Cherry Orchard in The Vale of Glamorgan

Always clean and food is always served warm and fast! The service is so so exceptional here, always made to feel welcome here!

Good family pub with great staff

Very friendly pub food is excellent staff are very welcoming

Kim gave us a warm Welcome, Service was excellent thought out , food was excellent and the service from all if the staff we will turn again

Always been a favourite local of mine. Great staff and great food

First tiime in this little gem, tucked out the way,, foot ball was on, so added bonus ,food excellent , waited a while but busy

Drinks arrived promptly but food took almost from 45 mins from point of ordering. When food arrived it looked unappetising and most of it was cold - it seemed to have been left under a heat lamp.

Have had a very enjoyable evening at the Cherry Orchard made more pleasurable by the bar staff Madison and Erin polite chatty nothing was too much trouble a credit to the Company.

Attentive staff and a great atmosphere while watching the rugby. Was great too!

Went in for england wales. Staff were amazing nothing to much. Very good experience will return

Had a lovely welcoming , very attentive service . Made us feel comfortable . Will be back again soon

Visited recently, food was great and tasty Lovely service from the staff :) The place is beautiful and very well organised. Definitely visit again :)

Nice atmosphere warm and cozy made to feel welcome and good value for money

Really excited to see how the place looks after the refurb next month

Absolutely amazing! The service was top-notch, and the wide range of products exceeded my expectations. I’m so happy with my experience and would highly recommend it to others. Definitely deserving of 5 stars!

Staff were good, place is clean. Food was what you expect. Service was a bit slow but think they were a bit short staffed.

A decent place to eat, but my order first attempt left a lot to be desired, but corrected swiftly

Lovely people and venue. Good menu and choice and prices reasonable too

We came for a family celebration on the 14th February our parents 35th anniversary Food was outstanding!!! We were given a private little corner which was lovely and gave us all an opportunity to mingle with family as we all sat together. Staff fully accommodated us even with a fussy 4 year old who kept changing his mind nothing was too much for the girls who served us. Prices were amazing!! Burgers and stakes were the bomb! And would definitely recommend! Thank u all for a brilliant day

The chicken and bacon house salad was lovely!

All the bar staff super friendly, quick at serving & efficient, the place looked clean & tidy! managed to get a great table to watch the rugby 🏉👍🏼

I’ve been here many times in the past and had a nice meal, but my partner arranged a meal here for my 40th birthday last night and the only word I can use to describe it is shambles. It was a large party booking for 27 people, he has been emailing back and forth for the last few weeks and emailed all preorders. When we arrived we had been put in the area right infront of the TV. We were constantly shouted at because we’d been sat in the most ridiculous place for a party and were blocking people’s view of the TV showing the rugby, there were 2 other parties who were sat in the dining area which is where we would’ve expected to be, not in the bar. If you couldn’t accommodate because of the other bookings you should have just said that from the start. We went up to the bar to let them know one person wasn’t coming so not to bring out their food only to be told we don’t have your preorders. We confirmed they were sent and we’ve had emails back, just met with no we don’t have them, no apology or explanation. Told to order food at the bar. The booking was 5-7 and at 7.35pm some people still hadn’t had their food. Some left and didn’t eat at all. Completely ruined what should have been a lovely night. Will never go there again

Awful experience, ruined what should have been a special meal. Do not book an event here they do not have capacity to deal with parties or just don’t know how to say no when they don’t have the staff because they are greedy. They forgot about us a table of 30+, didn’t have tables ready, no recollection of pre orders, Service was shocking, staff were rude, unapologetic and just all around appalling. Waiting nearly 3 hours for a meal is un acceptable and won’t be back

Very nice large indoor area. Clean and tidy. Service was quick. Polite staff. Food good

Booked for a gender reveal. Booked for 25-30 then rang to increase numbers. Our space was awful as the message to increase wasn't passed on to the team. Not enough staff. Ladies toilets out of order. A really poor experience a lot of the party left to go elsewhere for food as there wasn't enough space to sit let alone eat

This place is poor , poor food , Christmas was only salvaged by the fact we had a get together ( unfortunately ) it happened here . Tables put together to house 12 of us , space for about 10 if lucky , tables all uneven so rocking plates , food sent out tepid missing items , Manager had on good authority from his kitchen ALL meals had been sent out complete ! only thing complete about that experience was it was complete sh*t ! AVOID , locals to the town and to be honest drank here for many a year when I was younger and it isn't a bad PUB *but for food I'd give it maybe a 0.5 out of 10 ( The .5 ) was only issued because the waitress did her best ( she and the bar staff were good ) . *The manager was so dismissive , delayed visiting our table so we couldn't get a round of complimentary drinks ( it had gone 4 pm ) and only just had our pudding ! They sat us down late and made to feel from then on in that WE had been the problem , @£58 per head you'd expect different . We had paid up front ( if we hadn't that bill would not of been paid ) in total they took £876 of us that day , it was not worth 87 pence . Shame on you Marstons , dire experience , sure the microwave was playing up because the word CHEF cannot be used , everything was like the fake Aunt Bessie stuff from Lidl . PANTS

Good service, we were a table of 9 guests of which 8 meals were great. Unfortunately the special dietary requests were not given very good customer service. A request for gluten, onion and garlic free came with onion. Then when it was taken back and replaced it was presented on a small plate like a children's meal!! Not ideal for a family of adults enjoying a meal and someone with allergies. Otherwise it was a good visit.

Well! Well! This place seems to take one step forward and 2steps back. No manager again and staff who don’t really want to be working there. We arrived for quiz last night, as we do every Thursday. We ordered our drinks and food, and were told that they have new rules as follows. You cannot have small meals if you are an adult. ???? You cannot use your blue light card at the bar. ???? You cannot have tea or coffee after 8, as machine is turned off. ???? Before this, rule change we had 2 small meals, and 2 large meals, blue light discount ect, every quiz night without fail. Our meals arrived before quiz started, and they were ok, until I cut into the baked potato. The potato had obviously been cooked a while back , and then reheated?? It was horrible! I returned it to the bar where the waiter and chef were standing, and told them. Nice meal, but I don’t do reheated potatoes!! No reply or apology We will not be eating here again, until things improve. Very disappointed regular customer.

Ok 12 of us Christmas dinner , we had been sat down 20 minutes late, crammed into a spot suitable for 10 , tables all uneven so plates rocking , climbing over each other ( whilst people of 6 sat in luxury with space for 12 ) … food , ok food mmmmm where to start , starter was ok , but the dinners all came out maybe all 12 served in 10 minutes , some plates missing parsnips , roasties , some veg … mentioned to waitress , some things that looked like potatoes but looked like they hadn’t seen the sun never mind an oven , by this time most of the food was either tepid or eaten, so now we have a bowl of microwaved parsnip some roasties .. I don’t like to complain and to be honest it was busy but *no excuse for not serving as advertised! Ok , waitress then gets manager , he comes over and gives it “ I have on good authority that all meals left kitchen complete !” , complete sh*t YES , complete as advertised NO . Then delayed so we couldn’t have a round of drinks and as a good well gesture offered to delete the £22 charge for the bowl of cold sh*t !NEWSFLASH , we had paid upfront ! @£58 a head , I wouldn’t eat there again if it was free with AI lager . I have drafted an email to head office and I’ll strongly be blasting the lack of toilet facilities, the state of both male / female toilets / the poor food / poor management/ poor presentation/ poor microwave…. If the waitress hadn’t of tried to resolve in the professional manner she used ( kudos ) it would’ve been a different story and uproar would’ve resulted . In closing the food was poor at best , the drinks and bar service ok , waitress good as gold , manager a total slice , pub itself is run down and in desperate need of modernising and deep cleaning . * footnote , eating my poor food and listening to a drinker not in our party telling stories of his sexual conquest and fights wasn’t the angelic picture of Christmas. *footnote 2 , if you ever have to pay upfront you are more than likely to have a poor meal anywhere ! But I’d have rather of been anywhere other than there . SH*T

Great place to eat and loved my steak and chips

Came in for an unplanned lunch with my husband and children, being after Christmas I expected it to be quiet and was correct. We sat in the family friendly area which I'd great if you have little ones! The service from the girls behind the bar was great but the food was terrible! We had a check back within a minute of our food being put on the table so unable to actually tell anyone of our problems on the check back. The fish looked and tasted undress and left for some time as was hard and didn't manage to eat it, the steak was supposed to be ATLEAST medium rare... it came cold and extremely rare to blue which also wasn't eaten. Let the staff know and left extremely disappointed!!

Christmas dinner was really poor. My 5 year old daughter was served a bigger plate of food than a couple of the adults in our party of 9. There was items missing from some of our plates. The food was served cold. mh relative was served the wrong starter. We were given a tablespoon of cranberry sauce and even though it came served on my husbands plate in a ramekin and put infront of him, we were then told that it was for the whole table to share. There were no prawns in the salmon and prawn en croute and the mash was dry and sticky. One persons cherry bomb came with a frozen filling, when another persons filling was more like room temperature mousse. Waitress dropped dirty cutlery and food tipped on my husbands trousers. The entire ladies toilets was closed off and out of order (on Christmas day!!!), 9 months ago on my last visit the walls, the sinks, the floor was dirty. There was even dried sick streaks on the back of the toilet lid which my child pointed out. 😕 So looks like they are in the same/similar state. There was a disabled toilet but you had to ask a bar worker to open it. I questioned a member of staff about the toilets and she said that she can go and check if theyre in a better state than this morning if I liked. I said ok and then she disappeared leaving us standing there waiting for no reason. There was not enough staff working on the bar and we had a long wait for drinks (and the disabled toilet key), which made the food go even colder. We were really disappointed as we paid £470 between us and the only good thing about our Christmas dinner was the fact that we were together as a family.

This was a booking for 14 (2nd year for my group). I took great pains to make it as easy as possible by supplying the menu broken down into starters, mains, extras & desserts. Unfortunately you missed one whole meal, 2 had to be returned as they were poorly cooked and quite a few were lukewarm. The restaurant wasn’t busy so there was no real excuse. We’re looking for another venue next year.

Nice pub, could do with a spruce up. Portion sizes small.

Only had drinks here. Cannot comment on food. Staff friendly

Food cold, service non exitent we made our own atmosphere it was dead as a door nail!

Had a get together with my family around 10 of us. Food was good hot and fresh. Staff were friendly and helpful

Enjoyable just a little empty very few customers.

Pleasant efficient staff. Extremely expensive non alcoholic drinks with two bottles of Stella 0.0 amounting to £9.30 for just over a pint. Not inclusive or good for the hospitality sector. This is nearly a 7 times mark up on the £1.50 retail price. Marstons claim this to be competitive, but Cedar Tree Farm has Heineken 0.0 on draught for £4.65

The staff were really friendly throughout the experience, the food was a good quality and we did not have to wait long for our food. Atmosphere is only 3 stars due to it being quiet

Lovely atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff. Reasonably priced food. I ordered a pizza and was very impressed by the quality and quantity of food served. The pizza was absolutely delicious. As I was unable to eat it all I was given a box to take the pizza home in

Was here after the fireworks yesterday Saturday the 2nd of November, was told they wasn’t serving food, they then ID my girl friend who is 24 years of age, but then a young lad who was about 13 approached us saying inappropriate stuff to my girlfriend and my family and seemed absolutely blotto, he’s lucky he didn’t have a slap, he was still walking around there when he left it seemed like he was disturbing other people there also but nothing was said to him he was definitely under the age of 15 as my brother thinks he was in his kids year who is 13.

Bar maid was friendly. waitress threw food on table, breaded mushrooms frozen in middle, nachos covered too much and soggy, in fact it’s the worst food I have had in my life I won’t be returning!

For starters our food was chucked at us by the waitresss she didn’t ask if we needed anything else or anything she just looked bored, I took a bite out of the battered mushroom and it was frozen in the middle, my mother had nachos and they were soggy. We will not be coming here again as this is the 4th time we’ve had an awful experience.

Great place for parties upstairs

Just taking my brother for out for an hr and a pint

Cheerful and friendly staff, great food

Very friendly staff! Always accomodating to families. Reasonably priced. There have been occasions where food has taken a while but staff have always made us aware before ordering or apologetic! Happy to come here often!

Amazing service by Kim, amazing food and great company

Terrible overpriced lukewarm food, waiting over an hour for meals, staff even though sweet had no idea what was going on, no attempt to reassure us it was on its way, when confronted the waiter said aw, uh I'll go tell them now and then continued to run out multiple tables that ordered after us.

Had a lush Roast dinner with my family yesterday 29/9/2024 can't wait to come back again soon for food and drinks . Thanks to lovely staff well done

Food was ok nice and hot and fresh but the beef burgers were a but dry. Also not a fan of fries much prefer their chips

Staff friendly enough and the pub itself has a decent atmosphere, however ordered my food through the app 10-mins before other parties on my table ordered theirs at the the actual bar. Drink arrived pretty much straight away so clearly the app worked well, however both the other parties food came out before mine and both plates were cleared before mine even arrived. When in theory it really should have been the other way around. Also Friend ordered a steak medium rare, however it came out grey, not a single bit of pink in it. Poor work by chefs and/or service staff.

Such a warm welcome from staff when I got there, couldn't be more helpful Sam the manager was really chatty and nice and made our visit more enjoyable will defo be back again

I said I would be back and I’m so glad I did. There was a live band the night I visited. Staff were incredibly friendly, and provided a service with a smile. They remembered me from a previous visit which was a few weeks ago which is a lovely touch.

The food was delicious, had a really good time, and we will definitely eat there again. The toilets we're really clean. The service was amazing,the young lady named Kim, was very polite, friendly, did her job very well. I do think that the service from Kim, is a big factor of myself and my family returning to The Cherry Orchard.

From First step until last it was nothing but brilliant! Me and my family entered and were served quickly to a table and service. Which was handy as we have kids. Once ordered we was looked after very well by I believe her name was “Sam” *apologise if that’s incorrect*… the food was absolutely amazing!!! All clean plates, will for sure deffiently be returning with the family! Hats of to the chef, Chefs manager, general manger and the way the place is run! Thank you for a great experience! All the little things you done made a huge difference to our dining experience!

Really nice place. Clean, well maintained and friendly staff. Food was great, not much of a wait once ordered. Alcohol is a little expensive for a pub. £4.50 for a pint of Carling up to £6.50 for premium brands. I think they lean more into the eating than drinking, but plenty of options for both. I ordered steak, Sirloin, blue... Nice cut, not a bad price considering the prices lately. Would go again and a nice place to treat a family member. I know pints are expensive now, but c'mon, play the game a bit.

Had a lovely family meal here the staff were absolutely amazing sam the manager made sure we had everything we needed she was lovely and chatty and that’s what every place needs:) the food was lovely my kids enjoyed their food and had stuff to do there. I 100% recommend this place you won’t regret it!!!

Lovely pub warm and welcoming, friendly staff and the food was really nice

Food and staff were excellent. Will visit again

Upstairs venue with a bar - plenty of space for small gatherings.

The barmaid behind the bar Alex i thinks its name was is very rude. After waiting for her to serve me after she had been playing with her nails and rubbing her unibrow she then spoke to me with no manners whatsoever. She just gave the impression she didnt want to be here and very fed up!

Unfortunately they were short staffed so the order took a while. On arrival the food was cold the fries overcooked and very crunchy. We had to go and ask where our drinks were as submitted order 7.50 and still nothing at 8.25. Wouldn't recommend

Had a nice chilled afternoon with some friends. It was relaxing.

I met up with 3 friends to enjoy the food, drink and quiz. We all had a great time, the food arrived promptly and was delicious, the drinks were reasonably priced and the quiz was great fun!! Thanks Cherry Orchard, see you in a couple of weeks!

First time coming was alittle buzzing ordered food but some first choices where not possible, then the bitter was off and had to wait to get replaced. Then it's advertised 2 cocktails £11.00 but tried to say it was from this price but doesn't say 'from, waited nearly 20 mins for them to be served. Meals came out after nearly an hour wait, the sausage and mash with Caramelised red onion was raw chopped onion, the tikka curry was microwaved so much so it the chicken could bounce and take someone's eye out. Whilst waiting for cocktails and food staff stood behind the bar at least 4 of them, chatting together. The pub itself is a nice setting but poor service and food, this was our experience.

You don’t sell any of the coke ranges. I’m not a lover of Pepsi. You are missing out on a lot of customers. I live across the road from the Cherry Orchard along with several of my friends. I would love to have you as my local but I don’t enjoy my vodka with Pepsi. It’s important for me to have a drink that I enjoy and not drink what’s only available. There is a group of us locally that think the same. They don’t use your pub/restaurant for same reasons. Your app is not updated when things go out of stock. I ordered and paid for two desserts using the app, to then be told one of them is out of stock. I was told that I need to pay for my dessert again and be refunded for my first choice, which would take 3 days to be refunded. The app is clearly not working when things go out of stock. I hope this is constructive criticism and not coming across negative. Please, please, bring in the coke ranges, so that I can have you as my local. I’ve noticed that the clubs/pubs/restaurants that do provide both options Pepsi and Coke are always busy and thriving. Some light background music might help with the atmosphere. Hope this helps.

Enjoyed every of my visits here. Will recomennd to anyone for a drink or dinner. Best service!

Was one amazing after party for my son's christening thank u to the staff millie and sam ❤️ 💙 u was so amazing with us all thank u ❤️

The food was very poorly served. 1 meal out of 6 was served and we had to complain to the management so that the other 5 meals were serve together. The decor makes the premises look like a public toilet with black & white tiles etc. Very poor atmosphere. The only good thing was the free parking.

We had a wake yesterday and this is based on the buffet they provided. Cost is £500 for sausage rolls which were hard, crisps and cheese, ham sandwiches pickled onions and pork pies which tasted happy value. No refilling table we could of got all that for under £30 very disappointed in food.

Always a nice pub to visit. Food is always nice there, good atmosphere, pool table, and kids corner

Dogs are allowed in this place while people are eating? My 8 year old son is scared of dogs , one was allowed in barking we had to leave half our food to leave because he was scared, terrible

Nice place to meet up for a drink and some food.

Millie was an amazing waitress very polite and nothing was too much hassle! Amazing member of staff. Thankyou Millie x

We came today for a Birthday Meal, a group of 7 of us. The food was lovely and came out fresh and hot. The staff were lovely and efficient doing their jobs. Thank you for the great service.

Table of 11 quick service wasn't too busy staff were friendly and helpful great experience we will be back also blue light card discount was a bonus thanks again

We come weekly for this quiz. It’s a great night, hostess is great and gets a really good atmosphere . Fantastic. Night - thank you 🤩

We come every Thursday for the pub quiz and always have the friendliest interactions with the staff. Madison smashes the quiz every time! We were gutted when she went away to travel so we’re extra happy that she’s back (please don’t let her leave again).

Thursday night pub quiz is great, Maddison is a fantastic MC - always a delight! Definitely recommend.

I've been here quite few times now and I have really enjoyed food, drinks and atmosphere. Bar staff is really helpful and will help you really professional and quick.

Always had a brilliant time here, food and drink great and the staff are all friendly and have a good sense of humour

Overpriced . Do not go there if you want a PUB . Pretending to be a pub and charging extortionate drink prices . Did a review on trip advisor and got an automated piece of rubbish . Crap attitude . NEVER AGAIN .

A great night out!! Went with a group of friends and the vibe was so fun. Wish I’d got the names of the bar staff as they were fabulous. A must visit if you’re in the area 🍻

A very nice pub in a quiet neighborhood. The service is always helpful and the food is very tasty.

Very friendly place, staff welcoming and helpful. Enjoyed our meal and drinks. Had a lovely evening will certainly be popping in when next in the area. Much love xx

Good clean place, food very good staff very helpful. Good selection of beers.

Ordered soup of the day and garlic mushrooms, leek soup was a bit weak and wasn't hot Bread was dry I sent it back. Staff friendly though, but won't be going back

I had the pleasure of being served by a handsome young man with dark hair and glasses. He was very polite, pleasant, and made me feel welcome in the pub. He was well versed in the specials menu, I took his advice and very much enjoyed my juicy burger. It was reasonably priced, and the environment was inviting. Being able to watch the football with my meal was an added bonus.

Very easy to book, staff are great, food is good. We visit quite often and have a great experience every time (or we wouldn't come back). The ability to tip on our debit card would be great as we don't carry cash.

A bit run down. Mens toilets were disgusting but the women's were clean.

DO NOT GO THERE! Really overpriced drinks . Probably the dearest in Barry . Cardiff prices . Marstons should be ashamed of themselves . Not that impressed with the food that they advertised either . Wish I could give this dump a minus

Hadn t visited here for a while - and was delighted with the food , atmosphere & service . Was served by a lovely young man - Harrison - I think his name was ? Would definitely recommend this place to family & friends . Keep the good work up

Came for lunch food was lovely and hot, was told the place was under new management can definitely tell loved it will be returning soon

Food overcooked, portions are small, staff are rude

Absolutely recommend 100% have not been here in years. Heard few bad reports but since coming here today (3 adults - myself, hubby and dad) will definitely be back. Service was brilliant, food was great and they all worked as a team. The lady behind the bar I got talking to had only taken over last few weeks and it was busy which was great to see. Definitely will go back Paula & Don Nelson

Fantastic service & excellent food! Millie who served us was so helpful & friendly & would highly recommend The Chery Orchard!

Just found this great place to eat. The waitress taking the order was so cool. I told her my go to was a great burger. She said the burgers were lush. So I had the Cowboy Burger, which was juicy and full of flavour. Th onion rings were nice and crispy. The wife had Hunters chicken. My wife enjoyed her chicken, which was moist and not dry. I was glad I took the waitress at her recommendation and was not disappointed. Think her name was Millie. Great front of house person to have. Proffesional and funny at the same time. Made me and the wife really comfortable. Will come again soon

Good meal and great service by madison
