Coopers Arms in Caerphilly

New management excellent place to visit music pool table karaoke and friendly staff

We regularly go to the coopers and the new owners are lovely (human and dogs 🤣) didnt have food as kitchen wasn't fixed yet but looking forward to trying it when it's done

Great lil place where everyone is decent and friendly. Nice pints of cider too

Had a lovely couple of pints here, a very nice and friendly pub

Had a great time the last couple of times I have been there Staff are great and friendly

Not the biggest range of drinks available, seems clean and nice enough. Friendly staff The toilet seat was broken on one of the ladies toilets

Excellent! Brilliant staff and the atmosphere is always good. Cant fault the girls behind the bar at all! Everything is clean and the drinks are reasonably priced. They are dog friendly and provide treats and water for them, which is great. Highly recommend!

Hello Cooper Arms We came to you yesterday Tuesday table for two booked D Bright my partner food ordered drinks food came looked nice but that's as far as its goes chips been in water to long full of starch not nice ham lots of it but most was Grissell could not eat much peas cold salad looked very nice other meal rice not that hot peas cold scampi and sald very nice drink great you are a bit out of our way as from Cardiff but I seen your menu no prices on line maybe don't do fresh chips use frozen if you want me to take this off can do us ask

Absolutely incredible food 😍 went for Sunday dinner today, had the lamb shank with mint gravy 😋 top quality and the vegetables were amazing, lovely helpful staff, highly recommended 😋

Lovely Sunday lunch.Very nice Staff.As they were fully booked.But let us in

Horrible customer service. Turned up as a group of 6 adults and 8 hungry kids at dinner time, to be told the chef had gone home and they weren’t serving food. Since the kids were starving and we’d already ordered drinks, we ordered a Dominos delivery. When it arrived, the staff turned very hostile and forced us to leave. I appreciate that bringing food into a pub that serves its own food is not normally allowed, but this pub wasn’t serving food so there shouldn’t have been a problem. The owners didn’t seem to comprehend this though, and preferred to drive customers away. I won’t be returning, and would not recommend this pub to anyone, certainly not families. Avoid.

Very nice place, staff very welcoming.

Fantastic pub, food is outstanding and the staff are amazing!!! Highly recommend 👌

Sunday roast was absolutely beautiful we will definitely be back for more

11 of us went to the coppers tonight for my nieces 1st birthday. Although I've been there a few times over the past 2 months and had lovely food, tonights was not good to say the least. To start with the young waiter held every hot dish he was bringing out over my 1 yr old nieces head who was sat in a highchair. It was making us so nervous that I had to tell him in the end. The burger was so dry. The lamb shank come out an it was so tiny, id seen more meat on a dogs bone. 2 of us paid the same price for steak an peppercorn sauce, 1 was tiny, the other was massive, some of the chips where so over cooked that you couldn't get a folk through them and the garlic bread was like a brick ( no one ate it) my mams lasagne was so dry an tastless she ate 2 mouthfuls and left it. I told the waiter this when he was collecting the plates and he said he would speak to the chef and get back to us as I told him we were not happy to pay for it. He didnt come back to us. I paid for my meal at the bar and told the bar lady about mams meal to which she replied "she should have said something sooner" so was expecting us to pay for the awful meal that wasn't eaten. It was only that she asked had someone come to check that our food was OK half way through ( which they hadn't) did she let us off without paying for it. Like I said earlier I've had some lovely food in the place before now so im really hoping it was a one off an just a bad day for them.

Lovely, friendly staff. Clean and roomy to move around with a walking stick. Clean toilets. Excellent food.

Spiffing Sunday lunch. They squeezed a table of two last minute. Most tables were booked so I suggest ringing early or the day before. Only down side I felt is that the carpets needs a deep clean and the table was sticky from cleaning products. Overall great. Would definitely recommend

Food was hit and miss. Staff friendly and good service. Pub could probably do with being refurbished Some of the chairs very wobbly. Pub for locals who enjoy sport on the tv and a pint

Had a lovely meal with my mother. Lovely venue, friendly staff and very tasty food and drinks. Appropriately priced. Will come again

Always a nice meal there. The corned beef pie is awesome.

Very bland dinner and frozen yorkshire puddings. Wouldn't recommend this for a fresh dinner had better up the the road.

Great pub atmosphere with a good size beer garden. Good selection of drinks

Have always had a nice meal there

Food was dreadful, fish was frozen and cost over £11, was brown and horrible. Won't be going there again

Nice pub.... food is small n expensive I thought

Looked drabbed and worn down but it was a nice drink

Lovely friendly bar staff and a good pint

I had a chicken salad absolutely stunning chicken melted in your mouth very happy

Nice local pub, foodlooks good (especially the burgers and the dirty fries)

Good value and good food. It’s pub grub done right. Been going now for over 5 years and I’ve always enjoyed my food. Great staff too

Lovely pub and lovely locals and landlords.... could do with some more entertainment and even a pool table like the old days. 😏

Had dinner here yesterday as we couldn't get in anywhere else. This place was empty when everywhere else was fully booked. I honestly didn't think much of the food at all. I wouldn't go here again. Sorry but an honest review

Nice and clean, good service, have never tried eating here only drinking. Small car park, sometimes difficult to park if they're very busy.

Food vey good expensive for a bottle of lager

Had a lovely meal There was 11 of us The reason for 3 stars was the music so load and banging music . I understand that they would cater for there locals but only 4 by the bar.

Had to send pie back to be warmed, colleacurry was totally unlike anything we've ever tried. Never again and not cheap

Lovely afternoon for my friend Helens birthday

Very friendly staff and amazing food! Still amazing the second time I visited and brought friends! American burger approved by this American!

Nice beer friendly staff,didn't try the food

We called in for food this afternoon,not booked a table but the lovely lady sorted a table out for us. Myself and my husband had an amazing cooked lunch just like homemade, and they catered for my husband whose celiac 100%. Thank you so much we will return xx

It is what it is. Enjoy it for that

Though I stayed one hour the greating from staff was excellent and food fantastic will definitely call again 😁😁😁

Dog friendly. Food is very good

Just had a couple of lovely salads. Good service too.

Great Sunday lunch and friendly staff

Sunday Lunch not great. Loads of Beef but roast potatoes and veg not the best

Lovely setting inside Parking spaces Lovely food took a while for plates to be collected but they were busy

Stunning Sunday roast! All cooked to perfection! See u all next week 100%

Don’t really have anything positive to say. The chips although homemade were so soggy with grease they were not edible. My curry arrived like warm, and without the Nan bread it says it comes with. The smothered chicken had grease under the chicken on the plate, no cheese and the bbq was a gravy not a sauce. Burger arrived wrong, was replaced but was also not of good quality. We complained to the blonde lady behind the bar but were told that there is nothing that can be done and to return on Sunday. Awful food and ended up leaving starving as I couldn’t eat it. Extremely disappointed with both the meal quality and the fact that either management were either unable or help or just unwilling to take any responsibility.

We went here after being told it was good food however we had corned beef pie with chips and gravy am gammon eggs chips the pie came out in a dish and was covered in gravy it appeared that it was mashed potato and very little corned beef and no pastry and not seasoned as for the chips they didn’t look like any of the photos we didn’t complain no point but we definitely won’t visit again

Only one beer on cask, no craft beers in bottles/cans. Closed very early at 9 on a Sunday evening.

Excellent, well priced food and drink with a warm welcoming atmosphere

Food was lovely.very friendly staff.

Friendly staff. Food was great but prices have gone up so not a bargain anymore

All meals excellent for taste and quantity, except for the peas, last visit and this visit, the peas were stone cold.

Lovely atmosphere and stunning food

What can i say? Would highly recommend The Coopers Arms. Supurb lunch today. Three very happy diners. Service was top notch, with a smile. Hats off to the chef Abi, it was amazing. Thanks guys, will be seeing you very soon 🤩

Great food, great pint and great staff! Especially Lisa. Lovely lady. 👌 highly recommended

Nice pub, but not the Best food.

Great food, great service, great price. What more could you want.

Food not the best, abx the pub was cold, and dimly lit

Lovely landlady. Only problem is that they no longer serve Bass

My mother went here for Christmas lunch the other day, having paid £17 for a three course meal. She sat down with friends to have a lovely starter, but then unfortunately the dinner came with no gravy. When she asked for gravy, she was told they had 'run out'. When approaching the bar to complain, she was told she would have to eat it without gravy. She demanded a refund, as anyone would do, having paid a significant amount of money for this dinner, and was granted the refund by the bartender but then pointed at and told she wasn't welcome there again. She told them she would not be back and left. Disgusting service and sub par quality of food. Avoid at all costs.

The food and atmosphere was excellent and staff are very friendly and helpful. Our meal was excellent value.

Family Xmas meal. Where do I start. Booking was for 12 so was expecting to be on one table but was split into 2 tables away from eachother and this meal was pre booked and paid for. Starters came, but the tastless pate was served with limp unappealing salad and half a slice of white bread which was advertised as a baguette. The rubbery prawns on the prawn cocktail were sparingly sprinkled on top of a tall glass of lettuce again poor. The soup was OK but very small portions. Main course we was informed they had run out of potatoes so some people would have mash? Again this meal was pre booked weeks ago. The beef was very very dry and even with loads of gravy was very tough, most got left, the chicken and the gammon was fine but small portioned. The veg was carrots, overcooked peas and sprouts. I will say the stuffing was lovely as was the gravy hence the 2 stars. Desert or lack of, we were informed they had run out of Xmas pudding and the chocolate fudge cake which again was pre booked. Refunds were given for desert as we didn't fancy any of the other options which is why we pre booked. It turns out the Coopers had been taking in walk ins plus had over booked another party which is why they run out. Unfortunately that's no our fault and having pre booked should have received what we ordered. In all very very poor. You won't see us next year.

Great food and great service good atmosphere

Lovely little pub, staff are lovely and the food is nice, the chips are amazing 😋

Great night, good fantastic,service and waitresses could,nt do enough Will definitely be visiting again well done..

I was here this week, the food was great, jacket potatoe with chicken highly recommended. The lady who looked after us was really friendly, she reserved our lunch time table and it was warm and cosy. Nice place.

I call in here nearly every weekday. Nice pint and friendly staff.

Nice food and drink. Good service

Not a very good selection of food

Lovely friendly place. Well kept beer. Warm welcome from staff. Brilliant.

This is a nice looking pub,very clean and staff friendly.Thats the positives out of the way. The food was awful,dried chicken,white soggy chips and salad that consisted of a mound of shredded lettuce with a couple of slices of tomato. Complete waste of money.

Lovely food and friendly service

Great food! Friendly staff! Would recommend!

Barwoman was rude to elderly parents. Food was not cooked properly, raw cabbage and roast potatoes tasted stale and rubbery

Very poor service, didn't seem to want to take any money off me

Good little pub , sticking well to the covid rules , friendly staff and well located.

Had the messy American burger, it was amazing, excellent customer service too and prices are very reasonable

Working lunch at the Coopers, great to be back. Lunch, as always, was lovely. Tried the "dirty fries" with sweet chilli chicken. Delicious!

Never have I ever had such an awful experience in a restaurant since lockdown lifted. Booked a table, sat down, totally ignored for 15 minutes, other customers after we came in and got served straight away. Asked for some menus and got such a poor attitude off the server. As we were walking out another server came over to take our order and we explained we had terrible service and attitude and such... Her reply? "Suit yourself"... Loved the pub and food, not sure if management has changed but no need.

Fab pub grub friendly and efficient waitress plenty of hand sanitizer available

Lovely beef dinner but took ages to pay the bill

Meals are fantastic well worth a visit

Just finished a very impressive takeaway Sunday lunch from the coopers. Beef and chicken were beautiful, veg was lovely and the gravy was very tasty. If you haven't tried one I would highly recommend it. Keep up the Brill work Steve, Ann and staff team

Lovely staff, lovely food, great service

Staff were lovely, couldn't help us enough. Food was amazing, will be back again soon.

Staff were awesome, it was such a busy night before yet another lockdown. Nothing was to much trouble..thank you for a great night.

The food was really good great pub

food was nice, went to curry night,ask for a tikka but seemed alot hotter,maybe a mistake in the kitchen.nice friendly staff and a lovely pint, the pub has adapted well to new restrictions

Cheap and cheerful lunch. No delays and food good.

Have been to the Coopers before and had acceptable service and decent "pub grub". Unfortunately this time I waited 15 minutes to be seated ( despite a reservation) and 55 minutes on a drinks order. Ordered a "fajita" which turned out to be a burger with some peppers in it. Burger was soggy and chips were hard. Cut the night short to prevent further disappointment.

Lush food and friendly staff,be going again soon.

Opted for the veggie balti and was served potato and onion in balti sauce and that was it. Half and half with potato and onion in balti sauce. Awful. Avoid to not to be disappointed

Visited here today for lunch and it was outstanding! Very informative info when I arrived by the waitress! Lovely and friendly and couldn’t be more helpful. I had the Messy American burger and it has to be one of the best burgers I’ve had! Smoky bacon, nacho cheese bites and double slim beef patte burger!! Served with homemade chips and slaw for £10.. it beat me I couldn’t finish it! Bloody lovely 😊
