What Caledfryn doesn't like about Aleppo Merchant:
Have enjoyed good meals at the Aleppo over the years but recently have been disappointed with the quality. On last visit had to request a replacement pint of Guinness that did not taste right (and I do know my Guinness). This was changed with no apology offered or word spoken. Then the gammon steak arrived. Small, cremated and hardly edible. Didn't feel like complaining again so didn't. Wife enjoyed her meal (braised... View all feedback.

The Aleppo Merchant Inn in Carno presents a mixed dining experience. While some guests rave about the excellent breakfasts and tasty Sunday roasts, others lament the lackluster food quality, including cold, undercooked dishes served in small portions. The ambiance reportedly lacks charm, resembling a dated pub, and service can be hit-or-miss, with some staff providing warmth while others seem disinterested. Additionally, late-night options are minimal, leaving late arrivals with few choices. Despite these inconsistencies, the pub's friendly atmosphere and convenient location for exploring scenic Wales appeal to certain visitors, making it a hit-or-miss destination for those seeking a satisfying meal.
