What a little gem of a place. Lovely staff, great atmosphere and the food was outstanding. Well done Chain House, you’ve absolutely nailed it. Can’t wait to come back again. �

Was in a party of 5 for an evening meal, I think amongst us all we had every dish on the menu and of course the forks were being offered so we all had a taste of everything, including the Vegan dish.



It did not disappoint, great flavours and quality ingredients. A personal favourite of mine the beef starter, I can't imagine ordering anything else from now on, a must try.



Staff very attentive without being intrusive, was great to have a chat with Lewis (Head Chef) afterwards, his enthusiasm for his food is infectious, I'm looking forward to the owner putting on a few pounds as frankly his appearance certainly doesn't tell the story of the food ;-) Highly recommended and extremely good value for money.

Very special food served by an amazing group of staff, trying foods I wouldn’t normally look at and I absolutely loved it. I would highly recommend it and we’re all booked back in.

This is truly an amazing place that I really don’t want to share as I want to keep it to myself! I have had breakfast, lunch and dinner (not all on the same day �) and they have all been outstanding. The food is out of this world, so tasty and different. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This is exactly what we need in Pontypridd. Will definitely be visiting on a regular basis. I am already looking forward to my next visit x

Second visit here and it certainly won't be the last. The menu has a lovely range of choice for vegans and the food is DELICIOUS. The atmosphere is wonderful and the staff are polite and helpful. I highly recommend giving it a go. You won't be disappointed.

My friends and I went to the Chain House for an evening meal. I had been there previously for breakfast but WOW the food tonight was outstanding. If we were in London this would be a little bistro cafe that you would expect to see everywhere but no we are in Ponty! Mackerel to start, lamb for mains and a cheese board for afters. I was not disappointed. I had plate envy with my friends choices. Please let this place keep going. Please support it. I just need to try lunch to get the hat tick. Beautiful food, original decor and friendly staff. Must have been good. I’ve never written a review on Facebook

Just what ponty needed. A lovely modern place to enjoy some incredible food. I took my friend from London who is a very fussy eater and very hard to please, and she absolutely loved her chicken club sandwich. The pancakes were incredible and were the perfect size. I would highly recommend it. I can’t wait to try the fine dining and cocktails menu.

Just had done dinner in this place and it ticks all the boxes. Food vibe is very similar to the Potted Pig yet at very reasonable £24 for 3 course meal it fills your belly with some well cooked food. Each course has 3 options, meat, fish or vegan and all done to a very high standard. Cocktail menu is classy. Beer, cyder and wine very good too. Bunch of Grapes has some serious competition now and now Cardiff has some catching up to do.

Gorgeous food and great service. Took my parents there to celebrate their wedding anniversary, reasonable price for great quality food, I highly recommend the place and might even try the breakfast menu when I return again. Really hope this small business is supported by the local community rather than giving money to the big chains around here.

Fresh, wholesome food with excellent vegan options. The staff were friendly and welcoming and place is well decorated. What's not to like?! I think I have found a new favourite spot.

Food was lovely. I’m such a fussy eater, I had no idea what to choose on the evening menu but can’t say I was disappointed at all!! Had food envy with every dish that came out, they all looked delicious. Can’t wait to come and try breakfast! Staff were lovely a mae un yn siarad Cymraeg! �

Fantastic, chilled atmosphere �!

The beef starter was mouthwatering(and had by a few in our group)l, followed by salmon which was both crispy and tender �- absolutely awesome!

I stole someone else's cheese and grape jam, which was outstanding! Long live #chainhouse

Fantastic place! I can't recommend it enough the Sunday roast was gorgeous (I had the beef, which was so tender it practically melted!) and it's so refreshing to know they offer vegetarian/vegan options as standard and even gluten free too if you book in advance �

The staff were super attentive and friendly as well which makes you feel right at home

A* service! Can't wait to try the breakfasts �

Excellent food and coffee. They have a great menu (although I've only been there for lunch, I will be going back to sample the dinner menu) - would recommend the cornbeef hash. Staff are very friendly and personable. Will definitely be coming back. This is what Pontypridd has needed for ages!

Evening meal, vegetarian options:

OUTSTANDING!

The butternut squash and coconut soup with lemon grass, was quite honestly, to die for! Though, a tad spicy (I enjoy spicy foods, but as it's the only vegetarian option, people who do not like spice might suffer here) However, I could not get enough of it!

The celeriac wontons were absolutely perfect! And a pomegranate salsa was a perfect blend of sweet and sour. I think puréed carrots is how I'm going to eat all my carrots from now on! (Delicious!)

And for dessert, sticky toffee pudding, the perfect amount, so sticky and fantastic! The toffee sauce was fantastic!

Then presentation of the food was elegant and classy.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and cosy and very welcoming.

And the staff are extremely kind and friendly (but not"in your face")

I highly recommend the Chain House for a classy evening meal that won't cost you a fortune!

Confession time: my 3rd visit in 10 days. Cannot praise this lovely little bistro enough. Very cosy, loved the Brighton theatre chairs, the food and drinks are divine. Not a huge choice on the menu but it’s a cosy bistro and I’d go for quality over quantity every time! Service is exceptional and nothing is too much trouble!

Can't recommend this place enough. Had a three course evening meal, which was truly excellent. The beef cromesquis for starters were a delight. Rich and flavoursome, yet contrasted by the sweet/sour of the pickled onion accompaniment. For mains, I choose the lamb dish, which was served with colcannon, a goats cheese salad, and anchovies. The meat was tender and juicy. Generally I don't like anchovies, so I wasn't sure what to expect. But to my surprise they worked perfectly with the rest of the meal. For desert I had the chocolate mousse with granola and raspberry topping. As with the preceding courses, this was faultless.



On top of the this the waiting staff were friendly and professional, and of course the chef is by all accounts a wizard. They put the food of a certain Michelin star restaurant in Penarth to shame.



I cannot wait to return for another meal!

Called in to the Chain House on the off-chance tonight. The food and service was fabulous, I've eaten in some expensive restaurants and this was easily as good or better than most of them.

Booked a table for 4 for Friday night dinner. Recommended to do so in advance as it gets busy.

Greeted by friendly, accomodating staff and sat in the cosey atmosphere. Was given the option to ask questions about the menu before ordering, to which I decided on 3 courses for a very reasonably priced £24.

Even with the low price tag, the quality of food on offer is excellent and each dishes composition is perfectly balanced to excite and entertain the different flavour sensations in your mouth. The Lamb dish was a personal highlight and is one of the best things I've eaten in a while. The Chain House is not the restaurant that Pontypridd deserves but it is definitely the one it needs. Really nice to see the place getting the positive reviews.
