Visited for the very first time and had Sunday lunch that was outstanding. There was plenty of choice of starters, main courses and desserts but we opted for a 2 course meal of starter and main course at £22pp. My starter was lamb croquettes whilst hubby had prawn cocktail. Both were superb and plentiful. For main course I had turkey whilst hubby had lamb. The meals were very substantial and served with plenty of veg & extra gravy. The staff were all very friendly and attentive and the whole dining experience couldn't be faulted. We will be back.
The best vegan breakfast I’ve ever had. The chef not only understands flavour and presentation, he/she also understands texture. Hot chocolate is amazing too.
Haystack, Brynhyfryd – The OG Brunch Spot ❤️🔥
We’ve been obsessed with this place since day one, and it just keeps getting better! Their firm favourites never miss, and the monthly specials? Always top-tier 🤌🏼.
March’s specials have been an absolute Cymru delicacy dream 🏴 🐉 🔥
🥓 Bryn-stack – This is Welsh brunch on steroids. Two slices of toasted sourdough, grilled to perfection with Colliers mature cheddar and Gower Gold rarebit. Topped with crispy bacon, two fried eggs, and the most insanely good crispy cockles. Oh, and the laverbread hollandaise? Absolute gold 🏆. Every bite is rich, cheesy, and packed with proper Welsh flavour.
🧀 Cheesy Leek Loaded Tots – Crispy, golden tater tots smothered in a ridiculously good leek and cheese sauce made with Gower Gold and Colliers mature cheddar. Topped with crispy pancetta lardons and fresh parsley. Comfort food at its very best 🤤.
🍔 The Brunch Burger – A Haystack staple! Sausage patty, crispy bacon, chilli jam, halloumi, and a fried egg, all stacked inside a soft brioche bun. Served with tater tots, because of course 😮💨. Sweet, savoury, spicy – it just hits every single craving.
Everything was absolutely sublime – the bold, rich flavours of Wales in every bite. Cheese, leeks, cockles, laverbread – Haystack really gets it 💯.
Counting down the days until April’s specials drop! ⏳🔥

indulgent, Welsh, brunch, crispy, iconic
Great coffee shop .. I can't sell it enough you will understand if you visit .. coffee is very good, lush venue, great vibes .. I love coming here during a lunch break to switch off .. Highly recommended .. never eaten here but I often get food envy when food is brought out as it looks and smells delish!
What a wonderful pub. The bar staff were welcoming and friendly, we hadn't been here before but we will definitely be back. The band is amazing just waiting for the second half.
Food fantastic, great value. Staff were attentive and curtious without being " on your back" , due to the 2 hrs reservation slot.
Was very busy, but staff appeared unfazed.
A special mention for our server BRUNO.
Not a very good experience. Firstly we were overcharged by about £6 for some bacon. If we didn't query it, we wouldn't have known.
Thus is not the first time it's happened to us. I dread to think of how many others have been unknowingly overcharged like us.
No apology from the server.
Next, our coffees arrived and we're very cold. Had to send them back. Again no apology.
Our food was very standard, nothing to rave about. The bread certainly was not home made as advertised. Far too overpriced for what you get. Also, some politeness and curtesy wouldn't go amiss with the lady that served us. A little bit of care and a 'sorry' makes a big difference.
Absolutely amazing can't recommend this place enough.
The staff are helpful and attentive with out being over bearing, the menu is varied, there's something for everyone.
Really can't find any negatives about my visit or the food
The food was excellent and the staff were lovely. The range of food was great and the service was good. The surroundings could be improved or possibly updated as the place has looked the same for a while but the restaurant as a whole is really good.
