Fountains Tea Rooms in The Vale of Glamorgan

Been here twice in the past year. It was bad the first time but worse the second. Food is expensive and portions are small. I had a breakfast which you either had hash brown OR mushrooms I asked for both and was charged £1.25 for literally the smallest amount of mushrooms. The cheapest produce money can buy. None of the tables or chairs match with anything, some are uncomfortable. It's really small and not much space to eat.crockery is all mismatched, stained and chipped. We asked for 3 pots of tea which were brought out in 2 different size tea pots. They don't even offer you sauce or anything with your meals. I have worked in catering for about 20 years, it's a shame because the cafe has been there for Bout 30 years and still seems popular by people who know nothing about food. I will not be returning.

Been here a handful of times , quite stingy portions mushrooms on toast few mushrooms and could not eat the crust as never eat crusts and couldn't eat because knives was too blunt , all in all quite poor , will probably not return 😔

Good food love there breakfast 😋 nice place and really friendly people defo recommend 👌

Fish burnt peas dry no tartare sauce really bad for the price

We’ve usually had nice meals at Fountains, but today’s meal was poor. A broken, hard fried egg should never have been put on the plate, and the toast was the thick end crust, not a nice piece of toast. Disappointing.

First time at the Fountain and will definitely be going back there whenever I go to Barry. Good value for money, v.friendly service, had a sandwich and a drink deal which was lovely, I asked for oat milk for my coffee, no problems, i highly recommend.

We often have lunch here, and always friendly staff and good honest food, prices also good.

Nice jacket potatoes and children's meals. Reasonable prices. Was being managed by a lady and grandchildren when we visited. The grandchildren were very helpful. The toilet needed to be unlocked and the youngest granddaughter went to get me the key. Nice decorations on walls too

Latter and cheese toasties £8.60. Toasties comes with crisps and coleslaw. Cosy cafe. Alice in Wonderland theme

My favourite place for a shopping break. Beautiful food and nice cup of tea from a teapot. Highly recommended 👏👏👏

Had a breakfast here, was very tasty and everything was cooked to how we requested. Price is a bit steep but you get what you pay for. A toilet is available. There are steps to the cafe, can be an issue for some.

A friendly welcome when you arrive ,nice feel to the room. A good menu of choice if you want just a tea/coffee and cake or a main meal. nicely decorated makes you feel relaxed and calm. food was great best food in the area. great on your own or with a group.

This place is perfect we went upstairs and expected a typical tea room layout but it was filled with Alice in wonderland decorations it was so mad and so much everywhere I felt like I was in wonderland. The food was lush and people that work there are so friendly. I definitely recommend this place !!!!!

Food was absolutely disgusting for the expensive price... Brought me solid poached eggs and expected me to be OK with it. The cook is terrible and the customer service was no better. Will not eat here again, unless a proper chef comes in.

Cosy tea room. Received a warm welcome. The Latte was spot on!

Lovely local business. Better than tax Dodgers Starbucks and Costa. Support local businesses

After walking the streets for a traditional British cafe....we only kept finding Italian cafes in Barry. We accidentally came across this in the high street. ....... A single door .... It's upstairs this little quaint cafe. Very friendly service. My partner wanted to go here as he read on the menu they did corned beef homemade pie and I opted for lasagne. Blond young lady who served us was very helpful. Very helpful to us several customers. Food was amazing......so impressed we'll definitely be going back.....it's decor is like Alice in Wonderland....very satisfied customers

Lush fun alice in wonderland themed cafe, banging homemade food and just an all round great laugh

Bacon and eggs allways great allways have a rambow breakfast haven't been in for a wile will do soon

So I'd like to start this review of with the the food I ordered a cheese and bacon toasty and I must say its the first time in a long time I've been given a traditional cheese and bacon toasty I throughly enjoyed it it was well filled and you could tell it had been made with love the cook seems to really enjoy there line of work witch you can tell by the food surved the waiting time was less than 5 minutes and it was nice to wash it down with a lovely cappuccino all in all the service was amazing all thrue out will definitely be coming again

Had a take away roast made bye claire it was amazing the beef was so tender and sort the rosties yummy it was all so lovely

Sunday dinner was awful sorry, a tiny amount of meat, 1 tiny frozen Yorkshire pudding but was meant to be 2, 3 tiny frozen roast potatoes and frozen veg, completely tasteless wouldn’t recommend!

Lovely friendly homely cafe.. Good food. Excellent service.. Highly recommend

Excellent customer service and the food is amazing, and good price definitely be back thankyou and will see you soon

Fab customer service,food was delicious and hot, definitely be returning 😊

Really enjoyed my breakfast will be back thank you

Not great here at all. Its been a long time since I'd been here but went for a breakfast recently and the quality was really poor. Took me a long time to get served and I think I was eventually served by another customer. The breakfast came out and it was freezing cold and things were overdone. Really bad considering I was one of only about 4 customers there

It's like the secret tea room. I was impressed with it and the staff and value for money and I will happily return here when I am in the town in the future.

Terrible staff and customer service was awful. Not good value for money, at all! Asked for coffee got tea, asked for beans and tomatoes got beans and was offered condiments, i asked for red and 2 second it took and i was brought brown. Unsurprisingly she continued to blame other customers for her inadequacy. Zero stars! I'm not sure if you knew the customer you blamed or not but from a new customers point of view it looked unpleasant.

We stopped here yesterday for breakfast for the first time. The staff were lovely and the breakfast was great. There was another party with young children and they worked hard to keep them amused. Well done.

Daughter had a breakfast asked for no egg. Came with egg all they done was scraped it off . Not a good service at all

Lovely restaurant, i enjoyed my desert, well cooked

Always enjoy visiting here any time of the day for good food at a reasonable price. Especially like the toast use.

Three of us visited for food. I had uncooked faggots and it was cold, the others had a small breakfast and a large breakfast with extras. Large breakfast was missing items and served cold, small breakfast was also missing items, also served cold. All the toast was served on one plate. Worst meals ever.

We went to this cafe for a breakfast/brunch on a Saturday morning. Nice menu with lots of different options - suited all three of us who were after different things. Prices reasonable, service friendly and the food good. Lots of interesting decor and a cosy place to spend an hour. Will definitely be returning!

Found this place by chance. lovely breakfast and staff are kind and friendly. quick service aswell as a really nice coffee.lots of homemade cakes. will be back

Lovely place, lovely food and staff

Decided to pop in at lunchtime for an omelette and chips and ended up having freshly made potato and leek soup with a roll instead as it was a cold day. Food was absolutely delicious and warmed me up, place was absolutely packed and it was hard to find a seat and yet service was quick and friendly. No matter which day of the week I come here or how busy there is always time for a smile and a chat. Will be coming back again soon, thoroughly recommend!

Have started coming here as one of my friends recommended this place. Once I went in I felt immediately welcome and just ordered a tea and a burger meal which looked very impressive and was very tasty. Have since been there once or twice a week now and have tried most things on menu. There are homemade cakes and scones and apple pie. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, if you don't see something on menu you can ask. I thoroughly recommend this place and will continue to visit every week or more if I have the time!!

Good service staff very pleasant and helpful.

Food is very nice. But up stairs

Always great food and a wonderful welcome
