Amazing Vegan options - Edit
We were very impressed with the amazing vegan options and great service we received. We had the Mushroom Scallops with pea puree and plant based bacon as a starter, it was delicious. For mains we had the Hoi Sin Noodles with vegan beef and Red Wine and Cherry vegan beef flank, they were both absolutely fantastic. For a dessert we got the Jaffa cake slice with vegan ice cream, I think they had another vegan dessert on the menu which was a lemon tart. We definitely want to go back and try their lunch menu and Sunday lunch menu which also look to have really good options.

4 vegan starters and 4 vegan main courses on an evening menu! Superb - Edit
Seen the menu on Eat out vegan Wales, and thought wow but will it be any good! Nice and easy to book, quite busy when we got there but excellent service from Vegan owner Owen and Kelly behind the bar, I opted for the King Oyster Mushroom scollaps with fresh mint pea purée and vegan bacon! So tasty absolutely loved it, then for mains I had the plant based steak in cherry and red wine sauce, we also had the shepherds pie! Both were so flavour some, the cherry sauce was outstanding! Room temperature lemon tart for dessert with an Americano, what was great that the 3 tables around us 5 meals completely vegan only one not! Would definitely advise booking for an evening meal! Superb!

Amazing food, great owners - Edit
We love this place and its range of vegan food! The food is incredibly tasty and the owners are so lovely! The decor is hust beautiful and there's such a homely feel about the place. We've been here 2 weeks on the trot and have booked for Sunday dinner, so will update on this review with more pictures.

A Hidden Gem in Cwmavon - Edit
I'd give five stars if I could!
Read moreThe menu is packed with vegan and gluten-free options, each dish bursting with creativity and flavour, all at a very reasonable price.
From the moment we stepped in, the service was exceptional—warm, friendly, and genuinely hospitable. The atmosphere was buzzing yet relaxed, and their dog-friendly policy made us feel even more welcome. The beer garden by the river is the perfect place to unwind and take it all in.
We were lucky to visit during the final week of their current menu. For starters, we had the vegan fishcake served with garlic mayo and tomato salsa—unbelievably realistic and delicious—alongside perfectly seasoned meatless meatballs on toasted focaccia.
Our mains - The stuffed butternut squash came with creamy lentils and new potatoes, while the plant-based Tuscan chicken was a showstopper. The sauce was so divine we couldn’t resist ordering extra bread just to savour every last drop.
To finish, we enjoyed a vegan crème brûlée that was both impressive and indulgent—a flawless end to an incredible meal.
We left full, happy, and already planning our return to explore their new menu. If you're looking for phenomenal plant-based food in a welcoming setting, The Brit is absolutely worth the visit. Bonus points for the wagging tails they welcome too!
Pros: Amazing food, Friendly service, Dog friendly

Outstanding! - Edit
Beautiful pub with slate flagstones and traditional low beams.

As for the food, there are several vegan options clearly marked under a separate vegan heading (yay) and all are delicious and varied.
The staff are amazingly friendly and knowledgable and remembered us visiting a year ago as we were equally enthusiastic then too.
Dog friendly which was a dream for us
I love this place!

Excellent Place For Vegans!! - Edit
The vegan menu is delicious especially the Sunday lunches and the homemade brownies and ice cream. The Brit staff are friendly and can not do enough for you, its also dog friendly so all the family is welcome. In the winter the log fire burns in the bar, this is a great area to eat after a nice winter walk with your dog.

A nice meal - Edit
There were a decent amount of vegan options with 5 pies, mushroom risotto, lasagne, and a tart as possible mains and a few starters and sides.
Read moreI enjoyed a lovely “swedey Todd” pie (by mr nice pie) with mash and gravy. The mash was a little bland and the gravy a little watery but overall a very nice meal. My mum had the vegan lasagne with chips and loved it.
We decided not to have pudding, but there was one vegan option of brownie and ice cream (I noticed that this is a new edition since January).

Delicious - Edit
Had lovely meal at this characterful pub. The staff were very kind and friendly and had booked us a table by the radiator as I had mentioned that my mother was very elderly. I had the vegan lasagne which absolutely delicious and a vegan brownie which was also very nice. My husband also thoroughly enjoyed his vegetarian halloumi and mushroom burger and sticky toffee pudding.
Read morePros: Delicious food, Friendly staff, Lots of character
Cons: No vegan icecream to go with the brownie, Wheelchair access might be difficult.
