Reviews
Walking into Fives cafe I was curious, how would a greasy spoon in Abercynon compare to the finest greasy spoons?
Upon entering the cafe I was put at ease, a portly builder was tucking into his breakfast and I was greeted by a fine woman who allowed me to sit anywhere. I sat in a private corner by a broken object (what this was heck knows) to observe my surroundings
Immediately I looked upon the fruity tablecloth - plastic (perfect), all clean but with a certain grippy (not sticky big difference) texture. The walls adorned in memorabilia and big checks for fundraisers - who knew that a greasy spoon would be so charitable?
And charitable they were! When the lady provided me the menu I could not believe the low prices! Never in all my life have I seen such value!
The older gentleman who took my order was a lovely man full of jokes and chatty spirit.
Now for the main course of the review - the food! It was a sight to behold - school dinner style sausages, a nice round plate (no stupid square plates), mountains of toast and bread (not either / or as some places have), beans, bacon and black pudding. The black pudding was a slight down however overall a mountain of delicious food. A great venue at reasonable prices consisting at the below for myself and my co-eater:
~ 2 big breakfasts (2 sausages, 2 bacon, 2 eggs, mushrooms, beans / tomatoes, 2 full slices of toast, 2 full slices of bread (almost a loaf between us) and a tea / coffee
~ complimentary sauces
~ extra slice of fried bread
~ 1 can of diet coke
~ £10.75. Banging
To conclude the review give the following:
Price - 5* amazing!
Quality - 4* - slightly let down with the black pudding but overall top notch
Value for money - 5* - amazing value
Environment - 4.5* not a classic greasy spoon in all aspects but had some charming items within and plastic tablecloths are always an additional 0.5*
Overall 5*
Makes you feel welcome, helpful and happy, foods great I enjoy it there
Absolutely vile food, undercooked sausages, everything deep fried on the breakfast and swimming in fat
I won't be going there again as I've been ill all weekend and a day off work due to sickness
Very nice food good value great staff
Great customer service and nice retro look
