Booked a table for 6.45pm for 3 people, arrived at 6.48pm (I know we were 3 mins late). As soon as we walked through the door the waitress said that we would have to order straight away as they had a large table coming in at 7pm. We were shown to our table where the waitress asked for our drinks order which we gave. Over the next 9 minutes the waitress came over 3 times to ask if we were ready to order, we weren’t ready to order by this time obviously as we had only sat down 9 minutes before hand. Then she came over again to tell us if we didn’t order now there would be over an hour wait for food. We asked why they didn’t tell us this when we booked and she said it wasn’t her that took the call. She said that if we weren’t late then it would have been fine, I explained that we were 3 minutes late, if we were really late I would have understood. Even if we would have arrived early, we probably still would have had to order within about 5 minutes of arriving. The whole thing made us feel uneasy and that we weren’t really welcome at the restaurant. We left without having food or drinks. A real disappointment. The ‘big table’ that was coming in still hadn’t arrived by 7.08pm so I’m wondering if they all had to order within the 5 minute time frame too? It’s a shame that this has happened, as we were trying it again, being local, after the last time we came a few years ago and there was a bug in my food that had obviously been cooked in the sauce. We will definitely not ever return here again or recommend

Fantastic food. Reasonable prices. Service was spot on. Can't fault it really. Highly recommended.

Last year 2022 did the group Christmas Dinner, it was £15 each and superb. The chef made an effort, the brussels even had a sweet glaze. The place was buzzing then. This year, 2023, went on the same day, same time, the place was dead, silent. The background music was intermittent but mostly not there, giving the atmosphere of a morgue. The food itself was an average carvery roast, lots of it but now £20 each. The chef was obviously different and could only produce an average meal.

Fab food if you want a good meal. Brillant price and food service go here. We go every year festive menu it never disappoints us.

Excellent Sunday lunch with the family, the food was good and there desserts were very tasty.

Booked in for a party of 16 people. We had pre-ordered and the food was served to all of us within a couple of minutes so no-one was left waiting whilst others were eating.Menu options are typical pub grub choices. Portion sizes are very generous and food was cooked very well. No complaints and would definitely return again.

We went as a family group of 16 to the Afan tavern. Considering how busy it was, every meal came out in a good time; with the meals being warm/well presented and good portion size.Waiting staff were excellentThoroughly enjoyed.Highly recommend this place ?

Terrible Terrible service! Arrived and seated at 4:15, order wasn't taken until 4:50, at 5:45 our food still hadn't arrived. Being type 1 diabetic, what should have been a nice family meal (with a 4 year old) would have turned into a medical emergency if we hadn't of left without eating so we could quickly get food elsewhere. Just awful.

Enjoyed Sunday dinner. Need to book table prior which was easy. Staff very helpful and friendly. I have been here few times and always have nice dinner. Only reason I gave 4 star is because the roast potato always cold. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic food and service Would definitely recommend. Also have good selection of beers at very reasonable price.
Really good place to go. Strongly recommend for gluten free as well a vegan/vegitariaen. There is a wide range of different options here in the resturaunt food wise and the service is reccomended.
