        Food was absolutely stunning. We were a table of 3 (2 adults and a 7yo child) and the staff were fabulous, especially with our child. We had the sharer starter of baked camembert, the Welsh featherblade of Beef and Aberdunant burger for main and the chocolate & honeycomb cheesecake for dessert and everything was beautiful. Our child had 3 courses off the children's menu and also had a colouring sheet to keep him occupied. We dined at 6pm and it wasn't busy or noisy. By time we had finished, there were quite a few people in the bar area but the noise was not excessive. The ambiance was not ruined by more people beinv in the bar area. Would definitely dine here again

        Beautiful restaurant, cosy, welcoming and lovely decor. The food is freshly made and prepared with care and presented beautifully. We had a New Zealand Sauvignon blanc which was excellent. The staff were very attentive, however they need to be reminded not to clear plates away until all diners are finished. We would definitely return, when in the area.
        Aberdunant HallResponded on October 11, 2026
        Thank you for your lovely review. We are delighted you enjoyed the warm and welcoming atmosphere of our restaurant, along with the freshly prepared food, presentation and your choice of wine. It's particularly pleasing to hear your kind comments about our attentive team. We also appreciate your observation regarding clearing plates and will certainly remind the team of the importance of allowing all guests to finish their meals before clearing the table. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback. It's wonderful to hear that you would return, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Aberdunant when you're next in the area!

        Restaurant at Aberdent hall. The breakfast is not bad but for £14 p/p maybe a little too much
        Aberdunant HallResponded on October 9, 2026
        Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed your breakfast, although we appreciate that value for money can be a matter of personal opinion. At £14 per person, our breakfast includes a full continental selection alongside our hot breakfast buffet, with unlimited bean to cup coffees, teas and fruit juices, all included in the price. We believe this offers our guests a generous breakfast with plenty of choice and good value for money. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back to Aberdunant in the future.

        Beautiful place and ambience. Starter and pudding were divine. Carvery was nice but would have benefitted from the cauliflower cheese/creamed leeks being stirred so didn’t look congealed. Roast potatoes were hard. Beef was overcooked but that’s my personal preference. Will still go back but just slightly disappointed with the carvery.
        Aberdunant HallResponded on October 9, 2026
        Thank you for your lovely comments about Aberdunant and our restaurant. We are delighted you enjoyed the atmosphere and that your starter and dessert were such a highlight. We are sorry that some elements of the carvery didn't quite meet your expectations. We appreciate your constructive feedback and I will certainly pass your comments on to our kitchen team. It is lovely to hear that you still plan to return, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another visit.

        Very long time waiting. The staff seem very rushed off their feet! The carrots and cabbage were almost raw, don't think they had seen a pan of boiling water! My roast beef was mostly fat and quite chewy! My son had the lamb and he said that was lovely. Asked for a menu to look at desserts, half an hour later still not got one so fetched one myself. Then waited another 15 minutes and had to ask for someone to take our order! The old grey haired man who collects plates was very rude! Seemed like he doesn't want to be there and has no social skills! We came here last year while on holiday and it was lovely, that's why we booked again. It has gone downhill since last year. Probably won't come again. Stick to Toby Carvery in future. Quite disappointed Ellen
        Aberdunant HallResponded on October 9, 2026
        Thank you for your feedback. We are genuinely surprised and saddened by your review, particularly as you enjoyed your previous visit and we regularly receive lovely comments about our food and service. We are sorry your carvery did not meet your expectations and particularly regret the delays with dessert service. Regarding Neil, he is frequently praised for his kindness and customer care. He recalls assisting an elderly gentleman when you approached him and politely asking you to bear with him. We are sorry if this came across differently than intended. We value our returning guests and are disappointed that this visit did not match your previous experience. We sincerely hope you will consider returning in the future.

        The food was very good, nice and fresh. The lamb was nice and pink and very tasty. The vegetables were nicely cooked, not overdone. The apple crumble was delicious and not a small portion. The service was professional and friendly. All in a a very pleasant lunch, and not expensive.

We really appreciate your kind comments and look forward to welcoming you back to Aberdunant again soon.
