Very average food, a dry lasagne, £19.50 for a small steak with a cold gloopy sauce, and the worst chips ever tasted, reminded me of "happy shopper oven cooked" from my student days. great beer, soft drinks overpriced. the staff were very friendly with a nice bar atmosphere. sorry !!

I am a Gwaelod boy so the inn has fond memories dating way back. Its a little smarter these days and you can get a good meal here too. A bit out the way but worth looking for.

Welcoming staff, we had just climbed the Garth and needed food and a cold beer, there were no sandwiches left but the lady said I could choose a filling and she would make it fresh, the sandwich was crammed with pork and apple...lovely!!! Well worth a visit!!

Sat in bar downstairs. Had classic Sunday lunch food, perfectly cooked with generous portions. Quick and personal, friendly service. Great selection of real ales and some good, reasonably priced wines. Still retain the pool table and pub drinking feel so not just a foodie place (helps having the more formal restaurant space upstairs). Highly recommend.

The character of the Gwaelod y Garth Inn is not only from its wonderful charm and settings, it starts with your hosts Richie and Barbara through to Rob the Manager, all the staff and the many locals who congregate around the bar and make you feel so welcome. The rooms were so comfortable and clean, the cuisine outstanding and the... More

Show me a better pub! Great food and splendid beer, especially from their own brewery. Well worth a visit! The Wye Valley they have is especially good here.

This place is busy so you have to book. It is busy for a reason. The food is excellent, staff extremely accommodating, choice of great ales, dog friendly, great atmosphere and very fairly priced. Make sure your hungry they give you plenty on a Sunday. One of the only places I have been where they have freshly roasted chicken, pork,... More

The open fire and warm welcome makes this a lovely pub. Would definitely recommend for others. I've been previously for food too and the food is delicious.

I recently ate at the Gwaelod on a visit to Wales with my children and grandchildren. I was initially concerned when our table for 10 was put in a separate room from the main dining room. However, there was no need to worry, the service was as exceptional as the previous times I have visited. I really like the choices... More

Good food locally sourced. The Welsh rack of lamb and Welsh beef were cooked to perfection. The vegetables were fresh and plentiful. The desserts were delicious with lots of choice the trifle was superb. The views from the dining room were breathtaking, and the country pub feel was just right. The staff were helpful and the service was good. This... More
