The best restaurants serving British food in Merthyr Tydfil South Wales

Third time here and food is amazing, atmosphere is divine and staff are very friendly. Would highly recommend to others

Dogs barking non stop, full of kids swearing. Jacket potato Tuna mayo I ordered just came as tuna with no mayo. Jacket was dry as a bone why they didn't put butter on it ill never no. won't be going back.

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

Lovely place, super friendly staff.

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 🎄❄️

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

£21 for a tiny portion of a “mixed grill”, rats outside and the managers just said “yeah we know about that” not seeming to be bothered. No salad at the salad bar, never complain but this is baddddd

Booked here weeks in advance for mothers day with the family. We all were there ontime and were shown to our table. That's where the good stops really. We queued for over half an hour to 40 minutes for the carvery. It was absolutely mayhem. Over the years we have been to Bessemer many many time and other carverys. I have to say this was the worst. The food itself was ok. The meat was delicious. It's the overall experience that let this review down. We were left at our seats at the table for ages before we got up ourselves and went to the bar and asked what do we do next. Does some 1 come and tell you to go to the carvery or do you jus go there or whatever. We were told by the lady attending the bar that we could go and queue ourselves which we did. The queue was unbelievable. People were sat at their tables eating food and we were standing rite there at their table waitn in the queue making us feeling very awkward and indeed the people eating felt really uncomfortable I am sure. Took ages to get to the actual carvery. Then once we had the carvery on our plates it was an obstacle course to get back through the crowd ( because that's what it was a crowd)back to our table. People coughing and spluttering and rubbing against us while we carried our plate back. It was horrible there today. Way to many people booked in for 1 time. There has to be a better system put in place for queuing for the carvery. There are other places call you up pretty much table by table. And every 1 we spoke to at the queue agreed it was appalling today. Poor staff didn know wether they were coming or going. This needs to be looked into so this situation does not happen again.

Good food friendly staff was different being able to have vegetables with a jacket potato
