I actually quite liked this little Irish themed pub. Never judge a book by its cover - that motto…read morecertainly applies to this place, have to admit the exterior is very shabby looking and did not look inviting to the passerby. Which is a shame really because this place is central to Port Talbot situated a stones throw away from the Aberafan shopping centre and the Princess Royal Theatre which makes it an ideal watering hole conveniently placed. However once inside the premises, the interior is in a lot better condition. The staff & locals are quite friendly. I enjoyed a pint of the new Guinness Surge there on my visit. The interior boasts Sky TV & Telextext on large flast screens, jukebox, a pool table and in one corner one of those boxing arcade type machines (the ones that determines the strength or weight of your punch) you would normally see at a funfair. The walls are painted a dark green, with a few pictures on the wall, this coupled with the shamrock motif on the windows drive home the Irish theme yet further. I would heartily recommend a visit even if only for a swift cheeky pint.

Went for lunch here today - the first time we'd even been inside despite living only 5 miles away…read more We were amazed at how nice it was as most of the other pubs in the area are very poor and I certainly wouldn't recommend them (like The Colliers for instance which has disappointed us in several ways each time we've been there). However the Rolling Mill was very pleasant and welcoming, clean and comfortable. The landlord was friendly, as was the young woman who served at the tables in the dining room. Beers on offer include John Smith's, Brains Dark, Stella Artois, Strongbow and Carlsburg. There's a small area with a wide-screen television beside the bar, with windows over the front of the pub, and a dining room at the back overlooking a beer garden with nice views. (Another room contained a pool table, but we didn't go in there) The dining room was very comfortable, with photos of celebrities who've eaten there. The real surprise was the food; I can honestly say you get more for your money here as the meals are huge - but the prices are no more than in other pubs, indeed less expensive than many. There's a great choice, including several vegetarian dishes. We can personally recommend the veggie curry (£6.25) which comes with rice, or chips, jacket potato, or rice and chips. The evening menu is slightly different, and the Sunday menu varies as well. All in all, a great pub, and one we will be visiting again soon!

We had a fab 18th Birthday meal at the rolling mill this evening and a lovely time was had by all!…read moreThe staff were amazing very helpful! And the food was absolutely fab! Everyone enjoyed it! I would recommend the rolling mill to all!!!! Thank you

This place is not a bad little boozer. Cannot vouch for the food or live entertainment as I have…read morenever sampled them. Which reminds me of the motto emblazoned abouve the bar "There are no strangers here only friends we have not met yet", which is quite a welcoming sign which befits the pubs name. The pubs is tastefully furnished, clean & has some nice movie and sporting pictures dotted around its decor. Also like the two pub crawl posters of Cardiff & Swansea on the walls. Also has several flat screen TVs. Ther is a good selction of ales available and on my visit had a rather good pint of Brains Dark Smooth which I recommend as a personal choice. Well worth checking out & having a look.

The room was very comfortable, and quite. Food was excellent, my complaints to the chef. The local people that came to the hotel for a drink were very friendly. And we had a lovely stay at this lovely old hotel. We enjoyed it so much that I intend to rebook for next years festive break. I would recommend the twelve knights to anyone wishing to stay for a night or two. Again many thanks to the manager, and staff, and we look forward to seeing you again, at the festive period.
