Hafod - Ceredigion

Fabulous Sunday lunch. We were told we'd enjoy it by the man behind the bar he wasn't wrong. We both had roast dinners (good value). So much food crammed onto one plate with lots of flavours plenty of gravy. Staff all lovely. Highly recommended

Another wonderful evening/meal at the Hafod this evening. 3 courses… first class… service 2nd to none. Love it. If you don’t visit, you’re missing out.

We have been in this village last 3 days. We had drink on this pub Thursday and Friday night and for our last night we decided to have dinner here as well. We ordered cheese platter (you can’t get anything wrong with cheese from packet and beef pork meatballs which for some reason had tumeric/ cumin seasoning in. Very overpowered by the tomato sauce. Which is very unusual for Italian dish. I had the burger. The cheddar bear in mind £2 per slice extra wasn’t even melt on meat. Meat was very dry, bun wasn’t toasted. Someone just send it without minimum effort with charging high end prices . The cherry on cake was my husband’s steak. Good lord help. He ordered it medium rare . The steak looked like it’s been slapped on stone cold solid top pan. (Definitely not grill , no seared at all . When young member of staff came to double check if everything is ok (bless him , he was trying the best , my husband asked for the senior staff (lovely lady behind the bar. I believe he explained her we are not happy. Once she came , my husband explained what was wrong with it. She apologised and took it back very professionally. Thank you for that. After few minutes she came back and basically said their chef refused to make another steak and my husband should choose something else from menu. Unfortunately after 23 years working as chef and still working as head chef in high end restaurant that was the most unprofessional and RUDE answer we both ever came a cross (I work in hospitality as well . However we still paid service charge as we did very much enjoyed drinks there every night we stayed. Perhaps more training needed in the kitchen.

Can’t fault our experience at the Haford at all. It’s was our first time here and we will definitely be back. We booked a Sunday lunch after having a morning walk at the Hafod estate. The staff we very friendly, and the food was amazing! Literally the best Sunday roast we have had anywhere. We both had the beef brisket which was melt in your mouth! Cooked perfectly. Plenty on the plate, we certainly didn’t go away feeling hungry! Nice relaxed atmosphere aswell. I’m surprised to see reviews saying the food it expensive for what it is? We found it completely the opposite! Very happy with our visit, thank you Haford. We look forward to returning. Laura Leigh Cooper.

Certainly this place has an advantage as being the only nearby restaurant to tourist spot Devil’s Bridge. The service is super friendly and caring, we had three different workers look after us during our lunch stop. Unfortunately we can’t say the food was as nice as the service in addition to being overpriced, the portions are quite modest. We all felt hungry after our meal and (regrettably) then forked out more dough on dessert. Dear friends lower your prices, increase your portion size, but keep your adorable and lovely staff!
