Another great meal here ! We all enjoyed what we chose and there was nothing left . The salmon was delicious, as were the burgers. We have eaten steak here also which was full of flavour. We couldn’t resist the dessert and the homemade cheesecake was a treat .

We enjoyed two very nice meals at The Abadam during our recent stay in Wales. The food was delicious and there was a good selection of vegetarian options. A warm welcome and a nice atmosphere in a very cosy pub with plenty of off off road parking. would highly recommend a visit

A nice pub with a historical connection to the Rebecca Riots of 1800 where the revolt was against tolls and taxes. Good selection of beers and often a guest ale on hand pump. Food is reasonably priced.

Called on the hop with my father for supper. Staff were very welcoming. Plenty of choice on the menu. I had the ribs, they were so succulent that they fell off the bone. Really tasty. Dad had Ham, Egg & Chips, really enjoyed his meal. The portions are plenty & the price is very reasonable. We'll definitely be back.
