The Rhiw Teapot Cafe in Bridgend

The plastic table clothes are comical stapled to the tables to hide the poor quality.everything is sticky and covered in grease from an extractor above the kitchen staff not in uniforms instead wearing sports leggings, false eye lashes, false nails, and sliders. Got my order wrong on occasions. Would not recommend to anyone very unfriendly and not a pleasant experience

Great all day breakfast full of flavour using top quality products. you could taste the difference between this and other outlets in the area. came with a white coffee all for less than £10.

What an amazing breakfast. And came with good old fashioned customer service, brilliant I will be back! Bacon was the best I have had at any cafe for a long time. Thank you all, see you soon.

We had 1 faggot peas & chips ,the peas were absolutely disgusting ,we also had a large breakfast which was unfortunately not nice at all ,totally overpriced too we will definitely not be returning here for food .there was no track & trace being done here either which I thought was compulsory.

Met a friend here for a cooked breakfast which was absolutely lovely and plenty big enough. The staff were professional and the cafe was clean and resonably priced.

We love eating here, partly because they offer both Thai and British cafe food. When my wife and I visit, I will usually have something from the Thai menu whilst she has a roast dinner. The meals are generous and very good quality. They also do a range of English Breakfasts.

Second time visiting here and still as good! Fast service and food was hot and tasty! I would come back again when I’m out shopping in bridgend

Met my friend for lunch she decided to go here for a change, wasn't impressed. Asked for diet coke was not offered a glass or even a straw. Food was slapped in front of us, was not very warm and tasted very bland. would not recommend will not be going back

Several months ago after hearing about the Cafe from some friends who eat regularly at the Teapot I decided whilst in town to take a visit to this market Cafe and must say have now become a regular myself when in Bridgend, the food cleanliness and staff are fantastic a pleasurable environment to enjoy a good home cooked meal. The Cafe has a wide ranging menu and selection of meals from small, medium and large size choices. Food is always cooked fresh and served with a smile with generous portions. The Cafe also serves a good variety of traditional Thai meals cooked by proffecional Thai chef,s in its sister establishment, prices are extreamly reasonable you will not be disappointed with your choice of food, a true Bridgend Gem.

Came here for lunch on the recommendation of a family member and was not disappointed, best Thai Green Curry I have ever tasted, would highly recommend and will be back for more!

My friend & I love the Thai food here. We never have to wait too long and the food is fresh. We have also tried the English breakfasts, which are also very good. It's the friendly staff and the lovely Thai food that brings us back, again & again. It's only got 4 stars as it's not next door to me lol

we come all the way from the valleys just to have breakfast here it is delicious the service is always great and the staff are always friendly you wont wait more than five mins after your order for your food to eat.

We took a number 1X Clipper bus from the Quadrant bus station in Swansea to Bridgend yesterday and whilst visiting the local market we had lunch in the Rhiw teapot café,exellant food and, drinks good service and very clean tables etc we will call here again on our next visit to this town

Went to the Rhiw Teapot Cafe in Bridgend Market and we had a Small Breakfast (£5 ) and Medium Breakfast (£6) Looking fir £60 . Egg , Sausage , Bacon , Fried Bread & Beans , extra Mushrooms , Bacon and Sausage with Medium breakfast . There are alternative choices available . Quick service !

Just went up the the Rhiw with some colleagues for an all day breakfast and this little place was bustling! I couldn’t believe how busy it was on a Wednesday morning. The atmosphere was great. A proper little town cafe. The food was also brilliant. Cooked fresh and hot. I highly recommend this little place!

I’ve now eaten here several times. It is a small cafe with plastic table cloths that is slowly expanding into the wider market to cater for the expanding clientele. Today it was particularly busy and I was lucky to get a table.

We popped in for a quick lunch on what was still a relatively busy Friday afternoon, but got served quickly and found a table easily. Tea was served in proper mugs at a decent strength, my BBQ chicken panini had proper chunks of chicken and was not drowning in sauce and to really top it off, the crisps were paired!! No half a dozen plain crisps, but a generous serving of roast chicken crisps!! Tasted great, lovely and fresh - would definitely return!

I had virtually given up trying to find any Indian, Chinese or Thai restaurant open in Bridgend (or anywhere in S Wales) and resigned myself to going to the Caff in the Market.

Took a visit to the market and decided to have breakfast at this little cafe. Good selection of meals with small, medium and large size choice. Food was cooked well and serving was generous. They also serve Thai meals. Prices were very reasonable and worth going back again.

probably the worst breakfast i have ever had... also the place had 1 food hygeine rating and was dirty, the quality of the breakfast and price was shocking..

Was passing through and in need of something to eat. Tried the Thai green curry which was barely edible. No spice- although it says 'spicy' and absolutely swimming in oil.. very, very poor I'm afraid. Haven't tried the breakfasts and don't think I will after trying the Thai food and seeing the hygiene rating.

Delicious Phad Thai. Once a week lunch time take away treat. They have just opened a Thai takeaway stall offering a bigger range !

We have visited here a few times and have always had the warmest of welcome from staff who really care about providing excellent food and customer satisfaction.

The food was amazing but realised after eating my food that they only had a hygiene rating of 1 which is terrible. Would not have eaten there if I'd known that. Really need to sort that out and improve their hygiene rating, the rating of 1 is not acceptable.

Went as it was recommended for the Thai food. All in all once ordered although it's not the best and cleanest cafe we noticed hidden a ONE STAR HYGEINE RATING Should have asked for a refund but ate the Thai curry. All in all good good. Proper Thai but please , don't hide the rating. Sort it out. Next door had a five. Wish we had eaten there.

Not just your usual indoor market café ... although the usual café staples are there, and the all day breakfasts, bacon baps, etc are available. The difference here is the range of authentic Thai dishes, at very reasonable price. Friendly service, family run.

The advertised "hand cut Maris piper chips" turned out to be generic tasteless frozen chips. Very disappointing. For the sake of my elderly companions who were kindly paying for lunch, I didn't complain.

Came here with my Mum for lunch on the 17th October 2016. We both had Ham Parsley Sauce and mash potato with veg. Food was quick and piping hot. Lovely tasting and polite staff.

So.ething has gone wrong with this place it was empty while the cafe opposite was doing a roaring trade but i tried the breakfast and it was ok reasonably priced hot and arrived quickly

Been here a couple off times sometimes with my dad or my Fiance Food is quick and very tasty and the staff are very friendly would recommend this cafe

For a cafe the food was quick(we had a brunch) it took less than 2 minutes to arrive at the table didnt even have time to stir our tea lol but as my mrs put the last mouthfull in her mouth the plates where taken away with the 3/4 cup of tea i know it was busy but as we paid for our food and drink please let us finish it before trying to push us out so you can fill our table again a 5 minute turn over for a table is ridiculous and will not be returning

What a crying shame to see a place as iconic as this in the hands of people who clearly do not care about it. Tables grubby, windows grubby, floor grubby - everything including the staff clothing was grubby. The food was microwaved to within an inch of its life, expensive and un appetising. Never, ever again.

Called in with wife and daughter for a quick meal order 3 pork dinners when they brought the first meal it was swimming in gravy so rushed to tell them could I have a gravy boat waited for a long time then when they brought it was not enough for a small child I complained they took it away and had to wait a long time for my meal The meal is very runny mash pot carrots & peas cabbage tasteless and boiling hot from microwave after burning my mouth could not eat it all The meal came with apple tart and custard again waited a long time and very very hot and soggy UGG never again

This lovely old meeting place that has been at the corner of Bridgend market for as long as I can remember has now been taken over by new owners who serve a mixture of Thai food and run of the mill fry ups with cheap produce.

We called into the cafe for a lunchtime snack. That's what my wife and children had and their food was nice and well made. I took a punt and tried one of the Thai meals on the menu - and it was genuinely fantastic.
