Caerphilly Mountain Snack Bar in Caerphilly

I needed a coffee and theirs is very good. The food is cooked before your eyes and the selection of raw food looked good, but I was not hungry.

Amazing food and well priced. Food is classic English food in the softest buns and sandwiches you’ll find around. It’s greasy but in a good way. If you don’t hear your order number they don’t call it again, so stay close.. No dine in and there’s a big queue so get in line. Decent food though so you won’t be disappointed. Tea and coffee available too but not the quality like the sandwiches. Overall worth visiting and getting a roll.

Always worth a visit for some great food. Spectacular views from Caerphilly Mountains ⛰️ friendly staff, quick service and good prices. Nit an eat un place, but tables and benches outside, some under cover. Popular with walkers, and drive ups.

What a greasy mess, never again. The staff looked like they needed a good wash. Felt ill for two days after. Yuk

Great food, great location and lots of food choices. There are a good number of picnic tables you can sit at and toilets round the back Sidolis Icecream is fab.

Best burgers and ice-cream worth the drive. Can get quite busy but worth the wait. Food stunning and prices are outstanding for the amount you get . Highly recommend

Hell of a wait for food, need more people serving

Greasy budget inedible slops. Suitable for drunk chaps only

Food quality has dropped over the years and so is the service from staff. Seems like the food is being slapped together loaded with grease and feels like I'm eating from McDonald's. Not even mad just very disappointed that the owner isn't looking after his company and yet he adds these new machines that don't work and no staff seems to know how to use them 🤦🏻 I hope my review can share some light to the owner to sort him or she out 👍🏻

It’s had something of a facelift since I was last here around 12 years ago! Nice place and nice food. Especially good after a nice walk around the mountain.

Dropped for an ice cream this afternoon, service was incredibly slow, and everytime it came to pay the server had to go and get a terminal even though there was a constant, queue, and the server was very slow, took 20 minutes to get two ice creams even though there was only two people in front of me. Feel staff need more training and help .

Always reliable, hot, tasty food and plenty of it. Parking and seating are good.

Only had ice creams because had already eaten but the food smell was lovely and looked good will definitely give it a try in future

Busy, basic take away. Good food big helpings.

Called in for a bite, was quite messy, hectic, and although a slightly busy time took a little under 15 minutes to provide an order that was incorrect and lacking slightly sadly..

Great value and tasty take away food

The worst burgers and sausage around

Service was slow, it took 15 minutes to make two breakfast rolls with only one customer physically in front of us. Customers behind us got their food quicker. There seemed to be some confusion with how to prioritise the delivery orders and the ones for customers physically waiting. Though as always, the food was good quality and I'd continue to recommend it. Especially if you can stop and eat, making use of the benches they have there as the view is lovely.

So efficient. Brilliant quick food. Good price.

A very busy cafe on top of Caerphilly mountain. Good food served faster than McDonald's! Lots of parking and easy to find. Great place for bikers and walkers. Recommended!

I hadn't been there for years, very busy but very efficient

Fast and friendly, good service 👌

British food well served. Breakfast foods with menu expanded to cover many tastes. Fresh air of mountain to sit out and enjoy. Take an umbrella should the weather change

The burger is very nice and taste. Only bad things you can just eating outside but very nice place.

Fantastic location and wow what amazing food. Highly recommend. Good location for walks and views

Food is good but expected to be there at least 30 mins plus for food

Overrated foods not the best and they can't even get your order right

What a place. Food is amazing, portions are massive, and prices still manage to be cheap despite the rising costs everywhere else. I used to come here as a child before the renovations. I loved it then, and I love it now. 5* all round.

Always have to stop in if I'm nearby. Foods always on point

Food is always spot on. Never had a bad meal from there.

I've heard about this place and have been meaning to try the food for a long time. I must admit it was a bit of a disappointment, the food is just like a burger van but with higher prices. I've had a better "rat burger" as they call them at music festivals. Also the lady with the dodgy eyebrows who takes the orders needs to chill out a bit and not scare the customers away

BEAUTIFUL SIDOLIS ICE CREAM🍦🍧 OVER 20 FLAVOURS, Made in the heart of the south Wales Villeys by Benedetto family in Ebbw Vale town, Caerphilly mountain snack bar a lovely place for all the family to eat,, beautiful food all round, all the staff very helpful and friendly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🍦🍧

Great place to go for food, especially when the sun is shining

The food combos are perfect. Bacon lovers central here!! Meat here is real quality 👌

It's the place to go for great no-nonscence food. Great portions. Great prices, Great selection. Openair seating so a bit exposed on rainy days.

the place people see northern light, but i cant see it

This was the full monty breakfast bap. Not a bad price for a hungry hiker!

Absolutely the best choice of meats from burgers to mixed grill in buns with chips. Excellent quality and value for money.👍

Only had tea to take away and sit outside to admire the views of Caerphilly Mountain

Lovely place, great food. Wish there was a seating area inside though.

We went searching for a bacon and egg butty and found ourselves here. We weren't disappointed! The food on offer all looked stunning, my bacon and egg was delicious and there are a large range of flavours of ice-cream on offer too. Considering the out of the way location I was surprised at how many people were there, a testament to the amazing food and super efficient kitchen and staff. It was also spotless, a great find!

The food is absolutely amazing and good value for money. They are regularly busy but serve a large quantity of people quite quickly with no compromise on food quality. People happily wait in line for this food. It is a shame however that there is no in door dining space given the mountain is exposed to high wind.

Stunning views and food was delicious.

Meat eater heaven, plus veggie options. Outdoor seating only. reasonably priced. great for a short stop and lunch/snack. Jacket potatoes are good value. Toilets available round the back.

What can I say about this place? I've been buying food from here since it was a van in a layby. The reason I keep coming back is the burgers are simply top notch.

Love this place & if they were able to have indoor seating It would be an amazing attraction to Caerphilly...Perfect after a lovely mountain walk..

Friendly professional service and attitude, fantastic quantities.Amazing prices. I am definitely going back there.

Popped in for a quick snack and was impressed and full.😋

Service was a bot slow because they were busy catering for just eat, however food was lovely.

i broke down on mountain road and found this place by accident. Fantastic snack bar in the middle of nowhere and extremely packed with people. Food also yummy too

Myself and my partner visted visted recently and ordered are usual we come here very often and have done for a very long time but I've watchrd this place rapidly decline over the last 2 years i given it the odd chance every 2 to 3 months but after this visit i don't think ill ever return So we arrived and ordered asking for my partners to be well done reaffirmed with server and unsured the cook to ensure its well done wait for order no issues only person there took 10 minutes but no issue I wait patiently because I understand the well done takes some time but he cooked the steak for far to little time no more than 2 minutes after he got the rest of order done I get handed the order ask again knowing there's no way its well done but giving benefit of the doubt sit in car check steak shocking rare take it back inside ask for it to be flashed and cooked throughly please as my partner is pregnant and the man's response "that's how I have it " that is well done " mind you still pink not close to medium in the slightest I choose to bite my tongue and wait patiently as I have a cool head but this guy just won't let it go making comments laughing it up with his colleague making sly jabs so after 10 minutes after enduring this awful encounter I go back to my car to give my partners her food there was no apology as she had already already ate some I'm just glad this was a good experience for your staff and they had a nice giggle to themselves right in front of me

Well, this is a place I've passed many times never realising what it is. Today, my oldest took me inside for food. WOW, I'm shocked and amazed at the same time. The selection of fast food choices is impressive. I enjoyed a mixed grill roll totally stuffed with meat beautifully cooked tender and delicious. My boy had a mega burger combo, which he devoured. It's like American fast food meets Wales. Whoever owns this place has combined the two beautifully. Quick efficient service of top quality fast food. If your ever anywhere near, I highly recommend you pop in and try something. You won't be disappointed

Great food, especially grills and ice cream. Would definitely recommend the Mountain Burger and the Minted Lamb roll. Awesome food served by friendly staff who get stuck in to get you served quickly and efficiently. Well worth a visit. Their icecream is awesome too, but unfortunately they don't serve it until April.

Bloody delicious!! Always fantastic food and the price is SUCH good value!

Good food, there was Chinese sause in the cheese burger so must not have been cleaned before cooking the burger

Hubby had Mixed Grill in a roll and chips and cup of tea he said it was the hottest cuppa he's ever had and mixed grill was huge. I had the chicken and stuffing with a pot of Gravy food was lovely cooked freshly in front of us place was really busy but the staff were quickly getting through the orders.

Great burger and nice hot salty fries

Busy. Tasty fast food. Lovely views.

About the first place I've been too where the burgers look just like the pictures!!

Lovely service terrific food. We are looking forward to going again soon.

Perfect after a walk on the mountain, lots of choice of food and drinks, seating area outside, really busy place.

Lovely place to fill up your tum before or after a walk. Open anytime of the year a bonus.

Always enjoy the food here and the service was awesome

Cold chips, hardly warmed up cheap burgers and sausages , my order was wrong chucked most of it in the bin. Burger van in B&Q car park twice as nice and about half the price.

Staff look a bit miserable. Asked for 3 white coffees and a black coffee. Got 3 black coffees and a white.

Great service ,even cut up a sausage for the dog 🐕

I didn't have food there but I had a coffee and sat on the benches around the back of the building. They're slightly under cover and have a lovely view. Staff were very kind and accommodating. There's also free toilets around the back if anyone needs them. It's surrounded by a few beautiful walks.

Visited a number of times and always had very nice food

Well lovely staff and lovely food better than McDonald's and take out food

No complaints from me great food with good service I will be back

Great place to get food, if your looking for a hangover cure- it's definitely the place to go. Or even just a meal. Always recommend this place when friends ask where to go for food!

Burgers are great value plus staff are kind and great views to Brecon and Caerphilly basin

Great locally sourced fast food cooked fresh to order.

I loved the freshly cooked food, yum yum

Was hungover one Saturday morning and headed up the mountain to the Shack for something to help me recover from the night before 🤣

Literally the best place in Caerphilly. Staff are always great. Plenty of benches to sit & eat if the weather is up to it, plenty of parking if the weather is questionable, it’s always more fun to sit in the car & tackle the burgers anyway. Toilets are always clean. The food is the best; piping hot every time & so delicious. The hash browns are top notch. Don’t know why they are so good but they are an essential on every visit. The minted lamb sub roll is probably my favourite but also shout outs for the mixed grill sub roll, the double bacon cheeseburger & the mountain monster is of course legendary

The food is very good and well worth the money.

Was absolutely mental how big the queue was, had to stand there in the rain! in the end i was as wet as porth baz swimming pool.

Epic food and epic views. Been going hear years nice to see it's developed into a alot bigger but still quick venue for food

Great food service slow and a little expensive

Really good location on top of Caerphilly mountain , Outside seating offers nice views Full breakfast roll is value for money

Go served here by an absolute pig of a boy at about 11.30 today. Got the order wrong of the customer before me, then once it was brought to attention his attitude with the customer was shocking. After the customer left he continued his ranting about her to other employees behind her back. Disgrace of a place. All meats precooked and kept in a warmer, why not cook fresh! Food way overpriced, service is disgusting and slow. So overrated. Will never return

Got the order wrong. Very disgusting food,not fresh. Why are you so popular place…

Only downside was standing in line but you can click and collect or have delivery

Generous portions and quality food. Nice outside seating area, and good walks nearby to burn the calories off 😄

Friendly staff very efficient and helpful.

Evey time I'm home I go there..

Very expensive had a cheeseburger and chips and I had a chicken BBQ roll and two drinks Dr peppers and orange, £18.89. there about , ridiculous prices for to people. Outrageous. extortionate .

Typical burger van style cuisine done well, no frills and greasy. Well worth a visit!

Excellent as ever x I met my cousins from Brighton & London there x. They were well impressed x.

Always a destination after a weekend drive. Giant portions, great value and happy teenager.

User the car park to go to Caerphilly mountain, free to park and quite a few spaces

Food was amazing hot and fresh. My new go to place

Great ice cream to watch the Tour of Britain

Nice place for outdoor eating an walks. Some food options a bit expensive.

A very good stop. Superb breakfast rolls recommend anybody to call there to look at the Vue and get food

Friendly greeting and great service. Cooked to order. Will call in again when passing

Great views....typical burger van type food.....

First visit. A varied tasty menu with stunning views. App available to order online. Very busy, but the quality of the food was fantastic.

Love this place. The food is great and the staff are friendly. Love to get the Chinese steak and sit in the car looking at the view.
