"First of all I got sausage and mash with GRAVY and peas and when I got It I was going to ask where my sausages are but I realised they where buried under 2 pounds of gravy which didn’t taste that good and they asked ‘ Do you want some more gravy?’ I looked at my plate and back at her and said ‘ No thanks’ anyway my family member got cod with extra plastic on it. So we bought some garlic bread but it came with no garlic and the chips were burnt. At the end we told the manager about the plastic and all they said was’ we are so sorry the (only) cook didn’t have his glasses on’ so he didn’t see the burnt chips, garlic bread with no garlic, how much gravy he put on and to top it off he didn’t see the plastic and most importantly it was my aunts birthday. I would love to do a 0.1 star review but you can’t do that"

Myself and 2 friends have become regulars before we go to see a show in Aberdare, and we love it there . We recommend the duck. It's fabulous.

Will visit here again for sure. Lunch after long walk. Less than £8 for the biggest fish chips ever had. Eclectic choice of seating. I sat in garden under a huge cover. Very confortable lunch

Prawn cocktail to start, ribeye steak for main, quality thick steak cooked to perfection, homemade onion rings and much more.... Food was outstanding, we had a fabulous night and felt truly welcomed and looked after by the owners, great value for money, returning very soon!

Been going to the gadlys arms off on for over 30 years, mainly for Sunday lunch but have been for bar meals on numerous occasions I've never been disappointed. Quality quality evertime. Don't listen to reviews try it yourself then judge. I know you will be pleasantly surprised.

Last time I visited was for a funeral unfortunately. However, the food was done to perfection and could not ask anything more really. The pub itself is clean and well presented. The landlord and landlady have had this place for a long time and I think they have built it up to a good standard. So many places decline and die off. I am glad this pub has not done that.

Okay food and good service. Good choice of menu but found food was slightly overcooked. Good size portions and impressive bar choice but chips were also overcooked and became inedible after a bit. Some nice deserts on the board and a good specials board but thru need to update it when they run out of a meal option (especially since its written with chalk)! Nice setting for a meal.

We were attending an athletic meet in Aberdare and googled this pub. We arrived and were seated. It was a Sunday so main menu was limited. I had the lamb dinner which was really good. My wife has the gammon which was swimming in grease and my daughter had chicken nuggets. The nuggets were hard and were replaced with only a dish full of hard chips between both meals. £27 and most of the food was sent back. Lovely pub and great atmosphere but food could be better.

"This restaurant has changed ownership and is now known as Billa's. We booked a table here on Saturday evening, when we arrived the outside seating area had been overbooked so we were sat inside the restaurant this is currently not allowed under Wales' guidlelines, and to be honest I wish we had just walked out at that point, there ended up being 15 people seated inside. I genuinely felt so sorry for the 3 staff working there that evening, there was no manager in sight to help them serve customers both inside and outside, and they were running around like headless chickens receiving multiple complaints from every table inside about slow service, order mix ups etc they clearly had no table plan for inside (since we were seated last minute) and as a result the wrong food was given to the wrong tables. One couple got up and left before their food was served. We waited 45 minutes for our drinks, which arrived after our starters. Again, I want to stress that I do not blame the three staff at all, the blame lies fully with the non existent management who overbooked the restaurant and left them to deal with the mess. My partner ordered a calzone, and when this was served it was completely raw on the inside, he sent it back and asked for carbonara instead as this was quicker to cook. The food overall did not live up to the standards of the previous owner. Finally, when it came to paying the bill, the calzone was still on it, when the staff had said they would remove it for us. My partner went to the bar so this could be corrected, and the owner spoke to the staff member who was re doing the bill, he told her to charge us for the carbonara that was a replacement for the raw calzone some people may disagree, but I believe that if you are served RAW food at a restaurant or take away etc, then that meal should be replaced free of charge! In total we wasted £59 on a subpar meal. I am thoroughly disappointed in Billa's, it has clearly gone down hill since the change of ownership, and I shall not be eating here again and will tell others to steer clear. It's such a shame as Aberdare itself has so few restaurants open."
