"Set not far from Morlais castle and the quarry (good to have a walk there near the golf course and then come to the Aberglais after) it's in a good location with great views all around. Good home cooked style food and a cosy but small beer garden. The place does get busy during peak times with the carpark getting full, so better to pop in mid week. Various bottled ciders, cold pull beers and ales on tap. They always seem to have at least one felinfoel ale on tap (last time it was double dragon). Bar area is a bit too modern for my tastes (it would have been nice to have it a bit more traditional/rustic). Can't go wrong (good to have a walk down the road as well with good walks near a former train station and old hotel which closed long ago). Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4"

The wonderful owner, Cliff, opened the pub just for us on a rainy morning. We were a bit lost and in need of coffee, a break, and some guidance. His motto displayed at the bar is absolutely true: "Enter as Strangers. Leave as Friends."

As a picky vegan, it's hard to find local restaurants where I can dine, but Butglais offers options for everyone. I've known about this place for years, but I only recently visited. The service was excellent, the prices were reasonable, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was wonderful! We will definitely be coming back!

As a parent of an 18-month-old, I always get a bit nervous when dining out, especially since he usually wants to run around after about 30 minutes. However, the staff and owners were wonderful with him! They even took him behind the bar to check out the pumps, which he absolutely loved, and we managed to capture some great photos. Another bonus was that they had plastic utensils available (I had forgotten mine), which was really helpful! I couldn't have asked for a better experience. This is a great place, and I highly recommend it!

What a great Saturday afternoon Birthday meal. The Gammon with egg, pineapple and onion rings, plus a peppercorn sauce was very, very good and not forgetting Eddies chips which are the best in the Valleys was a real feast. With Gaynor 's Lemon cheesecake desert to finish, I was full til the following day. Well done team, we 're local and will be back en masse. Daiawn Aberglais. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options were good. Kid-friendliness: All are catered for with ease, including the Altzymers Mob.

"Having heard and read about this place I thought a meal was called for, being a lunch person two of us went on Saturday. Entering the restaurant we were greeted by a boom of a voice from a waiter some distance away calling, Hi guys?. Told him I had a booking, and we were shown to our table. asked if there was somewhere to hang our coats? but got no answer, so had to put them over the back of our chairs. Menus came, special and a la carte, we quickly made our minds up, no starter just a main of the a la carte. Fish for my friend and beef for me. great, started to have our drink then the waiter came back, the beef is cooked in a water bath he said so there will be about a 15 minutesdelay, firstly the waiter should have known that when we ordered, or better still it should have been printed on the menu. I asked if we could have either some olives or bread with olive oil and balsamic while we waited, off the waiter went and came back to inform me that firstly they had no bread????? it had not been baked that day and secondly they did not have olives???? but I could have nuts. NO thanks! a bottle of tap water was brought, I asked if we could have sparkling rather then the tap. The waiter came back with two plastic bottles of water. A cafe or chippy or take away yes plastic bottle, but a supposed five start restaurant NO. he placed them on the table, did not open them or asked if we wanted lemon or ice and went off. Now this place prides its self on locally sourced produce, the water was Buxton, where? if they are going to use plastic, was Wales' premier brand of Brecon Careg??? Food came beef was fab cooked as I asked for and tasted great, the veg was cold not impressed at all. Triple cooked chips were tasty but yet again a place trying to get to the next level in food, does not offer vinegar with the chips, just bad, but perhaps a local thing? The fish, my friend told me was excellent and he really loved it. half way through the meal the front doors open and a man with a huge trolly starts to come in delivering veg? the waiter quickly shows him the side door, but he still had to come in to the main room clattering around to deliver when people are eating, not impressive. Finished the meal ordered cheese so we had been in the place for about an hour when the waiter comes over to say that the card machine was not working so we would have to pay cash? but that there was a Barclays bank about 50 yards up the road. yet again WHAT? why not say when we got in before we sat down to enjoy a lunch so much easier. The cheese came bit cold, but as I always say cheese is one of the hardest things for any place to get right and I perfectly understand when its a bit cold. I had 4 crackers on my plate, the person with me had five, i looked at a lady on the next table and she had eight, whats the method behind this? Espresso came luke warm, as we are sitting there, the owner I presume? brings a bike into the main room parks against a wall to go for a ride later? yet another first for me to see. There were nine of us in total in the place, would it have hurt the owner to come and ask if all was well, I am sure the waiter had told him I was not happy, so yet another little detail thats was not good customer happiness is what makes a place tick. My bill came to £164, granted there was champagne etc in that, so not cheap, the waiter asked if all was ok, but it was said in a matter of fact way not really interested I felt, especially as the waiter knew I was not well pleased as it was. I am a firm believer in giving a chance to a place being aware what a bad review can do to a restaurant, so I always finish up with the same question, would I go again? I think the answer to this is NO and I don't like to say that!!!! One last thing please get rid of the bowl of goldfish in dirty water not a good look."
