Glantaff Inn - Treharris

So the pub itself is very pleasant, however, some staff could be a bit more friendly, the manager was brilliant and catered for us. The food is expensive for what it is however the meat was great. The desserts we got were not cooked however the owner/manager sorted this out for us and sorted it on the bill too. The pub is lovely and the locals are friendly too.

Had scampi and chips. It was lovely plus the service was very friendly. Price was good value for money

Nice friendly atmosphere from staff and customers . In fact, 3 older gents (regulars) who were offered complimentary chips and fish by the manager offered me to take some. Which was a lovely gesture, both by the management and the gents .. I had a nice Lamb and mash. It is not a Gastropub, but as per above, it is a nicely decorated local pub, serving food with a great feel

Been here a few times and the welcome you get is second to none. You'll need to book if you want to guarantee a table, which speaks for itself. It's deceptively big, but that does not mean you have to wait long for meals. Everything we've had here has been excellent. Portion sizes are very plentiful and I've still not had enough room to try the puddings yet. Perhaps I'll start with them next time:

Came here for a couples date night as we heard the food was supposed to be good. After weeks of hype and finally managing to get a table booked we were thoroughly disappointed. My partner and I orderd the minted lamb shank. The lamb itself was very average despite everyone building it up and wasn't minted, we just received gravy with mint sauce in it. The gravy was quite possibly the most watered down mixture that I have ever taste. The fries were also very average. For the price, we felt robbed. My friend ordered the Cajun chicken breast, which was quite clearly overcooked and extremely dry. As for his sauce, you got literally taste the flour in the mixture, clumpy and inedible. For dessert we all had the sticky toffee pudding, which was very bland, lacking any sort of depth. There wasn't much toffee/caramel on the pudding and the taste of cinnamon was overwhelming. As for the service, the staff were very quick friendly and tentative. I would not recommend sitting downstairs if you book here too. Its very loud downstairs with the locals.
