Carini's - Rhondda Cynon Taf

We have eaten here on a number of occasions and usually enjoy a sit down meal in the cafe, which is always very clean, popular and welll staffed. Due to the current situation we ordered a take out. We ordered a large sausage in batter...with chips, a chip buttie with gravy and a chicken and mushroom pie with chips. The person who served us provided a prompt service with a smile and ensured that we kept to the meter distance rule and wore our masks. The food was great value for money and the portion sizes were excellent. We decided to eat our food on a bench at Pontypridd Common. In the warmer months this is a great place for a picnic or chippy dinner and there are amazing views over Pontypridd. The food tasted great and was nicely presented. We will definitely be returning to Carini's, because this is one of our favourite fish shops offering quality food at great prices.

Went to pontypridd for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the choice of shops, market and lovely fish shop we came across. The staff were warm and friendly and the fish shop offered the usual chip shop favourites. The food was cooked to...order and the portion sizes were great. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by the staff. Throughout our visit, they were very attentive and accommodating. The food was freshly cooked and the service was efficient. The restaurant was spotless and the prices were fair. This was our first time dining here and we will definitely be coming back next time we are in the area.

The fish and chips were dry and the customer service was terrible. A young girl seemed more interested in talking to a young lad than working. I will not be returning to this restaurant as it has clearly gone downhill. What was most off-putting was the lack of basic manners - no customers were greeted with please or thank you. The meal was just shocking.

I stopped in for lunch after swimming. Is there anything better than taking a dip and then enjoying freshly cooked traditional chips and mushy peas? The staff was very friendly, the portions were good but not overwhelming, and the prices were fair. It was perfect for what I was looking for!
