- I organised a family Sunday lunch for 18 for my wife's 60th Birthday on Sunday 25th. We were seated in the Conservatory and without exception, we were all totally satisfied with our food and it certainly lived up to our expectations. No delays in service, both food and drinks, but we never felt hurried. The staff were excellent and are a credit to the establishment.
  
  All in all, a great family day made better by the food, atmosphere and staff service. I'd highly recommend the Pen y Cae Inn to anyone looking to eat there.

  We had lunch today four different main meals plus two starters.
  Although they were busy we felt like we were the only people there, service was prompt staff were friendly and the food was all freshly cooked and local produce, they even cooked mushroom linguine which wasn’t even on the menu.
  It was truly a delight for us all. We have recently moved to the area and since I am in a wheelchair it is difficult to find excellent places for food. Most places like one down the rd are not interested in catering for wheelchair users. Here you can eat upstairs or down stairs as the also have a lift inside. Absolutely made my day
  Oh yes portions were huge
  Wonderful surroundings really relaxing atmosphere.
  Forgot to take pictures of other two meals lol
  Ty see you soon.

  Stayed in the adjacent cottage for the weekend with family. Great accommodation and having the pub next door is ideal. We had a delicious breakfast Sunday morning too. Great walks nearby. The zoo was a little noisy early morning but otherwise a lovely stay. Staff at the pub were soo friendly and helpful

- Meal was fantastic. We were a group of 7 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs. Staff were brilliant and attentive. We all had various starters, mains and desserts and there were no issues. It was a special day for us as we were celebrating my sister and dad's birthdays.
  
  Thank you so much for having us!

  Stopped for a coffee on a sunny day en-route to Swansea. Had an excellent cappucino served in the sunny garden with views of surrounding hills. Very nice bar area, with Ducati motorbike and there is a zoo at the back adjacent to the carpark. A peacock was strolling through the rear gardens as we left. We stopped off again for another high-quality coffee on our return trip the following day.

- Food was amazing, service really attentive, and lovely atmosphere. The zoo is a nice extra thing to do as well. Definitely recommend popping in for dinner if you’re in the area, the cheesy garlic bread is delicious and my partner said his gammon was the nicest gammon he has ever had!

  My partner and I were staying at a local campsite for a place to eat for our anniversary. This place exceeded expectations with very attentive staff and a lovely service. There was this specific gentleman taking out drinks orders and he knew every there was to know - explains what every drink was! The food was delicious and the only downside was my partners steak was rather over priced. Besides from that the burger was amazing, the starters were better than anything, and the staff should all give themselves a good pat on the back. Thank you for making our day!

- We stayed at the Sleeping Giant Hotel on the grounds of Penycae Inn for a long bank holiday weekend in March as a group of 4 plus a little doggy. We came to eat at Penycae Inn every day and the food was delicious every single time!
  
  The portions for the main dishes are large and the quality of ingredients and cooking is very high.
  
  The desserts were incredible. We had the special salted caramel creme brulee - we since went to a French restaurant and had the creme brulee but it was seriously lacking in comparison to Penycae Inn.
  
  As well as the food, the staff are lovely. Especially Chef Anthony and Nathan who was there morning until night from what we could tell! Chef Anthony (the owner) is a truly lovely man to speak with. He gave us some excellent tips on nice walks whilst avoiding heavy tourist traps - and if you have the time, he has such an interesting life story to tell too!
  
  We would definitely return here for the food and recommend it to anyone in the area - well worth the drive too even if you aren't local.

  Stayed at the Sleeping Giant lodge on site- the cookery was on par with high end restaurants in london- and the staff super attentive and friendly. Couldn't fault anything and would recommend a visit or 3!
  
  The creme brulee was excellent

- I can’t recommend this place highly enough.
  Great food, great service, especially Aaron the drinks waiter and fabulous atmosphere.
  If I lived near here I’d be there at least once a week.
  Every dish we got was faultless.

  Well, what a surprise, it is never certain how a place will measure up even if the reviews look great, cannot agree with a recent negative posting, was the poster somewhere else? Last night 18/04 we enjoyed a fantastic dinner at Penycae Inn, from the minute we walked in we were warmly greeted by smiling friendly staff, what an asset that is to have a team all on board with delighting their customers, it is exceptionally rare to see that applying to ALL the staff team. Anyway, we chose 2 Beef Rib and 1 Linguine, plates arrived HOT, portions generous and well presented, taste of the rib beef with the jus quite stunning really. The owners and staff team should be very proud of what they all achieved last night. A generous tip was obviously deserved. Very highly recommended indeed. Thank you.

- Well! we are only the first night in and wow. Everything has been top tier! We came to stay in the suites for my wife's 40th. The room is exactly as advertised. Super clean and just perfect. The staff that welcomed us were so accommodating and friendly and went the extra mile to make the room special for my wife. Just got back from dinner and another wow! The food was amazing! Everything homemade and delicious. I'm a hard critic when it comes to food but that was great. Wife had the creamy mushrooms and I had the fried halloumi for starters, everything was well seasoned and tasty. We had the cajun chicken and the homemade burger and that it was! No frozen packet rubbish here. Chicken was cooked to perfection and the homemade chips were to die for. All very reasonably priced. Hats off to the chefs, keep up the great work. I saw another review about all the staff being young and inexperienced, yes they were young and most likely new to the industry but they were all amazing. A breathe of fresh air and so friendly. What a start to our trip! Thank you Pen Y Cae Inn and all of your amazing staff.
