    We really enjoyed our meal at Tal Y Cafn. The staff were very welcoming and we were shown straight to our table. Our drinks order was taken within minutes and the drinks appeared quickly. The restaurant was almost full which made the excellent levels of service even more impressive. Our main courses appeared promptly and the food was delicious with good sized portions. The prices are good for the quality of food and service.

    Very good "gastropub" recently (July 19) re-opened under new management. Mainly laid out with tables, with a small bar area serving range of beers. No ales on hand pump (shame). Fresh fish from Anglesey Good friendly service Will be going back

    Having booked a table had to wait 30 min for table Again had to wait for service someone different for everything, Food was very disappointed e.g Chowder had 3 pieces of prawns the rest was carrots swede and potatoes. Mushroom pasta was served with what was explained as half chicken breast but all it was 3 cubes of chicken.

    Poor service throughout. One meal out of 4 was cold on arrival (although this was promptly replaced when asked), and another turned up 10 minutes after everyone else's. Several of the options on the menu - both main courses and desserts - had run out. We were told that the head chef had walked out on the previous Sunday and it was an unusually busy night, but we had booked in advance. Though the food when it turned up was very good, we wont be returning.

    It’s a difficult one, there were clearly a few teething problems. It took 40 minutes to have our order taken and this was after our drinks order was wrong. Half an hour after our food order was taken we were informed the kitchen had ran out of most of the food we’d ordered and we would be getting someone completely different. The table next to us had the same issue and ended up walking out. The staff were very friendly and were clearly aware that the problems in the kitchen were effecting the customers experience. They did what they could to make the situation better. I think once the new staff and owners have found their feet it will be a fab restaurant, they just need to iron out the creases.

    We had dinner here on their first day of opening under new management and they looked after us extremely well. The food was great and portions very generous (maybe too much!). Possible could have done with a wider selection of beers... a bit limited. Would definitely recommend to others though...
