Tirfounder Fields Brewers Fayre in Rhondda Cynon Taf - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food was good and didn't have to wait long for our meal and nice and clean

Brought my kids for food and indoor play because the weather been unpredictable Great food great staff great service We really enjoyed our visit

Here for a family meal, had booked so table had been reserved. Burger was very dry, bland and no taste, coleslaw served on the side was dry with no mayo, just shredded carrot, cabbage and onion, portions were too small. The carvery was awful, the mash had lumps in it, couldn't tell the difference between the mash and cauliflower cheese to look at, carrots were tinned, roast potatoes were frozen and then deep fried. The smothered chicken was tasteless and the meat was overcooked. The steak was very small, overcooked and the peppercorn sauce was about 2 teaspoons full served in a tiny little jug.The food was all disgusting.The chairs were very very dirty with food and drink tipped on them. Sat down and then felt myself wet, the chair was soaking wet where drink had been tipped earlier in the day and the chair had just been pushed back under the table for the next diner, the chair next to it had dried on food on it, another chair had no padding where the material was ripped and the padding had come away, another chair had wrappers from the lollipops sold in the machines stuck to it. The whole restaurant needs to be closed for a good clean and chairs need to be replaced with leatherette or vinyl that can be easily wiped over, when food or drink is tipped. Will never eat here again.

Restaurant is a little dated, but food came quickly and was enjoyable would recommend to a friend.

Food was clearly microwaved cold in the centre like lava on outside, toilets are filthy and 2 of them were out of order. Staff can't be bothered. Was told we couldn't order dessert becoz children play area closed at 7 and we needed to sit where we could keep an eye on our 2 year old playing... bearing in mind it wasn't near 7 they just couldn't be bothered sending someone to clean up our table as we were only ones sat in that area so dessert was denied to us. Overall generally a sticky mess of a place to eat at with awful customer service.

Cosy place but poor food quality

Sunday lunch is great here carvery has a good selection.

Friendly helpful staff, nice food, nice atmosphere. Not too busy. The Sunday carvery is very nice with a choice of 3 meats and served your self vegetables and gravy.

Staff couldn't do enough to help, food was fantastic. Had a great meal served hot and quickly, no hanging around. Definitely recommend and will go back

Went here Saturday following a stay in the Premier Inn. Food was out in less than 10 mins of ordering, clearly microwaved and not freshly cooked. Burger was burnt and hard at the edges. Returned this, waiter just stared at us, no apology, didn't check afterwards to see if it was better. Not worth the money paid. Poor service. Bar staff were polite and friendly but last orders were 9.30pm Friday and Saturday and Sunday was 8.30pm. Would recommend KFC across the road!

Very busy pub. Cheap food. Great area for children.

Won’t be going there again as my husband ordered a soup for starters and had only 4 spoons of the soup it was only quarter full in the bowl , and then we ordered the main which I ordered the sharing plater from the starters as a mains and the mayo that came with it was all curdled we also had unlimited drinks and they were so week it was like drinking watered down pop

Bored staff. Filthy and sticky fabric on chairs. Table varnish has worn in plenty of tables. The guttering is leaking and water pours on the windows whilst raining.

Beautiful cocktails 2 for 10. Excellent value meals. Lovely staff xx

Stood at the empty bar for several minutes waiting to order before a staff member decided to appear. The garlic bread on a sharing platter was burnt. Mains were really bad! My gammon was small, tough & majorly overcooked, eggs were solid & no tomato as advertised on the menu. I only ate one mouthful of the whole meal, it was awful. My husband's steak pie was hard & dry. The chairs were really dirty & no soap in the disabled toilet or the ladies. We'll not be going back.

Main meals were fine, nothing spectacular but nothing wrong with them either. The garlic cheesy bread side was rubbish though, not much garlic to it, and only 2 slices, for £4.19. Rip off. Service wasn't great either, lady serving us looked like she didn't want to be there.

Had a lovely meal here recently, excellent quality and service, would thoroughly recommend

Great place for families, the children I was with had loads of fun in the children's play area

Good food reasonably priced would come again.

Went today for food with two children, no room in the play area, ok understand it’s Easter holidays, but then to be seated at a pre booked table in an extremely overcrowded room, with not enough room to pull your chair out, had to pick the high chair up over peoples heads to get it in, and even then couldn’t pull the high chair into the table. Extremely uncomfortable, when I said there wasn’t enough room the member of staff offered us a different table but could only sit there for 20, mins then would have to move, then she walked off. Asked for sauce when our bare plate of food arrived .. it never came. Really disappointed by our visit.

Not the best this time slow service mens toilet out of action the other mens toilets flooded as one of the taps was loose Also the grabber machine was out of action apparently NO SIGNS saying this as my grand son put money in the machine and was not working had to see three members staff for help and then told to leave my name address and they would get back to me I work in retail would been better to take some money out of petty cash??? Might not be back for some time

Went today for a late Mothers day meal as it was Good Friday there are no offers which is fine if you have a decent suze portion so was totally not worth the money we spent I also ordered curry for my daughter they didn't tell us that they had no rice so just persummed that she would want chips instead. My daughter ate the curry but left the chips. I ordered the Gammon which was swimming on the plate when I said to my husband look at all this as I was soaking it up with a serviette a female member of staff heard me and said that's just the juices from the other meats that are cooked through out the day. My stomach can't take this and has given me an upset stomach. Very disappointed with all our foods bought 5 meals in total and not one was worth it. Sorry for bad review but as I said very disappointing experience this time.

Rude waiting staff, slow service, no warm drinks available, poor quality food and waited over half an hour for a child’s desert.

Better labelling on offers suits not misleading. Ask for sauce waiting 10mins and began to eat my meal as it was going cold and didn't think it was coming, arrived when I had almost finished. Waited 40mins for children's dessert ( already paid for!) and gave up leaving with upset children. It was extremely quiet at the time, would understand if it was busy. No hot drinks available according to staff member at the till, that's ridiculous.

Awful over priced food, luke warm mashed potatoes which had set like concrete, peas hard and cold, no idea what they did to the chips, but again lukewarm and soggy, a cheese pizza that did not taste like cheese. Mediocre service, no interest whatsoever from the staff, grubby outdated exterior and interior , play area very grubby. Would not recommend. A couple of hours after eating there I had a nasty bout of food poisoning, never going there again!!!!

Love the Sunday roast Variety of potatoes and veg to choose from

We ordered two meals, and the price was excellent, it only cost £11.49 for the two. I had the spicy chicken burger and chips, which was very nice. The service was good and the food didn't take long to come to the table.

Went in today for some food with a friend and her daughter. Our food came out with cold chips and the child’s pasta was cold with absolutely no taste to it. They also did not bring out the child’s garlic bread with the pasta which we had paid for. When we mentioned that the pasta was cold and that the garlic bread had not been served we were offered a refund for the child’s food. My friend had paid extra for a dessert so just asked for a refund for the garlic bread and pasta and asked if the desert could still be brought out. It took over half an hour and also a reminder from myself to one of the staff in order for the desert to be brought out. We were then told that we would need to go to the till for the refund which we did as we were leaving. The manager came up to my friend and didn’t acknowledge her apart from to say very rudely cash or card refund. My friend then replied saying card please. The manager proceeded to do the refund without so much as an apology for the terrible service that we had received. Would definitely not recommend. Besides the poor service, poor food and rude staff member, the place looks like it needs a good clean and the menus need a wipe over as they were covered in food.

Food is sub par but not bad atmosphere

Great food rump steak was lovely 😍

Came for breakfast before taking my daughter to school and the breakfast was well presented and hot. Service was good and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

Excellent service, great food and very friendly staff! Will definitely return

Visited Aberdare Brewster for a family birthday meal this evening , service was very quick! And table service was awesome! Nothing was too much!! Young gent serving the party table 2,5,6 area was very kind, thank you.

Food was absolutely terrible. Booked for valentines - in advance. The main meal on the menu wasn't even available. We had to have a bog standard steak meal. Steak was not even cooked to liking. The starter came with the main also. We also had to request for my partners starter which was left sitting in the kitchen. There was just no need for it. We mentioned could we have our starter and main seperated and then dessert after our meal. They took this to the extreme by spitefully not bringing our desert at all! As we went to leave (with overcooked steak and a starter that became a side with the main) one of the servers came after us and said "sorry for the wait, but we don't have the desert you requested" it was really a joke from beginning to end. Half the stuff on the menu wasn't there. Normally would never ever request for a refund. But in this instance we did. The manager was so rude and said we could have a refund for the dessert only. Even though we didn't even get the meal we asked AND paid for. So not only did we have the correct meal but we're robbed too! The manager also spent her time shouting at other customers in the morning also. Her attitude is absolutely appalling, it's such a shame because this reflects on the other members of staff that work there. Her attitude ruins the atmosphere there. It costs nothing to be nice curtiois and understanding for your customers. To the staff that have been nice I feel very bad because some try so hard. But yeah food always out of something same as cocktails. I think it's made for people not to notice because the hotel is next door, I think if things like that happen as a one off people don't mind. When you come from the hotel next door and then you leave the same day you just over look missing ingredients and so on. But me and my partner where there nearly every day and you start to notice the cracks. The special menus are a lie. Anything that looks complex on the menu they will not have the ingredients for. They get away with it though. But that's being crooks lying about a menu. I will be making a formal complaint. You totally ruined our first valentines together. The manager should be sacked for her attitude. There are some other things I could write but I really don't want to be as rude as the manager was. Shame on you for such an establishment. I have also made sure to share my experience with anyone who will listen. Hope you get closed down. Will also be going to food standards

Always come here regular for lunch food is a good price and staff friendly.

Had the carvery was extremely busy but food was hot and plenty available, will definitely be returning.

We went for breakfast , ordered at table , cups and crockery arrived by the time we had had filled our unlimited tea/coffee breakfast arrived super quick , staff were lovely prices are always good and breakfast was great ,

Caroline at Aberdare was very tentative, nothing was too much trouble. Lovely meal, really enjoyed.

Lovely food a bit disappointing to have to pay 4.50 on top for the kids to use soft play, especially with the cost of meals. Becomes an expensive trip but lovely food and service.

Food was cold , given no cutlery or condiments. Burger was overcooked.if they can't get a burger and chips right it doesn't say a lot for the place .

Had a nice steak cooked exactly as ordered. It's a brewers fayre so you know what to expect from the menu. It was early Friday evening so we easily got a table in the bar.

Lovely much needed meal today, great quick service, plenty of choice, served hot and good value.

Food was expected for the price, standard pub grub and no complaints. Food came out fast and the waitress was pleasant. Only complaint I have is the play area is extremely worn and incredibly dirty and dusty, as children were playing above there was large clumps of dust falling down into the toddler area and my baby was trying to grab it to put in her mouth, the amount of dust made it look like it hadn't been cleaned in years.

27th Jan Had a a lovely meal today in Brewers Fayre Aberdare we go about twice a week the food is great and reasonable, and all the staff are lovely and welcoming Well done Tirfounder Fields

Mixed reviews on here but having gone pleasantly suprised had 2 meals just 11.49 food was quick does need a refurb though.

What a nasty place Dirty floors ,sticky tables Bar staff needs to go bk to school I had a basic fish pie Obviously microwaved and it comes with peas or should I say raw bullets Absolutely terrible food and for £13 it's a disgrace Also ordered the smothered chicken Well the coleslaw nearly bust her teeth the chips well what the coleslaw didn't get these finished them off Terrible experience, terrible food keep clear to avoid disappointment

Always eat here regularly food is reasonably priced and a good selection pub faves on menu.

Dreadfull. To start, not that I drink coke but I imagine lots do as there is a refillable option, only there is no gas, so you can only have flat coke. Food, fries cold at best and greasy, cheesy garlic bread-I think warmed in microwave-not cooked, onion rings -greasy, peas not cooked, egg-loose white and gammon salty. Not bad 6 out of 6. Why didn’t I return food, lady serving looking like she had received some bad news just before coming to work, didn’t look happy at all. You can see why it’s cheap to eat here, you can’t eat it. On the plus side, not a bad pint of strong bow. If you need toilet do not venture in to the gents, wait until you get home. Place is so tired and run down, Somewhere I don’t think I will ever return. Very quiet there, understand why now

Great for kids lovely play Area. Recomended..

Food not to bad, chips could have been warmer seating badly stained

Only one complaint. We hadn't finished our starter's and they brought our main meal. The offered to take them back but we chose to keep them.

Tirfounders field is great if you have kids who need to be entertained due to the on-site soft play. The food is varied with breakfast being a winner. As for the standard menu it has varied on each visit.

We drove from Portsmouth to have a birthday with our dad and it was dirty, under staffed and took half an hour just to get a drink and the food was just embarrassing for the prices they charge, also half of the kids menu wasn't even available.... Absolute shambles

Really nice meal,good menu good prices very comfortable surrounds.

Food Stone cold, Chicken Rock hard, Waited over an hour for dessert.

Went there for breakfast after staying overnight in the adjacent Premier Inn. They've changed to buffet breakfast at weekends and don't feel it worked too well. There were the usual food options but we must have gone in at the wrong time. Some items had almost run out and the food was luke warm. Not impressed.

Recently went for breakfast the staff were lovely and the food decent except the sausages that could be made by Kellogg's there's that much cereal in them. They are advertised as premium sausages? They really are not.

Went at quiet time food and staff lovely but seats, carpets and tables looking tired/chipped etc hence 3 stars we enjoyed the food.

I don't know why I go back there, but every time the food is cold, the chicken I had was a dry, thin piece of yuk. I'm definitely not going back again.

excellent service, great food reasonably priced, staff are always polite and helpful.

Visit here Thursday with out children and friends, food was lovely really enjoyed didn't wait long staff were polite and helpful, children played in play area clean and tidy ,food was served by Sandra a lovely polite lady looking forward to visiting again soon thanks all x

Quick easygoing, relaxed atmosphere. Lovely staff.

Myself and partner had food on Sunday and it was an actual let down. We both had a pie each and they were both hard... The mash potatoes looked and felt like they were reheated a few times as well as the peas! We also had nachos with extra toppings including chilli con carne which was all lukewarm. Absolute waste of money Extremely disappointed

The staff went out of their way for 3 walk-ins. Missed the carvery, but food and service was excellent. Thanks ladies, definitely worth a revisit

Good food, excellent staff,very friendly and very clean.

Had the carvery which was good. The place was clean and friendly.

Went for a carvery for my birthday and although they were busy and I hadn't booked they still found me a table. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and even managed to fit in a desert. The staff were extremely busy but found time to make sure their customers were happy with their meals. Yes I would go again.

The food was over cooked to the point that it was crispy the steak was over cooked I asked for medium rare . and the portions are appalling at the price charged plus dirty grease on plate the menu was empty everything unavailable the service was OK but the 1 lady really needs to smile and with 4 sitting down for meals they should all eat together not separate times of food arriving was a regular but not anymore

Fabulous food, Especially the Steak, kids loved their meals ate the lot! Will Absolutely be Eating there Again, Staff excellent, 😊👍

The staff are rude, it's like you are an inconvenience to them. Food is very average, luke warm. Avoid at all costs

We come today for breakfast and was greeted by the lovely David. His happy friendly attitude rubs off. Unbeknown to David I've been having a really rough week and was treated to breakfast by my sister to cheer me up. David made the experience a 100% better. Thank you you have the best customer service I've seen in a very long time. I would come just for your customer service but food was top notch too. He's a credit to you.

Been here twice now and enjoyed it each time, foods always lovely and staffs always friendly. Kept clean and it's nice to the kids zone is run. Served by lowri M today.. what amazing people skills, friendly and a really bubbly attitude. Make the vist a pleasurable experience

Popped in for a quick lunch. Good service, food ok

Better food and service than their Merthyr store

Where do I start, food came out and god I wouldn’t even feed it the dog! Tried to complain about my eggs and sausages staff didn’t want to help or know! To make up for it one member said I could have free pudding it came out then the manger tried to make me pay for it! Definitely will not be returning

Early lunch for six people to avoid the rush that's normal during school holidays. Fast service, which I'd expect so early in the day, but plates turned up without onion rings, fries all cold, and bbq sauce that was funky, to say the least. It's really bad. Potion sizes should have been larger considering the near hundred pounds it cost..thats without desserts, which we decided to skip. Reported to front of house... Adsa just across the road took care of the desserts nicely..

The fish was a bit over cooked a bit dry ,not as good as I expected

It is a chain. Food is ok but you'll generally get better food from a regular pub that cooks fresh. Play area is nice but the price for it is just too much for what it is. Also why the Brits insist on having carpet in a restaurant is beyond me. Toilets were meh as well and continued the trend of not having a toilet brush (don't know since when that's a thing)

a friendly and kind service and excellent food

The soft play was 4.50 and most of it was closed off and wasn’t that clean

Average food, not cheap, dirty sticky floors with tables and chairs crammed in together. I'd recommend having a beer and letting the kids play, skip the food.

Second Sunday to visit for breakfast. Great quality and lots of variety both continental and cooked offerings are really good. Fantastic value nice surroundings and friendly helpful staff. See you soon....thanks...

Overpriced for what you get, spent £30 on 2 cokes and 2 meals, small portion sizes for the price and I was still hungry after having the food. Wouldn’t go back again

Rip off portion size £4 for garlic bread with cheese see photos attached. Burger was small as well

Brilliant spot if you fancy a carvery with your family or friends

Stood to order food for 30 minutes by the bar while the arrogant woman totally blanked me and served others, so walked out ! Terrible service

Soft play area was cold. Service was a bit slow.

Such a disappointment. The food was simply awful and the staff made you feel you were an inconvenience. Everything microwaved to death, all soggy, stodgy and tasteless. Dirty plates left on tables around us and took ages to cue at 1 till for even the simplest of requests. Aberdare doen't have fine dining but there are plenty of other places better than Brewers Fayre. Avoid at all costs.

They never have the food that we want to order due to supply issues we last went in April the food was less than ok then all 3 things I ordered were not avaliable then and now, so I went with Hunters chicken the bacon was inedible the chicken was dry my husbands burger was horrible, we thought we would give it another go but won't be going again for food the best part of this place is the staff they are as helpful as they can be under the circumstances they have to deal with on a daily basis wich isn't fair on them constantly having to go back to people and say the food they order is not available when it's not there fault they are under more pressure than needed for there pay rate!!

Great Brewers Fayre. Staff always friendly, don't wait long for your meal. Last one I had was Sunday carvery and was lovely

Food is cheap and cheerful and beer reasonably priced

Very friendly good service lovely food

Very quiet when we visited. An expected amount of vegan options on the menu. We enjoyed our food. Limited parking with only two disabled bays.

It was a birthday get together. Lovely food pleasant staff, meal deal fab. What more could one ask for

Visited on a Sunday for carvery. Food was good, didn't get chance to interact much with staff personally but we're polite and helpful. Didn't use kids play area due to the charge but would do if visiting with more children

Lovely food, good prices. Play area for the children brilliant.

Lovely family place 2 go beautiful carvery service was very good keep up the good work guys x

Not happy with the food went for Sunday lunch when it came the vegetables were cold the gravy was like water will not waste my money again

It's alright. Staff work hard to make it the best they can. Basic food but it's well done and always good, they just struggle with availability of some products. I'd recommend it for the price 👍

Here’s what you can expect here. Firstly there’s difficulty in parking as most spaces are taken up, ok not the pubs fault but let me carry on. Secondly groups of smokers directly at the main and only entrance so you are subjected to that before even entering. Food is pricey so you’d expect excellent service and food however we ordered the mix grill today, the eggs contained egg shells as so we complained naturally to which the meal was replaced, forcing us to eat our food at separate times and ruining the whole experience. I shouldn’t need to tell you the choking hazards egg shells present when large quantities are left in sunny side up fried eggs (begs the question how did this go un noticed and served at full price to customers). I won’t be coming back here, also I’ll show what drink we ordered as this drink costs almost £7
