Most Disliked
Some visitors express concerns about peak times when the inn can reach full capacity, particularly on Sundays around 2 PM. Patrons recommend arriving early or making reservations to avoid disappointment. A few reviewers note that certain menu items can occasionally run out during busy service hours. While the atmosphere is often bustling and vibrant, some diners looking for a quiet meal may find it a bit too lively during rush hours. A few guests mention minor delays in service, especially when the restaurant is at capacity. However, the friendly staff often compensates for any hiccups with their attentive attitude.

Called in for food and a pint, stayed in the bar but was offered to go in the lounge if I wanted to. The staff were friendly, a couple of locals in the bar were friendly and went out of there way to chat. Food was excellent as was the pint of IPA. Definitely be popping back in next time iam down this way. Cheers🍻

One of the greatest meals I’ve ever had! My partner and I were visiting Wales for the day and decided to visited the Globe for a meal. And we both came out having had one of the best culinary experiences of our lives. For starters, I had the Prawns, while my fiancé chose the Mozzarella Stick, both of which were incredibly fresh, and were loaded with flavor. The Mozzarella was so fresh, it had a long pull when you tore it apart. Where as the Prawns were crispy and juicy, with every bite being a delight. For the mains, I had the Loaded Sizzler Chicken Burger special, which was seasoned to perfection, excellently presented, and well portioned. You could tell the chicken was well marinated with the Cajun spices, which complemented the juiciness of the meat. My partner opted for Gammon special, topped with barbecue sauce, pineapple and cheese with a side of chips. Her Gammon was beautifully tender and tangy, with the saltiness of the meat, mixing incredibly with the Barbecue sauce and Pineapple topping. The cheese was the crème de la crème of the meal. Most dishes when you add cheese can be overbearing, but this dish perfectly benefited from the added cheese. Shoutout to Chef Dewi Howells and his team for their incredible work and the wonderful bar staff for being attentive and welcoming myself and my fiancé for one of the best dining experiences ever!
