The Black Cock Inn, Caerphilly

lovely looking pub very inviting went for lunch today,friendly staff was seated quickly drinks order taken whilst we looked at menu

ordered starter and sunday lunch starter took over 20 mins to arrive even though place was not particularly busy ...was very nice with no complaints ..after plates where removed took over 40 mins for the the mains to arrive,looked delicious but everything was cold ..waitress offered to replace this was done within ten mins ....started to eat and found roast pots where still chilled as if out of a fridge!!
beef was so tough and over cooked could not cut it with a knife and unable to chew and swallow it ...
told the landlady who was very apologetic and plates where removed ,by then our appetites for the food and the place had some what abated..
the owner did not charge us for any food we paid for our drinks i did ask why everything was so poor and she did not have any answers just apologies

maybe it was an off day but not inspired to return

pint i had was nice though
