Codfather & The Pearl Restaurant in Caerphilly

We have eaten here twice now and it's a really clean restaurant with really friendly and accommodating staff who can't do enough for you. The food is very tasty with a great price as well where you can watch it being cooked in front of you. I would highly recommend visiting. ♥️

Disappointed last few times here.

Absolutely disgusting waiting 2 and half hours for half of our food that wasn’t delivered. Not a huge order either. Phone manner and customer service is the the worst I have experienced

All you can eat breakfast is amazing I gotta be fair my new favourite go to place for breakfast

Best kebab around, platter two is unreal

Very clean premises, lovely food & very pleasant staff.

Fantastic Turkish restaurant. The staff and food was terrific and will go there again when in Wales . Very good price as well !

Our first visit. Both meals were delicious 😋 Cod and chips and chicken pie and chips. Very generous portions and very good service. A container and carrier bag were supplied to take some fish home for a very appreciative dog.😋. Very pleasant staff and reasonable prices for good quality food. Great opening hours. 👏

One of the best chippies in the area. Fast delivery and notes read. Food was lovely and fresh. Recommended!

The batter on the burger and sausage was terrible. Probably the worst we've ever had.

Great Breakfast Buffet - little pricey So passed and seen an Eat as much as you like breakfast buffet. So went in and sat in The Pearl. In fairness there's a great selection and the food was hot and freshly cooked. Service was fantastic as well. However I'm still trying to get my head around self service food but table service drinks. Not a criticism just an observation. If I'm getting up to get my food I might as well get my drink, of if I have to order my drink and you bring it to the table, then may as well do the same for food. How I get side tracked. The Gents serving us were great. Breakfast is basically £10 and a latte was £3. My friend had breakfast and tea which was also £3. So £26 for 2 people to have breakfast. It was lovely, but for about £5-7 cheaper I can have a similar breakfast same quality (admittedly not eat as much as you can but I am still full). My personal opinion as the food was lovely but the cafe was empty. Just a little on expensive side for a cafe in blackwood for breakfast, do a full breakfast and drink for about £7.50 - £8 similar to everywhere else. However most likely be back when I need a full feed to last 2 days.

Love the food at the Cod Father. Delivered earlier than expected too which was great.

Fantastic food and fantastic service

Very disappointed, fish was very dry and overcooked 😐😑

Food was great as always with good delivery

Order was 2 hours late. Phoned the shop numerous times but no answer.

Unlimited cooked breakfast apparently but barely any options. Mentioned it to the staff and they said they'd inform us but did not restock the food. disappointed

The Pearl is Blackwood's best kept secret. We always have a great meal. The staff are attentive, friendly and helpful. The food is absolutely excellent 10/10, very keenly priced and worth every penny. The lamb shish is out of this world. I recommend you pay them a visit and have a meal there, you will not regret it.

Just bought 2 cod bites n chips, chips were lovely, cod bite were terrible taste and awful texture, seemed they were warmed up from yesterday, wont be going here at miday on a monday ever again.🤮😡😡

the food was delicious and so appetising!

Food was hot and fresh. We had one meal delivered with the wrong sauce and a missing drink but a simple call and we had a new meal delivered, drink delivered and a bottle of pop as an apology. Great service and much appreciated.

Delicious!! Excellent service, clean, great atmosphere and the food was stunning! Thank you

Over 2 hours 10 minutes for delivery and sent wrong bottle of pop

Food was dry and and horrible very disappointed as it has always been nice from here

gorgeous food as per usual! the lamb was so lovely and tender, the best it's ever been (kudos to whoever cooked the lamb! so underrated for their shish kebabs, absolutely gorgeous hummus, chilli sauce, meat always lovely and good quality, me and my partner have ordered a few times now because they always deliver! highly recommend trying their kebabs, they are so very tasty and also the salad is high quality! absolutely lovely, thank you to your chefs

Not at all happy with our food tonight as scampi wasn't edible as they were burnt. Extremely disappointed

Very good, food excellent I had Cod n Chips it was fairly quiet when I visited service was quick. Would go again.

Lovely welcome, service, food (big meals) in a pleasant atmosphere.

Placed an order at 1-30 for delivery told 2-55 for our order turned up 4-10 totally unacceptable. Was a given a bottle of Pepsi as compensations I would of cancelled and asked for a refund. Food on the cold side. Wouldn't recommend this chippy to anyone. Funny how they never comment on a bad review!!

lovely food, fantastic deal, will order again, thank you xx

Great place, good food service wonderful

Good so amazing and delicious 😋 Fill us up really good. Amazing food there. Will go there again soon.

It was actually 25 mins but it was the busiest time of the day 4_30 with traffic so we did expect it food was amazing well worth the wait we have tried a few around our area and this place is the best we have had in ages definitely will be our regular from now on

Brilliant food all fresh, really enjoyed

We ordered here at 12.15 midday. At 13.25 we rang the shop to say that we hadn't received our delivery to be told it had just left the shop. After ringing back again at 13.45 we received it 5 mins later. Over an hour and a half.....

my new default takeaway. really great experience from ordering to consuming a hot and tasty Haddock ( huge fish, not including the nice tasting crispy batter) and freshly cooked chips ( no hard tiny chip ends either ). Cod Father always provides fantastic food, in my humble opinion.

Ordered quite a large order and surprised to see it arrive early. But the food was outstanding. Very good quality and tasted delicious. Proper grilled chicken skewers. The lamb chops were amazing. Everything beautifully presented. You have to try it!

Food turned up late and missing a can of pop

Soon as you walk in the diner has such a calming atmosphere the service is amazing all employees are so polite and have a massive smile 😃 😊 the food was excellently presented and it looked as good as it tasted I didnt take any pics of the dinner as it was so good I just dug straight in i did manage to remember to take a photo of the desert which is fluffy and tastes amazing !!

Really polite staff. The food was cooked fresh. we loved every bite. Excellent service and definitely recommend to everyone. best food and service i have ever seen.

always 10/10 food every-time me and my partner come!

Food piping hot fantastic! Great portion sizes cannot fault it. Only one gripe the chips. These chips look like they have been standing around for so long and just reheated. Not fresh at all . If this could be rectified and a better quality of fresh chips it would be top knotch chip shop.

A gem on Blackwood High Street. The Pearl is a worthy place for a substantial and very tasty meal. The meals we had were excellent value (two chicken shish and two lamb kofte) Both came with starters. We had all the cold option available; humous, tzatzike and mixed salad.so fresh and tasty. Salad was cut to order, not stored in the fridge and dished out. Lashings of olive oil and generous amount of bread. Extra portion at no charge. Main courses just kept being added yo. Came under a dome over the plate, a classy touch. Two kebabs sat on a tortilla style wrap with grilled chillies and a ball of rice. Chips were plentiful but a bit soggy. Then came a side salad platter with pickled red cabbage, cucumber, shredded carrot, tomatoe, onion salad. A generous side of homemade coleslaw also appeared. Service was very prompt and courteous, except removing stuff so that we could enjoy coffee (which was very good). Spotlessly clean with the staff appearing similarly. All told, a gem to be discovered

It’s our first time ordering from Cod Father, my husband collected the food. When we got home we realised we were missing a bag of chips. I called the shop and they were very apologetic, they said they would deliver the chips in the next 25 mins. The driver came and delivered the missing chips, also extra sauces and a bottle of pop. The food was lovely and fresh and the customer service was fantastic. Will definitely order again and would highly recommend.

food was cold, had to reheat most of it in the airfryer

There was very little taste to the food and also my notes were not adhered too. I asked for the salad to be put separately but it wasn’t, resulting in warm salad

the food was stone cold and I have requested a refund and still not heard from just eat food hub much better they deal with it quicker than them and full refund not part refund like just eat disappointed

Food was ok but the jacket potato cheese n beans when put in a large tray and turned on its side with salad just became a large inedible mess

Great food & even better service. Was told about how good the place is by a friend & thought we would try it out & they did not disappoint 😉. Only problem (other than my kids playing me up 😆) was we had stuffed too many sweets in the Cinema before going in The Pearl for food & we all struggled & failed to finish 😞🤣🤣 Will definitely pay The Pearl another visit 👌😊

Not the standard chippy. Has its own sit down restaurant with an alcohol licence Can't fault anything here. Meal deals offered and very reasonable. Highly recommended

Really great restaurant! Lovely food and presentation and excellent customer service, very friendly and quick☺️ First time here and definitely won't be the last!!

Wow! Me and my partner are so impressed! We made an order tonight and had the mixed kebab for one alongside some other dishes (hummus), garlic sauce and chilli sauce. This is hands down the best kebab we have had in the area and in many other areas as well! The meat was actually lovely and moist, with a smoky charcoal flavour, the lamb shish was tender! Most kebabs always overcook the lamb but the lamb and ribs from here were lovely and moist. The tzaziki was full of cucumber and had a lovely fresh flavour, hummus lovely and smooth! Also good variety of salad. Generous portions and a great attitude from the staff, we didn't realize they closed at 9pm and arrived five mins late to pick up our order and they stayed open for us despite our lateness. Very impressed and this will be our new go to! Thank you very much 😊

when i bit in to my sausage in batter it was pink in the middle

HAD a few scrups more than chips

Great food - Lamb & Chicken Shish Kebabs absolutely delicious - Great service and friendly atmosphere - Will definitely return - Daughters Chips & Fish cake 👍 ….

Just ordered Large Cod & Chips. Tasty but was very measly Portions.... Disappointed :( After paying £16 with drinks I expected to be full. Will go elsewhere next time.

Forgot the drink I had payed for which is very unprofessional and upon calling the store I was hung up on will not be ordering again and I expect a refund

Absolutely beautifully cooked food, top quality & excellent value. Will be coming here again!

Breakfasts are 10/10 and so are the paninis. Always on time and always hot on delivery. Highly recommended :-)

Called after they were an hour late, and two hours later I initially placed the order to be tolled my jacket potato was still cooking, it was delivered 20 mins later cold. Woman on the phone was great about it just a mix of bad drivers and chefs.

Grate place to sit in and eat very Reasonable price.

my fish had no taste and was dry as a board

Meat is very tasty cooked on coals. Went for breakfast several times. Portions are quite large. Friendly staff

We went in for Cod, but ended up with a breakfast and everything was cooked perfectly and you didn't have to pay until you were finished which is unusual in this day and age.

Being 100 percent honest. Absolutely amazing. Start to finish. If you haven’t had the sharing platter, just do it! Number one. Stunning. Thanks again

This is our second visit here at this restaurant. First time we had fish and chips which was fab. On this visit we had something from the grill menu. Absolutely marvellous. This restaurant is also handy after visiting the local Maxim cinema up the road.

Amazing fresh hot food , best around , will not be beaten ! Fabulous

food lovely as always, order regular. Not to sure as why the delivery girl knocked the door, left the food on the side window and run back to her car all in the space of less than a minute which it took me to answer. Lucky we seen it on there as it's not visible when you open the door.

Really nice place food is amazing and people are amazing in here

Excellent fish & chips in Blackwood - we will go nowhere else! The pearl is a nice addition to the takeaway space, with table service so you can enjoy your food indoors. Excellent selection of different dishes to try and all served hot and promptly.

very chip give meal no refuse fish fish fish

Sausages where full of gristle

Great service and piping hot food.

The fish was inedible I ordered cod it wasn’t cod the batter was paper thin very disappointed I order from here regularly it’s put me off now

Im a picky eater and I only eat chips but they were lovely I've been a regular for 3 years now and the atmosphere has always been great here

Really tasty food, great service, no matter if you're eating in or taking away.

I received an email stating my order was ready for delivery at 8.20pm, but shockingly did not arrive until 9.20pm! My food had been sat there for an hour before I received it. The food was completely inedible, cold, chips undercooked and hard and the sauce had a jelly like film over the top. Most disgusting food I’ve attempted to eat, went straight in the bin!

some of the food came and it was cold

The haddock and chips were really excellent. piping hot too. I really do not mind the order being early. Its not a problem at all, in fact I like it! The drivers have always been very courteous and pleasant. I have ordered from here several times and I have never had a cold or luke warm or unbeatable order. Big portions too! A very full and happy customer 😊

Excellent service from the girls every time, the food is always fresh and it’s always a pleasant experience. I come here a few times a week, I’m always very welcomed by the great staff and they always throw in a treat for my dog highly recommended #BestAbout

Fab takeaway. Really lovely chips

2 hours we waited for food and what a mess

Forgot my gravy but food was amazing just disappointed completed order not there

Order was wrong, asked for curry received gravy

Food was great, as was the service.

Really nice restaurant and chippy. The staff are really friendly and helpful too. Plus the food is absolutely fab.

Nice decorations , seating area that looked clean and the girl that served us was very nice. That's about all I can say about this place that is positive. We called in for a coffee and some lunch. Sat down and before we even had time to look at the menu properly, the young girl was there asking what we'd like to drink. Are you eating too? Then stood looking at us so we just ordered what we first saw pie and chips twice. The coffee arrived, warm not hot and before we could even take a proper sip the meals arrived. We'd been in the cafe approximately 5 mins at most by the time our food arrived. Lovely flavour to the pie filling, but they were very dry. The chips were very thick and very dry. They were really hard to swallow. Could have done with being a little thinner and cooked a little longer. Then I went to pay and nearly fell on the floor when she said £19.80! The pies were £3.50 and saw no prices for anything else. I just assumed the pies came with chips but no! You pay per item. Never seen such a thing before in a cafe and will never see it again here because if I'm going to pay Waitrose prices in future, I will go to Waitrose! Ohhh and if you need a highchair, they are stored in the toilet area!

Ordered large cod and chips The cod must have been run over it was that flat batter was hard Chips were hardly cooked Won’t be returning.

2 hours from order to delivery food cold on arrival terrible

I ordered 0.5l of Dr Pepper and was given a can

Food was dried out and horrible and containers was all squished.

The food is good and reasonable priced

First time ordering,defo ordering again,chips,fish,curry and mushy peas where amazing 10 out of 10

Food finally arrived after a massive delay. Packaged on its side so all bean sauce had poured out over everything completely saturated the fish cakes which my child couldn’t eat. Chips were also undercooked. Overall, very disappointing. £27 worth of sludge

Food was very good, u will definitely go back there.

I had a piece of cod. Very over priced I wouldn't be returning as I found the staff miserable and rude

Food arrived pipeing hot,and cooked perfectly. 👍

Delivery was a little late and food needed reheating but really tasty

Sausage in batter was like a piece of wood all dry and looked like it been cooked the day before and reheated same with the fish very dry like it had been cooked hours before complained to the shop and they said we could have a free fish next time we ordered only to then be lied to over the phone that they had no received any complaints from my address or my name next time we ordered .. disrespectful and disgusting

The patties were soggy the filling very bland the curry and gravy were like lumps of fat had to reheat before we could use and then they were tasteless only thing good was the chips
