The Upper Cocks - Torfaen

Average pub grub in very noisy setting. Visited on a Saturday night and it was very busy. The food was ok nothing special, however the service was excellent. We were a large party who had pre ordered and everyone got the meals they ordered. Due to the noise it was impossible to have a conversation with those in my own party. Really not my cup of tea.

Lived up to expectations ! Booked a table well in advance so many people speak so well of this pub for its food so do book ahead. Standard pub menu fish and chips, steaks, curry as well as specials on the board at the far end of the bar. Lovely friendly staff food took a little time to come , but, all of us enjoyed good size portions . Nevertheless, we all opted for desserts crumble, cheesecakes, bread and butter pudding all offered with a choice of cream, ice cream or custard! What’s not to like ? Now looking forward to return for a Sunday lunch again highly recommended by locals !

Had Sunday lunch today with friends. As soon as we sat down our drinks order was taken and once we had these our food order was taken. We went for the 3 courses and dear me every mouthful was wonderful. Service, food and setting was first class. Many thanks to all the staff for a wonderful afternoon.

The food and service at this restaurant are always excellent. The staff is friendly, professional, and welcoming. I highly recommend this place.

I have been to this restaurant two Fridays in a row and once again experienced fabulous service and delicious food on both occasions. Even though the restaurant was busy, the service was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. I will definitely be returning in a few weeks.
