We went to the restaurant where you have to book weeks in advance and eat off shovels

It is one of the most hyped restaurants in south Wales at the moment which requires serious patience in order to secure an elusive booking. Themed on an authentic Welsh coal mine is an eatery in Neath that has won legions of fans - and such is the demand that you'll be waiting weeks, if not months, to be able to visit and try it for yourself.

Fittingly called The Mine, you're bound to have found a picture of one of its epically sized dishes come up on your Facebook or Instagram timeline at some point. The food served there is a huge hit with fans of hearty-sized burgers in particular, with snapshots of towering patties and chips for days making the mouth water every time you see them.

Reviewers in their numbers have given the place a huge thumbs up, with positive comments left like: "Unreal - the presentation and portion size was brilliant" and "The quality of the food was second to none and the portions were belly busting."
