Chives - Ceredigion

25/1/23 Popped in here for a light lunch and wasn 't disappointed. The choice is great (see pictures) and very tasty. I opted for the winter veg soup which was a very generous portion filled with numerous veg and flavoured with ginger and chilli (homemade) together with a cheese and onion toastie followed by a pot of tea (which came with hot water. Yay! The whole lot came to less than a tenner which I thought was a bargain and certainly in line with other establishments in the area. If your in the area and like the personal touch instead of the usual 'grab it and go ' that 's on offer then I urge you to visit. All the food is delicious. You won 't be disappointed. 5

We visited Chives on both days of our recent short break in Aberystwyth and were given a warm welcome by the staff. The sandwiches were excellent and the home made cake delicious. Would highly recommend.

I used to frequent this restaurant when I worked in town and always enjoyed the delicious food and polite staff. However, during my recent visit for nostalgia's sake, I experienced rude and unprofessional service. There was a mistake in my order, which I didn't mind, but the server insinuated that I was trying to get free food. I left without eating, feeling very upset. Perhaps the server was having a bad day, but a simple apology would have been appreciated. Despite the probable delicious food at Chives, I will not be returning.

Althought the food is ok i would like to point out to everyone who doesnt alreday know this, if you go for extras unless they want to pay a lot more money for each item.You will be asked if you want this and that if you say yes they will be extra charge for each item. Its a way fo trying to make you spend more.I only had a baked potato you should have seen my bill!!it ended up to be a very expensive spud! If i had known every item they were offering to put on the plate was a lot extra i certainly wouldnt have said yes to them. I just wnated to let poeple know this incase they thougth the little extras came with the meal.

The sandwiches at this restaurant are excellent and are great value for the price. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. If we lived closer, we would definitely become regular customers.
