First time at the Horse and jockey. Went with Family to celebrate my retirement. The building was nice enough but it was a little cold inside. My daughter was putting out some happy retirement table confetti but was quickly asked to stop and pick it up. We pre ordered and the food came quickly, three of us had the Rump steak which was a little fatty which spoilt it but the meat part was cooked well enough. Had to ask for the pudding menu after waiting a while the selection was not huge but again was nice enough. The staff were nice enough but not that attentive. Will probably go back but will steer clear of the steak.

We thought it might be a bit pricey, but the food was well worth it.

Took my elderly relatives here for lunch. Food really excellent. Good beer. And when they saw my one cousin using a stick, they changed our table to a more accessible one without my saying anything. Really good experience and well worth the 5 stars

This was our first visit to the Horse & Jockey since moving to the area. When we arrived it was very busy, but we were seated pretty quickly and the staff were chatty and had a great sense of humour despite being rushed off their feet. The meal was fantastic - we both had the same main course of slow roasted pork belly, with black pudding, red cabbage and mashed potatoes. Huge portions! It was good to have a choice of alcohol-free ciders (I was driving) and my husband was spoilt for choice with plenty of beers and ciders to choose from. There was also live music (two guys from the band The Now) who did a great set of rock covers. We'll definitely be back soon.

Came over to Wales to help a friend in need. They suggested we come here for lunch as the food is very good, and it's a nice venue.Totally agree! As you walk in its clean, tidy, well laid out and feels homely.We were taken to our table and started to peruse the menu.Had been told the fish and chips was delicious, but more on that in a mo. We looked at the menu, veggie / vegan section at the back - thank you.The specials board had halloumi fries so couldn't resist... Him indoors had the same and our friend had the calamari. Me and the Mr went for a brie and mushroom burger, ended up being halloumi but not an issue. Our friend went for the aforementioned fish and chips.Starters arrived and the only slight issue was barbecue sauce instead of sweet chilli - very quickly rectified.Our plates were whisked away, and after enough time to chew the fat and put the world to rights our mains arrived.The fish and chips did indeed look magnificent - I pinched a small piece of the end and concur that it was light and crispy batter with very nicely cooked fish.Our burgers were lovely, but instead of brie they contained more halloumi! Not an issue for me, but the Mr was a bit annoyed. It tasted fantastic, though, and the chips were just gorgeous.I believe this establishment has only been open for a few years. I would love to go back soon, and hope that it is there for a long time to come!Only taken a star off the food as some of ours was a bit wrong. Aside from that it was indeed excellent.

Lovely pub, felt cosy and nicely decorated. The staff were super friendly and totally in the right jobs. Really felt like they wanted to ensure you were looked after. We went for lunch without booking and I'm so pleased we did as I will definitely go again. The food was so good, good size portions and hot food. Thank you

More of an Asian and pungent spice kind of foodie, however, happy to have a pub lunch too. Not been to the pub for about 8 years, the belly pork here was absolutely my favourite British type dish ever!Thank you!

Took a party of four for an evening meal, 2x belly pork and 2x burgers. Bill came to circa £110. The ambience was awful. The pub was freezing cold, first time I have had to eat a meal in a zipped up puffer jacket and bobble hat. The food was pretty awful and definitely not worth the money, followed within a few hours with my partner falling very ill will vomiting and stomach cramps. Do yourself a favour and take your custom elsewhere there are much better alternatives to be found locally.

The staff was polite. I ordered the hunter chicken but not so good.The meat was dominated by barbeque sauce and I couldn't feel any taste except the sauce..The drinks were good though.
