The Gadlys Arms in Rhondda Cynon Taf

Myself and 2 friends have become regulars before we go to see a show in Aberdare, and we love it there . We recommend the duck. It's fabulous.

What a great pub, food was great the staff friendly

Been going to the gadlys arms off & on for over 30 years, mainly for Sunday lunch but have been for bar meals on numerous occasions & I've never been disappointed.Quality quality evertime.Don't listen to reviews try it yourself & then judge.I know you will be pleasantly surprised.

Prawn cocktail to start, ribeye steak for main, quality thick steak cooked to perfection, homemade onion rings and much more.... Food was outstanding, we had a fabulous night and felt truly welcomed and looked after by the owners, great value for money, returning very soon!

Okay food and good service. Good choice of menu but found food was slightly overcooked. Good size portions and impressive bar choice but chips were also overcooked and became inedible after a bit. Some nice deserts on the board and a good specials board but thru need to update it when they run out of a meal option (especially since its written with chalk)!Nice setting for a meal.

We were attending an athletic meet in Aberdare and googled this pub. We arrived and were seated. It was a Sunday so main menu was limited. I had the lamb dinner which was really good. My wife has the gammon which was swimming in grease and my daughter had chicken nuggets. The nuggets were hard and were replaced with only a dish full of hard chips between both meals. £27 and most of the food was sent back. Lovely pub and great atmosphere but food could be better.

First of all I got sausage and mash with GRAVY and peas and when I got It I was going to ask where my sausages are but I realised they where buried under 2 pounds of gravy which didn’t taste that good and they asked ‘ Do you want some more gravy?’ I looked at my plate and back at her and said ‘ No thanks’ anyway my family member got cod with extra plastic on it. So we bought some garlic bread but it came with no garlic and the chips were burnt. At the end we told the manager about the plastic and all they said was’ we are so sorry the (only) cook didn’t have his glasses on’ so he didn’t see the burnt chips, garlic bread with no garlic, how much gravy he put on and to top it off he didn’t see the plastic and most importantly it was my aunts birthday. I would love to do a 0.1 star review but you can’t do that

Will visit here again for sure. Lunch after long walk. Less than £8 for the biggest fish & chips ever had. Eclectic choice of seating. I sat in garden under a huge cover. Very confortable lunch

Last time I visited was for a funeral unfortunately. However, the food was done to perfection and could not ask anything more really. The pub itself is clean and well presented. The landlord and landlady have had this place for a long time and I think they have built it up to a good standard. So many places decline and die off. I am glad this pub has not done that.

Excellent service and good pub fair with a good selection of fish dishes too. We are always warmly welcomed and treated well. There is plenty of food - I like my food but there is no way I can eat three courses!Not sure about the experiences of others but it doesn't reflect our experiences. A family member travels from Swansea regularly to eat there because she enjoys it.Keep doing what your doing Pat and the rest if the team - it works for us!
