Reviewing WALES' OLDEST RESTAURANT! SPEECHLESS!

I'm finally in Wales. I decided to head down to Maesteg in the South West and review the Old House 1167 which is known as the oldest pub and restaurant in the whole of Wales. I was left speechless by what I had!

[@cosmiccat6708]

Well Gary, imagine my surprise when I see you visiting my home town !! I lived three miles up the valley from Llangynwyd, the correct named location of The Old House. I had my 18th birthday meal in the Corner House, which is the second of the only two pub/restaurants in what is known locally as, Top LLan. The Old House has changed so much. It was just a little pub, with dining but it looks so different. I moved from Maesteg about 30 years ago and have visited there a few times since and I tell you what, that valley is as beautiful now as I remember it. I was so lucky to grow up in a place with such incredible surroundings. The food looked lovely, but then, it is good home- made Welsh cooking !. So glad you enjoyed it all and it was an extra special nostalgic treat for me to watch. You certainly chose well. Diolch yn Fawr.(Thanks a lot)

I live about 4 miles away from the old house, and have had many a meal there over the last 50yrs or so, but haven't been there since the take over and refurbishment. Looks really nice, but a little too nice for me. We like the "OLD" bit in the name, as it used to have amazing ambiance and you felt like a person that mattered to the staff, and everything was a bit more personal. Of course, luckily nothing lasts forever, otherwise we would still be living in caves. LOL. Great review by the way, and thanks for the 10 /10 for our lovely area. I am so lucky to have a better view than that from my front patio.

I found this video very helpful in understanding the 4 P rule in Marketing: "Product, price, place, and promotion". The Place is historic, peaceful and picturesque, the food of high quality and savoury, the promotion done cascade like (main menu, set menu and Sunday lunch) which allows people of varied income levels to receive an offer and come to visit the old pub, which leads to the fourth of the ps: the pricing. Very enjoyable episode. Thank you Gary.

[@TyrannosavageRekt]

As a local of the area, I’d like to add to this review with a little insight of the community. The Old House (which has a claim to being one of the oldest pubs in all of the UK, not just Wales, but I believe is pipped to the post slightly), was very much a communal pub in the village. The food on offer was the comforting sort, home-cooking and large portions, as well as being particularly cheap. It wasn’t gourmet, but it was always tasty and filling. The Llynfi Valley, also happens to contain some of the most impoverished parts of the UK, and has very few restaurants on offer. Most of the eateries consist of pubs, cafés, and kebab shops. The Old House (and its’ neighbour, the Corner House) was somewhere the family would go quite regularly. In the last ten years, the family that owned the pub sold it on to someone new, who came along and revitalised the premises. They did away with some of the more traditional fare, in favour of restaurant quality menus, and added on to the building. Whereas the business used to operate as a local pub that also served meals, it went on to become a restaurant that also serves alcohol. For many, it’s become seen as pretentious, too expensive (especially for the “small” portion sizes). Given that it’s an area with little of money, a lot of people prioritise quantity over quality. These aren’t opinions that I share. I think the new owner(s) have done a fabulous job of bringing an à la carte menu to the venue, while maintaining a strong Welsh tradition, and not out-pricing local people. The portion sizes are more than reasonable for the price point as well, and the staff are incredible. I always recommend that the naysayers go up during the lunchtime offering so they can sample it and see how good it really is. A lot of people like to try and put others off. They’ve done amazing things to really emphasise the gorgeous scenery the valley has to offer. 10/10 establishment on our doorstep.

[@StevanBarry]

Well said... I'm a fellow local (born not living) and recently visited. It's about time we had a place like this serving good quality fare. Hardly anyone from the top of the Valley would visit but I'm seeing lots of people move into Maesteg due to house prices... I predict more gentrification over the coming decades...

Hi Gary just witched the old House pub in Maesteg. Wow haven't been there in years. We only live 20 mins away in Bridgend. Already booked a table . Well done Gary you have done it again Glad you enjoyed our wonderful country.

[@GaryEats]

I really hope you have a fantastic visit, Wayne. Please let me know how it goes.

Certainly spacious, the best thing about your reviews is your sheer enjoyment when everything, food, portion size and service, plus scenery and weather come together.

[@GaryEats]

This was easy as it was perfect 👌

[@kc3654]

Yes definitely would cost about £27 for the main with out the extra’s around london and Surrey also about £24. I am so jealous right now, beautiful food and menu in a beautiful place, beautiful area and with your Son! Lovely 🥰

You were so happy and enthusiastic about choosing this place Gary and made me really nervous that you were going to be disappointed in the food. So glad you weren't and that you really enjoyed it.

[@GaryEats]

Loved it and I was also relieved

[@MrChrisrm02]

I’m sat outside this pub right now. Unfortunately it’s raining. First place I’ve travelled to on your recommendation and I’m excited!

[@GaryEats]

I’m really hope you had a fantastic time. Please let me know what you thought.

[@MrChrisrm02]

@@GaryEats it was really good, you were correct on all fronts. The Sunday roast was delicious and the portion size huge! The location is the star of the show. In typical British fashion the next day beaming sunshine 🙄

Oh wow! I don't live far from Maesteg and I never thought I'd see it featured on KZbin. Wales is often forgotten about online 😂 I haven't been to Old House and didn't know it existed. But it's such a beautiful pub, I will have to make a trip.

[@GaryEats]

This is definitely worth a visit, Jamie, I loved my short visit to Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Fantastic choice Gary. I love the old style pubs and restaurants all day long. Being a ex stone mason myself, the stone walls etc craftsmanship at it's best, hats of to the men who worked on this building. Well the views were fantastic in Wales and the food looked well worth the visit. Well done, Gary great review!!

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very much Mark

never been to wales heard its a beautiful place and that lamb looked delicious another good review mate : )

[@GaryEats]

It really was superb

[@MetalSlug13]

So glad you enjoyed. You were positively beaming! I used to live in the area and The Old House could always be relied on for an amazing meal and a great pint. Plus the stunning location and beautiful old building always helps. I'm going to be in the area soon and may have to pay The Old House a long overdue visit

By far the best view/location of any place you have reviewed Gary , absolutely stunning and away from the road traffic . Your body language was saying 10 + . Quarter inch thick lamb slices , amazing deal.
