"I came here with friends to celebrate 2 birthdays.It was a very good atmosphere and there was a lot of choice on the menu but when the food came the plate was stacked high and was far too much so I could only eat a small amount of it and ended taking the rest home. My friends managed to eat a bit more but felt very full too. Looking around the tables we noticed the fish and chips was enormous too.It would be much better if the plate wasn’t so much overflowing and would be more presentable.That’s why I only gave 4 stars as the restaurant itself was extremely clean and the staff were very friendly."

"Two couples with a pre-booked table, first visit since pre Covid-19. We had starters, mains, deserts, drinks coffees. Food was average pub grub, unfortunately all hot food was served on cold plates. Menu is extensive, prices are reasonable. We were asked to pay for our starters, main course arrival drinks before our food was served. We were also asked to pay for the next round of drinks during our meal and before ordering desert. Nowhere on the menu did we see that payment was due at time of ordering and it is not what we expected to punctuate our evening out. Appreciated this requirement was not down to the table staff, who were very attentive and proficient, however this payment policy ruined the ambiance of our evening out and as a result although this is the closest functioning pub to our homes none of us will return."

"Walked in and the girl behind the bar (wearing a coat still) didn’t even aknowledge us…. Took our drink order at the bar when she got to us and pointed our table out. I ordered a soft drink, they’re all just cans. My partner ordered a pint, it smelt of wet dog. The menus are big chalk boards by the door, so you have to stand and squash between a door and the bar to read the menu. The menus are big and look absolutely great. Unfortunately it was better on paper than on the plate. Ordered starters, took 30 minutes to come out. I had garlic prawns, they were on garlic bread which was soggy in oil and grease. Not what I expected and it was horrible. My partner had chicken kebabs. It was literally a slither of chicken on a stick. It was so dry one half fell off when he touched it with a fork. Next we both ordered the steak, £30 each. Sirloin steak, all the trimmings, and a sauce. My steak was AWFUL covered in lumps of fat and tasted of leather. My partners wasn’t much better. I ordered the peppercorn sauce, it was yellow, like custard and made me feel physically sick. ‘All the trimmings’ was chopped mushrooms, onion rings (basically no onion just greasy batter) and a bowl of peas (between 2) and a bowl of chips (between 2) I couldn’t even eat mine so they did offer something else, which I declined so they took it off the bill, which I appreciated until we could hear them slagging us off in the kitchen pointing out that the other steak was fine…. Toilets dead flies on walls, and I thought the toilet was grey but it was dust. Restaurant cold, holes in wall, heater next to us splattered in grease and food. Staff ok but need a waitress to take orders and treat it like a restaurant when paying £30 for meals! It’s not cheap, seems like they don’t actually have a clear vision for the place. Menus look amazing!!! Just need someone that can cook it."

"I had the most incredible dining experience at the Tyn Y Capel from the moment I stepped through the door, the warm and inviting ambiance set the stage for a memorable evening. The attentive and knowledgeable staff guided me through an exquisite culinary journey, ensuring every dish was a masterpiece. The attention to detail and presentation were impeccable, and each bite was a burst of flavours that delighted my palate. The service was flawless, with every need anticipated and met with a smile. I left feeling completely satisfied and grateful for such a remarkable dining experience. Well done Tyn Y Capel."

"We visited with work for the second time. Last year I was kept waiting for half an hour for my veggie meal and everyone else had finished. This year I arrived 20 minutes early and ordered mine but it was still well over half an hour for me to wait and yet again my vegetables had gone cold and everyone else had eaten. The other thing I didn’t like was the only choice of vegetarian meal which was ratatouille and goats cheese spring roll. I don’t like goats cheese and the roll had gone soggy in the bowl of wet ratatouille. As a vegetarian I like to eat with everyone else but it was a disappointing separate meal that didn’t go with turkey trimmings. Why can’t they do but roast or a mushroom wellington with vegetarian gravy? I was very disappointed and won’t be returning for the third year in a row."
