Just had a pint of Leffe (£4.22), service fine, it was half full on a Wednesday afternoon. Toilets tidy and clean, as usual for Wetherspoons.

Ordered a pannini the same time as the rest of my family after waiting 25 minutes. Did niot arrive! Called waitress over to see where is was. They had obviously forgotten about it. It then arrived a few minutes later but was not what I was expecting. Did nit look anything like a pannini. Called manager over she said that's what all the pannini the weathespoons serve look like. Funny that as I've been in several and they don't look like baguettes to me. Though she continued to argue the fact even after me showing her a picture of them on the wetherspoons website!. Don't seem to be able to upload a photo but it looked like a baguette and was rock hard.

The person who served my friend and I was really courteous and friendly when we were being served, but I was amazed that there were no other staff serving and helping this lady. So my complaint is that there should be more than 1 or 2 behind the bar to help the person that served us. She looked worn out serving everyone at the bar. Her name was Eleanor and she was so courteous, a credit as a Wetherspoon employee.

The App in Action! I had the amusing experience of ordering from the App when in full sight of the bar! The idea is to reduce congestion at the bar and app orders should be given priority! As I placed my order I watched as 6 people went to the bar and got served! I waited a further 5 minutes and chased up my order with one of the servers who kindly asked me to wait a minute whilst my beer was placed on the bar tantalising in sight (I was thirsty) waiting for another server to bring aforementioned beer to the table! In the end I cracked and said “can I just take it?” So much for technology 🦐

Every time I visit here it looks like a culinary bomb has gone off , no one clearing tables, wiping and sanitising them with an adequate wipe , These omissions in care are deeply damaging to this pub, as a grubby ill-mantained foodie pub is not a good or inviting look. Also ordered on app( due to how busy it was) for a quick pint ,waited 25 mins ,went to search for it only to be told ,we were really busy ! I should have joined the free for all que for the bar,I'd have been served more quickly I'm sure . In summery, lack of staff, and designated table cleaners churning over tables in a clean efficient way spoiled this good pub. Scrimping on staff is a false economy . Rant over !

Met a few mates here recently. The two meals we had were freezing cold and sent back! They can even use a microwave to heat food! The person's coming out of the kitchen looked like rag bags, not chefs! Also some of the patrons were drunk, swearing and the Staff seemed oblivious to the matter. Would I go again never!

I’ve been here three times now and it’s the same every single time for food. The place is absolutely disgusting and THEE last time I go here for food. As soon as you walk in, dishes everywhere and tables not cleared or wiped down everytime, the food is terrible!!! I’ve had a super dry burger which felt and tasted like I was chewing rubber, chicken that was super dry and a caramel cake with custard that was harder than a brick where they completely burnt it. They have currently closed some Weatherspoons location and to be honest, it wouldn’t be a shame if this went either!!! The place is an absolute dive!!! Terrible customer service, food is disgusting and the place is extremely unhygienic with dishes piled up over filthy tables.

Visit mostly on weekday evenings, so it's generally quiet, relaxed atmosphere. One issue with ordering food is some of the tables don't have numbers on, but food is always served quick and is always hot.

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.

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.

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.

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.
