The best restaurants serving British food in Merthyr Tydfil South Wales

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,

Fitted us in on a very busy Monday night - friendly service and nice grub. Great range of ales. Thanks, will definitely return!

Breakfast was a bit small Atmosphere was ruined by staff who were complaining about a man walking past with dogs Was out of place As the man was doing nothing wrong And could not defend himself Totally unprofessional from the staff would not recommend

Omg one of the best burgers I've ever tasted it was fresh home made with flavours to die for .. staff was so lovely and welcoming . Spotless clean will definitely be back

A quick visit while returning home, and found staff friendly, as we hadn't booked a table found a place in the snug. Chose pub classics of fish and chips, and lasagna, both did not disappoint, as the fish was moist and the lasagna had flavoursome beef.. and although only a brief visit would recommend the short diversion from the A roads.

No longer serve food but the welcome from the bar staff is always warm. Use this as my local and wouldn't go anywhere else.

We went here Wednesday 16th April evening, me and my wife, I had curry half n half, and my wife had corned beef pie, mash and peas, we really enjoyed the meals, good portions, and lovely staff, plenty of selection of drinks, all in all a good visit?

Had a lovely meal at the nant ddu lodge tonight. Havnt visited for many years but I was pleasantly surprised.we will be back x

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.

Food was awful, hard chips and cold hard pie, expensive for size of meal, child’s portion. Very disappointing, wouldn’t go here again

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish! I originally started off speaking to a lovely lady called Peggy and then also her partner and other family members looking to book our works Christmas party and from the very beginning it was done with ease, they gave us everything we wanted. The room was decorated so pretty, the singer was so good, the staff were all lovely and so accommodating and the buffet was delicious! Thank you so much to everyone at the guest keen for making our night so lovely 🎄❄️

Booked a takeaway as we got married and literally wanted a chilled out xmas day. I have been having food here fro 20 plus years and although it's not the same i thought we would have xmas takeaway easier all around. Collected xmas eve small queue took home stored correctly delivered one to my mother. Christmas morning i tried to dish up and was met by the worst dinner possible. The smell of vinegar hit you as you opened the tray. All our dinners ruined rang boxing day to be told only one of 400 plus who had complained and my fault for not storing correctly. Manager available at 12:30. Drove over 2pm no manger and not replying to her staff. Extremely poor overall as one our xmas dinner was ruined and we had no food shop due to wedding and illness. What happens to family's who may have no been able to replace / afford this waste. Eventually had a refund again not manager decision. I will never return again. Disgusting and maybe more careful off how veg is stored / cooler held as it was defo the veg that fermented the whole tray bad management with no suppprt for frontline staff who had to deal with this today

Woman that works there spends more time outside smoking than in the shop working , enough to put you off your grub before you enter the shop

Table for 2. Food very poor, over cooked and poorly presented. Nice lady serving but food took ages. Half hour plus for main meal to come out then another half hour waiting for my 6 year old to get a brownie although they did give him spoon to wait with, we couldn’t wait any longer so we left and took him to McDonald’s instead. Over hour and half in restaurant for a poor burger and chips

Went on a Sunday afternoon. Was very quiet. Food and drink was served quickly and exactly as expected for Wetherspoons. Some parts of the pub could do with a good clean such as the stairs.
