The best restaurants serving British food in South Wales

Visited again 4/8/24. Our Calamari and home made soup starters were really good. The carvery meat and all vegetables were cooked beautifully and plenty of choice. Although it was very busy the service was efficient with no wait and also no feeling of being rushed. The young man who looked after us was friendly and professional - as were all the staff there. Excellent value for money. If you've not been then try it. You won't be disappointed.

My younger brother just got married her absolutely amazing the host are great they sorted everything out. Nothing was to much trouble real family friendly atmosphere 100% recommend

Just popped in having heard this venue was amazing. Such a friendly welcome, so homely and comfortable. The menu had lots to offer, jacket potatoes, sandwiches and cakes to die for. The selection was vegan and vegetarian suitable. I had tea, which was served with a tea strainer as it was real tea leaves, in quaint china tea pot with milk in cow shaped jug and lovely bone china tea cup and saucer. I also chose raspberry and chocolate cake, which was moist, flavourful and scrumptious. The rest of the area was like a gift shop/antique shop, a surprise around every corner. In the other part is a dog grooming parlour which is a bonus as the restaurant is dog friendly and has its own dog menu !

Picked up an afternoon cream tea for my parent’s wedding anniversary. Very good quality and value for money.

We had the best lunch we had had for ages, delicious fresh local produce, cooked with real skill and creativity. We both had sea bream with a fabulous creamy sauce with cockles and leek. Very friendly service. Would strongly recommend this place!

Wonderful coffee to takeaway 7 walk through the park, in the autumn sunshine. I ordered a decaf flat white to takeaway. It was delicious, and I can be fussy about a flat white! Lovely velvety texture and just the right mix of coffee to milk.

I had my wedding reception here. The staff were amazing, they set up the tables perfectly. The food was cooked on site and it was lovely. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, they were very accommodating.

We found this place at the end of the promenade, it did not look appealing from the outside but the food was great and the lady super friendly. Highly recommended if you want a simple but tasty breakfast

Well where do I start? I pulled up Outside “The Fork and Tune”, my first impression was this is an old Victorian pub in what looks like an old mining village but as I would soon find out it is so much more! I was welcomed by the Lovely Anja, who promptly showed us to our rooms (rooms being a understatement). Our rooms turned out to be what can only be described as a little apartment that would put most major city boutique hotels to shame. The decor was incredible with an eye for detail that is just staggering. The shower rooms are class and tasteful while being completely practical. We had a small kitchen area that had everything you could need for a stay with every utensil available. Now onto the Bed ….. only issue with the bed I can strain to think of, is its just to hard to want to get out of in the morning! No expense has been spared on that mattress. The whole venue is remarkable, from the friendly, welcoming owners, staff & clientele to the incredible venue its self. The outside area gives you views of the Welsh mountains and the bar has a quirky appearance that just keeps giving. If I had to describe The Fork & Tune in one sentence I would say “ Its like someone has picked up the legendary bars of Camden in the 90s (bars that inspired artist like Amy Winehouse, Blur and the legendary dance scene) and dropped one right in the middle of the Welsh countryside. I highly recommend this magical place. If you not only want somewhere to lay your head but also an experience that could just be the surprising highlight of your trip, then check this place out!

What a fabulous coffee shop in the middle of our local town. My husband and myself sat in the window, and talked about what a real gem it is. The atmosphere is good, the coffee is amazing and the staff are really attentive. Keep doing what you are doing. We love it.

Visito aquí a menudo y hay una razón por la que salí en un día ventoso para caminar los 10 minutos allí. Las mujeres encantadoras que trabajan allí claramente tienen una pasión y orgullo por la deliciosa comida saludable. Hecho para sentirme bienvenido tan pronto como entro, me dan los especiales de hoy y ofrezco una degustación de deliciosa sopa de champiñones. Me decanté por una envoltura italiana y pastinaca y pastel de jengibre, ambos deliciosos y cuidadosamente preparados. ¡Recomendaría esta pequeña joya a cualquiera!

Called into the Bethel Chapel Cafe before watching the rugby match at Ponty. We had a really good and filling breakfast for a very reasonable price. The chapel itself is undergoing a sympathetic restoration and your custom will help this important work. Good food, interesting venue and brilliant friendly staff. Ideal for walkers and cyclists or just a walk around Ponty.

Really nice cafe beautifully presented with wonderful polite staff. Everything freahly cooked to order. A real gem. Definitely popping in again.

I stopped at this CAFE on a really long bike ride and the staff were really friendly, it was that typical Welsh hospitality. Only had a coffee and a fizzy pop but would absolutely recommend anybody else to come here on their bike rides. There was ample seating outside and you could easily see your bike through the window when you went inside to order. Thanks 😊
