Not a good experience this time we visited steak was poor and chewy my partner gave me his from his mixed grill, we should of sent it back really but the atmosphere was so dreary anyway just wanted to leave. Such a shame as we recommend to people in the community and visit regularly will give it a miss for a while.

Nice and clean and not to busy , parking was easy. Twice i asked for a house double vodka and was served the most expensive stuff. Food was just average and doesn't reflect the price.. If it was still a buy one get one free then you would expect that sort of quality but not paying full price. Been there several times before covid and was always happy but won't return again. Staff were friendly and was made to feel welcome so my review has no reflection on them. Apart from obviously not serving the house vodka ( which obviously comes from management)

Went for the steak night, oh dear what a waste of a good piece of steak, nice and thick but cooked very badly so much I couldn’t wait to get home to rest my jaw and floss my teeth, not good, avoid the steak.

We have used Willow Tree many times before and had a great meal and service. Recently it has changed dramatically and both the quality of service and food has gone way downhill to an extent where we wont visit again. The new 'system' of ordering everything from the bar with no table service has made the service more like a pub than a restaurant and the food standard has been getting worse over our last visits to a now 1 star quality. The waiting staff and it seems the kitchen staff dont' know or care the difference between a 'Rump' steak and a 'Sirloin'( except for knowing the price difference of course!) and serve the cheaper poorer rump regardless of order, steaks are cooked to whatever temp the cook seems to feel like at the time varying from RAW to Incinerated........regardless of what you ask for. Sorry, this was a great dining experience before and our favourite eating place but now it has become a run of the mill 'pub' with food on the side and very low quality service. We will not use again and will advise all our friends the same.

Well mains ok but pudding we ordered two sundaes as the table next to us had ordered one it was huge and looked amazing. We got two tiny ice creams in little bowls?? We instantly felt robbed so sent them back the server said they'd run out of the proper sundae glasses but was the same amount as the big ones?? Contradiction in terms. We went to pay the bill the sundaes had been removed. But they charged us £9.25 for a glass of house wine!!! We won't be back.

Visited a few weeks back on a Saturday night with friends and the food was ok but noticed the service was pretty awful, noone came to check if we wanted drinks, or dessert and we were there for ages. Next visit which was Fathers Day, the same again someone acknowledged we finished our meal but then didnt bother coming back and take our plates and ask if we wanted dessert or drinks. We waited about half an hour but we werent prepared to hang around for hours this time so we had dinner then left and bought desserts from the supermarket instead. Obviously both times they would have made more money from us if someone had actually bothered to come to the table. The final straw was our visit today. We booked a table for two online and came to the restaurant which had loads of empty tables, but were told it was "fully booked". We were told our booking wasnt confirmed and when my husband checked his email they had sent a cancellation which must have come through whilst we were on-route to the restaurant. I asked if we could come back a bit later and booked a table for an hour later. We did some shopping to kill time, and returned really hungry at this point. We were then given a menu and whilst being shown to our table (restaurant was still only half full) was told that there was an hour wait for food!! We couldnt believe it after being already turned away after booking an hour before, so we just walked out. To add insult to injury, a lady at the bar told us that she saw what happened to us when we arrived the 1st time, and they had only just booked a table on their way there in the car at the same time as us but they were given a table! We have been regular customers for years, but until things are sorted out there we wont be returning. Shame as the food is ok, but obviously the new manager doesnt want any custom.

Visited the Willow Tree today for Breakfast with Santa.(6 adults and 4 children) An amazing experience which all the children thoroughly enjoyed. Focus was primarily on the kids, with all children having their breakfasts before any of the adults. This meant that once fed, they could have a little mini disco, christmas sing songs and games before they had a treat from Santa himself.This did mean that all the adults got to eat their breakfast in peace (breakfast advertised as large and it was LARGE).The attention to details such as letter from Santa, colouring packs, selection box, photos with Santa and Naught Elf, even down to a snow machine covering the front on arrival, made it a really brilliant experience for all who attended.

I was so disappointed by our visit here. Staff were so unfriendly and unprofessional. My friend's cocktail was basically just syrup, and when she asked for the orange slice in the description was just told 'we don't have oranges.' Our drinks took 25 minutes to arrive, and I had to go inside and chase them up because they'd forgotten and they were completely unapologetic that they'd forgotten. Plus there was loads of food left out on the table next to us which was covered in flies, and wasn't cleared away for the hour we were there. So unimpressed

We understand covid has effected the ways things are done, but don’t expect to have attitude as soon as you walk in to get shouted at. Not really explained well, the woman behind the bar shook her head, and made it very uncomfortable, the tattooed lady then also kept staring and rolling her eyes. Very rude customer service.Foods not that special either, Ok if you just cant be bothered to cook but dont expect much.All i can say is that if that the staff need customer service training.Only wanted to go for food, not to have someone watching me, rolling her eyes and making us feel uncomfortable. Very disappointing, been here a few times over the years and can say never had a meal where there wasn’t just one problem. Only benefits to coming here is that it’s cheap. Well it’s not as cheap as it used to be... But would rather buy a ready meal from asda, take it home and microwave it. Might get a warm meal then

Visited this week for lunch with daughter, restaurant was absolutely freezing - all the windows and doors were open, had to leave coat on for whole visit. Meal was not the best - small portions, prices have gone through the roof - £16.50 for 1 small chicken breast with garlic mushroom sauce, about 5 small new potatoes and tiny portion of vegetables, don’t think government discount was applied (website says this is automatic) possibly just the normal buy one get one free and full cost of drinks and side? Have since queried the bill as no receipt was given only to be told discount isn’t automatically applied if you order through the app (I didn’t) and sometimes doesn’t show on the receipt but without my receipt to prove what happened there’s nothing they can do. So beware!!

I decided to visit here again after a mediocre meal last time and left even less impressed. There was no warm welcome. The waitress seemed like we were putting her out by being there and didn't have a name badge so I don't know her name. We ordered two Sunday roasts, which arrived quickly but were swimming in water alongside the gravy. The food itself was lukewarm and it tasted like the vegetables weren't fresh. The carrots were cold and the peas were like bullets without any flavour. I left half of my meal. We ordered dessert as I was still hungry but after a long wait and no dessert in sight, we decided to leave as I'd simply had enough. £3.20 for a refillable soft drink, total £20 for both of us and we went to Abergavenny to find somewhere nicer for dessert. We won't return in a hurry.

We have visited The Willow Tree for several years now and have always have great food and service (I've written a previous positive review). However last nights food was awful. I chose prawn cocktail to start. A handful of mixed lettuce on a plate with large chunks of cucumber. Prawns and sauces plonked top. No finesse, no care and very disappointing. My main was cod in stilton sauce. I couldn't finish this meal. The cod was so over cooked it was hard. The carrots were literally dried out and the new potatoes well over cooked and squishy. My partner's smothered chicken looked pretty rough to start and looked and tasted liked it had been boiled for hours, it was inedible. When I spoke to our waitress on paying and said all of the above she stated that they had had a few changes and did not have a chef! As we were leaving a young couple next to us had just received their meals. They were both seriously unimpressed and the young woman said she couldn't eat it, pointing to her chicken. This is a fairly damming review, I am aware. However for such a change in food standards something has to be done and soon or they will be loose customers and we will loose what has been a very good place to eat. That would be a great shame as the front of house staff are lovely and the decor and ambience are excellent.

We have recently moved back to the area after 8 years. Having previously visited the willow tree 3 years ago, and been very disappointed, we decided to pop in on a Saturday evening with not to high expectations...... we couldn’t have been more wrong, Daniel and his staff were fantastic!!

We had an impromptu stop at the Willow Tree after a visit to the nearby supermarket. It's part of the Marston's chain, but unlike many well-used chain pubs, wasn't looking careworn and sorry for itself - the design and upkeep are both good. There is a very wide menu, so I can't imagine anyone not finding something they like. The children's menu is also very good, with plenty of options for children to 'mix and match' their preferences into their meal. We had two curries which were very substantial and really tasty, and were pleasantly surprised to find it was 'two for one' curry Wednesday, so one of them was free. All of the staff at the Willow Tree were welcoming and friendly, and obviously really good at their jobs because even though it was a busy lunchtime, the food came quickly and no finished plates were left lingering on tables after the meals had been eaten. I must give a special mention to Ellie Mae who served us as she was really polite and kind mannered, and gave equal attention to all the tables she was serving. Sometimes service suffers in places which are busy, but Ellie-Mae remained professional and unflustered at all times. We will definitely return.

Listen, the willow tree is the willow tree. You don’t go there for a la cart and the price is bang on for what you get! It’s enjoyable and a lovely atmosphere. Food was good, as always.

Well our visit here wasn’t the worst we’ve had. The salad was edible but for the price I could have made a decent one ... if you like easy fried food you should visit here. We knew what we were in for so the fact it was dog friendly we went here. Unfortunately if I had to be honest we would not eat here again. Nice atmosphere for a drink though. We would visit for a drink again.

Absolutely terrible food, ought too be ashamed to charge never mind serve it . We had lamb shank and 3 steaks it was either cold or cooked to death, mashed potatoes with skin on it , revolting.

Presso cafe is wonderful, a really gem of the town and everyone should visit. The service was impeccable, so kind and happy to help. Now another review has mentioned the "chunky toast" and I was extremely amused by this on the menu so ordered it and my word.... Chunky indeed but so soft and delicious. My partners ham and cheese toasty also delicious. Really really lovely spot and I really hope the buisness keeps booming. If we ever come back to Ebbw vale we will for sure re visit.
