A very nice improvement on what was once there. Bigger, more tables and chairs, a larger menu of food and drink. You have to order on screens, which I know some people hate, but it's fairly easy to use. You can use your clubcard to collect points and pay via card or cash. Prices for food are fair but a cold canned drink was expensive - and it wasn't what I ordered because it was out of stock. There wasn't a particularly long wait for the food to be served. Drinks (can of Sprite and tea) were brought out first. The was lovely - a chicken burger with seasoned chips, lettuce, with mayo and BBQ sauce. However, I was only given the on-screen option to remove the sauces (both), whereas I would have removed one and kept the other. Perhaps there need to be a bit more clarity in what you want and don't want. Extra mayo, ketchup, brown sauce, vinegar, and salt sachets are available nearby. Overall, very good and I would eat there again.

Visited the Tesco cafe in maesteg this morning and had a lovely experience. The cafe is spacious (perfect for people like myself who have multiple children in buggy’s), nice and bright & very friendly. There was something on the menu for everyone. The pricing was reasonably and came out well presented and very tasty. Unfortunately I didn’t get a pic of our food but managed one of our hot drinks. The little ones (ages 1& 3) had their own baby-chino’s which they was very excited about. Extremely happy with todays service and will be returning.
