One O'clock Gate in The Vale of Glamorgan - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Fabulous fusion Korean Burgers the deep fried Cauliflower is to die for Great venue & atmosphere all year round!

We travelled from Carmarthen at the recommendation of a friend and are so glad we did. The service was warm , professional and friendly, and it was lovely that staff were smiling even though it was a busy service with a large group for a party also there. The food was lovely, particularly the satay chicken and the cauliflower. And the tiramiso (not a typo!) was superb. A great place- thank you

Have been eating here for a while now and it is by far my favourite restaurant in the Cardiff area. It has a great vibe inside, the staff are so friendly and helpful and the food in unbelievable. Highly recommend the chicken and beef bowls, but everything is so good the hardest thing is always deciding as the menu is that good.

1st visit to the One o’clock Gate last night after being recommended by a friend. The whole experience was perfect, food was amazing and the staff were great. Will definitely return soon

Brilliant food and great service

Always consistent, loved the Korean Style Burger and Bites.

It is a wonderful place to have food. 1st time we have been here. 4 of us ordered some beautiful food dishes. The 1st thing I will say is that the staff are lovely, but unfortunately it seemed very, very difficult to get their attention. They never came to ask us how our meal was, and when we wanted more drinks, we had to really look out for them to attract their attention. The food and drinks were very nice, and 100% we would go back and hopefully get a little better service. The staff were very polite and helpful when you got their attention. With regards to ordering of food, if you are a small eater then order burger and chips, if you are a medium eater and there is 2 of you, you would need to order a burger each, 2 of the separate dishes and share a dish of chips also. Went again and still service very slow, which is a shame. I personally think they need to improve their menu and give some different choices 🤔

We've been here many times and every single time is as good as before - Easily our favourite place to eat. There are so many amazing options, especially for veggies. Most restaurants go for the same, safe choices but here even veggies are spoilt for choice. The service is always really good and the vibe is always really relaxed. We've been here for celebrations, for family meals, for a quick lunch and they never drop the ball. Definitely one of the gems of Dinas Powys.

I gave a bad review once for poor service and then I had the owner come and abuse me and my partner's friend. Terrible experience.

A jewel in Dinas Powys, if you haven't paid a visit its a must, fantastic food and service.

Considering its location off the beaten path, in a fairly unassuming spot beside a rural golf club, One O'clock Gate is punching far beyond its weight. After reading a few reviews before visiting, I was expecting a decent meal but the food absolutely blew me away. This was without a shadow of a doubt some of the best food we've had in years. Every item was presented with immaculate attention to detail, and the recipes and execution were flawless. To start, we tried the tacos, which were on as a special at the time. After one bite each we were suddenly very excited to see what the rest of the meal would entail. The texture and flavours in this starter alone were phenomenal, and we were instantly reassured that the chef was not messing about. This was going to be some exceptional food. The Hot Honey Panko Cauliflower was a standout dish, which was surprising as I'm no vegan and I've never been impressed with cauliflower 'wing' type dishes before, but these were something else. The Sechuan Burger was beautifully cooked, and the use of local dry-aged beef alongside other fresh ingredients really shined through. The portion was enormous and great value considering it was only a couple of quid more than you'd pay for some tasteless, defrosted run-of-the-mill burger at a chain pub. My wife had the crispy beef which was again, seriously impressive. Even the side of sticky rice was seasoned beautifully with sushi seasoning and was a step above what we'd expected. Unfortunately by this time, we were beyond stuffed and unable to sample any dessert items. I was also impressed by the fully stocked bar, with some lovely draught options as well as wines, spirits and handmade cocktails on offer. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, but not overbearing, and had a great knowledge of the dishes on offer, helping enormously with recommendations. One O'clock Gate offers exceptional value for the service and quality you receive. The food isn't the cheapest you'll find, but it's hardly expensive, and when compared to other meals out you'd get for the same price, OOG absolutely blows it out of the water. We will absolutely return at the earliest opportunity.

We just had Friday lunch at One O'Clock Gate! The food was tasty, delicious, and fresh. I hadn’t tried Korean food before, but I'm really glad I did, and I would definitely return. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The whole atmosphere was just perfect for a relaxed Friday lunch.

We went as a family of four for a special occasion, the one o’clock gate was recommended us and it did not disappoint. The food was absolutely amazing, we couldn’t get enough of it. Two of us had the burgers and the other two of us had the mixed plates. Well we all ended sharing & having a taste of everything. Love it! Would definitely go back. To polish of the meal we had desserts, well the tiramisu was just incredible, the best I’ve ever tasted. Would definitely have that again. Staff were friendly, professional, polite, they were very accommodating, they couldn’t do enough. Great staff!

Amazing food yet again. Keeps its high standards of food and quality service. Brill

Lovely Korean food in a lovely place, worth a visit

On a positive note, we love this place - staff are amazing, so friendly and can't do enough for you. Venue is fab and very welcoming and food is delicious. .We've been 6 tmes now. The last twice the menu has changed, which we found frustrating, especially when you are looking forward to something you've had before and loved. The Soy Garlic Burger which was one of the tastiest burgers we've ever eaten has been taken off the menu and replaced with Tare which we didn't enjoy as much. We came on a Thurs and were told no chilli fries which we love, just plain fries😩 But the chilli fries were available on a set meal????? My Sis had a bowl of chicken which she thought would have come with a salad but didn't. I think menus are different on different days. It would be nice to be able to get the same thing every time. The food is gorgeous but I'm a creature of habit and would love everything on the menu to be available all the time especially a side like chilli chips. Saying that, and putting forward that little bit of constructive criticism, you will really love it here. It 's lovely x

Unbelievably good! Amazing service and the food is amazing. Kimchi Mac and cheese and crispy beef are stunning! Highly recommend

Fabulous meal and unique menu. If you want something a little different, with a fusion of different Asian cuisines and cocktails, then give it a try. Relaxed atmosphere and great story behind the owners passion to create this restaurant . Definitely worth a visit especially if you like spicy.

the food here is on another level - great menu, will be back!

Absolutely awesome! This place is definitely 5 star. The customer service was exceptional with everyone being friendly and polite. The food was super delicious, cooked perfectly with amazing flavours and great presentation. A top class experience from beginning to end, thank you one o'clock gate!

Very very good food. Most of what we had was incredible. Korean burger and mac and kim cheese were 10/10. Disappointed by the Korean fries. At almost £10 for some fries with some sauce and veg I felt they were tasty but quite heavily overpriced. Similar story with one of the mocktails we had, for what it was, overpriced. All in all, good value and great food. Will definitely go back.

Wow!!! Absolutely stunning food, small menu which makes the food better quality! We came as a family of girls and opted to share dishes, the flavours were delightful and quality and quantity of food spot on. Definitely a hidden Gem. Staff were lovely and attentive. I will definitely be visiting again!

Consistently great food and great service

First time experience: Very welcoming atmosphere, very modern considering the location, which I liked. Food was great, well cooked and plenty of hyprid flavours to choose from. I would have preferred the burgers to come with a small side of anything rather than nothing, perhaps a small salad or chips. Staff were lovely, patient and kind, even talked in detail about future menu options they were testing which was interesting. A bit on the pricey end considering burgers come standalone but very flavoursome. Would recommend :) Thanks for having us

Beautiful vegan burger. A bit costly, but very tasty. I ordered a side, which I'm glad I did as no chips or salad included with the burger. Great customer service and atmosphere here. Will return

The booking process was probably one of the most wholesome I've yet experienced. Greg and Dave were not only quick to reply, but switched on enough to predict and suggest ideas that we haven't even thought about. The venue itself was pristine, cozy and well organised. The tables were well spaced which gave big groups the ability to communicate across the table without disturbing the other patrons. The DJ helped keep the celebration feeling alive. The staff was prompt, friendly and quick to make accommodations for our needs. They were well staffed, and there was barely any wait for drinks. Finally the food...oh the food. The originality of the dishes paired with how good everything tasted made the night. We had vegans and vegetarians as part of our group and they were given proper well-thought, flavourful dishes to make up for the bits they couldn't have - none of your usual "we can make this without the cheese and the meat for you" as replacement options. All in all, I wouldn't change anything. We are going back for my wife's 30th in a couple of months. Thanks to all the staff that worked hard to make that wonderful night possible.

Have been to One O'Clock Gate many times and food is consistently exceptional. Menu is small but they do it very, very well. Without doubt some of the best food I've ever tasted and certainly some of the best available within Cardiff and surrounding area. Nice wine selection, good cocktails and atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful. They are also very good with allergies and it's one of the few places my coeliac friend trusts for food.

Excellent Saturday lunchtime. Excellent food and a good pint

Paid a visit to the ONE O'CLOCK GATE this afternoon for lunch, was not disappointed. The decor and lighting helps create an ambience of warmth and friendliness about the place. As soon as you walk in you feel at home, we didn't want to leave. The service was excellent, (well done to the team you have working there). The food was outstanding, right up my street. Would definitely come back here again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Epic food and great service. Highly recommended

Had been recommended this place and visited last night, food amazing and flavourful We all had small plates the portions are large and quality is fab Lovely friendly service will be back

Innovative contemporary small plates and burger menu. Great dessert choices too. This really is a hidden gem in Dinas Powys ,based at the golf club but open to non golf club members Based in a large function room attached to the club house the venue is light and airy. Ideal for lunch or early evening dining. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Still wearing shorts in October! The food is delivered piping hot and beautifully presented We have recently had 2 baby additions to the family. The large space provides plenty of room for buggies!

This restaurant is out of this world! The location, the food, amazing drinks, friendly staff and a great atmosphere, what more could you ask for? A big thank you to James and his team, well done!

Outstanding, first class service from friendly and informative staff, very efficient order and drinks process, fantastic food which was meticulously constructed and tasted amazing! 5 star quality in every aspect

Second time here and just as good as last time. Some of the best burgers I've had. Food was amazing, service was excelIent. I would absolutely recommend.

Always top-notch. Well worth a try if you haven't already 🙌

Excellent restaurant, incredible service and great value. I will be visiting as often as my wallet lets me.

I have been here before and I always forget that they do some of the greatest burgers in Cardiff! Food is always great. The staff didn’t make me feel weird for being on my own (dog helped) and were really attentive without being too attentive. It’s a real gem!

Great staff and very tasty food.pretty good value too.have a look at the menu!

Absolutely brilliant first class. Thank you

Invited for a family meal and did not know what to expect, but the food and service was amazing. Can't wait to return.

Birthday meal with family. We all chose the Asian/Korean burgers. The flavours were fantastic, side dishes needed more seasoning but everything cooked well. When they arrived the staff were friendly. Then we decided to look at the dessert menu and our server never returned! Everyone avoided eye contact. I eventually got up and paid at the bar without ordering dessert. Later my partner who was facing the bar told me that the bartender was goofing around and staff gathered there to chat often. Almost 5 stars, food excellent, staff very pleasant but far too inattentive.

Wonderful place. Fantastic food and tasty margaritas 👌🏻

Excellent food and service. The vegan options were delicious (particular shout out to the sticky toffee pudding) and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Had a lovely birthday meal yesterday a very different burger experience cocktails are great lovely atmosphere can't think of a negative Thanks again to the one o'clock great

My most favourite place to go, food, cocktails, staff, atmosphere all amazing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone!

Came twice this month, both times were awesome. Food, service and atmosphere perfect. Thoroughly recommend!

Great time had by all. Food was really tasty .

Awesome food. Asian inspired burgers and small plates. Flavours are exceptional. Great choice of drinks. Excellent service. Cupcakes are also divine. So happy this place is in Dinas!

Had lunch here today. Food was immense! Absolutely delicious satay chicken. Also highly recommenf the broccoli. £25 for 3 bowls of the most scrumptious asian food. Sticky, spicy and sumptuously moorish 😋😋😋😋

Lovely little place, first time there and service was helpful choosing my meal. Well presented and plenty in dishes. Had to ask for doggy bag as to much food. Well done

The food here is fab, and the staff are all so polite, friendly and knowledgeable!

The burgers are insane but the small plates are even better! My favourite place to go for a coffee or a cheeky morning pint of offshore. Highly recommend OOG, well worth traveling for, book to not be disappointed. If you are dining for 2, split a burger in half and share 3 small plates.

Loved the Korean chicken burger!

Following really helpful advice from the staff regarding food selection, I enjoyed an amazing lunch with my family to celebrate my wife's birthday. The Korean chicken burger with cauliflower and honey chips was fantastic. The fire on my tongue was cured by a quick douse from the water jug supplied when we arrived. I would have had pudding if there was any room! Prices were reasonable and about average for the fayre. Booking is optional but apparently recommended for evenings. Gluten free menu is available so son in law got a doggy bag too. Thanks guys we had a great time.

Highly recommend One O’Clock Gate. Food is superb, cocktails are some of the best we’ve had & staff are very friendly. Lovely outdoor seating and Dog friendly which is a bonus. Look forward to returning to try the rest of the menu!

I found the service very professional and I have no complaints

Fantastic food and service. Definitely heading back as soon as possible.

Can’t not recommend this place enough! Lovely friendly staff and the food is out of this world. We had the tapas style dishes which were all incredible!

Lovely food, good service. Will be returning there again.

Food is very good limited offer for me. Service is exceptional.

Get excited because you're about to eat the best food ever

Friends had been recommending this place for a while so I finally decided to go there for lunch. I went with my Mum and we both absolutely loved it. We shared the Panco King Prawns, Mac & Kim-Cheese, Hot Honey Cauliflower, Hispi Cabbage and Chilli Fries. It has been a long time since we enjoyed a meal this much and we returned a week later. We pretty much had the exact same food but swapped the Mac & Kim-Cheese for the Korean Fried Chicken. We are already planning our next lunch there and will gradually work our way through the menu. It is truly fabulous food in a contemporary setting with very attentive and helpful staff! If you haven't been there you are missing an exceptional dining experience

Great staff, fantastic food and love going there as much as we can!! Grateful that they accept cash!!

Lovely place and fabulous staff. The menu is quite small but oh wow the food was gorgeous. Shared the Korean Chicken, satay noodles, Mac and cheese, prawns and fries. It was all lovely. Reasonable prices too.

My first visit and won’t be my last. Visited for lunch today. Our waiter (tall, slim young man with glasses) was really pleasant, helpful and provided good insight into menu choices prior to our ordering. Food was delicious and good portion. Great that they provided takeaway box for leftovers. Stylish venue with a good vibe, delicious food & great service. I highly recommend.

We can't fault One O'clock Gate. Great atmosphere and space to relax, dedicated staff, food that we travel overseas to find - right on our doorstep. All the meals are intriguing delights. Even the sauces are unique. A pleasure for a meal, a drink, a coffee, an easy venue to park and meet up with choices for everyone.

Amazing food and ambiance, staff are amazing can’t fault this restaurant.

Best restaurant in Dinas by a mile. The coffee is good enough for 5 stars, but then they also do the tastiest burgers in Wales. Super friendly staff, great atmosphere. Can't praise them enough. My new favourite place.

Amazing food and very friendly service. Burgers were perfectly cooked. There's great balance between the ingredients. Gluten free bun was good, but not the best. However it still worked well with my burger. Fries are great and the Korean ones in particular. Got the sauce on the side as it's not GF. Everyone loved them. Drinks are quite limited, and so is the seating. But I'm sure once they're done refurbishing (early 2022 I was told) it'll all be better. Do yourself a favour and give these guys a try. We will definitely be back!

We had the festive burger and a few sides. Really great food, friendly and knowledgeable staff and a great vibe.

Gorgeous and creative food. Also, amazing service which makes all the difference. So helpful for the party of almost 30 people I was part of. Highly recommend! They made us all feel so welcome.

I wish I had gone sooner! Absolutely delicious, I will definitely be back!

My husband and I went there for lunch and we love everything that we ordered. The food was really delicious and a great service. We'll definitely be back again, highly recommended this place.

Amazing food, something different in the heart of the Vale. Staff knowledge of the food was excellent. Highly recommended, will be returning soon to try the rest of the menu!

Food was great, innovative and tasty. Slightly expensive but not excessive. Always anoys me when burgers don't come with fries though! Will definitely return. Desert was purple yam ice cream cookie sandwich and was incredible!

Great burgers and a variety of delicious other dishes. Service reasonable but a bit unreliable/amateurish.

Fantastic burger restaurant. Tried both Korean and Teriyaki, both were outstanding burger matching the likes of Patty&Bun or Honest Burger in London. The fries could need more work to be at the same level as the burgers and some other sides could be interesting. As a fresh team with one location, I really wish you great success in expending this fantastic concept that stands-out in the current burger scene of the Cardiff area. Think Deliveroo/Uber dark kitchens, catering corporate events, truck locations in Cardiff/Bristol…Your brand/concept is strong enough.

I just dig this place. The staff, service, ambiance and food is fantastic. See you soon guys. 😊

Check the opening hours in the day it’s closed till 5

Lovely place. The nicest coffee I’ve ever had and it came with a biscuit too. Food looked lush. Very friendly staff and nice decor inside

Amazing food by 3 young guys passionate about food and in everything that they do.

Friendly staff. Super smooth coffee. Ab fab gorgeous burgers and beer. Definitely recommend. Ideal watering hole after a walk and dog friendly too. What more could you possibly ask for.

Previously visited in a morning for coffee, which is probably the best I’ve ever had! I mean, it’s special!! Visited again for dinner with family. I’m not really a burger fan tbh but enjoyed the miso caramel chicken. The Korean fries, cauliflower & satay chicken all delicious, as were desserts. The coconut ice cream was awesome & I don’t like ice cream normally. Constructive feedback: cigarette smoke from outside was a little off-putting, so would suggest closing the doors. I felt the burger plates were small esp if you order sides. My partner was given the wrong burger - but had already demolished it by the time staff or he, had realised 😂 Most importantly, my veggie 10yr old was given a beef burger 😱 the staff realised & literally ran over to take it away after she’d already taken a nibble of it. The burgers look really similar (to me) so may be the vegan / veggie food should be more distinguishable, to prevent this from happening again? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I can only assume half our party had received someone else’s order. Despite this, the food was really lovely and it’s so refreshing to have a restaurant like this on our doorstep, we will be back.

Lovely burger. Will definitely go back.

Great service nice atmosphere good location.

Damn fine burgers, Korean fried chicken was succulent and soft, sides all fit nicely with the mains, very relaxing vibe and good choice of soft drinks and beers. Would recommend if you're in the area.

Just perfect....beautiful food, wonderful staff, the style, the settings. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Best place to eat out in Dinas Powys. High quality, reasonably priced food and fantastic service every time.
