As time went on we decided that we would like to stay and have dinner here but indoors as it was getting cold. There were 14 of us and they managed to fit us into the restaurant area on the proviso we ordered quickly before the 6:30pm booking arrived and one table had to vacate by 8pm. The staff were great and we did not feel that we were being rushed even though some people had starters. A lot of us picked from the specials board and the food came out devine and the service was outstanding. The place was busy as it was the jazz/fringe festival weekend so the clientelle was of all ages (a bit annoying having babies/kids screaming thoughout the meal) including elderly who came in through the fire door for easy access. I would definitely recommend this place which is also dog friendly. This place is soo good that Seasick Steve was playing there that evening and eating his dinner in the pub part as we left.

Country pub way out in the back country. The Yelp map doesn't know where it is, but I'll tell you:…read moreit's right opposite the church which -is- shown on the map (and which is closed). The outside sign is in Welsh, Tafern Llew Goch. I would never have found this without the locals who took me there, and I have to say it was friendly, warm, and comfy. But I go to pubs for meals, and the menu wasn't entirely to my taste, a little precious and fussy: perhaps the chef is a little too upscale for the venue. I had a burger which was all right.

Now before you get all judgemental, lets have a little chat about the Wyndham. Yes, it was on Sky…read moreOnes roughest pubs ever and yes it does open at the crack of dawn. Yes the clientele is slightly on the rougher side, but really what do you expect in Merthyr Tydfil. But now, let me tell you a few things about the Wyndham that may come of surprise; the bar stock pretty much everything and anything, prices are god damn reasonable, the music is good and the place is generally very clean. So clean, customers even take their dogs there. Rough, scary looking beasts that once patted are as cute natured as a new born pup. The pub itself is big and airy and in general, a nice place to be. OK, the customers usually have no teeth and are completely plastered before the shops open but let me tell you now, what a bloody educating place the Wyndham is. Be warned, everyone will turn and look as you make your grand entrance, but once again, welcome to Wales! If your lucky enough to not get stared at and actually get involved with the conversation, i can guarantee, hands down, you'll have one of the best little afternoons of your life!

It posseses open fireplaces, and a choice of cozy tables for 2 or 4, and long tables for larger parties in the back. HRH Prince Charles, Dylan Thomas have both visited here, to sample the beer still brewed on the premesis. The food is pricey, but what a meal you get for your money! A huge plateful that would be enough for two! the most reasonable is the Roast dinners, approx £10 a head. The walls and ceilings of the Inn are covered in memorobilia, from horse brasses to farming tolls, there is enough to occupy your mind while you wait for your meal. On your way to the loo you will encounter a full suit of armour, and in the back are fish tanks, and a talking parrot!

This place was the closest to our AirBnB just down the road, and our go-to for dinner on our…read morearrival. They've painted this a garish pink since many of the photos online were taken, which has the pub in a far more professional looking white. Let's start with the positive: inside, this place is really pretty. The layout allows for lots of little nooks and crannies, with the restaurant seating towards the back after a small but functional pub. Exposed brickwork and beams lend the venue a classy feel. The service was attentive and friendly and food came out quickly. Dishes seemed reasonably priced with a 10oz sirloin steak topping the menu at £18. Unfortunately, there's less positive news to report. Firstly, drinks are not offered as part of the table service. Neither are guests provided with a drinks menu or wine list (despite many being available behind the bar). Instead, guests are required to get up, go to the bar, order their own drinks and carry them to the table. That's despite our table being laid out with wine glasses (and glasses for water we were never offered or provided). The menu itself is extensive enough, however half way through our dinner we spotted a promotion for a dish that wasn't included. It turned out to be included on a specials list we weren't provided with but was scrawled on a specials board out of sight to more or less every table. Talking of the table, ours was sticky and needed a good wash. Once we ordered our starters we were actually asked if we would like clean cutlery for the next course. That's a first. The food itself was inadequate. Our steak was over cooked (medium rare was closer to well done) and the chicken coach tasted dry and I strongly suspected had been cooked from frozen. We left feeling this venue has bags of potential. It's appointed well but everything from our entrance went downhill (with the exception of a couple of delicious deserts). It needn't be that way. If they changed their silly drinks policy, provided a full menu, washed down the tables, gave a little more care to the food and generally extended the quality of the building to the experience of their guests, this would be at least a four star place to spend time.
