Food was very good but maybe consider adding a second egg to the gammon and egg, it's not going to break the bank. The either or option of egg or pineapple seemed a bit picky. The fella behind the bar might want to brush up on his people skills, no "hello" no smile's, just a blank stare so didn't exactly roll out the welcome carpet!

(Did not use hotel - went for food & drinks only). Fantastic service from both staff members, very good steak and chips (not sure what shape they were but never seen them before! Really delicious!). Great atmosphere (although quiet) and really tastefully decorated restaurant - strong autumnal vibes. Lemon cheesecake was excellent! Highly recommend!

Our little group of four friends had a lovely lunch in Y Griffin today. Staff were really friendly & our food was gorgeous, no complaints at all. Wishing the new managers/owners the very best. We were passing through from Anglesey to Pembrokeshire

There's a sign outside 'All day breakfast, open 7 days a week'I was passing and had time , it was about 11:30 am on Saturday...I entered the front door to be greeted by what appeared to be staff and I immediately asked "all day breakfast?"The reply was an odd ' it's after 11:30'I made a quizzical face 🤨Then another odd reply from the younger of the 2 women 'that sign is wrong, we haven't had time to change it'So it's an ALL DAY BREAKFAST that finishes at 11:30 am...Take into consideration - I believe this is a pub with an attached cafe - I'm assuming the cafe was absolutely rammed with customers not that I heard or saw anyone, certainly there were no patrons at the bar or in the lounge. 20 minutes later and between them these two females were still unable to get outside to change the sign though still stood gossiping where I'd left them earlier...What dedicated staff...

We ate here - lunch on a Saturday. I was just expecting run of the mill pub grub, but the quality of the food we got was exceptional. It was tradition pub food but cool very very well. The service was excellent and staff helpful and friendly. The star of the show was definitely the chips, they were cut into a ‘U’ shape which ensured they were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside without compromise. Outstanding! We will definitely be back!

Called in for a pint. The young bar man Leon served us. We had a good conversation about the area and him living up the street. It was nice to see local people supporting local businesses. He did teach how to say the town name. Needless to say, we had a laugh. The bar areas are well maintained and clean. A very pleasant place.
