The best restaurants serving British food in Wales

Great food, drinks and atmosphere. A special thank you to Connor who was fantastic and provided a great service. Recommend the chicken tikka masala and the cheeseburger loaded fries 😍

Delivery time kept getting extended. We were first told 5:50pm but it was eventually delivered at 6:34pm

Don't waste your money awful gone down hill 😡

Warm, friendly, happy place to eat, meet friends and enjoy the fabulous views. Freshly cooked food of quality produced with care and skill. Love this place. Hop and his team have created a beautiful welcoming bar, cafe, restaurant and now a cosy small cinema area.

Just met a friend for coffee. Had to send it back as it tasted nasty. Changed it to hot chocolate. New owners and a refurbished Craigside soon. Can’t wait

Very disappointing. The “grill”, shall we say more of a cafe is right to a beautiful farm shop. On the sign it shows burger, £7.50 and add a bowl of chips for £4.00 or a burger and chips for £14.95 (strange to do this when it works out cheaper to do the separate option) The burger arrives, small froze burger inside an empty bread roll. No salad, no cheese and looking very sorry for itself. The chips were ok, chip fat fryer type ones so sadly a taste of fat was present. Very disappointed and definitely not worth the money and for the first time in years I’ve really regretted going somewhere.

We booked here for a sunday dinner and it was beautiful very large portions, beautifully cooked and warm. Nice range of vegetables with even a creamy leek addition which was unexpected but lovely. My husband had the Black Forest gateau for afters and loved that also.

When you order a ‘Chocolate and salted caramel fondue sharing platter’ as a desert, you expect fondue do you not? Maybe it’s just me but what I don’t expect is a pot of chocolate ice cream sauce and a pot of strawberry ice cream sauce? This is not FONDUE. Nor is it salted caramel for that matter of fact. We were extremely disappointed having paid £12.49 to receive such a lame version of what looked a scrumptious picture on the menu. Rest of the food we had was ok to be fair, nothing to shout about but what you’d expect, but this was such a let down that I have no choice but to mark you right down.

Perfectly decent for a chain pub. Two nations for £18 makes it good value, with kids meal deals. We fed a family of 6 for less than £10 a head with drinks. It's definitely the kind of place where you're better off on the grill because that's what they do most regularly.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear, I was taking some friends from Canada all around Snowdonia to see the sights and experience Welsh hospitality. Being welsh myself I am incredibly proud of my country. Sadly the cafe at the top of the horseshoe pass was closed, where I explained that I always get friendly service with plain wholesome food. It was 19.30 and sadly not many places were open on our journey back from the very North of Wales. I had passed here many times and couldn't believe our luck that it was open.....that is where our excitement ended. I was in pain from the walking and driving to and fro, and so my friend went in to enquire if they were still serving food. "we shut at 8" came the reply. So they quickly beckoned me in and order we did. To say that the middle aged female serving would turn milk sour was an understatement. We ordered plaice and chips....there were three of us. "we only have 2 fish" came the surly reply. Ok we will have the steak and ale pie and the 2 fish please we said. No acknowledgement, no please or thank you, so extra loudly I said "Diolch yn fawr cariad"hoping that she would at least give a smile if she was a fellow welsh person. Nope, not a crack. I immediately thought of a female Basil Fawlty. "are you sitting here or in the restaurant part" she enquired in a "I wish you would go away" kind of tone. So taking the initiative we moved into the restaurant area, where another group of Americans attempted their ordering.....poor things we thought. Out came the fish and chips (clearly frozen beforehand, but fair play they were cooked well and frankly cardboard would have tasted good, as we were very very hungry). The Pie....well, it was obviously again taken from the freezer. Which to be honest I get that, you cannot rely on custom so fresh would be impossible to achieve. BUT, that does not give the excuse for being miserable and downright rude. My visitors had not experienced this for the whole of our trip and have been greeted by my fellow welshmen with interest and friendly chat. I would avoid this place like the plague, I certainly will not be bringing foreign visitors again and suggest that maybe the staff attend some training on customer relations. It costs nothing to smile and be polite for me "manners maketh man". No wonder the place looks run down, if you treat customers like this then word will get around. Give up now, put it up for sale and sell it to someone who is interested in making some money as I am fairly sure people would flock around if you were a little cleaner and friendlier.

Amazing little cafe very friendly staff food was amazing and well priced drinks from the soda machine were lovely especially the lady at the counter so polite and helpful made visiting brilliant the must go to place for food in Cwmbran!

Our recent visit left much to be desired, marred by a series of disheartening lapses in both service and ambiance. To begin, the individual who took our order seemed bewildered by the mere mention of alternative milk—a basic expectation in today’s dining standards. The beverage selection was equally uninspiring. To our dismay, Earl Grey, along with any other quality teas, was notably absent, replaced instead by the most pedestrian option: Tetley. The vegetarian breakfast was a particular letdown—served cold and woefully undercooked. Such careless preparation only compounded the disappointment. The service was mechanical at best, with staff who appeared disinterested, their lack of enthusiasm perhaps reflective of the dreary weather outside. The atmosphere was further dampened by an uninspired music playlist and insufficient lighting, which together created a rather bleak dining environment. While the service was notably swift, one couldn't help but feel that this efficiency came at the expense of quality and care—an unfortunate trade-off. That’s okay. It did the job :)

This has really gone downhill in recent times - once our supermarket of choice for a pre-shopping breakfast but not any more. Despite the fact that it had only just opened for the day, we struggled to find a clean table with most covered in crumbs and other food debris and remnants of the previous day's newspapers scattered across windowsills. The big breakfast were particularly disappointing for the £8 charge - limp bacon, watery scrambled egg, soggy hash browns and toast that was so anaemic it was probably made using the light of someone's phone. And considering the fifteen minute wait, none of it was particularly hot. Additionally, the soft-drink machine only seemed to be dispensing room temperature, barely fizzy drinks. Will definitely be trying somewhere else next time.

Came here for lunch after a lovely time at the beach. Very poor menu choices, absolutely no vegetarian options which is a real oversight. Had the fish burger and it was very average and expensive for what it was. I asked for ketchup and the waitress said it would be an extra 40p, which for a pub seems unfair and a bit cheap on their part. Just offer bottles for the table. The Astro turf garden outside was tacky and sad, and overall I wouldn’t recommend this place. Sad because it’s prime location. It should offer a nice range of sandwiches at a better price point and it could be on to a winner.

Ordered a breakfast for delivery by Uber at 7.25am order arrived at 8.33am stone cold and totally inedible. I work from home every now and then and thought i would treat myself to a McDonalds delivery service. Wish i hadn't bothered as stated above food was cold, i have no idea when i live 2 miles away how it took an HOUR to be delivered the food was obvisouly cooked when the order was placed and just sat around, even my hot drink was tepid. Complained to Uber total waste of time as they think its acceptable to deliver cold food, waste of money, lesson for today?? go to Greggs instead it seems as their sales have soared and they have overtaken McDonalds in the breakfast front your much better off spending your money there, i won't be using this service again as this isn't the first time i have had sub-standard food.
