The Refreshment Rooms

The Refreshment Rooms sits at the heart of the Afan Valley in the village of Cymmer and is well known as a friendly pub and restaurant serving traditional meal options. Set in the old station building, it offers a cosy and characterful setting for visitors exploring the valley.

Inside, the atmosphere is warm and relaxed, with rustic touches and a nod to the building’s railway past. The menu features familiar pub classics, generous portions and popular favourites such as mixed grills, steak dishes, scampi and comforting desserts. It’s a welcoming stop for families, walkers and cyclists spending time in the Afan Valley
