"Rating this under my cafe list since I separate restaurants, cafes and franchises. I gotta be honest this was pretty solid and a lucky find. It’s one of the few places I could find open on a Sunday in a town I’m not familiar with and everything was cooked perfectly I decided to go off the beaten track and order something weird and not exactly on the main menu and went with the pancakes, bacon and eggs. The only issue I had was you had to tell them you wanted the eggs and bacon and it’s not made super clear on the menu so I had to order them later and wait for them to arrive (it was definitely worth it though. Interior is colourful and pleasant enough, it’s cosy and it’s very clearly popular with the locals. But most importantly it’s comfortable and clean. It’s got your traditional cafe meals on there : breakfasts, coffee, ham and eggs and so on, But the menu was actually quite extensive beyond that with steaks, mixed grills, pork chops and even a build your own roast dinner section. It even included an actual picture of the dishes made in house rather than just using text or some generic online photos which somehow makes the whole menu more appealing. I wish I had taken a picture of the menu but there was a wait for tables and I didn’t think about it until I had left felt a bit daft going back in but it’s where I’ll be coming next time I end up in Bargoed for any reason."

"Had a day out and we were looking for a nice little pub for something to eat on our return journey home . We hit the JACKPOT with this little diamond !!! The staff were lovely and friendly . It was 39 degrees so we wasn’t wanting a full on meal just some sort of snack or picky bits …. We went for the steak and onion marmalade sub , the 1/2 bucket of chicken wings , pulled pork dirty fries and dirty onion rings …. The wait wasn’t very long at all , maybe 15-20 minutes . The food was presented beautifully and looked soooo good I was too excited and my partner and I got stuck right in unfortunately I didn’t take a photo first !!! What can I say … absolutely beautiful …. There was not one thing I could have said could have been improved !!! Everything cooked to perfection and so much taste and flavour !! Deffo hand shake to their chef !! The pub itself is also set out perfectly … they had an area where you can watch football with no music , so all you footy fans can hear the commentary …. For us music lovers there was another section where you can listion to music without having to hear the commentary !!! The music they played was also really good tunes !! Hats off to who ever planned the layout … you’ve thought about everyone !!! This pub definitely deserves more then 5 Great food friendly staff great atmosphere If we lived closer this would deffo become our new local … well done guys"
