    We werent really hungry, but felt like having something and on the way to Caerphilly castle we noticet the little alley to Court House. There was this nice wishing well and as we went in we realized the castle is just on the other side and we can enjoy some food while enjoying the great view. We had roasted tomato soop and chicken wings, coffee and my gin with coke. Food was great and its tidy and we felt welcome. Thank you!

    Visited Caerphilly on a very hot day in June so we popped into the Court House Inn for a couple of orange juice drinks with ice.... It's a lovely looking place with a great history.....The views from the beer garden at the back are amazing as it overlooks the moated Caerphilly Castle, making it a lovely garden to relax in with the Castle in the background.... We never had any food as we ate earlier but what we saw coming out looked delicious.......👍

    Really nice pub. It feels as though you are in a cosy country pub, when in fact you are just off the High Street. Good choice of food and drinks. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Recommend a visit.

    Unbelievable views of the castle. Fabulous food at a great price. Highly recommend the half roast chicken and the steak and ale pie!

    A little hidden Jem in Caerphilly town centre, (with a garden that looks over the castle ☺). Friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere, we'll visit again 👍

    Had a couple of pints with family and even as it was raining the new outdoor beer garden (quite beautiful) had covered seating. And, as always, the view of Caerphilly Castle is unmatched from any perspective in town.

    Such a beautiful pub with a beautiful view of Caerphilly Castle from the garden. I love the courtyard which seems to draw you in and know of otherworldly things like dragons, spells and magic. We enjoyed a lovely cup of frothy coffee and a delicious slice of cake before catching the train back to Cardiff. What a pleasant young lady behind the bar despite it being busy. You can’t buy attitude like that.

    Excellent food, great ambience and friendly staff at The Court House pub. I had sausage and mash - super tasty and perfectly cooked. The pub also has an awesome view of Caerphilly Castle, definitely worth a visit.

    Don’t eat here if you don’t want to wait forever or have edible enjoyable food. I booked a table for 4 people at 3pm. We had family from Birmingham down for the day. We waited 10 minutes at the bar before we were told to go around to the other side of the bar to queue. We were sat by the main door and we saw 4 other groups do the same until we told them. There simply needs to be a sign on the bar when it’s not being used. I ordered 4 Sunday lunches, the only option was beef as they were out of chicken! After 45 minutes I asked if they’d forgotten us. 10 minutes later our food came. If we weren’t ravenous we’d have sent it back for the following reasons. The beef was really chewy and had a thick layer of fat around it. The knives were barely able to cut into it, you needed steak knives. The cabbage wedge was covered with some sort of oil and we couldn’t cut through the stalk. The ‘light and fluffy’ roast potatoes were the complete opposite, pale and obviously not roasted long enough (if at all). The carrot buttons were cold and dried up. There were pea shoots but no idea why plain old peas were not given instead. Only 2 of the party had cauliflower cheese but no extra portion of veg to make up for it were on the 2 plates that didn’t have it so there was a gap in the food presented. We had Yorkshire puddings but they were very thin and shattered when you tried to cut them. Oh and on a trivial point they didn’t have mint sauce. The gravy was oily and very thin it didn’t taste of anything. I commented on how disappointed I was to my party which was overheard by a member of staff behind me and from then on all the staff stayed clear of us. No one even came to ask how our meal was. The pub was not really busy so why our food took so long I don’t know. I attach a photo showing what we left on our plates to show just how bad it was. We waited so long we had 2 rounds of drinks eat whilst waiting. We’ve eaten here before, but not Sunday lunch. We won’t eat here again.

    We ordered the meal via the app which was straight forward, however one of the staff came to us to say very matter of fact and casualy the kitchen staff were on their break and would not be back u till 6pm (it was 5.30) and said we could have a refund if we wanted. (No apology) We decided to wait. We were sitting in the beer garden, the table next to us was filled with staff some in uniform others not or possibly their friends, feet on the tables, coming and going a lot being quite loud, the food arrived at 18.10, the seafood rissoto was good, the mac and cheese was very small and a ridiculous amount of salad with it. The burger was OK nothing special. Its a wonderful setting. Overall impression was it should have been better.

    Best views you will get in a beer garden anywhere! This pub overlooks the magnificent Caerphilly castle, what more could one ask for! The staff were first class, really super lovely, and everyone loved the food. Only slight problem was the food took a while and I thought the selection of beer was a bit odd. But apart from that wee snag, Hoorah! what a pub!

    Lovely place for a lunchtime pint and spot of lunch (nothing too fancy). Great view. Very friendly staff and a good pint of Tiny Rebel on tap!

    We had a wonderful time at the Court House, a dog-friendly pub. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and they made us felt very welcomed. They even provided a dog bowl, and serve dog menu as well. The best part was the view of the castle from the pub, which was stunning.

    Setting was lovely - beers on tap were great. Food on the other hand wasn’t - we ordered two portions of soup which arrived after almost 50 minutes watered down and a tiny portion. It wasn’t worth the wait or the money and we definitely would never return for food. We would however return for the beers and the view.

    The staffs are friendly and helpful. The place is really great with the view of southern side of the castle. The steak and ale pie is really good. It was pipe hot and the beef was tender inside. Just the serving is a bit to large for me. After finishing it and drank about half pint of beer, I was already full and can't drink any more.

    Perfect location. We went on a lovely sunny day for lunch. Sat outside, with a perfect view of the castle. It was really good service and the food was beautiful. Will visit again 😊

    Hands down one of the best beer gardens in wales if not the UK. The staff are friendly and serve a good pint, what more could you want. My apologies edited to 5 stars.

    Been here twice, lovely food each time. Hands down the best beer garden I've ever been in, with a stunning view of the castle. Staff always friendly and willing to recommend dishes to try. Good options for Vegans!! Hope to pop back in soon 😁
