Golden Valley - Caerphilly

Recently i visited the historical Morgan Jones Park in Caerphilly with my sister and nephews. This was our first visit and the children enjoyed playing on the swings, slide and climbing frame, before visiting the splash pad with water jets. At lunch we enjoyed a picnic and there was plenty of green space. After lunch the boys visited the skate park and we enjoyed a walk around the flower gardens and the boys used the outside gym. After our walk we purchased drinks from the Old Library Cafe. This was a fantastic park with tennis courts, football and cricket pitches, and a bowling green. The boys continued playing in the park until about 18:30, but before heading home the boys suggested picking up a takeaway tea (to share with my husband and brother in-law). Earlier in the day we met a local family who recommended the Chinese takeaway Golden Valley on Mill Road. We managed to find the takeaway and ordered sweet and sour chicken balls, egg fried rice, chips, vegetable spring rolls, prawn crackers, sticky lemon chicken, duck l, 'orange and beef in black bean sauce. At the takeaway we received lovely customer service and the food was cooked fresh to order. The food was still really hot when we got home. All dishes tasted scrumptious and were made with lots of fresh vegetables. Sometime in the near future we will return to both the park (hidden gem close to all amenities including the shops and castle) and Golden Valley because the food tasted fantastic and was excellent value for money.

I always order house special curry and occasionally house special chowmein which is a variety of meats and prawns in curry sauce or same with noodles. On this occasion I ordered both. It was tasty but unlike other chinese takeaways in the area, there wasn't a lot of meat and the chunks were quite small. Not the end of the world as it was tasty but would probably not order from here again. Also I live in Machen and they won't deliver there which is a shame, because we'd be willing to pay a fee. Dragon City down the road delivers to Machen for a fee and i love their house special curry.

Just popped in to try an alternative to our usual place (Angel House). It didn't come close. It was more expensive, smaller portions and not as tasty. The Hot and Sour soup was very watery. The main dishes were just average. Unlikely to be popping in again!

In my opinion the best chinese takeaway in Caerphilly. Dont think we have ever had a bad meal from here.

Our regular takeaway Chinese takeaway (Great Wall) was closed as were many others in the town so we found this one online and ordered a delivery from there. The man who took the order was very friendly and professional and delivery was on time but...... The food was disgusting. The curry sauce was a strange colour and tasted bad. I had crispy beef and it had a nasty taste to it. We all said we would never order from there again and we threw most of it away. We are not majorly fussy eaters but this place is easily one of the worst in Caerphilly.
