Ferndale Takeaways

58 Maerdy Road Maerdy, Ferndale, Glamorgan, CF43 4AE

Up at the top of the Rhondda Fach valley in Maerdy, the Grill House is a late-opening takeaway that brings together stone-baked pizzas, kebabs and grill-house favourites under one roof. The menu runs from classic and special kebabs to burgers, wraps, chicken wings, strips and nuggets, with buttery garlic bread and calzones rounding things out, so it suits everyone from a solo craving to a full family order to share.

It currently holds a 3.5/5 rating on Google, with locals returning for the generous portions and the convenience of a kitchen that keeps going late into the evening when other places have shut up shop. This is firmly a takeaway and delivery operation rather than a sit-in venue, and it has its own online ordering site for collection or drop-off. For residents of Maerdy and the neighbouring villages, it remains a handy go-to whenever the appetite for a proper grilled supper strikes.
