The Loft - Neath Port Talbot

We had booked a lunch for a special family occasion, but unfortunately, we were left very disappointed with our experience. While the starters were good, the main courses were lacking. The sirloin steak priced at £21.45 was small and only accompanied by one potato, some small tomatoes, and sauce. We even had to pay an additional £3.25 for extra fries. The sea bass special came on a large bed of rice, but had very little seafood such as prawns. Additionally, we ordered a jug of red Pimms advertised on our table for £12.95, but what we received was essentially yellow fizzy lemonade with some ice cubes and mint leaves. This was a letdown compared to our previous excellent visits to the restaurant.

Disappointing visit with friends, we are all local and like supporting local businesses. This was a disaster from the start, the staff don’t acknowledge you and leave you without drinks all night, we waited over 90 minutes for service. The food was horrendous having to send some of it back because it wasn’t edible. Our advice would be to avoid and stay away, there are plenty of business that appreciate custom and try really hard to retain their customers.

Friendly service. Tasty and well presented food. Sat in conservatory and enjoyed the views up to the snow capped hills. Enjoyed the desserts. Lively atmosphere as lunch was finishing and afternoon tea guests were arriving.

A little disappointed with the menu choice. Service was friendly , location is lovely. A specials board is much needed. We will try again in the Spring/Summer.

We visited The Loft today to try out their new menu. The restaurant itself was very impressive, with charming decor, great music, and stunning views. The set menu offered a good variety of dishes, as did the regular menu. The food arrived promptly, was well presented, and the portions were generous. The starters of chicken skewers, Brie wedges, and garlic mushrooms were all delicious and portion sizes were satisfying. The mains of fish and chips, chicken curry, and lasagne were fantastic in taste and presentation, with generous portion sizes. Dessert options were varied, but we all chose the Belgian Waffle with Nutella which was absolutely delightful. The staff were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. Overall, we highly recommend The Loft for a visit.
