Having seen the reviews of this cafe, we decided to take an elderly friend for lunch. Having driven through beautiful Welsh countryside we arrived at 12.45. There was a welcome sign saying what the soup of the day was with the price…all seemed well. We entered the cafe and there were plenty of tables with tables outside. However, upon our entry we were asked if we had booked! When we said no, we were told that all we could be offered was a dessert and a drink! When I pointed out that nothing on their website said bookings were required, I was told that bookings were required! We were told no seats were available inside, so went and sat outside and had a scone for lunch! We noted that the cafe was completely empty of customers when we left an hour later. I suppose all who booked could not make it! The scone was nice, but not really adequate for a lunchtime meal. I should add that the Ty Bach was like an outdoor privy. There were electric socket unit hanging from the wall near a sign that warned of very hot water. I doubt the facility would pass a safety inspection! All in all we were extremely disappointed. Having driven some miles to take a friend to lunch, we feel we were let down by false advertising on the website which simply said it was open Thursday to Sunday and offered a full menu. The sign at the door offered soup of the day, but obviously not to us. BE WARNED… they apparently require customers to book in advance. The toilet facilities are dangerous!

We visited for afternoon tea. One of the cream teas was gluten free. We could not believe how many sandwiches, savouries and cakes arrived per person. There was also limited beverages. The quality was superb. The service was spot on. We were even allowed to take our dog with us. TOP MARKS THANK YOU.

My companion ordered the ploughman's lunch - advertised as ham and cheese etc with a baguette. NO BAGUETTE! There was a tiny roll on the plate. In other restaurants you would be given a basket of these while waiting for your mains. When I queried this I was told it was a 'mini baguette' and that was what was on the menu. Have checked the menu since and this is not the case. When I've asked around everyone else seems to think, as we did, that a baguette is similar to a subway roll in size. Not something so small you could hide it in your closed hand. The original 'ploughman's lunch' was traditionally a hunk of bread and a chunk of cheese. Not salad and grapes. To give them credit, the place is attractive, the food fresh and nicely presented. Not enough to make our experience a positive one though. My companion was disappointed with the meal and I was embarrassed to have suggested this visit. (Thinking about it since, why not just offer another roll, or a piece of bread and butter since it was obviously an issue for the customer? Not doubled down because we could not check the sole menu which had already been passed to other diners.) It is also not possible to leave a negative response on their facebook page. If you try, the message pops up 'We're having trouble with completing your request. Please try again.' No matter how many times I tried, or how briefly stated, this came up every time. Perhaps that is why all their reviews are positive? No negatives allowed!

Andy and Sandy run a campsite alongside the Tearooms. We had a Welsh learners group reunion camp-out for the weekend. The setting was beautiful. Facilities were unashamedly basic but we had all been made fully aware beforehand. 10/10 for the campsite. As for the Tearoom - we all agreed we had been looked after brilliantly on both evenings of 'occupation'. Nothing was too much trouble. All diets were catered for and the quality was excellent. I know some of us who pass through on the M4 occasionally will definitely be making a detour to revisit. Note: Andy also keeps a couple of bottles of Penderyn whisky. As high a recommendation as I can give.

A group of 12 of us stayed on the campsite for a weekend, it was perfect for our annual Welsh learners group reunion - hope to hold it here every year from now on! Short walk from camping field to tearooms & toilet. The homemade cakes are divine. The tearoom is also licensed to serve alcohol & we hung out in it like a bar in the evenings. Not sure if that was just by arrangement for our group. Andy & Sandy are lovely & couldn't do enough for us - they catered for our every need!

We stopped purely by chance...sooo glad we did! Atmosphere was fantastic, welcome was great especially given how busy they were. My smoothie was gorgeous along with the huge piece of the lightest and tastiest slice of Victoria Sandwich that I've had for years. My husband had Rhubarb Crumble with custard....and he said it was the best he had ever had.

Absolute gem of a place, fantastic food, the friendliest, most obliging of people. We were first introduced to Torcefn on Mothers Day 2020 when my children treated us to afternoon tea which was delivered to the door, it was awesome. When we were looking to book somewhere for our small wedding reception Torcefn was the obvious choice. We were so happy when the said that we could have it at the Tearooms even though they didn't open on a Wednesday. They didn't disappoint lovely setting, loved how they decorated the table, fantastic food, nothing was too much trouble. Wonderful time had by all

From the outside a very large garden shed, from the inside, a warm friendly vintage style Cafe, home made delicious food in a clean and friendly atmosphere. My good lady wife and I both have dietary problems, gluten and lactose to name but a few, however this was not a problem for Andy and Sandy who have recently taken over the reigns, Andy was at front of house and really knowledgeable looking after your dietary needs, our food was delicious and very enjoyable. I would recommend Torcefn to all who seek the perfect treat out.

After reading the reviews we booked afternoon tea for a friend birthday. The venue is a nice little place with a nice menu (if you are not having afternoon tea) The afternoon tea, was nice with plenty of choice for cakes the sandwiches however were very disappointing with three tiny squares (not even finger sandwiches). We had one small pot of tea between 2!! When we asked for more (as we only had a small China cup each) we were charged for another pot of tea.I understand that it is now under new ownership so maybe the above is just teething problems. New managers are lovely and I would go back for food and cakes, but not for Afternoon Tea.

Visited today on a wet and windy today with my good friend from school/work.We were greated by a lovely lady who explained the menu's.I am gluten free and was given a number of food options to choose from-sandwiches,toasters,jacket potatoes and cheese and potato pie.I opted for the jacket potato and beans whilst my friend went for the corned beef pie.Both meals arrived piping hot with a lovely salad and dressing on the side.The corned beef pie was huge but not stodgy according to my friend.My jacket was beautiful.The meals were well presented and very tasty.We both ordered tea to drink and we received a huge teapot each and lovely little milk jugs.The choice of desserts was fantastic especially the gluten free.It was a tough choice to choose from-scone,fruit tartlet,roulade or carrot cake.I had the carrot cake and my friend had Victoria sponge.Both cakes were stunning.The Victoria sponge was huge and very moist.The carrot cake was moist too and creamy.We had a wonderful time and will definitely be coming back again to try the afternoon tea.Everything was lovely from the old fashioned and quaint crockery to the napkins with the message Croeso.I can't recommend this place enough.Best meal and pudding I've had.Diolch Torcefn.

Went with a family member for Sunday lunch today The food was first class- choice of three meats and vegetables with the veg( mashed potato, broccoli , swede, cauliflower and peas in serving dishes)and parsnips and roast pots and yorkshire and stuffing already on the plate..The meat was pork beef or turkey or you can have a mix and the gravy was thick and homemade.The environment was quaint and reminiscent of a 40's garden summerhouse. Single course was £11 and I would have liked a dessert but I was so full there was no room!I can see why its a good location for teas and will be back to try one.The only downfall is that the road off the main road is rather worn and bumpy so dont go in a car too low to the groundHighly recommended as a different place to visit for lunch or tea

We arrived to Torcefn Tea Room today (sunday) and when we walked in there were tables full of pretty crockery all laid. We were seen too and seated straight away. Once we got comfortable a man came and took our drinks order which there was a good selection of. We were also pleasantly surprised that soft drinks were included with the afternoon tea as well as hot drinks. We had the drinks in no time and the tea and coffee was lovely. It did not take long for them to bring out a well presented tray of all kinds of sandwiches and some crisps. They also catered for 2 people who did not like butter and gave them their own little plates with sandwiches with also a very good selection!

I have just moved to the area so visited here with my husband and a friend. We ordered afternoon tea which was superb. The carrot cake was probably the best I have ever had, and the cheesecake was close on its heels. It was a proper afternoon tea with a variety of sandwiches and cakes, and very good value. I wish it were further away as I fear we may be tempted to visit more often than is good for our waistlines!

I was taken as a birthday treat to this tea room, what a find this place is a fair way off the beaten track but so worth the trip. We had a cream tea each. It was served on Bone China with choice of teas. These teas were excellent. The sandwiches were varied and the selections served were 1st class. What can I say about the cakes and scones except watch your waistline people they are so moreish. Loads of cream to go with the scones which are light and fluffy. All in all, this is a place that you get great value for money in a lovely setting and far from the madding crowd.

I was staying in the area for a few days for work and wanted to find somewhere special to take the boyfriend when he came to visit. We were not disappointed!The whole tearoom was decorated for Christmas on top of a lovely shabby chic style. All of the tables have beautiful vintage tea sets all set up which creates a lovely homely feel and perfect for afternoon tea! We arrived fairly early for brunch and had toasties which were all homemade and delicious. Not forgetting the huge teapot which gave us both plenty of tea!It's worth noting to remember to take cash or cheque with you as they do not accept cards. If you want to go as a group I would recommend booking as well, as when we arrived most of the tables were booked. Will definitely be visiting again!

We went on Saturday afternoon after a confusing journey. We found it in the end and it was well worth it. We had a great welcome and we were shown to a table which was covered with very nice quality china cups, saucers, plates etc. also a very nice oilcloth table covering. It was really cosy, comfortable and had a homely atmosphere and spotlessly clean. Just right for afternoon tea. the menu is fairly basic but the food is of excellent quality. I had home made corned beef pie which melted in the mouth, it came with a extremely nice salad. The tearoom is only open Fri/Sat/Sun .We were lucky finding a table as it wasn't all that busy when we arrived but soon started to fill up. I would recommend booking ahead to avoid disappointment. Well worth a visit. They also have a farm shop selling season vegetables.

Visited here after reading very good reviews. We arrived on a beautiful summers day. The little outhouse where they serve the tea was really stuffy so we asked if we could sit outside. Probably not the best idea as I think they forgot about us for most of our stay. Tea and coffees took a while to come and even longer for the sandwiches. Had to order another pot of tea when the sarnies did come as we finished the first pot. Doesn't come as the traditional afternoon tea usually does in the 3 tier plate but sarnies came first on a plate with some crisps and then the cake plate came after another really long wait. Meringue was definitely a favourite - there was lemon meringue pie.. Meringue roulade and meringue nests. Unfortunately I dislike meringue very much so didn't eat anything. The setting was very nice and was made better with the sun shining. Ok for the price but wouldn't return in a hurry.

afternoon tea with my 3 sisters after a recommendation from a friend and it lived up to expectations, plenty of assorted finger sandwiches followed by a selection of small cakes and then warm scones with raspberry jam and clotted cream all accompanied by freshly brewed tea served in pretty teapots(yes we had2) in pretty bone china tea cups. Highly recommended

Second visit, really lovely. The setting is quaint, the welcome is warm and the afternoon tea is amazing. Great value for money, slightly off the beaten track but well worth a detour.

I met a friend here for tea/coffee and scones. I had tea - which meant a huge teapot of tea in a dainty little teacup - I couldn't fault the tea at all. My friend had a latte and it was a good size, we also ordered scones. The food/drinks arrived quickly and the service received from the staff was excellent. We received two scones each and on also were given a bowl containing jam and another containing clotted cream - there was more than enough of each - definitely no skimping on servings here! There is a choice to sit outside or inside - on a sunny day it would be great to sit outside and enjoy the views surrounding the tea rooms. I would definitely return here.

Tucked away in the middle of farm land, off the beaten track, this is a little gem if you like tea and cake!Family run, by very warm and friendly people. Cakes looked all home made, and very difficult to choose the winner. Everything is served on beautiful floral china. Probably not the best place for full of energy kids. We had two hot drinks, two scones, two welsh cakes and a strawberry trifle, and it only came to less than £8!! Their only flaw is there was no tips jar, as they certainly deserved it!

Torcefn is a fantastic place to visit for afternoon tea. Indeed most of the hotels or restaurants in the area who offer afternoon teas would learn a great deal from this small unusual tearoom. It is situated out in the country and is always full to capacity. The food offered is all home made and the choice of sweet is absolutely amazing. It is a delight to visit Torcefn and Mr and Mrs Evans are wonderful hosts aiming to please all their customers, I would have no hesitating in awarding Torcefn as the best tearooms in Wales.

We pop up regularly and always have fantastic food. The cakes are to die for especially the scones! If your looking for a rural little gem this is the place to visit. Enjoy :)

This is a family run tea room that serves delicious food. I have virtually tried everything on the menu and never been disappointed. The afternoon teas are especially good value and so nice...just don't eat a meal before having them...they are SO generous. Such a shame they only open Friday to Sunday !!

Lovely afternoon tea with excellent sandwiches, scones and cakes, would have preferred stronger tea!. Very busy tearoom on a Sunday afternoon hence a wait, staff very pleasant. Excellent value, highly recommended. Shame the weather was not with us to sit outside......

A reasonably priced, lovely setting tearooms. Only open Fri- Sunday and will take bookings soarge groups can go. Sandwiches were good and the apple pie was nice according to my gran who thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The tradional cup and saucer was a winner with my gran who is looking forward to returning.Advertised as a farm shop there wasn't much for sale in the little shed when we were there and the drive was pretty pot holey so be ware of this on your car. Sign is also easy to drive past if you're driving to fast on the road. Enjoyable enough.

Afternoon tea, sandwiches, and cakes were lovley as were the scones but very skimpy on the jam and cream. Tea and coffee were very weak. Staff very friendly but service was somewhat slow.

We visited Torcefn Tea Rooms for Afternoon Tea yesterday and we received a very warm and friendly welcome. There was a great selection of sandwiches and fresh cakes and we were able to take our time, without being rushed. A very pleasant afternoon, which we will definitely be recommending to friends. Great value for money!!

Visited Torcefn this week for Afternoon Tea, a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The food was excellent, delicious sandwiches and a huge variety of homemade cakes served on pretty china, copious amounts of tea. Terrific value for the quality of food. Lovely owners, very attentive. The log cabin was homely and in such a pretty spot -- nice outdoor seating areas also, surrounded by flowers. Well worth a visit. DR

Worth seeking out. They know how to give service and it looked all home made. My scones, jam and cream were scrummy (and warm) and welcome after a hilly bike ride.

Visited the Tea room today for the first time. Owners very friendly and were very helpful. Cakes were delicious and so was the coffee and tea. Well worth a visit. Been open a short time and its gaining a good reputation for friendliness and good service and of course great produce. Veg for sale also in the small shop. Hope they do well - they deserve to as they appear to work very hard indeed.

I went here for my evening meal whilst I was working in Wales. The food was home cooked and really nice. The thing that made the difference for me was the gentleman who looked after me while I was there. It was greatly appreciated, especially when dining alone all week. Thank you!

If you like a nice beef steak then look no further! The chef buys his meat from a small Swansea butcher and it’s both great quality and well cooked at an amazingly low price! It’s a pub as well as a restaurant so whether you are looking to eat or just have a beer, it’s great! The only downside is that Doombar is the only ale they keep, you would expect a local welsh beer.

We recently booked and visited this establishment for a Sunday roast / 93rd birthday party, (not me by the way!) as we were staying locally for the weekend. Well what can I say!!, as soon as I arrived, the outside looked like someone’s house in this tiny, yet beautiful village, however once over the threshold it became apparent how large and beautiful the inside of this pub was, even Doctor Who would’ve been impressed with this tardis! I and another family member were greeted by a warm and friendly faced landlady, and she was a lady! Asked where we were from and made us feel incredibly welcome, then she let herself down by undercharging us for our pints £4.50 each!! At home in Wiltshire I pay £6.50 for the very same pint. We were shown to our own large table (11 people), set on our own. This restaurant was impeccable. The food was perfect with some difficult family members dietary requirements, even the chef came to the table which turned out to be the landlord, what a nice guy he was too. This place was so good, I felt only obliged to buy the landlord and landlady a drink to say thank you for looking after us. After giving the 93-year-old the bumps to celebrate, we left happy and fulfilled. Thank you guys!
