Peppers Licensed Restaurant in Rhondda Cynon Taf

Today what should have been a lovely Sunday lunch treat for mother's day was sadly very disappointing. We were served drinks within about 15 minutes but we were not asked again if we would like more drinks. Even after providing a pre order of the meals required we had quite a wait for the meals to be served. Then they came one at a time with some not being as hot as you would expect. The hard working waiting staff were rushed off their feet and constantly apologising for the lateness of the food. After finishing our food we sat over 45 minutes for our pre-ordered desserts and then gave up. We paid for our main meals and sadly left. On checking the bill once home were shocked that a child's chicken dinner for a 4yr old consisted of 1 baby potato some chicken and veg ..(most of which was left as was cabbage and swede).. we had to give potatoes off our own plates ...cost £13.99!!! Honestly too many people were booked in at the same time and staff were overwhelmed. We as a party of 7 won't be returning.

Soup of the day Pepper and sweet potatoe was delicious! Dinner was fabulous beef cooked to perfection. Staff extremely polite and excellent customer service. Very clean and tidy, the decor is warm and modern yet cosy. Lovely to dine in and the breakfasts there are amazing too! Thankyou Peppers!

Booked here as it has always been a lovely meal. When we arrived the 2 ladies on the next table explained it had exchanged hands and their meal was not good. Tasteless and cold. Omg! Our food arrived before we poured our drinks so goes to show that the good is just sitting there waiting.. I had the lamb and it was tender, the swede had hard lumps in it. Frozen Yorkshire and omg I cannot explain what the roast pots were… soggy and cold . None of us finished our meals as they were all luke warm and not tasty….and the bill was £48! The lady asked how the food was and we gave her feedback.. she said you should have told us but to have it taken back to have it pinged in the microwave 🤦‍♀️ Will never go back there….do not waste your money…

We had to send back some of the food because it’s tasted strange. We didn’t make a big deal out of it but we all tasted it and it was unpleasant. The manager chose to came at our table with it and ate it in front of us and stated it was fine. She was insistent which was embarrassing. Not sure she dealt with this in the best way. Probably won’t go back because of this.

The food here is outstanding, great and efficient delivery service and fresh food prepared, can’t recommend this place enough, will 100% be eating here again

Went for breakfast as had won a voucher for two free breakfasts from a Christmas raffle. Both thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts, and the owner/manager came over to have a chat as she recognised us from when we'd attended on Christmas day. Christmas day meal was also very good, and portions were generous. Would definitely go back this year for Christmas day.

Server was very rude which is very unusual as we have never had bad service before, the food is always exceptional

What a fantastic afternoon we had. I haven't been to Peppers for 30 years, it was as good today as back then. The food was exceptionally good and the staff were excellent too. Be back soon.

We were a group of 24 family members ranging in ages. The staff were friendly and took good care of us - nothing was too much trouble. We all enjoyed a variety of festive dinners and desserts. The food was all excellent. The meat was tenderly and plenty of it. The vegetables were cooked to perfection and the gravy was very tasty- very much a home cooked meal!! Would definitely recommend!

We’ve eaten at Peppers on several occasions now and can highly recommend this restaurant. The Sunday dinners are amazing, very good service and good value for money.

Delicious Persian dishes on the menu 😍 thoroughly enjoyed it!

We've not been in here for ages and pleasantly surprised when we popped in for a cooked breakfast and also had the 20% off. The hottest breakfast I've been served eating out. The chef got the temperature timings perfect. Everything was boiling hot, the toast was fresh out of the toaster. Great portion sizes to satisfy everyone. You can pick how many item breakfast that you would like. A perfect meal to warm up in the colder months. Pleasant staff that couldn't do enough for you and made sure that we were happy with our meal. We will be back.

Absolutely the best sunday lunch! We will be back wether it be in house or take away. Superb! Out of 10 I'd honestly give it 11! Simply stunning x

Oh my gosh, what an amazing dinner! Good portion size! The beef was perfect, the gravy is excellent quality, I could genuinely drink it! Driver found me quite easily and was kind had to go back out for my change, I would have tipped but unfortunately this week money is low. Compliments to the chef and the staff was lovely on the phone, it didn't take to long to get here I would be willing to wait for that quality, thankyou Peppers will be ordering dinner next week!

We ordered the roast dinners very disappointed the vegetables were not good very hard and undercooked potatoes the gravy was inedible the dessert was nice

-£15.50 each for Afternoon Tea . -Vegan option available . -Vegan wine available . Friendly service . Tiny issues like no spoon given with tea or fork with coleslaw and cake so had to ask for these . Takes cash and card payments . Large area . Clean toilets . Nice decor . Funny signs

Came here last minute just planning on having a coffee but ended up having a breakfast and it was delicious and 25% off all breakfasts at the moment as well so very reasonably priced. My friend had an omelette and she said it was lovely. Lovely filling hot chocolate as well

friendly staff, nice food, cosy environment. Thanks Mandana

A lovely little place from the outside, but much bigger on the inside. Good and service were perfect. Thank you

Nice place with a relaxing feel

xmas day.3 of us attended.we were told that we hadnt prebooked our meals so we would have to have whatever food was there despite paying 30 pounds each deposit each.we couldnt have starters.we could have desert but would have to pay another 30 pounds each.we declined desert.we were kept waiting for an hour.wheb food arrived we had to have beef which was very nice.however staff ignored us as if we were troublemakers.we heard the kitchen staff slagging us off.shame as id always liked peppers previously.they also did the same to an elderly couple and told them to eat their deserts and leave the table by 2pm despite plenty of room in the reataurant.terrible way to treat paying guests.we wont be returning there again

We go to this establishment every Christmas Eve. This year the experience was awful. New owners. Wish I knew this before we went. Took our food order, 4 meals. I ordered the festive roll with pigs in blanket. Three meals arrived. I asked where mine was. To be told they don’t serve turkey Christmas eve! I was left with no food! This surly should have been told to me when I ordered my food! They were not even apologetic. Awful experience and will never use this place ever again

Really good food, good service but I've taken a star off because there was very little choice of beer. Most beers on the menu weren't available. Otherwise, a great night.

Been to this restaurant many times a and always had a good food and waitress service always good as well.The problem this time was the lack of heating.We couldn't have staid there without our coats on.

Service was very slow, menu a shambles, place not that clean. Waited ages for a roll, after waiting ages for a tea. Table not clean, salt and pepper covered in stains. Poor

Cosy and welcoming, lovely coffee,great selection of cakes and pastries, will return,and upon our return we discovered a large area through to the rear,it's like a tardis!! The food being served looked amazing too,will return again!!

Fatto una abbondante colazione con una fetta di torta al cioccolato molto buona. Bevuto un caffè e speso il giusto denaro.

Bitterly disappointed in the food, waited an hour to be served pre theatre meal. Couldn't eat the kebab , totally flavourless and greasy. Serve was very poor that being said waiter was OK but new owners were rude . Really sad that they haven't kept up the goid name of Peppers

Dreadful Sunday Lunch takeaway. Roast Potatoes like Rocks. Never again.

I've frequented this restaurant on several occasions. The breakfast is consistently outstanding, and the coffee is excellent. The staff is courteous, and the owners are exceptionally friendly and approachable. The Persian cuisine I recently tried stands out as the best in Wales. The location, overall ambiance, and the availability of a great upstairs area for events contribute to its remarkable appeal.

Went here for the first time a few weeks back for a Sunday dinner here, was asked if we wanted the large dinner so me and the other half had a large and the little one a regular. Well all 3 meals looked pretty much the same size so not sure where our large was? Food was nice enough but I would have preferred mash over new potatoes, not sure if that was an option, really needed more gravy as one gravy boat between us wasn't exactly enough so had to ask for more and also had to ask for the mint sauce that was supposed to come with the lamb option. Staff were nice enough and we weren't waiting long for anything sat quickly at our table (booked in advance) order was taken quickly food at the table a few minutes later and payment was sorted quickly at the end of it all. Place was really busy mind around the lunc time mark. I'd probably go back but definitely wouldn't be paying for a large again as it definitely didn't appear any different to a normal.

Loved the place, staffs and everything. Try the Iranian foods in the menu :))))

Nice little cafe, staff are ok, friendly enough. Food is freshly cooked. Priced aren't cheap- £12 for a main meal. Pie had very little meat and the meat it did have was just fat and gristle so I wouldn't order it again. Chips are big and chunky which again isn't to my taste. Advertised as kids eat free which is great however when I went to pay I was told its only one child eats free...so paid £6.95 for a child's meal that's was 1 turkey Dino, small potion of chips and beans so definitely not a cheap and reasonable place ro eat. I'd probably try elsewhere next time.

Funeral and discussed lovely memories

Visited on 2 occasions and can say the lamb,chicken and beef used in their roast dinners are exceptional. Gave 2 stars for service only because clearing our finished plates was painfully slow. Sunday is a limited menu so a roast and a couple of other choices. Suggest go early as they ran out of roast dinner,carrots and single cream. Saw one customer leave before her dinner arrived..such was the wait. However no wait for our main just for the dessert and clearing our table. Big shout out to the chefs who work really hard

Service slow and food not up to standard today 👎

Friendly service with good choice on menu with a variety of hot and cold snacks and lovely all day breakfast. Four of us had the breakfast, toasted sandwich, jacket potato and a baguette, with tea, and all came to about £30. Will definitely go again if in Aberdare.

Best all day breakfast in Aberdare. Servers are friendly, courteous and attentive. Highly recommended for those scratching around trying to find a good place to eat.

Well today was a very disappointing visit , nothing wrong with the staff but the waiting time was over an hour , they were short staffed and rushed off their feet my order was messed up in the kitchen and I constantly heard complaints the time I was there and staff apologising. I hope this was simply a case of staff shortage and not cutting staff to save money . The new owners are nice people but it does feel like today I experienced cost cutting and I will review this in a few weeks

We have had food here and it well cooked. Staff friendly. This time we only had coffee which is excellent.

Had a lovely breakfast in peppers was well presented and quick service. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere in the restaurant will definitely come again

I ordered a small chicken roast dinner it was AMAZING it was really good presentation (for a delivery) the dinner was meat 3 veg and roast and stuffing and whole potatoes They gravy was Beautiful I will definitely recommend and order again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️from me

Was hear to meet friends. Its recently changed hands

Had 2 large takeaway Sunday roasts. They did taste lovely, however roughly £12 for a large when it’s the same size as the child’s portion is poor.

Went to this lovely restaurant earlier today with my sister and her partner. First of all I must say that the decor is absolutely beautiful, I was really taken aback by how beautiful, cosy, and classy everything looked. Staff were extremely polite and very helpful, food was absolutely delicious! It would be lovely if more restaurants could be more like Peppers. Really hoping I can come back and visit soon!

Friendly place, lush food and great service!

Good coffee, friendly and polite staff. Food ok. Dated decor adds to the charm.

Would definitely recommend this business will be visiting this premises again Cappuccino is amazing

Not as good as it used to be. Took a while to get served, prices have gone up and food was just ok.

Took granddaughter for tea after schoolxx

Relaxed vibe. Ordering felt a little awkward with one of the waitresses. Food was tasty, though took a while. Good little spot with good selection of food.

Amazing food and service. Had the Christmas menu and loved it.

I eat at Peppers most months and have never had a bad experience The staff are awesome and the food excellent

Had a girls morning and went in for coffee and toast. Staff were great and service excellent

Always a lovely place to eat out for all occasions. Speciality coffee and teas available too, delicious food and all reasonably priced.

A great place for dining in and extra special nights. Great food, fast service, friendly and efficient staff always there to help. Speciality Coffees and teas available and alcoholic beverages. Lovely decor and a comfortable space.

A nice visit, it was quite busy when we were there. My wife had homemade corned beef pie, chips, peas and gravy. I had bangers, mash, peas and gravy. The food was nice.

Friendly staff (and several of them), reasonable food and prices. More Cafe than Restaurant

One of my favourite places to go for breakfast. Service is always great with very friendly staff. Breakfast is cooked fresh and as a result there can be a bit of a wait for food during busy periods, but it’s definitely worth it. Lovely atmosphere and very reasonably priced Peppers is never overcrowded but never weirdly empty.

Wonderful meal at peppers in Aberdare Town centre. Having not been here for a few years, we were pleasantly surprised at the new menu. Delicious food with a good selection, large portions, with smaller plate options also available. We will definitely be returning again!

Highly recommended. Food is freshly prepared and very good.

Friendly service, excellent food and a very pleasant atmosphere! Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

A wonderful place for dining and for enjoying food freshly made and plenty of variety. Enjoy a breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner with your favourite people in a safe, clean and friendly environment.

Had a fantastic breakfast there will be going back

Great food great staff A++++++++

Amazing Sunday dinner, nice variety, amazing gravy, very pleased for a reasonable price

Had a beef sunday dinner delivered tis was stunning fp

Lovely Sunday lunch. Excellent service and courteous staff. Very clean

Sunday dinner gone down hill and the services with staff is really bad no service with drinks the staff walking past you you asking them where the drink are and never brought drinks you never again we be going there again really bad service in peppers

Lovely cafe, met up with friends, we time just flew as we sat and talked we weren't rushed to leave, the staff were very welcoming too

Food was very tasty. I was here at a busy time so waiting for assistants was slightly longer than normal, but you make allowances. The coffee was awesome, if a little cool, but still enjoyable.

We had a lovely lunch here. Good food and good choice. However I do miss the handcut chips they used to serve when the owners mother used to cook .

Ordered two Sunday roast beef dinners for delivery. The beef was tender and plenty of it. However, the cabbage was under cooked and the roast potatoes were burnt black! Disappointing on this occasion, as previous meals were fine.

Orderd beef dinner to be delivered its was lovely thick slices off beef real gravy definite be ordering again the driver was polite aswell

Lovely friendly staff and good food. It's clean and nice decor

My husband and I always visit Peppers when in Aberdare. Lots of choice available from meals to toasted teacake. Food is always lovely and prices are reasonable.

Very pleasant. I enjoyed my food and the service was excellent. I look forward to a return visit. Very pleased that they had oat milk for my tea.

Great service, stunning food, clean and not overly expensive

Fancying a light lunch we called into here. Not familiar with Aberdare this was a good choice. It was busy but warm. A restaurant more than a cafe feel. I ordered the three choice breakfast. The veggie sausage was more of a Glamorgan sausage but nice. The poached eggs were perfect. The staff though seemed a bit fraught. Lots of confusions with who had ordered and clear stress levels visible.

Incredible food and amazing service. Always super friendly and happy to help. Beautiful Sunday dinners. Can't reccomend enough

Good food well presented. I ordered a large plate and my Sister ordered a small plate of the same dish. We got exactly the same amount only the chicken steak was sliced through into two thin steaks instead of one thick one that my Sister was given. Would never order a large plate again it is a bit of a Rip off!!!

Cannot believe this “salad” comes with a £7.25 price tag. Tasteless miniature portion and THE driest HALF a thin scabby chicken I have ever tasted. Informed staff of the scabby portion and they were not bothered and took full payment regardless. Day light robbery. Should have gone to baguette express - half the price, triple the amount of salad, tastes and looks a million times better.

Lovely breakfast and service today. Everything spot on. Thank you.

Had Sunday lunch with 10 others, lovely food, great value for money, can't fault the service, friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Went for sunday lunch, Food was really good, tasty and plenty of it. But customer service was terrible. Menu's were thrown on the table, had to ask what was available for children, soft drinks were in a cloudy glass not filled .our meal was delivered to us we wasn't asked if we needed any sauces we asked and was given them by no reply. Paying was done by till no thought to ask if things went OK. Shame really as we enjoyed the food .

Very nice food 10 out off 10 very nice and clean good service

Lovely place great service friendly staff x

Wow. What can I say. Absolutely stunning!! Had curry and 1/2 1/2 small portion and others had lasagne and jacket potato. Absolutely gorgeous food. The chips are cooked to perfection, not sure how they do them but they are stunning. Stunning curry sauce and lots of chicken. Jacket was massive with plenty of salad and tuna Mayo. Lasagne was stunning too. Proper meals for lunch or dinner. Highly recommended

One server not very friendly, others were better. Lasagna not bad, very rich, perfect sized portion.

I always pop into peppers when I go to aberdare , there's always a friendly face to serve me with my coffee and toast ☕🧇

The cooked breakfast is to die for

Not from the area at all. Went on a lunch date today. Had a carvery. Meat was beautiful and plenty of it, everything was tasty and the staff were very friendly and helpful

Food was absolutely amazing!! The beef and lamb was exceptional, went with high expectations and they didn't disappoint at all.. front of house staff need some extra training but the food is perfect

Friendly obliging staff and good price.

Beautiful Sunday lunch! I must remember next time to ask for the horseradish, it was greatly missed! Thank you, Peppers, we have a very happy family!

Just feel it may have been an off day we were not impressed with the food and waited a long time for it to arrive which didn't help

I'll start with the good: the coffee was great. I asked for a strong black coffee and they did not disappoint; a double Americano with a double shot on the side, very nice touch. Sadly, from there it went quickly downhill. My breakfast (£7 for 8 items, not exactly cheap), was bland with a film of old cooking oil covering everything. Weirdly, the bacon tasted like a cheese panini, as if that was the last thing cooked on the griddle before my food. The sausage was possibly the cheapest, nastiest, driest sausage I've ever tasted; I had to check it wasn't a veggie sausage, and frankly I'm still not entirely sure it wasn't. The entire plate was coloured every shade of grey imaginable, even the egg lacked colour. I only managed half a plate before feeling queazy and having to leave the rest (I was absolutely starving too, and when I'm hungry I'll usually eat anything). The cheapest ingredients cooked badly; you'd expect this from a greasy spoon for a fiver with a free cuppa, certainly not a sit down restaurant with a great reputation for 7 quid and drinks not included. My partner ordered a prawn cocktail baguette which was leaking a thin, watery sauce that more resembled a soup, flooding the entire plate and making the other half of the baguette completely soggy. She had to send it back (again, not something we normally do), which the server Dylan was more than happy to do, but we couldn't help overhear the cook say "what's wrong with it?" when he brought it to her. Frankly, if she couldn't see what was wrong with it she shouldn't be in a kitchen, the soggy baguette was almost floating in the watery pink liquid left on the plate (as if the cheap frozen prawns had been defrosted in the jar-bought sauce the night before). The salad that came with it must have been days old; limp with even less colour than the breakfast (this was first thing in the morning, so the chances of the salad being fresh that day are practically zero). After we were done with our meals (clearly signalled with used napkins sat on the half-eaten food), we sat there for 30 mins without any server offering to take our plates or even ask how our food was. This was after making eye contact a good few times which was ignored. In the end we just got up, paid the £19 bill and left: not once did the staff ask if everything was good, just a 'thank you' and that's that. I really expected more, this place is often regarded the best Aberdare has to offer; which is sad, because compared to newer competitors in neighbouring valleys, this was embarrassing. I'd rather drive to Merthyr or even Rhondda for a decent weekend breakfast than eat in my own hometown. What a let down.

I have just picked up a standard Sunday Lunch. Yes we had to warm through in the microwave. However we were impressed with the amount of food,it had been freshly prepared and cooked. We struggled to eat the whole meal. We would recommend the Sunday Lunch. This was our first experience of picking up a Sunday Lunch from Peppers demo do it again. We really enjoyed Thank you x

Good food, great serviceand nice n cheap.
