Belle Vue Inn in Blaenau Gwent

The food was decent and the staff were really pleasant amd seemed to be enjoying their job. The wait for food was relatively short. I can't comment on the desserts because I didn't have one but my main course was good, as was the main courses of our friends.

Brilliant food and great service as well, you can't ask for more than that

Owners believe (as per their article on BBC News) that people "got very used to not working" during the pandemic hence they don’t want to work for them.It’s that or most probably they offer wages that are below liveable.

Absolutely beautiful food all homecooked the staff member named Jo was absolutely amazing so friendly and the owner he was lovely too would definatly recommend. We will go back 100%

Called in for lunch couple of weeks ago - good food and very welcoming

Very nice cooked dinner,friendly staff and the interior is delightful 😊

What an absolute shambles. If you have a baby don’t bother going here, no changing facilities was told I can change my baby in front of everyone eating. Which isn’t exactly pleasant for the people eating. Secondly my mother has celiac and they managed to contaminate her food, making her severely ill. The food we were given was completely over cooked and was almost inedible. Maybe they were having an off day but I will not be returning to this establishment any time soon.

What a great place. The staff and owners can't do enough for you. Polite and friendly service. The food is amazing everyone loved it and it came out in a timely manner. I can't recommend this place enough. Absolutely fantastic.

The best meal and atmosphere ever, our server was top notch, elle and kev were awesome as ever and the food.... Well what can I say about the food. It was extremely tasty, the balsamic glaze was the best thing I've ever tasted and everything was spot On. I don't have one bad thing to say about my experience tonight ❤️ can't wait to come back xxx

We arrived at "The Looking Glass" Tredegar to find the Restaurant all shut. Not being from the area we eventually found out that there was another - The Belle Vue Inn - The Looking Glass.As we were now 22 minutes past our allocated slot we phoned to tell them that we'd gone to the wrong one but we were on our way. We were spoken to by quite an "off" member of staff who told us that they would check if we could still come as we were late. Chef said "yes" but also that we'd create a "back-log" of orders by turning up so food would be slower. No problem we thought, we were excited to visit!On arrival we did our Track and Trace (information on a notepad with all other patrons names and numbers - not allowed under GDPR) and sat down. The servers were LOVELY, great job, professional and friendly.The dining room didn't have much of a theme but drinks came quickly and starters too. We then proceeded to wait two hours for our mains before calling it a day as we had to get back home.Such a shame, when we asked about our food we were told that because we arrived late food was going to be late. The way we felt was that we were being punished for being late, but not from the area and not told whilst booking to be careful to come to the right Looking Glass. There was another couple looking for the place when we went in to town, only for us to see them at the other one when we arrived.I understand we were late but don't understand why that pushed our food back, our orders were given before hand and I don't see why any Chef cannot cope with guests not being there at a certain time. I dread to think what will happen outside of Covid when capacity is higher, people can come and go at any time and order anything they want without bracing the kitchen a few days before. Won't go again and from our experience wouldn't recommend!
