The Thirsty Elephant

Enjoy brunch by day, coffee and cake in the afternoon and exciting street food, local beers and cocktails by night at The Thirsty Elephant.

It’s located in pretty Pontyclun and really is a day to night venue. Its owners once travelled Wales in a Volkswagen Campervan, selling fine coffee and cake, until the decided to lay down their roots.

The eatery has brunch served until early afternoon, coffee (and tea) and cake served until the evening and then The Thirsty Elephant really comes alive, with guest street food providers, including Indian, Mexican, Japanese and poutine fries.

Throw in local beer and lush cocktails – plus the odd sprinkling of live entertainment – and you have a must-visit venue.
