Greggs in The Vale of Glamorgan

Very disappointing experience overall… Worst was the food we ordered, my wife and I had the halloumi cheese and red peppers in white baguettes… The rolls were hard and stale plus the halloumi was frozen wrapped in bread crumbs tasting nothing like the real cheese and the peppers were so small they were almost none exsistant…

Nice place and a good, different menu.

In Barry for the weekend we popped into The Ship in the afternoon to warm up and grab a brew. It was lovely and warm inside, especially considering this is such a large place. Comfortable, very clean and well presented it made a nice change from the 'spoons' we had been in earlier. Upon checking out the choiceable menu and the very reasonable prices we decided to return that night for dinner around 7pm. The place was very very quiet! This didn't bother us as we had the pick of the tables and opted for a snug booth. The booth had a built in TV which we believe shows CBBC, a great idea if you're visiting with kids. We were served by a lady called Micky who helped me choose what to have. The Lamb Keema stack was a good choice and very nice and priced at just £11 (Saturday deal) couldn't be faulted. My partner had Chicken Tikka which she enjoyed - before starting on Cocktails which The Ship has a good choice of. Throughout the visit service was good and staff were friendly. We stayed until closing and will definitely return if we are back in the area. Highly recommended. +++++

Lovely service and lovely food. Jackie was so friendly and kind. She was really helpful. We had a lovely Valentine’s Day.

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
