Spent a couple of hours here this past weekend for a convoy run with a car club, the venue and location is very charming and in the middle of a utterly gorgeous part of the valley, high mountains and tree lines, lush forests and roads going through. The colliery is well preserved and rich in details and lore. The cafe itself is presentable and spacious inside with some more memorabilia on the walls to mull over as you eat. The food what I had ordered was well cooked and tasty, however the pricing was absurd and forced me to reduce my order between giving my order and being told how much the total is before paying, as I was utterly taken back by how much it was going to cost, in the end settling on feeding the children I'd brought with me with just 2 'kids' meals that were far too large for even my 8 year old who would scoff up most plates. A child's chicken nugget and chips meal was a massive plate full of food, which not only was too much to consider a child's meal but was 6quid, I ordered 2 of these which fed the 5 of us ironically, my original order come to over 34quid, when it was expected to be about 15 Overly that feeling of being cheap and not actually carrying that amount sullied the whole experience for me, which would've otherwise been a good visit.

Really enjoyed our tour. Knowledgeable, friendly guide. Had a nice lunch at the cafe afterwards too.
