Outstanding. We booked 5 months ago for a trip back to Wales after seeing friends share on social and it did not disappoint. Food was fantastic, service was brilliant. Staff are obviously well trained to high standards, and go the extra mile - my dad grew up in Blaenavon and our hostess found pics of old Blaenavon on her phone to show him. Standouts for us were the Taste of Welsh Beef and Thai red curry with cod. Banana sticky toffee pudding was amazing. Will be rebooking for the next visit!
