I wouldn't eat here - when I tried to ring to book a table the telephone manners of the bar staff were extremely offensive and they were extremely rude and unhelpful

Now generally the standard of food in South Wales is good and it is very rare that I do find a restaurant which is worthy of a poor review. Having visited the Ynyscynon on a previous occasion and had a very poor meal indeed I felt that perhaps it was a one off and a review at this time was inappropriate so I had to return for a second time. The Ynyscynon having previously known as The Golden Post now has an Indian Restaurant on one side and a Pub restaurant on the other side. Whilst the glorious smell from the Indian side should have persuaded me to enter there my other guests were not indian eaters so we decided on the pub side..... Boy was I wrong again..... I decided that I would have a chicken starter which turned out to be unavailable and therefore I opted for a prawn coctail and to be honest that was OK but you can't really go wrong with a prawn cocktail. There was no soup for starters and when asked about that they replied that never have and it is only available on a Sunday Lunch. Perhaps a few tins from Asda may not go amiss.
Main Course was a great T bone steak cooked medium to rare and whilst the steak and the chip portions were good the steak was the opposite. It was well done and would be better placed on a sole of my shoes and OK perhaps the chef didn't hear it right and they did say sorry and that they would replace it. Then two minutes later my steak was return and I could see why it was returned in two minutes as it was just shown the grill on two side and when I cut into it it was very very rare and I am sure I heare it mooooo ...... When I spoke to the waitress again and said that it was very rare she said well that's how my brother likes it and he likes it medium rare. To which I replied that beleve it or not I am not her brother..... I decided not to have any dessert myself but the people on the other table complained that their cheesecake was very dry and a little stale. So all in all I guess my second visit was not a great success and to be honest I do not think that I will be returning for a third (unless it is to the Indian restaurant next door). So on reflection I would only be able to give 2 out of 10 for the food as they did do the prawn cocktail OK.
