Nice pub food at a reasonable price but drinks are very expensive. Had 3 pints and spent over £17. Food good. Service not so good took food to wrong table if I had not said the food was mine the person on the other table who didn't oader food would have eaten it.

The food, service and atmosphere were great. We came around midday for a brunch(ish) meal. We ended up having a lamb kofta flatbread and a lamb keema stack respectively and both were way above what you’d expect from a pub for the quality and sizing. The seating areas are lovely and even at midday it was still very lively inside with families. I can easily recommend coming here.

A Dissapointed trip, Our table was taken by someone else so we were put on another one which was too small, the drinks were fine. My child ordered a jacket potato 😳 £4.99 for the world's smallest potato, I could have bought a bag and had a decent size. My daughter is autistic and this didn't go down well. My burger was awful, burnt flooded in sauce and with a tiny blob of salad and onions. The chips were old and dry the sausage meat was pouring with grease the bun was stale. My partners burger was also burnt and all thrown together. We ended up skipping dessert and taking my children else where. Such a shame as it's not very often we go out as a family for dinner, it just caused more stress on us. My children also got bullied from the moment they stepped foot in the park, honestly what is wrong with this world.

Absolutely shocking here! Staff over worked/stressed/rushed. Tables dirty, stale bits of food, crumbs. The worst food I’ve ate in a long time. Poor quality, cold, soggy, it seemed warmed up not fresh thrown on the plate with no presentation. Atmosphere, It was a free for all with children running around playing tag, climbing over balcony area, screaming and shouting and allowed to do this by parents and staff. There was no control or rules. Other members of the public were tutting and horrified by the running of the place and got up and left. This seems normal as visited here about 2 months previous where it was exactly the same. I believe in 2nd chances to try again but Note to oneself NEVER EVER GO THERE AGAIN! Stay clear everyone, you will spend alot of money for a very bad experience and a ruined afternoon.

Food was absolutely disgusting. Wife had the sliders and not one of them was actually made, the bread was put on the plate and the chicken fingers and burgers were just thrown on there like nachos. I had the a new menu item a burger with chilli beef and cheese and it was sloppy tasted horrible and my fries looked 2 days old. Had a horrible stomach all night thats why im leaving the review. I will never step foot in this place again.

Food was fine but cost about twice what it would at Wetherspoons (and the Scampi side was about half the amount). It also took about three times longer to arrive than it normally does at 'spoons (admittedly I went to HH at a busier time). I can see why the Horse got Hungry!

Don't be fooled this is just a regular low quality hungry horse that serves microwave fodder, and the vegan options are all imitation meat products, impossible garbage etc, waste of money waste of time, would not feed this stuff to a dog. Had to spit out a mouthful half way though and my parents took the rest of my meal to feed to their dog - I said I would not feed it to a dog, my parents clearly would. 😏 Nice venue though, would go there for drinks maybe, but then I don't really drink. How about a normal vegan option, with just vegetables? Ever thought of that? 🤯

Sorry - not for me - tried it because W'spoons had shut but not a patch on the Bears Head!! Food cold (i had a 'sizzler' and even the iron plate was cold!!) steak tough and all round not a good experience. We did visit on a Monday a'noon and I do realise that perhaps not the best staff on at that time but will not be going back - sorry.

Most of the food was ok all enjoyed ,but we had a full monty mix grill and I was very disappointed with the meat, the chicken breat was more like 2 scolops in size and shape, the gammon was like inch wide, 4inch long, the steak was cooked correct but was more like a cut off piece, for me very disappointing, didn't say anything at the time as didn't want to spoil it for family

We had curry, so out comes the onion bargies that were cremated, asked for new ones this time they were mushy went to have a bite and they were extremely hot. How they come out, they must have been on a pre-cooked pile in the kitchen and all they did was microwave them. So if you want cooking lime this ask for the micro chief because he can't cook. They've lost my custom

I keep giving this place a second chance, but the disappointment continues. Nothing wrong with the food, in fact its usually very good, but service is poor. The 'kids' serving try their best, are polite and courteous enough, but the current crew do seem out of their depth. My main issue is the time it takes from placing your order to actually receiving your meal. On my last visit there were three serving front of house and two behind the fryer, who appeared to be having a jolly old time. It took 20 minutes to get my of double pie and chips and I just wonder exactly how difficult can that be? There were only 3 other cusomers in the shop, we weren't waiting for a fresh batch of chips. My order was taken reasonably quickly, as was payment, so I suppose once you've paid, you either have to patiently wait and set frustration aside, or ask for your money back. On another note I can't recall another chippy where you pay before your food is actually prepared. Perhaps people have ordered in the past, got fed up and left without their food. Maybe that's where up front payment comes from? I thought chip shops were classed as fast food outlets, well not in Cowbridge. So come on Cowbridge Fish Bar, just how long can it take 5 people (with only 3 customers in the shop), to serve up two portions of pie and chips? Whilst waiting, another customer ordered a tray of chips and gravy about 10 minutes before I left. Not sure exactly how long that transaction took to complete, but he was still there when I eventually left. The 'system' seems to be set up strictly to benefit the owner and to the detriment of customers. Or is it just that priority is given to online orders? If that's the case perhaps customers could refer to a numerical queuing system just like phoning your docter. By the way online orders were picked during my 20 minute stint. Its such a shame because the quality of food has a lot going for it. I'll try againg soon and report any changes or otherwise! Spud Basher.

I ordered coffee and food to eat in as I wanted a proper cup not a paper cup. We had a dog with us do we’re set immediately outside the door. I was not allowed to take my coffee cup (cost £3.30!!) outside / he went to pour it in a paper cup / so we stepped inside. After eating we were told we couldn’t bring the dog in! The food was pricey and basic not fresh. The service appalling with rude staff. We won’t be going here again. I’m not paying £3.20 for mediocre coffee in a paper cup sat outside!!! I can understand “takeaway “ but we weren’t taking away! Shocking!
