Dining At The Brigands Inn

A not so regular journey too and from the coast always takes us past the Brigand Inn. We've stopped for lunch and on this occasion just for coffee on the way home. Friendly staff, and a great place to sit. The inside is a bit like a tardis with so many quaint rooms. One day we will stop overnight, it's so inviting.

Have been here many times over the years. Interested to see how it was after a few negative reviews. Good news is it’s still the same informal, friendly, efficient place it ever was. Food still great quality my mate rated the burger “the best he’d ever had”. Enjoyed chilling in the residents’ lounge after dinner. This place is legendary.

Waited over an hour for food. Awful service and the first waitress would not give a timescale to how long the food would take. We only ordered mains no starter or pudding. The second waitress tried her best to help. We had to pay for the food before eating. Would not recommend if you’re passing on your way home! 3 other tables walked out before us. Very poor service in such a great location. Ver carta

We visited The Brigands with friends and family. There was 9 in our party and 2 dogs and we were seated in a private dining area in the Residents Lounge. We all had starters, main courses and deserts. The food was excellent from start to finish with the service being just at the right pace. What made our visit extra special was the service that we received from Gwynfor who was an absolute legend. He was very welcoming, great fun and a consummate professional. Would recommend the The Brigands if you are in the area.

Have driven by many times but never stopped in until yesterday. Quickly learned that I have been missing out on visiting a fantastic restaurant. Popped in for linch with my wife and son and each of us ordered a different sandwich. We all left the restaurant believing we had just ate the best sandwich we have ever had. Service was excellent, bar staff super friendly and the prices were very reasonable. Outstanding restaurant that we will be visiting often and have already made reservations for an upcoming Sunday roast.

Popped in here for a bite to eat, with my infirm, 85 year old mum. It was a cold, wet miserable day and we were starving. We were greeted by a young woman at the bar by, yes you can order lunch as long as it 's in the next five minutes . Miserable woman, no smile, no welcome. This appeared to be the theme as the lady who brought the food, was just as unfriendly and miserable too. To be fair the food was lovely. Would I go again. Not a chance. Would I recommend it. Not a chance. We 'll go somewhere else in future when visiting my family. Ver carta

Arrived at The Brigands for a meal at 6:00 pm Sunday evening. There were a handful of tables occupied with people eating. We waited twenty minutes while the girl behind the bar served everyone else and were then told that if we hadn’t booked we wouldn’t be served, very unapologetic and very abrupt. It doesn’t say that on the website and the older lady who was delivering meals from the kitchen walked past me standing by the ‘wait here for a table sign’ at least four times in the twenty minutes and never said ‘Have you booked?’ Very poor service so unless you are desperate don’t bother. Go to the Cross Foxes instead!

An excellent Sunday lunch great service and great food. Have passed this place weekly while travelling north to south and decided to pop in with friends for Sunday lunch. We had the lamb and the pork. Both meals were large portions with a lot of meat and vegetables both the veg cooked as part of the slow cooking of the meat as well as extra fresh vegetables. We were all very full after just having a main course. The meat was first rate very tasty. Service was spot on with only a short time between ordering and food arriving. Everything was nice a hot. Staff were friendly and attentive but not overly intrusive. Would highly recommend

This restaurant is in need of firm management and a qualified chef.Service is slow, some of the staff contradicted each other, but most importantly, the menu is decidedly basic. By lunchtime, they had run out to lager, there were signs of poor hygiene foot and handmarks where the staff boot or push the kitchen door open . Some staff appeared resentful when politely requested to provide condiments, sauces or a small glass. It probably suffers from a captive clientele the nearby caravan park and a lack of local competition, resulting in complacency. All in all, we felt as if we were imposing on the staff who had something better to do. Ver carta
