The best restaurants in Vaynor Merthyr Tydfil South Wales

We reserved a table as lunchtime can be very busy. We ordered Latte and Capuchins very hot and good size cup. Ham toastie good size portion plenty of Ham inside. Hot baguette with chicken and mayo plenty of chicken and side plate of salad. Staff very friendly nothing too much trouble staff name is Gemma always goes above and beyond to ensure all customers have a great experience. Highly recommend a visit you won’t be disappointed.

Never been here I just want google Maps points to level up.

Lovely Sunday lunch, well cooked fresh vegetables, proper roast potatoes and tasty gravy. Gorgeous dessert . We travelled 30miles to this restaurant on a rscommendation and it was worth it ,will be going again soon

Quiet afternoon lunch, nice staff,

Always lovely food and great service. Or favourite Chinese takeaway.

Made a booking then when turned up the restaurant was closed without any notice

A great old style pub. I had the beef madras which I asked them to spice up and it was one of the best pub curries I've ever had. My partner had a streak and she was equally pleased. Friendly barmaid so all in all a good recommendation

Called in on the off chance (no booking!) they could 'feed' a hungry family of five - no problem and lots of warm welcoming smiles. Good menu with wide selection of meals to suit all tastes and requirements. Orders placed and drinks acquired we settled into the well decorated and warm surroundings. Food arrived in due course and all the meals ordered were exceptionally good. The Aberglais Chicken was simply outstanding (apparently it is a very popular order - not surprising!!) Desserts were home made and again were superb. A really superb end to our stay in the area. Thank you for making us so very welcome and giving us the exceptional service you all did. Much appreciated. whilst having our meal the phone kept ringing with people trying to book ahead - some were successful but a number were told that the particular evening and time they requested was not available - so book well ahead if you can,

The Drovers is a quintessential village pub with a fine history offering good quality meals and snacks plus a wide range of beers in a cosy and attractive environment. Landlady Cherryl offers a warm welcome and living in the village is a font of knowledge on local attractions

This place is full of drug users and the service is really poor. The manager is rude and needs a lesson in customer service. Avoid!

First of all, the food we had was lovely. It was for Mother’s Day so we had Sunday lunch and the beef and lamb were amazing. However, we were provided one bowl of mixed veg between 4 adults and 1 child. After around 30 minutes, guests arrived at the table behind us and they were offered cauliflower cheese, informing that it was just being made by the chef. I think this isn’t very fair, booking a Mother’s Day meal and spending the money we did, all the food should have been cooked and offered to all, not cooked half way through our meal for guests who had booked 30 minutes later than us. When asked about this, the reply was simply that they’d only just put the cauliflower cheese on and that the delivery was later. Also, on the menu there was a crab bruschetta offered for starter, which again was lovely, but after this was all eaten and we were eating my dessert, a waitress (not her fault) came over to inform that they forgot to add the prices to the menu to inform that if you had the crab bruschetta, it was an extra £4. On the menu, there were set costs of a one course, two and three course meal, with no extra charges stated. When asked about this again, the reply we received was that they forgot to change the menu and add the additional cost and tried to charge us extra even though we had already eaten and were on desserts. I understand mistakes happen, but you’d think for Mother’s Day there would be a bit more organisation and that they would not try to charge for their mistake even though the meals were already eaten. Again the food was lovely, just no organisation, especially for Mother’s Day and a meal that costs a little more, there should have been more organisation. I think there are new owners and I’ve been here a few years ago and it was absolutely amazing, but not so great now. Would not recommend sorry.

Always excellent, highly recommended 👌

Ordered a delivery which was missing a main item. Also delivered a wrong order which I couldn't eat. Called the restaurant and they delivered the missing item but did not deliver the correct meal which they said they would. This is the second time our order as been incorrect. Honestly, it's not rocket science to get a simple order right. As long has they get their money it's ok by the looks of it!

Excellent food had fish chips and mushy peas all very nice too much for me to finish too. Two cups of decent tea as well all for £12. I’m not local but just popped in as it was lunchtime glad I did , place seemed busy but staff were all friendly and on top of things. I’ve noticed that the Tripadvisor description notes this place as closed? I’ve tried adding a new place so if it works I’ll do the review again. Anyway thank you . Great food and hope to visit again sometime
