The best restaurants in Bryntirion, Laleston and Merthyr Mawr Bridgend South Wales

Went here for Sunday lunch, first time of visiting and was very impressed. The service was quick and polite and the food was amazing! Would recommend it and will visit again.

What a treat what a stunning building this is. Went out for my parents anniversary and this was the perfect location they have been here many times before but this is a first for us. The food was so wonderful. I would highly recommend anybody coming here for food. We had a few cocktails. They were extremely nice a little bit expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Wonderful food from an adventurous menu in a wonderful setting - quiet and relaxed with an oldy world feeling.

First visit yesterday after recommendation from family. What a lovely place...very impressed with the food..one of us had the full breakfast..the other had the breakfast wrap...both lovely. The decor very nice...friendly atmosphere and the staff very pleasant...Will definitely visit again...well done all .

A very nice place to visit and stay. One room can be used for a small conference room, Very well preserved building dating back to the 1500's. Just mind your head. I visited here as I will be photographing a wedding soon. Very friendly staff

Amazing food one of the best Indians about, reasonably priced and good deals on a Tuesday.

Very very disappointed had the £26 2 course meal the chicken wings had no meat on them and could not be constituted as a meal!! We chose medallions in a garlic mushroom sauce. After a wait of 1/2hr the medallions arrived in a pepper sauce and the chips were obviously warmed up as most of them were dehydrated and inedible. Told the waitress who said we could change them but that would be another wait of 1/2hr we said no but please let the manager and the kitchen know that we were not happy which was totally ignored!!! Will not be going back any time soon.

Fantastic fish and chips. But very expensive could have bought a meal for the same price but great for a treat.

Wow... what an amazing place, super helpful friendly staff, fantastic atmosphere, great prices and super impressive service. Met up with some friends after a long COVID lockdown and wow so glad we went here absolutely brilliant, will definitely be going back. Can’t fault and well recommended.

Eight of us visited here for a mid week birthday meal. We all had a fabulous meal at a reasonable price. A big variety on the menu along with the specials board. Nothing was too much trouble for our waitress, who is working while at college. We were offered extra chips and we were also given cream to go with a birthday cake we had brought ourselves. The lady in the kitchen was fab too, nothing was too much trouble and the food was superb. I will definitely be visiting again.

Staying at the hotel next door for a wedding but popped in the mackworth arms for drinks however food smelt so good decided to have a meal first. It didn’t disappoint! Pub is so very cosy and welcoming. All the staff were so accommodating when we hadn’t booked but they fitted us in. Food was clearly homemade and delicious! We will be back soon to sample more.

Called in with mates had a few beers and food. Very good value for money the staff were very helpfull

Had a meal for two mid afternoon on a week day. Very slow service at the bar when firstly ordering drinks and secondly food and it wasn't busy. Sticky dirty menus could do with a good wipe. I had difficulty ordering the food as person taking the order didn't seem to understand how the till/order system worked and tried overcharging me by £6. I ordered Piri Piri chicken for two. It arrived fairly promptly and was pretty average apart from the sauce on the chicken. No idea what it was - an orangey/red colour not much taste to it - but definitely not Piri Piri. No staff member came along after we were served to check if all was ok. Our used/dirty plates sat in front of us for about half an hour so we placed them on the end of the bar. They were still there, about 3 metres from the kitchen entrance, when we left half an hour later! We were sat looking out at the smoking area which was gross. Overflowing ashtrays - like a week's worth - and filthy tables, moved our chairs so we were not facing it. No objection to there being a smoking area but someone i.e. staff should be bothered to keep it clean. Not sure what has happened to this pub as I have had numerous enjoyable meals there in the past but not been for about 9 months. There is definitely a change in service standard and general atmosphere. Will not be visiting again.

Paid 15 pound for a special cod, it was large in length but thinner that the fastest chips so half was not enable as it was too well cooked. The fish that I could eat was ok but not worth the money. The chips were ok. I can not understand why it’s so busy as the food was very poor. Looking at the reviews the owners do not care as they seem to make no effort. Will not return 30 pounds for two fish and chips is very expensive.
