The best restaurants serving British food in Wales

I used to love this restaurant years ago, so persuaded my husband whilst visiting Pontypridd after living away for many years to have lunch here. An absolute disaster!! The Manager looked stressed and didn’t know where to sit us (or the couple in front of us) and eventually we were shown to the area upstairs. A number of people arrived after us, we chose to sit at one of the tables laid with a nice white tablecloth. Eventually the waitress arrived -but moved us to a bare table explaining that the table we were at was for “afternoon tea” only! We were finally asked for our order after other people had given theirs. The couple in front of us having almost the same non-existent service-then walked out. We gave our order for our first and main course together with a request for wine to accompany it. After half an hour the waitress having served other tables then finally brought our two glasses of water …and gave them to the next table! We asked if we could at least have our previously ordered glasses of wine whilst waiting…. Still Nothing arrived! We then reluctantly decided to follow our fellow diners example and leave which is what we did. Such a disappointment! We will never go there again!

This was our second Christmas Lunch here, and both were very enjoyable. The food and service was good. We were totally satisfied with everything. Nothing much more to be said!

Rarely feel compelled to write a review, but loved my meal here. Seafood platter to share gorgeous, steak salad lovely and chocolate trio amazing. Seems a small thing, but chips were properly homemade too. Service ace. Only £4 for Butty Bach. My new fave place to eat.

I’ll tell you what it’s famous for 1. Awful food 2. London prices in a run down Vlllage 3. Half asleep Staff 4. Owner who blows his own trumpet more than people with the flu blow their nose.

I have been several times before , but this was out first visit for several months, sorry to say that it was not a good visit, after we ordered food and took our seats the tables did not seem clean and very sticky, we moved tables but they were all of a similar standard, we had a very long wait for our food I appreciate there were other customers but 40 mins for a breakfast!! We did ask how long it would be but the staff seemed totally uninterested, when it did turn up it was luke warm , we were so hungry we ate what we could and left

Our first time in Abersoch for a birthday weekend with friends. I researched to find good restaurants and on reading good reviews in our accommodation we booked The Cove. The menu was different to what we had found online and overall the choice was disappointing. There were only 2 other tables in that Saturday night and from the poor starter choice they didn't have the one 2 of us would have had, and we struggled to find an alternative. We were all disappointed by the choice of mains but even more disappointed by how very salty all the mains were. Following our feedback to the waitress we were given two starters but we'd much rather have had a good meal. We will not be going again.

Great food at reasonable prices for both adults and children. Lovely member of staff and so helpful. Not far out of Brecon.

Had visited this place before for afternoon teas but decided to have the breakfast , great choice and cooked to perfection . Bought another teapot as well !!

After somewhere for Sunday lunch with our multigenerational family, The Llewelyn was suggested. We weren’t sure what to expect, especially as we arrived at the very start of service and the restaurant was very quiet. Clearly used by guests of the hotel for breakfast and buffets also - which is fine - it initially felt a little uncomfortable as quite empty but as other guests joined us, the atmosphere lightened. The menu is limited for lunch - we think they may have previously had a carvery buffet? - with just roast main courses and a few pudding choices, plus restricted kids menu, but portions were very generous. As some of our party were vegetarians, we weren’t sure what the ‘vegetable and seed roast’ would be, but it was delicious. Alongside the main roast - which came with roast potatoes, red cabbage, carrots and parsnips plus a huge Yorkshire pudding - was a separate dish of lovely cauliflower cheese plus extra gravy. Another member of the party wasn’t a vegetarian, and we were quite surprised when another dish of cauliflower cheese came along with another jug of extra (vegetarian) gravy! We couldn’t manage all the extra veg between the three of us, even though it was delicious. We were too full for desert, but left happy and full of praise for The Llewelyn, definitely a Criccieth Sunday lunch special!

I ordered fried eggs on toast with baked beans. The toast was barely cooked, still bread in the middle. The two eggs had been griddle cooked I think. They were crispy underneath, and fringed with quite hard crispy edges. The whites were still undercooked in parts. Not good. I too picked up on the weird ambience, which I can't explain but noticed clearly.

If anyone is thinking about visiting Central Hotel Shotton wetherspoons I personally would not advise it .certain management are foul mouthed and bad mouth their customers to each other while you are there.plus they lie and back each other up when caught out and if you put in a complaint then they ban you. The place also needs a good clean from tables to toilets. There are certain statistics are great shame the bad ones will try and bring them down. Feel free to vape in there as people do even while sitting with a duty manager. Time they started obeying by the rules and the law. Including hygiene and wearing nets on hair and beards. It's not a family oriented pub as they allow certain people shouting and swearing almost every day. This is all true. They also fail in their duty of care as they let people get so drunk it's all about money. Customers are left to help the people who are so drunk and fall over.

Perfect retreat after a long day hiking. This village pub had very welcoming staff and locals. Food was fantastic with large portions. I had the very tasty chicken curry and my husband was definitely not disappointed with his portion of fish n chips. Serves swift and attentive.

Drove past this place so many times over the years on the way to Porthcawl.. To celebrate a birthday we went here for a Sunday dinner wow the food was amazing great value and staff was so nice great will be going again

A most welcoming local pub with an excellent chef who happily adapted starters into a main for me - veggie! Although menu catered for everyone. Mine hosts were so cheerful & hardworking - many could take a leaf out of their books! The place was absolutely buzzing with people of all ages - locals & holidaymakers having the time of their lives singing along to the live musician of the evening who sang everything from Beatles/John Denver to modern day...talented chap! We will definitely be back - next time we may stay if not during the summer months, perhaps for an Autumn/Spring walking holiday!

Great typical pub. Dog friendly. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Quiet enough to have a relax. Drinks only but reasonable pricing
