We rang to book for food and the chef came and opened up - Just for us.  

It was amazing, all freshly cooked and the extra little touches fabulous. The dressing on the garnish was delicious - the glaze he rubbed on the tomato was gorgeous . . . . . all before the actual chicken. His attention to detail and extra touches made this one of the best meals i have eaten - and I worked in catering for nigh on 20 yrs.

If you are expecting a bevy of bar staff + waiters, you will be disappointed - this chap really is a 1 man band - I got the salt of an adjoining table and had to wait 2 minutes for another drink, this is not a criticism. The detail is in the food, the time is on the food and Mike is a genius. The booking system is poor 
 (via the hotel) - 07377 080701 ring direct.  
The best garlic bread I have ever tasted.

No frills or fanfare - stunning food Mike is excellent

The man that showed us to our room was very polite and well mannered we loved the room and the view from our balcony. I got woken up out of bed at 1.10am by a girl not to sure who the man was she had with her,I heard her saying to somebody that she was a little drunk and mentioned something about a joint she could have to go to bed with then went into room 206. I'm not happy with this stay and I will not be staying here again and I couldn't get back to sleep she was loud on the phone when she was talking to somebody asking what rooms was available and she mentioned something to do with her mum owning it or something couldn't hear it properly as she was in 206, the only good thing I can say is that the room was really nice and the gentleman that showed us to the room was fabulous. I would of put a higher rating if I slept all the way through

Terrible stay 26th August 2023

Popped in on the off chance. Lovely welcome by staff, dog friendly area has amazing view of the river and black mountains. Staff brought water for the dogs. Greta starters and lovely vegetarian option for Sunday dinner. Fantastic price and wonderful coffee. Will be back. 

Riverside restaurant

Spoke with the proprietor the day before who confirmed availability,asked about breakfast as we advised an arrival time and re-affirmed the date. We confirmed contact details and so -all set.
We arrived 2 hours in advance and were lucky enough to get a cuppa from the adjacent but separate business and sat in the sun so all fine but concerned as we left messages to advise that were early....no return. No other staff were apparent at the business. In the event we waited 15 minutes after the agreed check in time and having heard nothing or seen anybody we went back home - 150 miles. 
In all ( there are many) my years I have enjoyed various standards of service and when a gliche does arise we usually end up laughing with the hotel team. I have never experienced  anything like this. I am not malicious or cross but, for the hotels sake, something needs to be done about this place.    

Only wanted somewhere to stay

Stopped of for lunch at this restaurant and we were both very impressed with the food, the restaurant and the wonderful view  looking out over the river. The service was excellent and helpful. My wife and I would highly recommend anyone to check out the Llanwenath. We will be back regularly.

Excellent lunch over looking the river

Well what can I say.. Christmas Day was absolutely ruined going to Llanwenarth Hotel. 
Firstly, we walked into this restaurant to a small tacky bar the size of a shoe box with two small degraded sofas each side, tacky diamonte furniture and tiny round tables the size of a stool.. First impressions of this place is a put off!
There was a lady sitting eating Christmas Dinner on the one sofa, pulling meat out of her mouth with her hands was enough to make our stomachs turns. Another lady in the other corner basically eating her dinner on her lap, I thought "what the hell is this place!".
We were stood by the bar for 10-15 mins waiting for a bar worker to take notice of 6 of us standing there waiting to be served, to then order 4 diet cokes and be told there is only one left and if we could have regular coke.. hmm not very good when diet coke is the only soft drink we like. Realising that this one diet coke had to last until after lunch.. We asked to order a bottle or pint of Heinken to be told "is 0% alcohol bottle alright?". Bottles of luke warm lemonade was poured into pints to make a pint of shandy, 500mls bottles of coke were poured into glasses instead of cold off the pump being offered.
We then had to wait 1 HOUR in this little shoe box of a bar for our table... 6 adults and a 20 month old baby to entertain!! We was apologised to and told we would get our next drinks free (which never happened).
We were called through and told to go to our table, sat there for over 20 mins not one person came over to take our order, offer a welcome drink or offer any of the canapés they had on offer, not a christmas cracker on the table or any fancy table runners.. very poor deco.
We decided after 30 mins to go up ourselves to see where the welcome drinks were... very.warm and tasted like squash with a strawberry turned white from swimming in the glass for so long. 
Eventually we had to ask to be served, the manager came over to take the order to which she apologised for the wait, all her staff were new and only employed on Christmas Eve!! 
The menu was completely different on the table to what it states on Facebook. When stating this to the manger she explained it is the same menu but worded differently... 3 different trifles listed on there to be told one's a chocolate cake, ones a white cake and ones a trifle. 
We ordered starters, the onion soup look like it was dished out of the river over looked by the resturant it looked absolutely awful, tasted ok but by this point we were so hungry!
We were told to go up for our cavery when we were ready.. there was NO Turkey there when asked what meat we wanted, the Gammon joint was stone cold, very tough that was hard to cut with a knife. There was around 4 small slices of beef left which looked raw, no potatoes, no mash, no stuffing, no pigs in blankets, small amount of dried out burnt broccoli/carrots  rock solid cauliflower cheese  left to have. The gravy was full of grease, literally like brown water tipped onto the plate.. horrific!
Fair to say not one of us could eat the food, the baby resulted wanting to eat the table cloth instead of the food!
We complained alongside other tables of customers and said we wasn't happy to pay for it. We all paid our £10 deposits weeks prior to going. I would never recommend this restaurant 

If I noticed the Scores on the Doors (food hygiene rating of 2 !!) before stepping in there I wouldn't of stepped foot in there.
 
Absolutely shocking trading place. 

Christmas Day 2022.. Never Again!!!

Well what can I say disaster is the polite way.  We arrived to find they lost our booking and I had to find my bank statement to show I’d Paid a deposit so was booked in eventually shown a table.  Sat at table for 30 mins before someone took our stater order that was only cos we asked.   Not many starters left so had to have something I didn’t really like.  Main meal was tepid and stuffing balls rock hard not enough pigs in blankets for everyone as ran out .  Others came in after us and were served straight away and had regular checks we were left and had to keep asking for things, we had to ask for our table to be cleared so we could get our main course.  Puddings we’re ok when they arrived and had to wait longer for ice cream to arrive as they forgot.  Not good for Christmas Day.  We will not be going back unless new owners take over.

Christmas Day lunch

we booked today  for  the carvery  after seeing it online and  i got to say how nice and pleasent it was  , carvery was very hot and fresh and plenty of it  and cooked to perfection  staff serving were very pleasent and nothing was to much trouble , for 14.95 for 2 courses we thought this was excellent value,  ( have the Apple pie  its was  fabulous  ,) so thankyou all at llanwenarth arms  we will be seeing  you all again pretty soon and folks if your passing call in to this place  you wont regret it .

lovely visit for sunday carvery

Excellent value for Sunday lunch - £14.95 for two courses.

Plenty of vegetarian choice

Great staff

Food was hot

Dessert was amazing

Lovely environment and atmosphere

Definitely return for one of their forthcoming events as they couldn’t do enough throughout our visit

Sunday Lunch

Restaurant was clean and tidy and staff were pleasant and friendly but quality and price of food was absolutely disgusting. Not much choice on menu , the small bowl of frozen chips cost £5 and the Ham , egg and chips cost £12.95  , the one piece of ham possibly could have come out of supermarket packet of ham , again frozen chips and one egg , will never go there again and l will relay our experience not just on trip advisor.
