I took my parents out here ( wetherspoons Aberdare) on Tuesday midday and got to say it was a lovely atmosphere. I would like to thank a member of staff called Sacha who served us twice and fetched our order twice too very friendly and happy Member of staff she was. She looked after my parents too and had a nice chat to us whilst serving us Wetherspoons you need more staff like Sacha thank you

When we come here it's always a nice warm place to come and eat out instead of having to cook and in my budget to we always seem To come for breakfast can't go wrong really used to also have a roast dinner on a Sunday but don't go here for the traditional roast any more they stopped the cooked dinner for some reason they stopped spoiling us so much, the staff always go above and beyond and the toilets get a 10 from len I'll give an extra star on review if they do the right thing and bring back the roast dinners again. 😀

Nice pub. However tables were left uncleared . We were in the pub for about 45 mins and the tables surrounding us had been vacated before we arrived but the empty glasses and dirty plates (with leftover food) were left uncleared the whole time we were in the pub.

Ordered a double cheeseburger with side of onion rings and a fish and chips with a pint of Pepsi Max and a pint of calling they bring the Pepsi Max and then bring out two plates of fish and chips. Speak to the waiter and ask politely and show on the app saying I’ve ordered a cheeseburger as well, even Scott in my face and then answers well I’ve cooked both now and I can’t refund you, was a bit terrible and the Pepsi was flat then charged a bit extra for the. Didn’t even offer to speak to a manager or correct the issue and I showed him the receipt from the app which did say Cheeseburger with onion rings and fish and chips not too orders of fish and chips.

Has to be the worst in the country, it was freezing, asked for help with the cold, too be told, Well I am not cold. Tables were disgusting, empty food plates piled high, also glasses piled high too, bar staff bringing drinks and meals out, not returning with any empty plates or glasses, as a local will not return.

We just went into Yr Ieuan Ap Iago for no other reason than to have a quick drink after a day of sightseeing around the area. Seemed like a pleasant enough place to rest our weary feet. So we rested our weary feet and we rested them until they were weary-free. We had a couple of lemonades while the blood briefly turned to pins and needles, then on to dull aching, steamed past cramp and on mercifully to the status of 'rested'. The food hurriedly passing us looked tempting but we made do with a couple of packets of McCoys, the Lord of all crisps to see us through. Aberdare's entry into the Wetherspoons cinematic universe was nice enough without being spectacular.

Cardiff Morris and friends had been let down so needed meals for about 50 with hardly any notice. The staff rose to the challenge cheerfully and everyone was fed and enjoyed the excellent beer. It’s a big space and with a little table shifting we were welcomed to dance as well All in all a very enjoyable visit.

Security guards attitude stinks. Told me n my friend to get out multiple times (only went in for food) as my friend didn’t have id was was about to leave the restaurant when a security guard was like “where’s your id” so I said my friend hasn’t got id so we are leaving then she continued to be like “get out then” whilst me and my friend was trying to be sound to her. Horrible person, no wonder people don’t like security guards. Stood there until we went even though we was getting our things to leave when she continued to say “get out then” honestly got on my nerves.

The food is so up and down, but its not even day by day it's meal by meal, what I mean by this is one side of the family could have a nice dinner and the other half could be stone cold and not what they ordered. The inconsistency is incredible. Cheap and cheerful, it is spoons after all. Staff are not bad, not the worst spoons staff I've encountered.

It's a wetherspoons, an average one at that. Beers are cheap and it's where people gather.
Leigh Jones . 2023-08-23

When it comes to spoons, cheap is one of the main factors. You know what to expect each time. Typically there are a good selection of ales available and food is cheap but cheerful. Some spoons have a bit of character due to the former building it encompasses. The yr leuan ap iago (yes, I have no idea how to say it either), is admittedly one of the worst Weatherspoons I've ever been in. It's very dull and the main seating area feels like one of those party halls we all hated being dragged along to for some family gathering when we were kids. Ales are hit and miss. According to bar staff, people in the area prefer lagers to ales and so the selection is almost always poor (1, maybe 2 guest ales on tap). The app is usually never properly updated so it will show ales available which aren't on when you get there (normally it won't show any guest ales so visiting is a case of fingers crossed but usually ends in disappointment). One of the managers said they had reduced the price of guest ales to £1.99 in order to get more people drinking ales (ales are a love hate thing, reducing the price by 20p just isn't going to make everyone put down their lagers and switch). People aren't too friendly there. Contrary to a lot of Weatherspoons I've been in where the regulars just get on with their own thing, I've encountered a few here needlessly gobbing off at me for no real reason whatsoever. People barge in at the bar, staff are often too few and it's a long wait for a pint and when finally getting served, it just feels so bland being there that phones, laptops, tablets or even going through the Weatherspoons magazine is an essential. Food is ok, the usual. Everything else such as coffee and soft drinks are as you expect. If you live local, no doubt you will be nodding at my comments. If you don't, then either give Aberdare a miss entirely or if you really have to go to the Yr Ap wotsit, try and sit in the little 'snug' bit (instantly to the left as you come in) to be shut away from the rest of the pub.

It's a Wetherspoons. Food is cheap, looks cheap and tastes cheap. Coffee is really bitter, but you can get a refillable cup that opens the world of tea and chocolate (when it's available). Ladies loos are located upstairs up the weirdest staircase I've seen in a while. Disabled loo is on the upper ground floor, if you're wheelchair bound, you'll need to come in via the back. Service is fab. The staff are really friendly and helpful.

To be honest, I wouldn't take my dog to this place to eat off the floor. The staff was lazy. All I wanted was a hot drink, 20 minutes later they refined the Auto hot drinks machine, Then waited 10 minutes for a clean cup. It's pretty much the last decent pub grub you'll find in this beautiful Village. It's because of Wetherspoons all the other pubs has vanished just like the American Indians. Witherspoons isn't your friendly Village pub, It's to strip our Villages of all its competitors. This towns turning into a Ghost Town. War memorials on every corner. It's so pretty and a very friendly Villagers. It's a shame Wetherspoons is taking over. If you don't support Wetherspoons it will shut down & you will have your Village pubs back. Your council is to blame for the break up of your beautiful Village lifestyle. If your looking for honesty. Forget Wetherspoons food & buy Iceland It's cheaper & the 🍽 cutlery will be properly cleaned.

Visiting family in Wales and was looking forward to our lunch as had several previous pleasant stays at hotel. Flavoursome Sunday lunch was totally spoilt by lukewarm (this is being charitable) vegetables and further exacerbated by meat being served on cold plates. When asked by waitress if we enjoyed our meal on paying, we commented on cool food and her response was that it had been mentioned before by customers. Service was also very slow despite few diners present.
