Frequently Asked Questions
Hours, parking, food and events — and if you can’t see your question, just ask.
What are your opening hours?
We’re open Tuesday to Sunday, 8:30am to 7:30pm — closed on Mondays. The kitchen runs every day we’re open: breakfast 9am to 1pm, then lunch 1pm to 3.30pm — and 1pm to 5pm on Friday and Saturday. The bar takes last orders at 7pm.
Where is Leicester House, and is there parking?
We’re at 14 High Street, Glynneath, SA11 5BU — on the A4109 through the centre of town, just off the A465. There’s on-street parking along High Street, and a large free car park two minutes’ walk away — opposite the building, behind the shops. Get directions on Google Maps.
Do you serve food?
Yes — the kitchen is open Tuesday to Sunday and cooks to order. Breakfast is served 9am to 1pm, then lunch runs 1pm to 3.30pm — and to 5pm on Friday and Saturday — with burgers, spice bags and sides. On the counter there’s a brownie and a guest special that changes; we don’t do pastries — see the menu.
Is Leicester House a café or a bar?
Both. By day we’re a speciality coffee shop and café; as evening comes the bar takes over — ales on tap, Welsh gins and considered wines until 7:30pm, Tuesday to Sunday, with a craft cocktail list coming soon.
Do I need to book a table?
No — you’re welcome to walk in any time. For larger groups or private hire, email hello@leicester-house.com and we’ll sort it.
Is Leicester House family friendly?
Yes. During the day we’re a welcoming café space for families — the walkways are wide enough for prams, high chairs are available, and there’s even a babyccino on the menu for our smallest regulars. Evenings have a more relaxed, adult atmosphere.
Are dogs welcome?
Yes — dogs are very welcome at Leicester House. We’re a natural stop after the waterfall walks.
Is Leicester House wheelchair and pram accessible?
Yes. Entry is step-free through the front door, past the mural, with walkways wide enough for wheelchairs and prams. There’s a large single accessible toilet, and two entrances — one at the front of the building and one at the side.
Is there Wi-Fi?
Yes — free superfast Wi-Fi throughout, on the network LeicesterHouse. The password is printed on the menu on your table, or ask at the counter.
Do you show live sport?
Yes — we have three screens with Sky Sports, showing football, rugby and the big occasions. What we’re screening is announced on @leicester.house.
Can I book Leicester House for a private event?
Yes — we welcome enquiries for parties, functions and community gatherings. See What’s On & Private Hire, or email hello@leicester-house.com and we’ll be in touch.
How do I get to you from the A465?
From the A465 Heads of the Valleys road, take the exit for Glynneath (A4109) and follow the signs into the town centre — we’re at 14 High Street, right on the main road. Full directions, including by bus and bike, are on our location page.
Are you near Waterfall Country?
Very — the famous waterfall walks at Pontneddfechan, including Sgwd yr Eira, start about five minutes from our door by car. We’re the natural stop for coffee before the walk or a drink after. See the area guide.
