Stopped in for breakfast on new year's Eve. Nice full breakfast, sausage sandwich with lovely bread and pancakes were all on our table. All very good.
I have been doing my utmost to forget my last visit to the Maenllwyd, but they keep sending me promotional emails so here is my review. On 23rd December 2021 I visited the Maenllwyd and ordered a 3 course meal. They had run out of the starter which I wanted so I instead chose Korean Chicken, followed by roast turkey, and then a dessert. The Korean Chicken was supposed to be strips of chicken served in a Korean barbecue sauce. What I received was some small, hard tasteless pieces of chicken in breadcrumbs (chicken nuggets) with some sauce. The main course of "hand carved" turkey was also very disappointing. The turkey was dry and tasteless and looked more like it had come out of a packet. The sprouts were cold and rock hard, and the vegetables were all lacking in flavour. By the following day (Christmas Eve) I became very ill and was diagnosed as having food poisoning. This lasted for 3 days and ruined my Christmas. There was nothing else that I had eaten that could have caused the food poisoning so I reported the Maenllwyd to the relevant Environmental Health department. Unfortunately, with it then being between Christmas and the New Year they could not do anything.
If you are looking for a tasty varied menu at a 400 year old traditional pub, located in the middle of the Welsh green luscious country side then look no further. Oh yes and before I forget the staff are super friendly and efficient and on top of that the food is varied, delicious and nutritious. Of course I am biased, because I go there all the time....
What an absolute gem of a place... The food was outstanding, my partner had Lasagna, and I had the seafood grill, I would say maybe a little bit more fish as the price didn't reflect the amount of seafood I had. But overall a must visit if you are in the area or wish to try for yourself.
Amazing location with such lovely views. Food was good. Friendly waiter put us at ease! Seafood grill special was good. Sticky toffee pudding was excellent. And 3 of us enjoyed the mini-pud with coffee… just the right amount of brownie when you’re stuffed with lasagne. All in all a lovely lunch.
