The best restaurants in Abercarn Caerphilly South Wales

Well where do I start? I pulled up Outside “The Fork and Tune”, my first impression was this is an old Victorian pub in what looks like an old mining village but as I would soon find out it is so much more! I was welcomed by the Lovely Anja, who promptly showed us to our rooms (rooms being a understatement). Our rooms turned out to be what can only be described as a little apartment that would put most major city boutique hotels to shame. The decor was incredible with an eye for detail that is just staggering. The shower rooms are class and tasteful while being completely practical. We had a small kitchen area that had everything you could need for a stay with every utensil available. Now onto the Bed ….. only issue with the bed I can strain to think of, is its just to hard to want to get out of in the morning! No expense has been spared on that mattress. The whole venue is remarkable, from the friendly, welcoming owners, staff & clientele to the incredible venue its self. The outside area gives you views of the Welsh mountains and the bar has a quirky appearance that just keeps giving. If I had to describe The Fork & Tune in one sentence I would say “ Its like someone has picked up the legendary bars of Camden in the 90s (bars that inspired artist like Amy Winehouse, Blur and the legendary dance scene) and dropped one right in the middle of the Welsh countryside. I highly recommend this magical place. If you not only want somewhere to lay your head but also an experience that could just be the surprising highlight of your trip, then check this place out!

The Thai curry I had here was amazing. It tasted amazing and was filled with health all at the same time. Service with a smile as always!

This place does nice fresh dishes, I only wish they delivered.

I was waiting for nearly a hour and the food wasn't even warm

This is our second visit to this little cafe. The first time we were returning from our trip to The Sofa Sofa showrooms further up the valley and were looking for somewhere to eat lunch. It was a Thursday - Roast day! It was such good food, excellent value and very friendly that we decided to return. This time we chose from the menu, which is fairly basic but with lots of choice. We both had gammon, egg and chips. Huge portions, beautifully cooked, and as before, friendly service. It is worth searching out if you are in the area.

Food looked great till i started eating it and there is an awful after taste of soap and not happy spent over pound 50 and received nothing

What a lovely welcoming place. Came for a day date and this place was recommended. The owner was so lovely and accommodating and we had a lovely lunch. It was recommended the home made steak and ale pie so we had one of those and a home made beef cheese burger. We also had a starter of pate and toast and whitebait and it was lovely for me the pie and the burger were the stars of the show and they shined!! You can tell it was all home made and tasted so good and comforting. We will definitely visit again and I’ve continued to recommend since our visit.

This was not our first visit,unfortunatly we were not impressed this time,I could not fault food at all. We ordered the beef and requested horseradish sauce, they had run out!! we then ordered coffee which was only instant coffee, the coffee machine was out of order,we were,nt informed of this until it arrived, and was presented with 1/4 of a tea spoon of suger,and was told thats all they had,after complaining that we could not drink it like that some was found. We found the pub very cold to the point of being uncomfortable. Very disappointing.

Just had an amazing takeaway for my daughters 15th birthday. Clean plates.all round Delivery was on time, food was hot and very tasty we will definitely be back Thank you.
