Eloise was our server for a lovely dinner out with my grandparents!! She was cheerful, kind, friendly and created a wonderful atmosphere for our outing!! Emma and Tom in the kitchen made our food which was absolutely incredible!! We couldn’t have had a better experience! Thank you!!

Great service and very friendly staff

I had a wonderful lunch with my 2 sons at the Cwm Talwg today. I hadn’t booked a table but staff thankfully found a table for us. Lots of choice on the menu so was hard to decide !! From entering to leaving the staff were attentive and super friendly. Our orders taken promptly and food served after a short wait, staff checked twice that our meals were ok. We had no complaints !! They were delicious. I don’t think the Cwm Talwg gets the recognition it deserves which is a shame as the food was lovely. We will definitely be back. I’d recommend trying this place

Such a friendly place with fast service and delicious choices of food

Friendly staff and amazing food. Definitely recommend!

Thought we'd try an afternoon at The Cwm Talwg. Definitely not disappointed. Food and service was excellent as usual. Martin was extremely kind and helpful.

I simply love my new local! Food is really good. Never disappointed. I had the sirloin steak on my last visit and it was, perfect! Sunday Lunch was amazing the time before. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Can't fault the place to be honest. Will be back soon for sure 😊

Lunchtime last minute visit. Staff very helpful, service prompt and polite. Meal better than expected. A pleasant experience all round.

Brilliant table service by Chermaine and from Martin behind the bar. Friendly and welcoming. Food was lovely , really enjoyed our visit.

Thank to all the lovely staff for our gorgeous Sunday lunch. The food was amazing and piping hot, with yorkshire puddings to die for. We all had deserts, which were delicious. As always we felt so welcome 😍. Eloise in particular is so sweet and such a lovely young lady, so friendly and attentive! Can't wait for our next visit xxx

Such a lovely place, the food is always excellent and the staff are really friendly and chatty. Great prices too

I went with a friend and we had a lovely experience and a great lunch. Thanks to Sian for great customer service and to Emmet & Terri in the kitchen for great food - I had the chicken katsu burger and it was good.

Stunning roast dinner - cauliflower cheese was tip top

My husband and I usually come here in the week days but decided to have roast lunch today it was delicious will definitely do it again.

Great atmosphere in the pub. Food was delicious. I want the sauce recipe that accompanies the Cowboy burger! Didn't wait long at all despite the pub being really busy. Staff work tirelessly and give the best customer service. Special mention to Eloise, Nathaniel, Martin and Jerome. Never stopped and all so attentive and super friendly to customers. Menu is lovely, lots of choice. Great experience - thank you! Keep up the amazing work. 🥰

Hadn't been here for years and didn't know what to expect, in one word, amazing! Staff, prices, atmosphere and food was amazing. Will definitely be coming back soon!

Fantastic food and fantastic service. Big shout out to the 2 waitresses Eloise and Trina. Super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Lovely mothers day lunch, Lovely atmosphere with a witty and funny waitress, great fun.

Fantastic service tonight from Elouise super friendly and helpful as always .

My steak was delicious everything about my food was delicious, our waitress was so nice very helpful , the restaurant is very clean

The staff were absolutely lovely, very welcoming, very friendly especially being our first time visiting. Food was outstanding especially the spicy beef burger. Will definitely be going back and can’t wait. Thank you for a welcoming experience

This meal was made all the more special purely from the the service and treatment from our waitress Elloise(think that's how you spell it) anyway the one with bright red hair. It's not often you get treated not just as a paying customer, but as a human being, she gets it so right. People buy from people and she is a people person well done Red, made the night special thanks very much.

Eloise was a breath of fresh air. Positivity and friendliness in abundance.

Excellent service and superb food

Enjoyed the meal and the service was 10out of ten.

Great service from Elouise , nice food

Always like popping in this pub enjoy the locals and Brains bitter is always excellent

The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The food was amazing. Everything was lovely

We visited as part of a large group. Food was hit and miss however. After returning home, we were told that some food was just about warm, some over cooked, one burnt and another dry. My steak pie didn't have much filling and the pastry couldn't be cut but pulled apart. The chips were very good. Staff were excellent, very helpful and a pleasure to speak too. We haven't been out since Christmas but were shocked at the prices of drinks in a Marstons. £14.50 for a pint and double vodka and coke. £20.50 for a bottle of Pinot Grigio that would retail at £6-£7. Its no wonder that the hospitality sector is struggling with that kind of pricing. Maybe its the going rate but as pensioners that's the last visit here for us.

Very good food and really friendly and efficient staff.

Fab lunch! Had the tuna melt and it was incredible! Highly recommend. Staff are lovely. Great meal! X

Cwm talwg is such a friendly pub. Their food is always so homely! We're always welcomed in such a friendly way and staff regularly check we have everything we need. It's our favourite pub

Meal for four in the restaurant. Good service and food, wide selection, not eaten here before but will definitely go back. Good pub grub...

Lovely meal Steak was delicious . Friendly staff give a warm welcome

Eloise was excellent. An amazing friendly waitress. She helped to make our experience so positive. Food was also very good.

Fantastic service, lovely food and dog friendly! Very warm welcome from all staff- Rose, Sian M, Elouis, Ang, Emmett and Tom!

Excellent food and service. Can't wait to come back

Great food and greater service! Always happy and smiling when people walk through the door. A lovely place to go and eat with the family.

Great place to meet with friends 🧡

They were really polite and the food was amazing I would eat here everyday if I could!

We had family birthday occassion yesterday and we all agreed how lovely the pub is.. the food was superb! every meal (18) was hot, served instantly and good size portions. All staff were were a delight and we felt the pub in itself was very welcoming and with 2 family members in wheelchairs, access from parking to the facilities were point on! Will definately be visiting again. Highly recommend

Much improved since previous owners

A great 'local' pub with good food at an affordable price. The service, especially by Eloise was friendly and prompt.

Excellent service, tasty food and a great atmoshphere. Would definitely recommend!

Fab as always and great service from Nat and Eloise 😃

Love this place! Wonderful service. Great food. Food was lukewarm this weekend hence only 4 stars. Eloise is just fabulous.

Lovely staff, efficient and friendly, good food and a nice atmosphere, used the Cwm Talwg many times and always pleased.

First time visiting for change. Staff so friendly! Food really good and came out piping! Will be returning 😄

Great night, great food. Eloise was the perfect waitress, very thoughtful and kind.

Eloise was absolutely fantastic she was so lovely and welcoming, made sure our orders were just right and was happy to go above and beyond for us

Excellent food and service , We have eaten here 4 times in the last 4 months Always very helpful and friendly Very reasonably priced too !!

Always have the best service here and the food is always 10/10

We went there for a family celebration meal. That had been booked a week prior to the day. They ran out of food. So the options were limited. Which seems to show a lack of compident managent. The response by the landlord was very matter of fact. As a result I would not consider booking another meal at this venue. We have not even been back for a drink. I'm sure that others have had a much better experience.

Food was great the service was slow it took a little time for someone to let us know what table we was on had to find someone to take the order and to get the desserts

Great place to eat and drink staff we’re fab

Table booked for a group of 25, Siân and the team were amazing, really pleasant and helpful, an asset to your restaurant. Please can you pass on our sincere thanks to Siân for all her help and hard work.

Alex, Bernie Ang , Sian Connie and Elouis all brilliant and welcoming

Came up for Sunday roast today, the beef and turkey was to die for, the atmosphere was buzzing and the staff and management were very friendly and made us feel so welcome. I will definitely be back xx we brought our lil pouch with us and she was treated to a bowl of water and doggy treats just wow plus with 30% off whats not to love xxx

We has table for four in one of the booths. Our waitress was super attentive and friendly. Drinks arrived quickly. Our food order came in great time as well and it was delicious and warm and plenty of it. The fries are the best 👌🏻 The atmosphere in the pub was lively and busy. We had a great evening! Thank you.

Very good pub and good food,friendly staff

Great food from Tom and Don, and service from Eloise.

My daughter and I ate at the Cwm Talwg on a Friday evening. Despite the restaurant being very busy service was speedy and the food was excellent. It was also good value for money

Attended an 18th birthday party at the Cwm Talwg and I have to say the whole experience from the service to the food was absolute perfection, the staff were friendly, engaging, and adapted instantly when they found out my kids were fussy eaters. Absolutely amazing experience! Thank you!

We visited on a Friday evening when it was very busy. We had pre-booked the table. Upon arrival we were greeted and shown to our table. Eloise was a very speedy server and very polite. She took our order for drinks, brought them to us within minutes and took our food order. The food arrived within a reasonable time. Not too quick that you think everything is pre-cooked, but not waiting ages either. Our food was cooked by Tom and Jon and it was cooked to perfection. We had the Steak Americano each with different variations - 1 was cooked medium and 1 was medium-rare. Both were excellent. We arrived at our booked time of 18:30 and had finished eating by 19:20. We left shortly after 19:30. I certainly believe this is value for money and an excellent place to eat in Barry.

Great afternoon at the Cwm Talwg with some old friends. Great service, Great banter with Joe on the bar, cracking pint aswell...top pub

Great friendly pub Staff and management are amazing

Food was beautiful as always, but the service was fantastic from eloise and Alex it's actually really nice too have service with people that are happy.

Even though this part of a chain, it is far superior than the rest. The food was cooked perfectly, and was of a good quality. The fish was HUGE. As for the service, it was efficient and very friendly. Anything they could do for you, they did. A lovely friendly, family experience.
