Highly recommend Scholars Restaurant
Scholars Restaurant at Ystrad Mynach Campus exceeds all expectations. I would highly recommend. Myself and the family thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience: the friendly welcome, the polite and helpful waiters/waitresses. The three course lunch was one of the best i have ever tasted, the bread with paprika butter was wonderful, the xmas pud was another level, wow wow wow The visit of the Chefs to our table. The front of house was excellent and should be very proud of his students. Wonderful afternoon Thank you Carol Breen

First Visit!
This was our first visit. The first thing we noticed was the 5 Food Hygiene Rating. The restaurant was light and airy. The tables were laid out perfectly with small vases of fresh herbs for decoration. All the cutlery was gleaming and the glasses sparkling. This gave such a good impression even before we had looked at the menu. The maître d' welcomed us and explained he was the tutor supervising the students. The three course menu was £20. Each course was beautifully presented. We were served by very helpful and friendly 1st and 2nd year students. After our meal the 3rd year Chef came to our table to ask if everything was satisfactory. it was good to hear about his training and ambitions for his future. We were so pleased to experience this wonderful training facility and look forward to returning.

Delicious!
First visit for the new school term and year, we were not disappointed! Food was lovely, with a good choice to choose from, and executed well by the students and their mentors. (Sorry forgot to take photos of the lovely lamb and sea bass dishes as couldn't wait to get stuck in!) Cocktails were good as well. Looking forward to the Christmas sitting next - unless we can squeeze another sitting in between!

Outstanding festive meal
Just returned from another outstanding meal at The Nant. This time a Christmas menu. Food as always was delicious, the students have a real talent. Enjoyed a couple of the festive cocktails (negroni) which were lovely and quite potent🤪 they went down a treat especially when it's someone else who is the designated driver! Unfortunately our friends had to cancel due to flu, but we are all looking forward to returning for a new year celebration instead next term.

Very Enjoyable Experience.
Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience: the welcome, the dining room, the polite, friendly and helpful waiters, the three course lunch which was delightfully presented. Everyone involved helped create a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere. The "front of house" was excellent, he must be so proud of his students.

Lovely food from very talented students.
Managed to book a lunch for the last meal of this term with friends. This menu was devised by three of the students. Everything from start to finish was very tasty and as always beautifully presented. Can't wait for them to start serving again for the next student term.

So glad we went.
I’d heard of Colliery 19, but never got around to going there….until this evening, and we’re so glad we did. The food was wonderful and the staff so very attentive and totally customer focussed. It was lovely that some of the trainee chefs came to our table and asked for our opinion on the course they’d prepared. This just added to what was already a lovely experience. I think we’ll be going back, and soon.

Lovely dining experience
The food was wonderful, really tasty and very well presented. The service was great, everyone was friendly and helpful. It's such a great idea, for the college students to have experience in an actual kitchen. The open kitchen is a nice touch, being able to watch the food being prepared. Really nice setting and ambiance. We'll definitely be back!
