Lunch At The Old House - More ‘Tasty Temptations’ Down The Pub!

This week we are at The Old House 1147 in Llangynwyd near Maesteg, South Wales. It’s time for another Welsh country pub lunch.
The pub lunch series continues in the old village of Llangynwyd and another very old pub. Llangynwyd is a quiet hilltop village near Maesteg, South Wales.
The Old House 1147 refers to the date of the first pub on this site. The current building dates from the 17th Century with later 18th and 19th additions and now with a modern extension at the back. It still retains its thatched roof.
The restaurant has views across the Llynfi Valley.
The Llynfi Valley used to be covered with coal mines and ironworks. The coal produced in the local mines was of very high quality however the last mine closed in 1985.

Thanks for the tour. From one Marcus to another

[@James-zg9lq]

Loved seeing The videos I love them.

[@flydriveexplore]

Thanks

Lovely grub there.

[@Welshwarrior85]

I love your videos, I love the informative bits about the areas and the recommendations

[@flydriveexplore]

Thanks. Glad you like them!

[@Welshwarrior85]

@@flydriveexplore my parents went to the pelican down ogmore after seeing your video the other day. They enjoyed it so much they recommended it to us, so we are going this Tuesday!

[@flydriveexplore]

@@Welshwarrior85 Hope you enjoy.

[@stro8202]

Excellent video as always, great to see you both in the Llynfi Valley 👍

[@flydriveexplore]

Thanks 👍

[@ronaldpowys6285]

Hi Marcus and Mel. I have been a follower of both your channels for some time, always enjoy your videos. I enjoyed this one in particular, having grown up in the Llynfi Valley area (but now living in Perth, WA) and since my wife and I will be visiting Wales next month, we hope to have a meal at Yr Hen Dy! I am also glad you are planning to do a video about Llangynwyd, as its history and that of the immediate area, are fascinating. Keep the videos coming ! Wayne Powys

[@flydriveexplore]

Cheers, thanks for watching. Hope you have a great time when you visit. Yes, I hope to get back up there in the summer. 👍

[@chrisholly9844]

Close to my heart this one thanks Marcus my Father was named Cynwyd and the private Cemetery is where Dad and Mam are Buried and my Grandparents. Wonderful history and there is an old what was a wooden castle behind one of the farms down the road together with Hill forts further up the mountain towards Margam and where the Monks used to use the Cistercian way to Neath Abbey from Llangewydd lost village and churches Standing Stones marked on old maps.

[@flydriveexplore]

Yes, the old Glamorgan ridgeway is very close.

[@jonnywebb5794]

The best so far !! Me thinks 😊

[@flydriveexplore]

I like this series. Sitting down eating rather than walking 6 miles over a mountain in the rain.

[@MellissaWilliamsjewellerylover]

I like it better too 😂

[@trigger1471]

Rain aside,what a nice looking little village,& a nice looking pub,great vid as always.

[@flydriveexplore]

Thanks 👍 It's been years since I've been up there.

[@GwynnB]

Good video Marcus Porthcawl chip shops are much cheaper lol 😂

[@flydriveexplore]

Thanks - Although not that much cheaper at the moment. We have to do a video on the best value eats.

[@GwynnB]

@Fly Drive Explore we had a jumbo sausage from my favourite chip shop in Porthcawl it was £2 not cheap

[@flydriveexplore]

@@GwynnB Where was that! You've made us hungry now. Chips tomorrow, maybe.

[@GwynnB]

@Fly Drive Explore from chips to go.. I'm on a diet can't have chips only had a sausage lol 😆

[@AM-Dance]

Hi Marcus and Mel, it was nice meeting you both yesterday and thanks for showing us the way to Porthcawl town and we had our pasties there! Enjoyed watching your lovely very well-made informative videos! Looking forward to seeing your next one soon. Happy Easter! See you both again soon. 😉

[@flydriveexplore]

Hi, it was good to meet you. Glad you enjoyed the pasty. More videos coming up over the summer, hope to bump into you again. Mel and Marcus

[@WelshLad.]

Another great video Marcus. Should have tried The Corner House Inn opposite the Old House they also do nice food.

[@flydriveexplore]

We will try and get there in the near future.

[@michellebruce5092]

Hi Marcus, Awesome live video I enjoyed it the food looks yummy and delicious. Happy Easter to you and your family. See you next video 😊 greetings from Canada

[@flydriveexplore]

Happy Easter to you as a well.

[@huwfoxhall547]

You should try the Highwayman pub down in the Vale of Glam near Cardiff airport.lovely food.and also the skirid Inn up by Abergavenny Wales oldest pub and the most haunted pub in wales.recemend the both pubs🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍👍love watching your videos keep up the good work 👍👍

[@flydriveexplore]

Thanks, we know those pubs but we've never been. They are now on the list.

[@timothymarsh1760]

Hello from the States. Another entertaining, informative and well-made video. Brought up The Old House 1147 on the laptop and took the virtual tour. It looks very rustic and clean inside. The floor to ceiling windows bring in a lot of natural light, even on an overcast and rainy day. The lamb and chicken portions were very generous, enough to get you thru the rest of the day. I added The Old House 1147 to my list of pubs to go to when I eventually get to Wales. Happy Easter to you and Mel. Be safe and stay well.

[@flydriveexplore]

Yes, from the front you can't notice the large extension overlooking the valley at the back. The portions were generous.

[@skywarpgrayskull9261]

Hi Marcus, very much enjoying these pub videos. My partner and I often visit the Angel Inn , Glynneath. There is a lovely waterfall walk right next to it which you may enjoy, hope it is not too far a drive.

[@flydriveexplore]

Thanks - that pub is another one for the list.

[@kevparry3687]

Another great video. Always meant to visit there. My wife and two daughters went recently while I’m out here slaving away in Saudi. Absolutely outrageous behaviour… I’ll be having words.

[@flydriveexplore]

Yes, that's not on. Far too much enjoyment going on in your absence.

[@monsieurbono]

🥰

[@j.j.leganeur3184]

Should note 44.40 Sterling Pounds = 53.90 USD, after -21.00 discount for special two course lunch. That seems appropriate for what looks and sounds like really fine dining. Cheesecake is my favorite and I have never seen a slice quite like that. Seems like they whipped in some crushed bits of biscoff and bara brith, and added some fresh berries. Must be good.

[@flydriveexplore]

Yep, Mel really enjoyed that cheesecake.

[@RetroGam3rUK]

Thankyou for this video. We are looking at buying a house nearby and have just popped into this pub for lunch while we are waiting. Thanks to watching your vid Omg it's so nice, food was amazing and we were allowed to bring the dog into the bar area or the garden. Watched alot of your videos to learn more about the South wales. So thank you

[@flydriveexplore]

Cheers. Glad you found it useful.

[@RetroGam3rUK]

​@Fly Drive Explore we are moving from south west England to south wales. So its a big move and your videos are helping alot in knowing more about the areas. So a big thankyou

[@Sanddancer1]

thankyou for the history of that place and the review i fancy going up with the mrs just one thing tho on your bill it says supplenent £4 what was that ?

[@flydriveexplore]

The lamb had a supplement to the lunch price

[@Sanddancer1]

@@flydriveexplore what does that cover pls i dont understand ?

[@flydriveexplore]

@@Sanddancer1 The two-course offer is £17.50 but the lamb is more expensive and has a supplement of £4 if you choose it. All other mains are part of the £17.50 offer and don't have a supplement.

[@Sanddancer1]

@@flydriveexplore thanks for your time it had got me wondering 👍

[@NatSatFat]

Hello down south, out again? nice pub grub you both get, and I agree with you it's expensive, and what is interesting is number 7 on your bill it says "Supplement" that is £4, I wonder what that is for? something a little extra you did'nt show us? something for the band playing in the background? (not) or an nasty bit of cost added in instead of a service charge? who knows? I did not hear any complaint from you Marcus about this nasty addition?

[@flydriveexplore]

Hi - Two courses for £17.50 except the lamb which had a £4 supplement.

[@Mazza240]

The meal looked lovely. Bit overpriced on the dash of lime! Sounds very noisy/echoing in the dining room.

[@ianjames8794]

Food looked nice. £1 for a dash of lime.🙈

[@flydriveexplore]

The food was good. The drink, still better and cheaper than the dreaded 'Pepsi'

[@ianjames8794]
