The best restaurants serving British food in Llantarnam Torfaen South Wales

I have come here as I NEED to tell others how good their cakes are. They’re by far and large, the best cakes and brownies I’ve had in Cwmbran. I’ve lived in Cwmbran all my life and this has easily been the best cakes and puddings I’ve had from a coffee shop. There’s a nice simple elegance to their cakes without being gluttonous and piling on too much. I implore people come here and try their homely abode!!!

Lovely, clean cafe with welcoming staff. Dog also made to feel welcome. Food was fab - pancake stacks were delicious. Highly recommend

Delicious afternoon tea. Tasty sandwiches, delicious scones and cakes. Will visit again soon. Good value.

Since Clare has been away the food is not the best, will go elsewhere until Clare is back and the staff are not so rude, Food was dry and service not the best to be honest.

Enjoyed a lovely breakfast here this week. I’ve actually been a few times and it’s always been good. The service feels like whomever is hiring or training the staff, really wants them to care about their customers. Both of us enjoyed our eggs benedict and watermelon iced tea. The eggs were perfect and runny. Yum. We noticed that there is a happy hour with cocktails, so we might try that next time!

We were served by a very polite, helpful young lady named Abbie. She was so well spoken and was extremely helpful to us by showing us where the nearest toilets were and that we had everything we had ordered.

Big thanks to Sian for always being so friendly and welcoming..

Staff friendly but really need some training. Dining room pretty empty despite insistence on pre-booking a table. No atmosphere, poorly laid out and stark lighting. Tables laid with unlit candles and redundant side plates. We'd booked a week in advance online advising of gartlic sensitivity. Staff reacted with surprise and dismay to this, weren't sure they could accomodate it. We explained that it's not an anaphalatic shock allergy, just that including garlic in my food causes an upset stomach which I'd rather avoid, but Maitre D looked really shocked and scared at the news. Not a great start. We were seated on one side of a round table big enough for 6 - 8. We ordered a bottle of white wine which was brought already open, and plonked on the far side of the table in a cooler - both bottle and cooler were at room temperature and we had to stand to reach the bottle - no chance to check it was what we'd ordered, no offer to taste or pour. No bread offered. Husband's deep-fried starter was okay, as was my prawn cocktail (as expected, tasted like it came from a supermarket ready made tub), but served with a chunk of iceberg lettuce (not shredded) and no bread and butter. My main course was pretty good, panfried fillet of bream or bass (can't recall), and husband's burger was also okay - but the string fries were cold and flabby, quite inedible. Unused side plates removed before dessert offered, and I can't remember what the desserts were like, so neither awful nor fabulous. The next evening's meal in the bar was 100% better in every aspect. Maybe there was someone different in the kitchen, and perhaps the bar staff are more experienced than the younger people working in the restaurant.

The food was amazing and great service the staff was kind helpful and the food came quickly and it was lovely the price of the food was also very affordable and great to go with family and friends for breakfast lunch or even dinner

Lovely and clean. Nisha served me and pulled a lovely pint with a friendly smile. Very happy with the service and would happily return.

We had a fantastic experience at the Three Blackbirds — from the moment we walked in, the service was warm and attentive. The atmosphere is charming and welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious — hearty, well-prepared, and full of flavor. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the cooking and the customer experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great meal in a relaxed pub setting. We’ll definitely be back!

Early breakfast on Saturday, the pub was relatively quiet, but service was good, and food was nice, bit of a que for the coffee machine.

We come here often. It’s always hit and miss as to the food and service you seem to recieve. I feel that to much time and effort is spent serving takeaway customers, than people sitting down to eat (and paying nearly double may I add). Expensive for fish and chips, and sometimes quite dirty if staff are busy.

Dirty tables,dirty floor,dirty toilet.Such a shame as it's newly opened with attractive decor and furnishings.With so many cafes in Cwmbran they need to up their game.

Went to Warren's bakery and had a cream tea. When it came,there was no tea/drink. I went back to the til to ask and apparently there is no drink included! I said surely then a cream tea with no tea is just a scone? Franchise need a bit of schooling on what a cream tea is! On looking in the window afterwards there was a sign that said drinks were extra, but again don't advertise it as a cream tea then! Clue is in the name really 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
