Restaurants in Caerphilly

Castle-side and town centre — Cadw event days fill tables, not Cardiff Bay.

Caerphilly restaurants sit in the town centre under the castle walls — independents rather than a Cardiff strip. Castle-event days and weekend Cadw visits push demand; midweek lunches are quieter. This is Caerphilly CBC's table, not Cardiff's. Check FSA hygiene ratings on food.gov.uk; we do not quote a mains band until we have dated menus.
