Table for twoSunday afternoon, I made no reservation but after a day of light shopping called up from the car park. The Gentleman at the front of house was courteous and welcoming, we were found a table and seated promptly. Our server we we came to know as Mr PAC Man ( for his jumper ) was very attentive. We remarked at one point through our meal that the staff really earn their wage, forever finding something to do, in fact to my utter horror Iv realised I had forgotten to tip, guess I’ll have to come back ... not that anyone needs to twist my arm. The food was Wonderful! I couldn’t find not one thing I didn’t like, whats more impressive is that my friend was pleasantly surprised and that’s not a easy thing to do, Iv seen this man send steak back in a steak house for being over done or bland, the fact that he was happy spoke volumes. And finally, there was a party in the section of the pub we were seated. I’d say roughly 13 people, sat across the width of the restaurant so even though they had to maintain some distance they were able to talk and be involved, to keep 13 people happy even when you cannot serve them alcohol, to keep 13 people together when you have to Adhere to social distancing rules is no easy task. That was going the extra mile. Worth a visit!

Always visiting Marston's pubs, more locally the bumble bee so thought we would give the red kite a change. Much better than the bumble bee, food was much nicer and staff couldn't do enough for you! I think I'll be swapping my local.

We have come to the red kite regularly. But haven’t eaten out since covid. So this was our first place since March. The staff are amazing and take covid 19 very seriously they provide sanitizer and all staff wear masks. The food was great value as usual and staff are extremely friendly. Couldn’t recommend more.

We had pre-booked as restaurants are very busy with the Government deal at the moment. We booked for 4.00pm. Good safety measures in place with hand sanitiser, social distancing, disposable menus. Good attentive service, even though they were busy. My Husband had chicken strips to start with a dip. I had Prawn Cocktail, both very good and substantial. We had a steak, which my Husband thought had maybe been sitting a while as it wasn't that hot, with chips peas and grilled tomato, which he enjoyed. I had Scampi, peas and chips, very plentiful, so much so I couldn't eat it all, but the meal was fine, and excellent value.

I attended the Red Kite for lunch today with my parents who have been shielding due to Covid-19. The staff were more than accomodating for us, opening up extra tables outside away from the smoking area and offering to move us to a quiet table inside when it began to rain. The food was lovely and the atmosphere was very pleasant. Staff were excellent at following social distancing, helping my parents feel relaxed in one of their first trips out since lockdown. We will definitely return. Thanks all!

As a family the Red Kite has always been our go to place when eating out and most of the time we have really enjoyed the meals and the atmosphere with friendly staff. Today however has been a very different experience, and not one I will want to repeat anytime soon! First of all I ordered a Sunday roast with no veg other than potatoes, my meal arrived with roasted parsnips on it! Correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve spent 60+ years believing parsnips were a vegetable, then my meat, plenty of beef but the problem was the thickness it was cut I’ve never ever been served beef doorstops before!The final thing that threw me over the edge was my husband asked the waitress to remove our plates, but we were told it wasn’t their policy to remove them until everyone had finished, I understand that completely, but I thought if we requested them to take our plates away then that should be done.The waitress didn’t even have the decency to ask what was wrong with our meals, but instead went to a male colleague and it was pretty obvious they were having a conversation about us!I approached the waitress on my way out and told her she hadn’t even asked if our meals were ok and that I was very disappointed I couldn’t eat my meal.Definitely will not be returning, now I’m going home to cook my husband and myself something to eat, Red Kite Caerphilly has let us down!

Called in this evening! We were shown to our seats to the right of the restaurant as we walked in and waited for drinks, and waited and waited until we had to go to the bar and place our drinks order. We both had rib eye steaks which were both way over cooked. Asked for medium rare but had well done and very tough of poor quality for the price tag of £18.95 each!!!! We never complain when we dine out because it looks as though we are looking for a discount which we are not. We’re we asked if everything was ok with our meals? No.... so just got on with it. Our drink glasses were empty and yet again we waited and waited for one of the waitresses to take an order. We again went to the bar to place another order. Unacceptable by now We both had the lemon Sicilian cheesecakes which were to die for...Delicious!!! We always tip serving staff for good service but could not on this occasion due to the lack of service and unfriendly customer service. The two girls that served the tables where we sat had long, dark hair. Bring back Gail.... She’s the best along with Tony the manager. We will return in the hope that we find the service and excellent customer service exceptional as always

My husband and I had an excellent value meal on Tuesday of 2 burgers for £10. I had the burger topped with a grilled mushroom and stilton cheese melt and my husband had the 'cowboy' burger topped with bacon and cheese. The burgers were thick and meaty and delicious and we will definitely be visiting and ordering them again.

We go to this pub for lunch on a fairly regular basis. However, on this occasion was very disappointed. Had the Buffalo Cauliflower wing Tacos. I had 7 pieces of cauliflower. No problem with the flavour, but the amount of cauliflower wings was pathetic. Had a jam roly poly with custard for afters. It was hard, no doubt overdone in the microwave. There was a huge piece of roly poly but there was a tiny jug of custard. I left most of it. I also commented on the quantity of cauliflower which was studiously ignored. Not very happy with the quality of the pudding or the quantity of the main.

I supported a young lady with complex learning difficulties to have lunch out here today. It couldn't have gone better.The table service was spot on - the staff spoke both to myself and the lady I was supporting. (You'd be surprised how many people completely ignore her!) The service was fast and attentive. Extremely polite and friendly staff. The food was delicious and really good value for money. We had ham, egg and chips and a veggie lasagne. Both really tasty, decent quality food and we'll presented. One really can't complain on cost - 241 on all main meals (including specials!) Monday - Friday. What isn't to like?! The drinks and some meals are ever so slightly overpriced to compensate for this but paying £14 for two delicious fresh main meals and two drinks with impeccable table service in a gorgeous clean and spacious restaurant is not something to be sniffed at! I will definitely be returning!

We came here as we were visiting family in the area. We ordered and to be fair the service wasn't too bad. However those of us who had coleslaw on out plate must have had it from being sat on the side for a good few days..........it was going brown and wasn't inviting to eat. The atmosphere felt very clicky and you felt a little out of place if not a local. Not sure I'd go back I'm afraid.

We go here quite regularly as a couple, as a family and with friends. Age ranges from 4 to 92 and there’s always something on the menu that everyone likes. Sunday lunches tend to sell out early so prepare to be disappointed if you don’t get there early! We have never had a bad meal there. It’s good quality pub food and buy one get one free so the price is always reasonable too.

We use this restaurant about four times a year for family get togethers. Service is good, staff very friendly and food is really good value for money. Only problem is that as a child friendly restaurant a lot of food does end up on the floor and is not always cleaned up quickly enough, however still a good venue and there is a children's play area as well to keep little ones occupied. In the better weather it is possible to sit outside. They have changed their system now so you can book tables and would recommend doing this as it does get very busy.

Our large party was accommodated straight away, & staff were very friendly & obliging. There was a slight mess under the table of food left by the previous party, however this was swept up when we asked. Out of the 9 adult main meals that we ordered, 3 were rather disappointing with food being either dry or stale - however the rest of the meals were ok. It is nice that children are welcomed and accommodated for.

We were ten ladies who attend a group in Caerphilly. You aren't able to book in advance, so when we arrived we were told there would be a wait. That wasn't a problem, and we didn't have to wait very long for a table to accommodate us all. We had various meals from steak, salmon, lasagne, chicken. My particular meal was from the specials board. I had Chicken breast with a Port and Stilton sauce, with chips and a side salad. It was absolutely delicious. All my friends thoroughly enjoyed their meals. We were very impressed with the meals, the pleasant waitresses, and the excellent value of the meals. Well done to the chef and all concerned, a really nice evening was had by all, and all meals excellent. Thank you.

Visited the red kite today had a bit of lunch with some friends. We have visited this pub on several previous occasions and had lovely meals, however today was not one of those days. Unfortunately none of us was very happy with the food. We was asked by a waitress was all was okay with our meals when we initially Been served- maybe they need to ask near the end of the meal. As we Continued with our meals it wasn’t very pleasant half was cold garlic bread was cold dry overcooked. Steak and ale pie pastry was tough to much like hard work to eat so overall a little bit disappointed today I mentioned it to the waitress she appeared a little bit out of sorts because we hadn’t mentioned it earlier Which she could’ve rectified the problem. To be honest we wouldn’t have wanted another meal, we did get 30% discount which we did not ask for and did not expect So we are grateful for the Gesture. Hopefully one day will go back!

Went today for tea after a long day at work. Welcome good and drinks order talen promptly. Shared a starter which was tasty and presented well. Mains were disappointing. Husband had plaice which was dry, overcooked and tasteless. I had chicken and chorizo burger, chorizo was actually a spiced hotdog sausage and tasted disgusting, bearing in mind chorizo is one of my fav foods normally. Both meals had a tiny child size portion of chips. On a positive note, waitress was friendly and efficient.

I ask for steak well done but not cremated..yep cremated burnt was not edible there were red onions amongst steak & cheese no taste at all on them & cheese was slimy. Would not go back even if it was 4for2. Very disappointed. Came out waste of money time(2hrs) and hungry. Red Kite need to get their act together. Would not recomend it to noone.

Went there as a family to celebrate my sons 21st birthday my mother ended up breaking her tooth on a rock hard slice of garlic and I asked for a medium rare steak which ended up blue, leaving me with a stomach upset all weekend. My meal was sent back and replaced with a well done piece of steak and £15 was taken off the final total due to my mother's tooth. This doesnt help with the outcome of a stomach upset all weekend or the amount of money it is going to cost my mother in dental fees. We will never go back there again, didnt even have the decency to ask if we wanted desserts either.

Service was nowhere near as good as usual. The beef was dried up and tough,inedible. Very disappointed. Advertised with red cabbage, but didnt get any, got parsnips instead yuch! Wont be choosing the sunday roast again. Waitress didnt come to the table to ask if our meals were ok had to return the beef via a young lady clearing the dishes. A £3 reduction on the bill, not impressed. Hope my next visit will be better.

Really lovely Marston's pub restaurant. Typical menu, with the usual Marston's twist of something different. It's a two mains fire the price of one, and therefore good value too.

This particular Marstons has a very good reputation in the area almost considered to be restaurant standard , the management very professional the service very good . Drinks quality is also at the top end , lagers crisp and refreshing , wines innoffensive and sometimes damned good yet this cheap often mid week excursion is often spoiled by the whole reason for the visit _ a n alternative to home cooking and this is where Marstons are no better than an Iceland meal . The chips are oven cooked often limp and underwhelming , any meats microwaved and small portioned , steaks of the lowest quality and often we blame the 'chef' or chief microwaver when in fact it's the product that's the problem. Once they had a great garlic cream sauce but a bean counter reduced the cream now it's just a home bargains or B and M offering , their lasagne is rubbery cheap nasty and really reminds me of meals I eat when my kids were little , times when as long as it was quick I didn't care too much what it tasted like . Only when you visit rivals like the slug and lettuce or 'greene king ' do you realise food can still be cheap and yet not nasty . Now I realise that there will be quite a few peas and chips fans that will say they that this place is better than a Marco pierre white but I beg to differ and what I find galling is that with such great staff , a good premises , a regular paying clientele you still prefer to sell them such poor quality food . As a business model it will be like poundworld, doomed to fail as soon as one of the better chains opens a branch . For the red kite I am sure it will keep serving , for Marstons they need a kick up the A###.

We had a meal here on Saturday afternoon, about 2.30. I had Scampi and Chips, which was really nicely cooked, lots of scampi and the chips were good. My Husband had a Steak and Ale pie which again was really good, also a lager and some beer. The meal was excellent and arrived quite quickly, service was good, it's always nice to be asked How was your Meal. The price of two for one is very good value. We have eaten here before and have always been very pleased, will do so again.

Massive thank you to the staff. Food was really nice. Bit of a mix up with deserts but was rectified. Special shout out to abbie for sorting my discount out for me as I'd forgotten my privilege card!

Turned up without reservation on a boiling hot day for my son's birthday and was seated within 20 minutes. The atmosphere was lovely and the staff couldn't do enough to help. Amazing value for the price and we as a family thoroughly enjoyed x x

Good menu, decent food, good service and 2 for 1 mains make it good value. Just across the car park from Travelodge so ideal for travellers.

Always 2 meals for price of 1, decent choice of food, could serve better range of proper beer - always seems to be 'conditioning' in the cellar.

Went with friends for an evening meal food came to the table pretty fast but was not that warm. Portions small, desserts were ordered one had a coffee that was brought to the table 10 minutes before the rest of the desserts arrived food not worth the money won't be going back any time soon

What has happened to the chicken? Ordered chicken and ribs couldn’t eat either. Been here lots of times never had chicken like this before. This was not freshly cooked definitely reheated and didn’t taste good. Did complain but manager not interested so this must be normal . What a shame.

Decided to come here this evening, this was a big mistake. We came into the resturaunt sat down next to the bar area and waited to be served, when the waitress came over and to our total surprise served the table next to us, they had only just arrived and were sat down for less than 1 minute, we had been sat down for nearly 10 minutes, even trying to get the waitresses attention did no good as she ignored that too. The girls that she served looked embarrassed so I know the waitress heard what I was saying, just chose to ignore us. Very poor customer service, if management ever care enough to read this post it was 6.50pm on Tuesday 18th june, this has happend twice to us now and it will not happen again, I can forgive a one of but we are not visiting a place the waiting staff pick and chose who they serve.

First visit to the Red Kite and certainly wont be the last! Easy to find and plenty of parking spaces. Clean and tidy on the outside area and immaculate inside.

I come here with my parents once a week, and we tend to go when it is quiet. The food is almost always really nice. The portions did reduce in size a bit recently, but they seemed to have improved in recent weeks. The veggie curries there in particular are so good! I wanted to highlight too the waitress Gail. She always is so friendly yet professional, and we think she is a huge asset to the place.

We went for a lunch on Sunday. Both my daughter and her husband tried the Vegan Mountain Burger. They were both disappointed, as I was on a previous occasion. It was like chewing cardboard. Overcooked and pretty tasteless, unless you consider the taste of cardboard appealing. The rest of the food was alright. Very disappointed. The cauliflower wings are fantastic as are the Cauliflower wing tacos.

Distinctly average meal.Both of us were dissapointed looked better on the menu than the plate.staff were more interested in chatting than serving.Our drinks were really expensive so if you think your getting a bargain on the meals they make their money by overpriced drinks and ordinary food

Visited again to try out the new menu. Was quite busy but still got good service, by friendly staff and didn’t have to wait too long. Food was good and not too expensive with the 2 for 1 pricing. Would go again!

This 'two for one' Marstons pub represents good value for money.The real ale was also good.The two children were also well catered for.

Went for a family meal - 8 of us. Staff were really accommodating and found us a table quickly even though it was a busy Friday night. Food was lovely and with it being 2 for 1 was really good value.
