This place was so busy on an early Saturday evening. A couple of pitchers between us was just the right medicine lol. Its you order via the app then it's at your table so fast. I think it would take longer to take your order from when you first sat down, but ordering from the app. Well, the first drink was served in great speed. It suited us.

Update 5th October 2024. Most draft beer is available at LESS than £2 per pint! Yes, you read that correctly: LESS than two pounds per pint. It remains an excellent modern-style pub' most popular with the younger crowd but there were quite a number of oldies on this Saturday. Huge range of other drinks at very reasonable prices served by very friendly and helpful staff. Main down-side are the acoustics: when busy it is very noisy just from the chatter. Good location, bus-stop across the road and a rail station about 200m away.

One of the nicest Wetherspoons pubs I've been to. Wasn't too long to wait for food and it wasn't too busy either. Had the all day brunch and it was nice for food to come out still hot. Other Spoons I've been to and had the same meal only the chips have come out hot.

We ordered a curry and a burger. The burger came without it's advertised sauce, the waiter said he'd go fetch some but we waited so long that we had to go to the bar and request the sauce. The poppadoms were deep fried (they shouldn't be) this meant they were greasy, cutlery got greasy, glass got greasy 😔 not the best

After my years, knowledge of hospitality. Going to various weatherspoons. This is just the cream of the lot. Not only excellence the staff give naturally. But, food,perfect when brought to the table. Taste, presentation, cleanliness. Shrewsbury is the lowest experience where staff rudeness is not condoned. Drug usage on site. Security. But staff. Are they at Shrewsbury, complacent to weatherspoons allowing this poor performance. Then I go to Barry, Gwent. This Weatherspoons. Is an excellence. Staff are so lovely. Thank you.

Bar and waiting staff were very polite food was good quality, the door staff on the other hand were bloody rude, I tried to take my 4 year old daughter and her friend to the toilets, and 3 door staff approached me and said "what do you think your doing get away from the the toilets" I tried to explain that my daughter was using the toilet, and i was just waiting for her, but they continued to raise their voices, as my daughter came out, no apology just walked off

We came to the restaurant as a family of four to have something to eat and drink. There was no staff at the entrance, so we assumed there was free seating and found a table ourselves. The decision fell on the place that was least dirty. A waitress and a waiter who passed us a few minutes apart didn't even glance at us. At some point we got tired of waiting and decided to leave again. The place gave us a dingy impression. The floor was sticky and the tables were inadequately cleaned, if at all. If we assume that hygiene is the same in the kitchen, the removal was perhaps better for our health. Maybe this pub is good for people who want to get drunk cheaply. Everyone else should give it a wide berth.

Ex cinema. Wetherspoons have done a good job repurposing the building. Sometimes loud and busy. Sometimes not enough staff to keep up with custom and clearing tables. Drinks are still quite cheap and selection is huge. In general okay.

Absolutely appalling place. My wife, my twelve year old son and I had not eaten as we had been travelling all day. For convenience, we decided to visit the Wetherspoon pub in Barry for our evening meal and a drink. We found a vacant table (of which there were many.) Table 23 which was about five metres from the bar. We took around five to ten minutes to decide on our meal and drink choices. I went to the bar and tried to place our order. At this point, there was no problem and i ordered the food. I was just going through the drinks and asked for a mineral water for my young son, when the lady taking the order asked if any of our party were under aged eighteen. I told her that my son was and she then said that she could not serve us as my son is under eighteen. I was absolutely outraged and complained strongly. She told me that children were not allowed in the pub, i think she said after 8.30. The time was not even 8.30pm anyway. The staff also had a clear view of us when we entered the pub and sat down. Nothing was said at that point. I would have still been annoyed if it had, but they let us sit there and said nothing, then took the bulk of the order at the bar. Even if this is their policy (which i find outrageous, bizarre and discriminatory to children and families,) they must have noticed us and had ample opportunity to say something, rather than wasting our time and denying us a meal when we were hungry. I thought the UK had grown out of this backward attitude decades ago re children going in pubs and restaurants with family. I asked to speak to the manager and briefly complained to her. She also said that because we would be in the pub after 8.30, then we would be in breach of their rule. A rule, which i might add, appears to be unwritten anywhere i could find on their notices. We checked the front door and windows and there was no mention of children not being allowed to eat after a given time. And even if there was any notice, it's still an absolute outrage. We left the pub. My young son was very upset and in tears. My deaf partner and i were very upset too. It created a difficulty in me explaining to her what had happened. I'm not sure how your Wetherspoons system works, but i really think the staff in the pub need to do a lot better. Even if that is their unfathomable and crazy rule, they should adopt a more flexible and inclusive approach to customer service. As a result of this incident, i'm unlikely to be taking my family to a Wetherspoons pubs ever again. I sent in a complaint, but as yet, it has not been acknowledged. A sad state of affairs that they would see a weary family go hungry.

Excellent experience we had, customer service was awesome. Our daughter likes the cheesy tomato pasta, chef mistook for spaghetti bolognese but got rectified straight away.

Had a trip to Barry and decided upon stopping for lunch as we wandered around. The Sammy Romilly honed into view as we strolled, minding our own business. A Wetherspoons pub and as such we could have scripted what it would look before we ambled through the door. A sea of tables, the odd booth, an utterly dreadful carpet and the menus standing and laying around the pub like soldiers on parade who have lost the will to live. A fourteen mile route march to the toilets, staff in varying degrees of bewilderment/annoyance/indifference, etc. And we were right. We ordered a curry and a burger, not on the same plate. They duly arrived, at the same time, on separate plates. The curry was delicious, so my wife tells me. The burger was quite nice, so I told my wife. We enjoyed the meal and decided Barry has one of the more enjoyable Wetherspoons to pass through.

I am a frequent visitor of this particular Wetherspoons. I visit when it’s quiet or busy and I must say the staff handle every situation amazingly. The pub manager Nathan is very helpful and knowledgeable, on all of the products that are sold, especially the ale and is very helpful when needed. A rather young manager who I have learnt is called Emily is always welcoming and can never do enough for anyone. All of the managers work hard, and it can be acknowledged that the team is in good hands. I recommend this pub too many Ale drinkers as they have a large variety and are part of the good beer guide, but I would happily bring my family to this establishment, knowing that they will be treated with respect and their every need will be met.

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!

What a fabulous little pub, had a walk around ogmore Castle, then stopped here for lunch, we both had the curry which was delicious. The service was spot on, the pub was very clean.
