Restaurants in Hirwaun

Village tables — A465 sitting, not Aberdare’s market.

Hirwaun restaurants sit toward the village and the Heads of the Valleys — independents at the head of the Cynon, not Aberdare's market and not a harbour. Check FSA hygiene ratings on food.gov.uk; we do not quote a mains band until we have dated menus.

What to know

Where to eat

Hirwaun has a small selection of local pubs and takeaways on the main street. The Dinas Rock Inn (Tower Colliery road) serves food near the zip wire attraction. For a full restaurant meal, Aberdare (6 miles) is the practical choice — the town has curry houses, Italian bistros and chain options. The Beacons Restaurant at the Nant Ddu Lodge Hotel near Cwm Taf (12 miles) is a popular Brecon Beacons dining destination if visiting from the Hirwaun side.
