Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Restaurant's Favourite

I think it is part of a Pub Chain. The place is very popular. It seems best to book in advance The staff are friendly efficient and welcoming. Typical Pub Grub was on the menu with a varied choice The food was enjoyable. It was...well prepared and served. We did not have to wait very long from placing our order to being served. The place was in good decorative order and appeared to be well maintained I am happy to recommend the restaurant at the Stradey Arms.More

Five of us adults had lunch at the Stradey Arms today, celebrating my grandson’s 21st Birthday. The meals were outstanding as usual, and the staff were polite, efficient and professional.

Booked a table for lunch and took my 91 year old father in law out for a treat. We were served by a young gentleman called Fraser and just wanted to say how fab and attentive he was. Nothing was too much trouble for him....All the meals ordered were delicious and affordable. We travelled from Cardiff and we will most definitely be making another visit. 5 star food and service. Thank you.More

Reviewed 21 July 2023

Food was almost inedible. Barbecue sauce was watery and chips were hard overcooked and appeared to have been reheated. My husband's sea bass (wasn't fresh fish as expected more like frozen} was tasteless and the cockle and larva bread sauce more like milk. We were...asked by the waitress initially if all was okay but felt not worth complaining as we wouldn't have chosen a replacement meal anyway. Spoke to the bar lady who took payment and explained that we were not happy but her response was that she would report our comments back to the kitchen no offer of a refund! Staff were pleasant but appeared very young and clearly saw we had not eaten our food but did not approach to ask us why. We eat out on a regular basis and would definitely not recommend to friends or family.More

My Daughter booked lunch for my birthday 21st May. I expected the restaurant to be busy, but there was only one other table occupied by a couple and child. We both ordered the same food, and when it arrived the grilled salmon was over cooked...and dry and stringy. The carrots and peas cold, and the sauce not what I had ordered. The mashed potato was cold and lumpy. I ate very little. When I was asked if the food was ok I said no it was not. The young lady waiting on tables said Chef had apologized and would reduce the price! I pointed out it was not about cost, just the disappointment of being served food no self respecting Chef would send out of the kitchen. Needless to say we did not stay for dessert.More

Large portions at reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and happy to help. You...might need to book because it's a popular place.More
