My wife and I came across this village pub whilst coming back from penyfan , we popped in for Sunday dinner and we were asked if we booked , to our delight the bar manageress managed to fit us in the large conservatory area . Within 2 minutes a young girl came over and took our order and within 10 mins had the best Sunday dinner to date , it was mouthwatering, the beef was so tender . When we were about to pay for our food we noticed it was cash only ( our fault for not looking because there was signs everywhere) and again the staff couldn't do enough for us they even gave us a lift to the nearest cashpoint. The manager was very knowledgeable about the area telling us about other walks in the area . We will be going back has its our new favourite pub . 10 out 10 from start to finish.

Went for my birthday with family.. we were seated in a small conservatory style room with tiny windows in 20°+ heat however we overlooked this and stayed optimistic.. when it came to food I ordered a sirloin cooked medium however it was overdone and had no seasoning on it whatsoever (not what you’d expect at all for £18.95), I forced myself to eat a small portion of the steak and also cut off a piece each for my family members to try to see if it was just me that thought it was terrible (the verdict was unanimous - it was the worst steak I have ever eaten, I’ve had better cooked in the house). My family handed it back to a waitress and was told no problem she’ll pass on the message, a few minutes later the (I assume manager??) and the chef come to the table and (in front of a room of 20+ people) basically say that they aren’t going to change the food out, insinuating that I had eaten ‘half of the meal’ 🤣 I had infact eaten a small piece of the steak and none of the rest. I told the ‘chef’ that to my understanding every other steak I’ve ever had was seasoned and pan fried, the meat was grey in colour after being cooked and had not been grilled or fried to a decent standard! My partner then to avoid embarrassment offered to pay full price again for another meal- I chose ham, eggs and chips which was an improvement. After how uncomfortable we were made to feel we decided to leave shortly after (I couldn’t get out of there quick enough) & upon paying the (again… manager??) said to my partner ‘your girlfriend shot herself in the foot because it didn’t say ‘seasoned’ steak on the menu’ A) what an appalling thing to say to PAYING CUSTOMERS (we still paid over £100 in total for food even though it was definitely the worst meal we’d ever had.. food and customer service) and B) I have never been to a restaurant/pub where they’ve had bland unseasoned steak (there wasn’t even salt and pepper on it) and by that account the menu should’ve said ‘unseasoned steak’. The (manager??) did end up deducting the price of the ham, egg and chips because it was the cheaper meal.. we still lost out on over £5 on a meal that was foul. And also discounted £5 because they charge £2.50 for tiny little thimble sized paper sauce pots and we had 2 (£2.50 for that amount of sauce is diabolical🤣). I only wish I had taken photos because words simply just don’t suffice. Not one of us cleared our plates and still left starving because we felt so awkward after everything. Amidst all this my 8 year old sister fell off her chair because it was wobbly and was screaming crying for over 5 minutes and NOT ONE member of staff came to assist or even ask if she was ok. And as the pub states cash only we were told a ‘bank transfer’ would suffice to which the money for the food had to be transferred to a personal account not a business account. All in all will never ever visit again. The only positive was that the young lady that seated us was lovely. I wish any business the best of luck in todays economy but I think when it comes to customer satisfaction you have to learn to accept criticism and make your customers feel welcome, I felt it met neither of those requirements.

Regularly visit here with both friends and family - never really had any issues and food is nice enough. Don’t usually like to leave negative reviews for places, but can’t help but comment on the Barman’s incredibly rude attitude on a few occasions. Very arrogant and unpleasant. Don’t know the staff members name, he’s a tall man with dark hair. It does let the place down and it is a shame. Hopefully this can be looked into!

Visited today with a group of friends who had a load of issues last time they came (a year ago) but decided to give the place another go. We had to ask for ketchup 3 times as each time they bought over an empty bottle. I asked for pepper which never arrived. I ordered a mixed grill - the sausages were really cheap. My steak and gammon were undercooked so I sent them back. Around 15 minutes later my meal reappeared. Everything apart from the steak was ok but the steak was now very much over cooked and my chips were undercooked. The staff did give me a free desert. All in all this was a poor experience and we won’t be returning.

Asked for sauce, finally got some in the fourth bottle they brought.Burgers are cheap and greasy. Needed multiple napkins to clean up.Chips are undercooked and obviously frozen as middle still hard and cold.Steaks for our party came out looking cooked but were still mooing and roaming the plate. The gammon steak was also still raw in the middle.Meals all came out at different times.The only positive was the desserts... Well pre-made Ice cream which are just dropped into glasses.

We were driving to Brecon feeling like some food when we happened upon this pub- well it looked more like a cafe but we soon realised that the main building was a friendly little pub. The menu had a good range of eats from sandwiches through to hearty full meals. We both chose ham egg and chips. The ham was well flavoured and the chips tasty and the egg was, well, egg! The meal was priced at a great value £7.50 downed with a glass of lager from the bar. Service was excellent and pretty prompt. We could have eaten at the bar, or outside on picnic tables but it was pretty crowded and the day was scorching so we opted to sit in the cafe. There was plenty of room to park in the attached parking area or on the roadside.

Stood at the bar - the person behind just looked up and put her head back down, carried on with her paperwork for a few minutes then i had to ask 'are you doing food tonight' - she looked up and said 'no'. Nice customer said 'she meant 'no sorry''. Haven't been for years, will never return awful customer service no wonder it's empty

Visited for a bite to eat having had to endure the perils of shopping at Cyfartha Retail Park. Have visited before and food has always been 'ok. We both opted for Plaice and chips. We were served supermarket breaded Plaice and oven chips with thrown together salad on the side. The food was edible but for £9.50 the quality was shambolic. This was highlighted to me even more having recently eaten Plaice at The Red Lion Llangynidyr which was beautiful for £7.50 and Baked Cod at Worms Head Rhossili for £10.50.

A small group of us arrived late on a Sunday night at 9.15pm for a few drinks. Myself, my partner and her father were hungry but the landlord informed us they weren't serving food that late on a Sunday. Eager to help us out the gentleman pointed us in the direction of a local Chinese 100 yards away and gave us permission to bring back the food to eat in the pub and he would provide us with the cutlery and napkins etc.Nothing seemed a hassle for him and I rate his kind service 5 Star.We all had a couple drinks each and everyone's pints were cold and fresh.We will definitely be back and at a time they will be serving their own food.

The roast chicken dinner was delicious and complete with yorkshire pudding, mint sauce, roast and boiled potatoes and 7 different vegetables! To follow we had apple pie and custard, all home made and good traditional fare. The drinks were reasonably priced and the staff were cheerful and friendly. I would definitley recommend this to anyone who appreciates good simple traditional food.

Had Sunday lunch and was not disappointed. A generous portion of roast beef - gravy served separately in a gravy boat and 6 different veg in addition to the usual roasties and Yorkshire pud. Very enjoyable meal. If anyone visits the nearby Brecon Mountain Railway it would be a good place to eat. Only negative was that when we sat down at 2 p.m. they only had chicken or beef left on the menu. Clearly the ealrier eaters had taken up the other roasts. Didn't bother me though - I love a well cooked roast beef.

Not been here for a long time so was pleased to say the ambience of this lovely little pub had not changed. The log burner was roaring and the staff were more than friendly in getting us sorted out. The menu selection was ample - as were the portions of food when they arrived ! We didn't have to wait too long and the food arrived all together, piping hot. Very tasty and the service was excellent. And all at very reasonable prices that a lot of other pubs should look to. My only complaint is that the decor of the conservatory could do with a smarten up. But with this quality food at these prices and with excellent service its a minor gripe indeed. We shall be back when next in Merthyr. P.S. forgot to mention the beer is superb to and not at silly prices !

Visited on the 8th November 2015 as a family of eight (six adults and two children).Great friendly service and the food was fantastic. It's great value with the whole table (with four desserts) bill coming to £79 (excluding drinks)It's changed owners a few times over the past few years so if you've been previously give this place another try. One point (but I'm nit picking) would be if they had real chips and not frozen ones. In my opinion that would really make already fantastic food, exceptional. L

Went today for Sunday Lunch and was overall very impressed. The sunday lunch was huge for 6.95 and very nice overall, however thought the veg lacked a bit of seasoning and the mint sauce had too much vinegar in it. My girlfriend also found it quite cold and the food did seem to go cold quite quickly. Lots of people sat with their coats on which could have been avoided as there were two wood burners there but unlit. Overall I'd give it a very good 3 stars but could be excellent and the lunch was extremely good value.

Very good pub food, well presented. We were a group of about 25, even though some had starters and some didn't, we were not kept waiting too long. Very pleasant staff. I would go there again.

Have had several meals with friends and family over the years living in wales and have been overwhelmed with warm welcome, great service and quality food. Always a friendly bar experience , very cheerful bar tenders, certainly never fails to impress.

Y Pant Cad Ifor Inn - this is the best pub in Wales. Food delicious, great cosy atmosphere with the real fireplace and wingback chairs. The selection of home-made desserts will leave you spoilt for choice.The staff are fantastic, and make you feel like the most important person there, even if they are dealing with a busy bar full of people!

Me, my girlfriend and friends visit this pub regularly on the weekend for drinks and sometimes during the week for food in the evening. It is very cosy with a charming rustic feel to it. The staff are always excellently helpful and friendly. The food, for the price, has always been superb with very generous portions! And the drink selection is very good (they have spiced rum so I'm happy) As well as all this the Pant Cad Ifor is dog friendly and situated within walking distance of the Brecon Mountain Railway and stunning Pontsticill Reservoir and is a great place to rest your weary feet and re-fuel after a hard days trekkin'! Best pub in Merthyr by miles!

good food, congenial atmosphere, drinks ok and service very good. food and drink prices were average I guess. Preferred the place when Phil Williams was the landlord as then he ran a great pub quiz on Tuesday evenings and had an impressive selection of real ales and in the winter had a real log fire. Sadly, these have all gone

I recently visited here as part of a birthday party. The food was good, reasonably priced as was the wine. The starter was a tad disappointing - £3.95 for 5 garlic mushrooms but the desserts (if I'd had room) looked lush. Was a bit weirded out by the "for display purposes only" sticky toffee puddings though. The restaurant was packed out which goes to show how popular it has become in the community.

This was my first visit and I was very impressed. The old pub section was full so we went into the restaurant side. The service was quick and friendly. The lunch menu had many choices including several 'specials'. We all ordered the place and chips. This was well cooked, not at all greasy and came served with peas and salad. We then had deserts chosen from the refrigerated display. It was all very good value for a pleasant lunch.

We ate here for my Great Grandmothers both birthday and it was very nice, the food wasn't too expensive but I must say it was well worth it.

Really poor meal for a joint birthday celebration. All served luke warm. Poor service & attitude. I sent mine back, the old folks too old school to do that. Met with a bunch of attitude from waitress on second serving of food. My dad who has medical needs went to use the toilet, the place covered in puke. The good waitress of the 3 there took him to the b&B toilets so he could go to the toilet. We settled the bill and left. 10% discount was applied to the bill... Never again £130 excluding the drinks we paid at the bar bill we paid separately £50 for that mostly soft drinks

Start with wait for 30 mins then staff came to table said they did not have pork belly so ok my dad changed his order to chicken BBQ then another 15 mins no chicken at all so he forced to change to be pork or beef at that point we waited for almost a hour... Time passed by we heard the kitchen staffs call for service as it about 15 plates of food waiting to be served but unfortunately no staff thinking that should be their priority so food wait there cool ,wait for another 15 mins still no hope we ask for a girl she said it nothing to do with her she just server and she will go brake now . Quite shock with uninteresting and unhelpful behaviour nevermind more than 60 mins pass two of us got food which absolutely so cold my son got one of finger is burnt so he can't eat it small chips but their so hungry to compliant. Then girl came to said my food is roasted chicken is not available have to wait another 10 mins at least at that point me and my husband got enough we just cancelled our order and we go to McDonald's instead .to be honest the service is absolutely ridiculous. We will not go back ever again.also my son he love harvester but now he said he hate harvester.
