Lettuce is always brown around the edges and this should be sorted at least once every three weeks! And the second incident involved two nasty looking chicken tikka subs that gave my brother and I a nasty case of the squits. Please fix this as I can't go through another 8 pairs of pants again!

Sounds simple yet they deserve some sort of medal for this genius, takeaway carb invention! Sadly Caerphilly Mountain didn't turn out to be as mountainous as we'd hoped so we took the short drive (post Potato Stick) to Merthyr Mawr, climbed the sand dunes and took in the a-mazing views,

My partner and I attempted to go for a walk onto the mountain but within 20 minutes we were back at Mountain View buying a burger and a hot chocolate. Ok its a static burger van but it the location that makes this greasy spoon unique. Even as a child my parents used to take us up Caerphilly Mountain where our reward for a walk over the mountain was a burger and a hot chocolate. These days I don't need a reward to walk over the mountain to look at the magnificent views, but it helps. This place always seems open - its open 7 days a week and has been so since 1957!

The range of dishes available will have you licking drunken chops while you eagerly wait for your order to be prepared. The service is excellent and, considering the amount of intoxicated customers they have attracted over the years given its location, they have developed a great deal of patience for the less linguistically skilled drunk. On the other hand, The Pagoda isn't strictly post-booze up nosh, as it is a great place to provide quality food for a chilled out night in. The portions are more than generous and will likely leave plenty of left-overs to cover lunch the next day, following a brief stay in the microwave. Great service, superb food and everything you could want from a Cantonese takeaway. Unfortunately, they don't cover the dry cleaning bill for the inevitable spillage that comes with munching on the walk home.
