Seven of us went for Sunday lunch for a birthday celebration, food was plentiful, warm and very tasty. The gravy was lovely homemade beef dripping gravy. If I had to criticise something it would be a very slight criticism the roast potatoes would finish the...

We live in Caerphilly and have recently started visiting The Traveller’s Rest again. We went in December and again last week and our experience was 5*. Food was delicious and so fresh. The turkey we had in December was probably the best I’ve ever tasted....

Few Items on menu not available. The fish was overcooked the chicken was overcooked and everything was overpriced. £19 approx for a burger with frozen French fries! We won't be returning which is a shame as staff were nice and atmosphere nice too. Just way...

We’ve returned to the Traveller’s Rest after a good few years having had a few dodgy meals there in the past (and a ceiling leaking onto out table). What a change. Lovely refurbishment and arrangement, with a bar and restaurant area both serving food. There...

Quaint old pub serving good food wth very good quick service. Warm welcome, Our dishes were ham hock pie, carrots,and mashed potatoes plus a huge portion of cod chips and peas. Both were judged excellent. Good coffee to follow. What's not to like?

Car park is a little small and today's bigger cars outsize the available spaces. A very rustic look with the thatch and a nice olde worlde feel inside. We had a booked table and were quickly seated and served drinks. The staff seemed very busy...

Fantastic Sunday lunch, stunning food, excellent service levels, brilliant atmosphere, would highly recommend.

Absolutely delicious Sunday lunch, one of the best. Fantastic friendly service and can’t wait to return.

Very enjoyable lunch today with my wife at The Travellers Rest pub on Caerphilly mountain. Delicious food, including fish and chips (gluten free, which was a bonus for me). Worth booking online as it was a busy restaurant. Would highly recommend.

My Husband and I booked for lunch today. Having read reviews saying the service was slow, we were surprised that we were served straight away, and if anything our meal came a bit too quickly. Having said that, we had roast beef dinner and roast...

I had lunch at the Travellers Rest and although the food and drinks were very nice I was disappointed to not receive the Lunch Menu advertised on their website that had Sandwiches and Hot potatoes options including a Main menu. We received a trimmed down...

Absolutely love the place, the cosy fire and the decor, it’s the best place in the area. The only downside lately is for the price of the food itself I’ve had two not fantastic meals so to speak. The first time I just brushed it...

Great meal with friends at The Travellers Rest last week. Friendly waitress and lovely food. Nice atmosphere in this cute little pub on Caerphilly mountain. Worth booking as it is a small restaurant. Would recommend to friends and family.

Amazing food quality, presentation was fantastic and the service was above and beyond. Definitely recommend trying some of the new products.

Quite disappointing, waited just over the hour for our food to be served. Two tables who came in after us were served their food before us. When I questioned this with our waiter he said it was because they only ordered two meals per table...

Pub was very very busy which was lovely to see considering it was early afternoon and the main lunchtime rush would have finished and the tea-time not yet started. There was a really nice atmosphere which made us feel comfortable from the minute we were...

The food and staff were excellent. Oliver helped me out with the Internet to pay my bill. The new decor is great and i fully recommend this pub

Disappointing. Food was fairly standard and as expected however it took over 45 mins to arrive and it wasn’t that busy. Our table was next to 2 large ‘parties’ which included quite a few kids, so it was quite noisy, and we couldn’t really chat...

First visit as we fancied a country pub meal to celebrate our anniversary. The pub is lovely overall and the food was nice although not quite worth the prices in my opinion. Our waitress was lovely and attentive. Ordered drinks straight away, asked for lemon...

We arrived for a 2 day stay for a wedding nearby, we found this place online as looked like a nice place to have dinner out before the event. Lovely tradional thatched pub/restaurant Popped in to book a table for later, and had a drink....

Excellent trio of meats Sunday lunch here today, complemented by friendly and efficient staff and lovely surroundings. After our meal we were able to sit outside in the pleasant outside seating area in the sunshine with coffees and the mini complimentary cake on the side...

Visit here often and never had a bad meal. The chicken burger is a must try! Tania and the team are very welcoming.

Service was great, waiter was very helpful and really interacted with us, also brought a bowl of water and some treats for my dog as soon as we arrived. Food was delicious, all 5 friends had a lovely afternoon.

Had a lovely birthday celebration at the Travellers Rest today. Service from Marie was excellent, food really tasty and hot, we had turkey dinner, pork belly dinner and fish and chips with fruit crumble to finish. Plenty of choice on the menu, we'll done Travellers'...

The best Sunday dinner I have ever had with a brilliant hostess Lisa The other staff were also very charming. Toilets were amazingly fresh for pub male ones.

Always excellent food and friendly service. Food cooked freshly and well presented. Wish I could go every day.

What a disappointing meal. I ordered a wrap with fries. The wrap was warm, the filling was icy cold. The fries were good. I have diabetes and had taken my insulin and had to eat. I just managed half the wrap and the fries. The...

Had a lovely lunch today for my birthday. Our server Bethan was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to go and try the chicken skewers.

Fantastic staff, really great menu that suited all my family (this is rare) and great service. Cocktails were great too!! Looking forward to going back soon x

I visited this restaurant with a group of friends, I have visited previously with my partner. Unfortunately the most recent visit left us a little disappointed. The service was incredibly slow, we had to wait a minimum of an hour between courses, and we also...

Waited 1 hour between servings. We weren’t offered drinks other than on arrival. Our plates weren’t cleared till the next course came out. Staff stood around doing very little. Food came out cold with some dishes hot but only from sitting under the hot lamp....

Lovely food, but great service as always by Liam. Will always follow Liam where he is working as he’s an absolute credit to the restaurant. Top service

Fantastic food again service was amazing. We had cocktails and 3 courses will 100% be returning keep up the good work 👏
