A 20 minute wait for a black coffee when It wasn't even busy. I got a bit tired of standing at the counter waiting for my takeaway coffee so decided to sit outside and wait. I politely told the girl serving where I'd be and got a rude look and reply. What a miserable bunch !

Having recently visited the amazing locks at Devizes, we thought we would visit here. The locks have gone to rot and ruin, and it is impossible to see that the channel will ever be operational again, given the M4 bridge at the bottom.
Throughly depressing, except for the quite good ice cream, though that wouldn’t Make me visit again.

Best ever Santa visit - this Santa spent ages talking to my granddaughter asking real questions. Present was great - photo was great - staff were amazing. Went in café - good prices for excellent food and tea etc. £4 for Santa inc. a good present and only £1.50 for a photo which staff print off for you - amazing.

Visited the cafe today and enjoyed a cup of tea and cake outside on the table and chairs supplied for customers to enjoy their refreshments in the beautiful surroundings. At 4.30 half an hour before closing, the tables and chairs were taken inside.whenn I questioned if they were closing I was told "no just taking them inside" when asked what happens if more customers came, I was told "there is nobody here " 5 minutes later an elderly lady came and ordered a cup of tea/coffee. She had to go inside and get herself a chair and when the waitress came with her tea it was put on the floor with a jug of milk. The elderly customer had to bend down and put milk in her drink and pick it up and put it back on the floor. I was told by the lady that when she went there last week at the same time,she was told to sit on the bench around the corner. What a way to treat customers who are paying for refreshments and expecting to enjoy it in the fresh air ,half an hour before the cafe shuts.

Visited with my daughter and two grandchildren. Waited 40 minutes for our order. Then to be told they had run out of ham. The kids had already drank their drinks and were getting restless. Three times I enquired how long would our order be. I said and they could see how restless the children had become could we just have their meals but no nothing.
Such a shame it’s run so badly. If you want quick food then stay away

Went for an afternoon stroll with my husband & 3year old twin boys, to what we thought was a family friendly activity, only to be confronted by very scary canal drops into stagnant water & a group of 6 boys on bikes trying to take one of my son's, threatening us for money or we would never see him again, obviously We just picked up our sons & pushed our way threw the boys, but if I had taken my boys on my own I dread to think what would have happened as the boys targeted me & my smaller son, who was scare stiff after being almost pulled out of my arms. Not the best family experience.!!!

Christmas Time i took my children to a xmas fayre, waited 45 mins to see santa, with a 1 &2 year old, in the end gave up, on the way out, someone mentioned to go to the 14 locks instead, so I did...
What a magical Christmas Experience!
Everyone was dressed as elves, my children entered a spot the difference competition, (which i later had a phonecall saying my son had won!) it was so organised, and such an enjoyable time for the kids,
I was asked their ages upon paying, they were given a coloured number (which indicated the agegroup of toy they would receive off santa) the elves were ringing bells, and santa let the kids sit on his knee, they enjoyed it so much it put such a smile on my face after the disappointing start of the day, I took my young brother in law who was 9 at the time too and even he enjoyed it!
And on the plus the prizes were fab too!
Cant wait to pop up there on a thursday through the summer holidays as they're having activity mornings and if Xmas was anything to go by, then they'll have a ball :)

Enjoyed the cafe but the walk was disappointing as the canal is overgrown and the lock gates are in a state of disrepair.

This is not based on the cafe at all but solely on the walk. A friend and I came here hoping to have a scenic walk along the canal but we were left feeling very disappointed. The locks are not working locks any longer and there isn't really much to see as you take a stroll. At one point we were alongside the m4 for a good ten minutes. Very disappointing as it's on my doorstep and I was hoping to use it as a regular walking path.

We had coffee and bacon rolls in the cafeteria before our walk. The service , food and coffee is excellent and sensibly priced and well worth a visit. Then take a walk up the canal heading toward Risca, the towpath is in first class condition with no mud and very easy walking, the views as you approach Risca are magnificent .

Can you walk to Cwmbran along the canal ? Fancy walking there and back if possible. Cheers
Written December 3, 2017
That’s no problem, it’s a decent walk. The canal does break up briefly just past Two locks in Cwmbran as you near the town centre where it has been diverted into tunnels. You can carry onto Brecon if you like.
