  “Very tasty food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere, good location, varied menu. I recommend for vegans and vegetarians, a varied menu for vegans and vegetarians too. I am a vegetarian, one of my favorite dishes is grilled halloumi salad, with mango, apple, lettuce,onion, olives... There is a variety of drinks, cocktails, desserts, Portuguese food, drinks...,there is a garden...”

  “A nice pub/eaterie in the centre of Merthyr Tydfil. The staff are very welcoming and attentive. A good selection of beers, wines and spirits. Although we didn't eat on this visit the menu is varied and they food is well prepared. I would certainly recommend this pub to visitors to Merthyr Tydfil.”

  “Really lovely atmosphere and the restaurant had a very nice vibe. The food looked absolutely beautiful when it arrived and everything was presented really well. Unfortunately, the taste didn’t quite match the presentation for us. The meat was a little too dry, and the seafood felt slightly lacking in flavour and seasoning. The fries were honestly the highlight of the meal. Considering the bill was over £80, we were hoping for a bit more overall.”

  “Was in Merthyr for a few days with work and the Crown had been recommended as one of the better places to eat, so I thought I would give it a try as it had a good Veggie/Vegan menu. A great looking little pub in the centre of town and fairly busy on a Wednesday evening, however that is where the good stull ended. Got seated and was then left with a menu for ages (which I had put down like I was ready to order), eventually someone took my order (a Veggie skewer) only to return 10 minutes later to say they had no tofu (part of the Vegan skewer) and was hallumi ok. Told them I had order the Veggie skewer and it was fine, off they disappeared. About 30 minutes later a dinner appeared two lumps of hallumi and sausage on a hanging skewer (one sausage on the plate with some chips). Had I not been starving at this point, I would have sent it back and asked how this justified a £19 cost. I have been a veggie for 35 years and this is the worst veggie meal I have had. If you go to the effort of having a veggie/vegan menu, go to the effort with the food or don't bother with the menu. I have never left a bad review on anything before, but this meal was an insult”

  “Was looking forward to visiting here after having it recommended to us. Staff were lovely and friendly but food was just ok, for the price I would expect and have had better elsewhere. Bathrooms weren’t the best, ladies has 3 cubicles, 1st no lock, 2nd dirty so luckily the 3rd was acceptable. We were seated next to the front door of the pub and the inner door doesn’t shut properly so I was quite cold with the draft, I should have asked to move but didn’t want to make a fuss, that’s on me! They had some good deals on cocktails that I’d be tempted to try if visiting again.”

  “Found this little gem when searching for something different during our stay in Merthyr, and we are really glad we did! Food was absolutely stunning, and although a few things weren't available from the menu, the service was spot on, very attentive, and friendly, and all the food we ate was just so good! Apologies for my photo containing a part eaten plate, I couldnt wait to tuck into my delicious food! Crown Cream cocktail was delicious. 😋 Save room for dessert though, very yummy, but pushed up over the edge for attempting to walk back to the car. Hi-light was also finding the children's ice cream contained in a character pot... made my 25yr old daughters day! 😍”

  “The crown chicken salad is something else. It was so refreshing. I would definitely recommend that. My partner had steak with the garlic butter, which he thoroughly enjoyed. I would definitely go here again. The service was good, staff very friendly. The pub it's was beautiful and naturally well lit.”

  “It was an absolutely wonderful experience to dine here. The food is incredible, the staffs are so warm & welcoming and the ambience is lovely. Since the New Crown it's owned by a Portuguese family, the menu and food have a good Portuguese touch. They also have a lot of live music events and that adds to their popularity. Just a reminder : while it is open till late, the kitchen closes by 9 pm. Also getting reservations is advisable.”
