’t very nice.

If you are having a leisurely cycle from Brecon to Cardiff you will arrive in time for lunch Great pies, great beer, great staff Second time here when cycling the Taff Trail. I’m sure there will be more

Wow what a find while visiting family back in Wales. I had the most amazing Lamb Pie with chips. Staff very helpful and friendly and so are the regulars. Welsh Valley hospitality at its best. Cymru am Byth

Wonderful Fisherman's pie meal Staff really friendly and lovely atmosphere. We'll be back. X

Lovely welcome and landlady was really nice and so accommodating. Food ok, but barmaid over charged is all and floors stcicky.

We went for a Evening meal as we seen the pub had good rating. We where not disappointed the staff very friendly and the was food was lovely. There few homemade pies on offer which my husband had and I had homemade curry. Both where really tasted. The staff where very helpfully.

Visited the Station Hotel with a group of friends after running up Pen y Fan on a cold, wet and windy March evening! Warmed up with a nice pint and a homemade pie and chips - what more could you want. Highly recommended :)

Visited after a run up Pen-y-Fan. Very friendly and helpful staff who could not do enough for us. Prompt service and lovely food. Can highly recommend the pies!

Visited with a group of friends and had excellent meal from friendly staff. Good menu selection served promptly.

The steak pie was ok, but the pub not cosy.

Excellent place warm welcome awaits you,dog friendly and very friendly staff,and the food was excellent will visit again

Good honest pub food, friendly staff and a pub pool table that runs true.

New management have obviously changed staff as after a snowy walk to Pen Y Fan we stopped off and were warmly welcomed with our dog into the bar area. Local staff drinking and visitors dining nearby. It’s right about the menu, a bit average sounding, and after another review on ggl mentioned the specials/pie menu... wow! Really nice meal! Pie was great! Chips were plentiful and they even gave us on-house sausages for our dog! Thatchers cider was a refreshing necessity but the only downside was there wasn’t a large real ale supply... would be great to see this pub on CAMRA ;)

Not happy with the service. Not welcoming or friendly.

I'm giving 5 stars now because neil issitts been banned

Good beer, basic seating, friendly welcome.

Jillian was a warm, welcoming host, and has a flair for seasonal decorations (super Halloween decor when we were there!). We ate here several nights in a row, and were pleased with the food every time. Good pub fare and good beer. Interesting and fun conversations with the regulars, too.

After parking by the hotel and walking from Cefn-coed viaduct to historic church we (6 of us) stopped off for a snack and a drink. Settled down in the pleasant lounge room for a superb cheese and onion 'toasty' and fab Czechoslovakian beer (zero chemical lager). Other in party had various sandwiches and all agreed the quality was above standard. Publican very helpful and we shall make a point to frequent again.

Great place to get a taste of the Welsh hospitality. Local community grabs a bite there. Had a very enjoyable evening due to the warm conversation with the locals and great food.

This is the third year that I have visited whilst walking in the Brecon Beacons. This is a local business with very friendly staff and regulars. Highly recommended if you are looking to do Pen y Fan or go mountain biking. A good selection of beers and some lovely food too. See you next year!

This is a very welcoming pub with a fantastic range of food at reasonable prices. We called in for lunch on a very rainy Saturday. They had a wide selection of vegetarian food as well as an extensive meat menu. There were lots of interesting pies on the specials board too. Both our meals were delicious (one steak and mushroom pie, one chickpea and peppers pie.) We will certainly be visiting again.

Nice quiet Sunday lunch. Pleasant staff. Food good value for the price.

We were given a warm welcome by the lady but the landlord wasn't really interested. The pie my husband had was grim and he hardly ate any of it. I had chicken curry which I did not enjoy. Ploughmans was on the menu but when I chose it I was told you couldn't have it in the evening. Not sure why it wasn't on the lunch menu then!!! Place was tatty and not all that clean. Wouldn't go there again.

Great food friendly service. Called in for lunch with the missus and disabled mother, had warm greeting great food and very reasonable prices Well done all.

Called in for lunch with the missus and disabled mother.. Very warm greeting on arrival. Very pleasant and friendly hosts and staff good variety of foods.

Great pub, especially if you like pies.

Lovely dog friendly pub staff were lovely and accommodating had steak pie and chips which was very nice even tho we were outside the normal menu times the landlord sorted 2 lovely meals for us nice end to a birthday day would go back again

This is one of those special, secret places the locals don't tell you about. Ignore the main menu. Pick a delicious pie from the specials board. I had a steak pie filled with rich gravey and a perfectly-poured pint of cider on a quiet Sunday. At least four or five amazingly good and varied vegetarian options; my wife had a three-cheese, potato and mushroom pie served with peas and a generous portion of well-prepared, "proper" chips.

Land lord is probably one of the best in the town as very meticulous on everything in the pub.

Me and my uncle stopped by after a days walking at pen y fan and were very welcomed by the bar staff. They were friendly and offered recommendations on the food and seemed genuinely interested in where we were from and what we had done. Would definitely return and recommend here to anyone. The home made pies are a must!!

We arrived exhausted and sticky from our long cycle ride, hungry and in need of large glasses of water on this hottest of days. We got what we needed and ordered pies, which were very tasty, with interesting combinations of ingredients, eg chicken and ham (rather than usual mushroom) and the beef pie ("Haymaker") had spinach and other additions. We chatted with the owners, and were looked after really well, including someone keeping an eye on our bikes.

Home made pies are excellent. Plenty of filling topped with a loose layer of puff pastry.We sampled the mince beef and Stilton, and chicken and ham. Will definitely return to try other pies on the menu Recommended!!

We ordered the vegetarian mains and were really disappointed in the standard of food. It was very basic to say the least. The Glamorgan sausages were inedible they tasted so bad.

I turned up on a cold April day by bike, 70km into a long ride up hills and joining the Taff Trail, and unable to find anywhere to eat mid-afternoon (bathrooms were pretty sparse on the route too!). The Station Hotel was warm, friendly, helpful, the food was good and it pretty much saved my day! The staff were actively kind to me, and I really appreciated it.

Just come to Wales for a couple of days and come to the station hotel and had two delicious meals. This place is very friendly and we will definitely be back. We highly recommend this place.

Thank you for a great evening of football, beer, pool, pies and fun. Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Thanks to all the great staff for being so welcoming and friendly.

We travelled to Wales for two days riding at Bike Park Wales. We received a warm welcome when we visited the Station Inn on a Thursday night. The food was very good, my friend had a three cheese vegetarian option and I went for the cow pie. The staff were very helpful and brought fresh drinks to the table. A good pub, with a friendly atmosphere.

Nice enough place, friendly staff, good pub food with nice specials. Would visit again. Great for some pub food after a walk.

The food was good, the pies delicious if a trifle salty. Beer good and good value. Great value, and friendly.

Perfect place to stop for lunch after a hard morning’s cycling. Steak and Stilton pie was delicious and thoroughly enjoyed spending an hour or two enjoying a proper pub lunch!

Went there for lunch sat afternoon place fairy quiet but good menu Had the best Coronation chicken toasty and my wife had ham,cheese,onion toasty good price would recommend

Everytime i go there I get a warm welcome and feel like part of the family and never wanna leave there.

Was with Mildys last weekend, and totally agree with his comments. An excellent spot to take a break from walking and camping! Excellent welcome, great beer, and food. Thoroughly recommended.

Seven of us visited on both Friday and Saturday nights to enjoy good beer,hospitality and home cooked food.

Had a lovely rest here whilst on a cycle tour with friends, staff from the pub were very welcoming and we had lovely meals.

Second visit to the unassuming pub which serves locals but is equally welcoming to visitors. The Station Hotel was on my radar as soon as we arrived in Merthyr and I was not disappointed having been looked after so well by the landlady and her staff. Their website stateed they were famous for their homemade pies and having had the Lamb pie I have no doubt about this claim. Outstanding quality, great service and friendly staff. Don’t leave Merthyr without visiting, you’ll be glad you did.

It has a great communal and welcoming feeling, I only ate there but the food was reasonably priced and tasted great! it's a lovely, welcoming and warm pub to visit and everybody is very friendly.

Went there very small really more for drinking and small bar menu.

Friendly . Good beer. Food could be better.

Best place for Entertainment and Meals in Cefn.

Great pies and beer whilst on a road in wales. Pies change every day but the chicken and trout ones which reappear regurarly tend to be the favourites.

Best pies in the land at this boozer. The choice is staggering, the portions generous, and the taste out of this world. The landlord/lady are charming, and have two lovely boys who add to the fun, family atmosphere. The locals are friendly - a few visits here and I felt i'd know them for years. if you're passing through, or even if you're not - YOU MUST COME HERE!

The food was so bad, that I can't even give one star. The rice was soggy and the curry slimy. Total rip off for £10. Never again.

Hats off to the team at The Station Hotel! The pies are the thing to enjoy at this friendly pub as tasty as the views from the nearby viaduct are breathtaking. With a repertoire of a staggering 200 pie recipes its going to take me ages to tell you what I think of them all, but the Pheasant pie was terrific yesterday lunchtime!

Whenever I'm back in Merthyr I always visit the Station Hotel - has great beer, great pies and a really welcoming atmosphere

Stopped off here after going for a walk with the dog and glad we did. The home made gypsy pie (steak, onion, garlic and leek) which I ordered was absolutely delicious along with the chips. The pint of Budvar topped everything off. Dog friendly which is a major bonus. Will definitely be visiting again.

Food took a while to be prepared but was very nice.

Great hospitality! Surprised I fit all 18oz of meat in my hunger hole! Amazing!

Warm friendly pub, serves up a lovely pie!

We came across the Station while staying at llwyn onn, we loved the pies and there was a good selection of ales available would definitely recommend, very friendly and helpful staff.

just wanted light dinner after day in the hills.. but the choice of homemade pies look great.

Desgusting attitude towards little kids stopped my little 19 month old baby eating her sweets witch i find absolutely terrible and desgusting shes a baby

I came for lunch looking for somwhere quiet for a beer and some food. Ordered the burger £8.50 and paid an extra pound for bacon and cheese and it was well worth it! Proper bacon from local butchers and lovely mature cheddar melted nicely under the burger. A huge portion of chips on the side aswell. Out of a selection of ales i opted for the Dragons Heart from a nearby brewery in Pont - y - Pridd, only 2 quid a pint aswell!! And its gorgeous! Highly reccommend this place, great atmosphere and nice outdoor eating area.

Found this pub by accident whilst looking for the old railway viaduct. Stopped for a pint and Sandwich, beer was great and baguette was maga! Staff were most friendly. Viaduct was but a few yards away so very lucky find. Heartily recommend

Worm welcom from the landlord and his wife. Good selection of home made pies, Can recommend the venison pie, we both enjoyed it. Pub is dog friendly.

Got to say popped in for a bite to eat with my mother and farther dad is in wheel chair and oxygen he walked to the pub from car park which is a few steps away I ordered gammon which was cooked perfectly my mum had the curry witch was popping hot dad had the stake pie which was tasty being a chef it was a pleasant visit and would be back if passing again well worth it thank you only one criticism we was not checked back but u now the answer any way verry nice

Had a dinner here with my partner and friends, Food was great, nice quiet pub and friendly staff, will go again :)

We called there after reading reviews on Tripadvisor & was not disappointed. The food was fantastic & fresh produce used. The staff were very welcoming & also very reasonable on price. Give it a try you wont be disappointed.

today was our 3rd or 4th visit and it was great,as usual. booked a table for 12 adults, and 2 noisy kids, for mothers day lunch.

Went recently for a family and friends get together , had the 3 of us had the quorn pie and unfortunately we all sent it back as it was awful . When asked for a change there was no apology and found a member of staff was quite dismissive of the situation and just pointed to the vegetarian options rather than engage with us . How ever once the replacement meal had arrive brocoli and fennel pie it was lovely . Probably wouldn't go back.

Homely atmosphere. Good food . Great Saturday night artist fortnightly.

Came here with a group of thirty, and oh man...the staff were amazing, the food was absolutely brilliant, ten out of ten to them for managing such a huge group, and still smiling. I'm vegetarian and often it's hard to find something decent to eat places but...here? So many veggie options! I had the cornish veggie pie and it was absolutely brilliant. So, so tasty! Highly highly recommended.

Very nice friendly pub and staff!

went here after reading good reviews had sunday lunch was ok nothing write home about wouldn't return

Friendly landlords and polite bar staff .. good homely pub

I was looking for a pub to have something to eat and a beer for the evening.

definitely the best home make pies, not only in town, but possibly the UK. Several homemade recipes from excellent meats, packed full into each puff pastry topped delight, but also an amazing choice of Veggie pies!! My vegetarian wife usually has the choice of the veggie lasagna or nut roast, however at the Station, there were 6 beautiful home made recipes to chose from. Great pub, great food, clean and tidy, cannot fault the Station, keep cooking those lovely pies!!!

Great food and good portions, recommended!

Me and friends visiting the station hotel for a drink on a weekend the staff was very welcoming and it's a lovely place we enjoyed our visit to this place the menu looked very nice along side the home made pies we will certainly be visiting again

My boyfriend and I had just come from walking Pen y Fan so we were trying to find somewhere to eat which was dog friendly and we noticed The Station Hotel on google. Came into the pub with a warm welcome from the staff and they even said hello to the dogs which was really nice! The dogs were fidgety and ended up spilling a pint over themselves and all over the floor! I felt awful but they we happy enough to clean the mess for us while I held my head in shame!
