Reviews of The Haywain

J. S.

This place is always a pleasant experience. I've been here for food a few times, it's absolutely delicious and way above normal pub standard food. We came the other day and it was really busy, the bar staff told us it would probably be up to an hour for food, but that wasn't a problem, we expected to be waiting when we saw how busy it was. Unfortunately they had ran out of several drinks I asked for which was a little frustrating. The food then arrived and it was alright. I think because of how busy it was they were struggling in the kitchen to keep up and it effected the quality of food. It was a shame as normally the food here is excellent. I'm not saying it was bad but just not up to their normal standards. However I can't really complain because we had a 50% off main meals, so two of us had large platters that only cost £6 in the end. So despite my slight complaints I would still strongly recommend visiting the Haywain, I'm sure if it's not as busy you'll be pleasantly suprised by the food.

L. S.

Nice food and good value for money, service was quick

L. B.

Reasonable food and good service and popular for kids parties so floor and tables can get covered in food.

G. B.

D. C.

How was the Haywain ? busy, staff stretched but service was brisk and with a smile. shame about a horrid quiz (imported). i'm a quizer but my brain needs a rest 😉

A. R.

Nice food*** Needs to clean carpet that's the only down fall... reasonable prices good selection of food...

M. L.

Enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere, friendly staff

R.

Rated due to value for money. Well priced, decent quantity and quality of food. Polite staff. Needs a bit of furnishing as rather bare, and either a good clean or cleaning liquids changed, every surface I touched, bar, table, doors were all relatively sticky. I'm surprised they're not being more pro-active in still trying to seat people a good distance away, loads of empty tables and the few people inside were all seated by staff central of the room. No criticism of the service or food though. All in all a good experience!

C. J.

Good beer and food. Friendly staff. Not too fancy but that can be a good thing.

K. B.

Decent priced beers compared to local competition, however decor is incredibly outdated the place is in desperate need of a facelift

The "Haywain Inn" is, in my opinion,the welcome you recieve when visiting,as a regular like my self,or as a new customer.The service is excellent,and the food ordered,is well presented and good value for money.I would recommend a visit,just for a drink or food.Well done to Mr.David Franklyn and his staff.

A. G.

Dine-in recently. Initially tried to book a table online but was redirected to ring the pub but when you ring the pub it ask you to book online or try again. After spending about several hours to ringing with the same answerphone message, I gave up. We just turned up. It wasn't busy, with a few reserved table for some 4-5 hrs ahead. Btw, the number to ring apparently doesn't work, how many missed booking would it before? Food was ordered at the bar and we didn't have to wait long. Good value for money but chips was a bit over done. Its one of very few local pub staff are friendly so will go again to keep the business.

Been coming here for years with my mates. Great food at a great price, and a good selection of beers, lagers and wines etc, to quench your thirst. We enjoy eating here, drinking here, playing pool (£1 a go), playing cards, sitting in the garden area and in the 3 different rooms they have. The staff are always friendly and attentive. Couldn't be better, and so far (fingers crossed) haven't had a negative thing to save about them. Keep it up!!

I visited about 5:30 p.m. it was nice and quiet, no children. Even the food was good. I would recommend this pub as a quick drop and eat. Although the food is not up market cuisine, it can still occasionally surprise.

Great service, great food. Amazing with the kids perfect family place

G. G.

Staff very friendly. Food not such good value for money. If there was a JDW in caldicot this place would proberly be closed within weeks.

H. H.

I took a 89 year old lady from church for lunch, and the barmaid couldn't do enough to make her feel comfortable

W. B.

First let me say the staff is very friendly and helpful. They know their beers and alcohol very well. That said, knowing the beers they have in stock shouldn't be difficult because the selection is limited. The atmosphere is quiet, and there are plenty of televised events playing. I can not say anything about the food as I did not order, nor look at a menu.

S. S.

Simple place but where I ate a delicious salad and my fellow diners also found everything good.

E.

The food was ok. The portions weren't particularly large.

M. S. S.

Not from the area but the pub was a good visit

W. A.

One of the few pubs that is still operating in Caldicot. A lovely family pub with a bar for the younger group. If you are new to the area, buy a beer and make a lot of honest friends. Friendly staff and the best punters in town.

c. p.

Lovely food and very hot

E.

I dine here once a week, staff are always friendly and helpful. They come to check the food is good, if you ordered any. There are a wide variety of choices on the menu and the food is great. Small meals and larger meals (for the bigger appetite) are offered here. Plenty of tables for those just swinging by last minute. Only need to reserve if dining in larger groups of 10 or more. Menu choices are revised to bring something new sporadically, keeps the tastebuds coming back for more!

R. J.

Nice food. Great atmosphere. I will look forward to coming to the Haywain again.

C. C.

Good food reasonably priced, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Would recommend.

L. B.

Great food at a great price with really helpful staff. Please please change the old discussing handles from the toilets back into the main bar. You need some large ones fitted that can be wiped down with more hygiene as the small household one in please at present get really stick with people going back and forth to the wash rooms :-( Other than that 5 starts for service and outstanding staff.

D. B.

Good service Good choice of food and frendly staff

D. P.

Decent well priced food, and always drinks offers on. Well run, lots of events. Friendly staff

P. M.

Good pub with good pub food and beer. Nothing fancy with reasonable prices. Big free car park. It is very popular pub for Sunday lunch. Very child friendly place and also has another big bar with TV screens for watching sports.

H. H.

Not bad today, food was nicely cooked and served, it seems like it depends on what day you go as to how your food is cooked, but we shouldn't complain because the prices are not exactly expensive are they. I guess you could say nice pub food at very good prices

B. J.

Positives: Good prices, lovely breakfast, clean bar/restaurant area, comfortable seating for both large and small. The gents toilets were spectacularly clean. Staff polite. Negatives: Service a bit slow.

A. O.

Great service, such a friendly staff on Sat afternoon! Nothing was too much trouble for them. Food good as always and love those prices :)

C. B.

Good value and friendly staff. The decor could do with a face lift, but that's not a major issue.

N. M.

Had a meal at The Hayain today with my disabled husband as we do most weeks. Food consistently good,Staff friendly and helpful. Rhiannon never seems to stop working. I like the mix of customers,from elderly to little ones. Access good for those less able and wheelchair users.

R. T.

Not the same as it use to be, constant faults with the bar or kitchen. The staff are fantastic, welcoming and friendly. No effort made to keep customers coming back. Use to be my local but rarely up there now

C. H.

my visit was spot on i couldnt of asked for better service

K. g.

Great food if I'm ever there again I'll be eating there again 👍👍👍

D. O.

Very nice place with nice food and a nice pint. It can be very hot inside and the benches outside ain't to the best quality to sit and relax. Good atmosphere most days and friendly people.

D. H.

Staff were great food is much better than t used to be and the breakfast is awesome but come on a pub that does not have shot glasses and serves shots in 1/2 pint beer glasses is not really on is it. Go out and get some plastic ones at least. Half the shot was left in the glass

T. J.

Food is about as good as you'd give your dog, but drinks are good and staff very friendly.

P. H.

Always a great meal. Big portions, reasonable priced and we keep returning

T. C.

We went for lunch today and had great customer service. The food was delivered quickly and was delicious!! Will definitely be returning.

C. B.

Had a lovely breakfast here, good choice if you want a small breakfast or very large breakfast. Free unlimited tea & coffee, latte wasnt expensive & was very nice, the small breakfast was enough for me very tasty, the big sizzling breakfast was huge & very tasty. Staff very friendly & helpful. Great value. Can recommend. Thank you.

The Haywain is a lovely friendly pub. The food has always been good and its recently been completely refurbished. Myself and my family eat here at least once a month. Its good value for money and the staff are friendly and helpful.

The Haywain is a lovely little pub with a great menu, it is a family pub so there can be quite a few children running around at times and it can be quite noisy, but the food is great and staff are friendly.

J. L.

Friendly staff. Excellent choice of food very reasonably priced

G. T.

It was a funeral wake and it was all done very profesional
