Stopped here to break up a long journey. Both had a jacket potato. Absolutely nothing to complain about. Service with a smile and full tummies all round.

I love both the gnoll and the gnoll cafe. It's a great place for all members of the family. The only fault of it is the parking costing too much so if you don't have the ability to wall miles then you have to pay a ridiculous cost for a parking ticket. Luckily, I can walk from where I live. But I have family members who can't. So it ends up being preferable to go somewhere where it is free to park. But for me personally, I enjoy the walking donit doesn't affect me so i have alot of enjoyment from the gnoll. Also, the outside eating area is perfect for the dog. Every time I go there I eat outside in all the weather and never get soaked, cold or even sunburned! I love the new shelter! To Neath Port Talbot Council, well done on adding the outside area. But please re think parking charges and bring back the scooters! This will enable more members of the public to enjoy it.
