Does anyone have a recommendation? Usually go to the curry house in Maesteg. What's the old railway station place like for food/ambiance......? Have never fancied it but may be mistaken in this. Thank you... 🙂
It's alright, better standard of food than the curry in Measteg I thought - though it still won't win any Michelin stars any time soon.
if you get to port talbot and turn left there is another indian - pretty good.
also italian/ mexican type beach bar near the beach (if you can call it that) but it shuts 9ish
both ok - nothing amazing. the italian does proper ice cream tho.
Train station was ok for your run of the mill bar fare. Nice big steak portion.
Train Station (The Refreshment Rooms)in Cymer ,Has always been very resonible for good pub meals ,
Alan who is chef/landlord has always been very good to us
Never had any trouble from locals
Have been four years in a row so far and always made welcome
Gammon steak, Rump steak & the pasta dishes are all good in the railway station in Cymmer.
Food at Refreshment rooms has always been fine, esp the fillet steak.
word of warning DON'T TRY THE STEAK AFAN
Green Lanterns does good food too.
Colliers is pretty decent. I had a very rare ribeye there once that was pretty good.
Thanks for input guys. Have been to Colliers, nice, and pleasant outsidey bit I think. Feel more inclined towards railway place now.
Colliers seems to get worse every time we go.

Good food and entertaining locals 🙂
The Afan lodge does good food and great people.....
T-Bones in Cimla (part of Green Lanterns) lovely steak
Has no one yet recommended a pizza and plenty of Brains at the Drop Off of an evening?

No, because they are either too busy watching their bikes so they don't get nicked or they don't want to get ripped of by the staff when they get to the till.
I've always used the Refreshment rooms, as we usually stay at the bryn teg. The locals have alway been ok, even stayed in there till 2 in the morning, one thing they don't do food Sunday night.Do not use the takeaway
chinese just up the road, it will block you up for days.
peteimpreza, I have never, in all my many visits to GC had anything of the sort occur.
Top spot.
Another shout for Green Lanterns, the food is large and good quality.
2nd'ing Afan Lodge. Excellent food, reasonable prices and wonderful hosts.
Can i third the [url= http://www.afanlodge.com/ ]Afan Lodge,[/url] not actually been there myself yet, however the head chef is my little bro, so i know his food is good!!
The refreshment rooms was pretty good (that old train station).
T-Bones at the Green Lantern is more expensive but the steaks are better.
We ordered a curry on one night (probably from the place at Maesteg) and it was suprisingly good.
Had no idea there was that much choice round Afan.... Only problem now is that I'm no good at making decisions..... 😉
Well another vote from me now for the Afan Lodge! Great food, lovely interior, really nice bar staff. How many places would you go where the barmaid shares her giant chocolate buttons?
What I couldn't eat from my Welsh Cheese Plate (yum!) were packaged up for me to take away, in tin foil made to look like a little silver handbag 🙂
Anna thanks for that i'll let my little bro know you liked his food 😉
You can tell your little bro that it sounded great until discovering the prospect of being given a little silver handbag.
Unless something has changed at the Station in four years, the food and the ale was bland and tasteless when I visited. Afan Lodge is better but, the new visitor centre is ace, if you are prepared to eat a bit early! Otherwise, take your own food..................
new visitor centre
?
Has anyone stayed at Afan Lodge? How much are the rooms there? (I didn't know it existed, despite the fact I must have driven past it a few times)
Not stayed there, but asked the prices. Something like £65, £70 and £80 depending on whether you have a room at the front or the back or family room.
Refreshment Rooms place seems to have gone downhill (no pun). Had two ales showing on handpumps (pump clips showing to customers), ordered a pint of the first to be told it had all gone. OK, I'll have the other instead, nope, that's all gone also. Riiiiight, pint of the cider then, nope, that's gone.
FFS!
