St Mary’s Restaurant in The Vale of Glamorgan

Visited Lunch time Six adults two children We has melon ,soup and crayfish salad for starters the portion were huge the salad and melon beautifully presented were meals in them selves. The mains were well presented we had beef, turkey and pork again large portions on plate plenty of various roasties with plenty of tureen of veg lots of hot gravy and the meal themseves were very hot Usual assortment of desserts again substantial portions. Staff very well presented cheerful and helpful Great day

We have been attending this venue for a number of years for a Family Christmas meal... a mixture of oaps adults and children 50 guests, the meal was pre-ordered the week before (from a limited menu) to give them plenty of time to prepare, the turkey and beef arrived but 5-8 minutes later the veggies arrived by this time the meat was cold,... I also thought the quality of food has deteriorated over the last few year... the were just 3 staff serving that included the bar maid.. on tempting to purchase a drink mid way through the meal we were told that the bar was closed for 10mins until the meal had finished being served which was more like 20-30 mins... the meal was not up to the usual standard.

Hadn’t been here before but decided to give it a try as we come from Bridgend & our friends from Cardiff. So easy to meet. Although we arrived early at 12 & the place was empty, we felt welcomed by the waitress. Had drinks & decided to go for the lighter options of flatbreads & sandwiches. Must say we were all very happy with the food. Excellent presentation, tasty & plentiful meals. More people arrived & it was a nice atmosphere in the bar. So much so that we’ve booked our Xmas get together there in December! Would recommend.

The bar was lovely, but the courtyard is lovely to have a drink before a meal on a warm day. We celebrate a birthday and the staff was so helpful, nothing seemed to be to much trouble for us. The food was excellent and the wine selection was good and I found the hotel did not excessively charge for bottles of wine. The table was decorated beautifully and it was just a shame that I and a few others were far to full to enjoy deserts! Would happily eat here again any time, and thank you to all the staff making it such a lovely evening

Lovely place to eat, food good although we booked in advance and were a party of 9, When the waiter took our orders there were many food items not available, considering we were the only ones there (6.30pm booking) , this was disappointing however what we did have was superb.

My partner and I have visited the resteraunt twice recently and have been impressed by the quality of service and food produced. My partner had the duck starter which was flavoursome and excellently presented. The portion servings were perfectly sized and set up the tastebuds ready for the main. I went for the fillet steak which again was superbly presented with proper chips, on the vine tomatoes and the best peppercorn sauce I have ever tasted. The steak was also very delicately cooked and was juicy. It seemed to be pan fried which retained the juices and didn't taste dry which is often the case when grilling. My partner went the same on mains and elected for the choux buns with caramel which again was packed with flavour and punch. I would highly recommend this venue. Tony the server was amazing and friendly. The ambience is very welcoming and follows a golf/nautical theme.

On original booking had asked to eat in the conservatory but due to a convention taking place ate in the bar area, this was no problem and seats were comfortable and we were not directly in front of the serving bar. Food was very good, piping hot and very tasty. Staff were friendly and attentive. (Only problem with eating at St.Mary's is internet connection is not good or unavailable.)

This was the second time this month to visit this restaurant the first was a party of 6 the second time was a party of 11.One cannot praise the establishment highly enough for the welcome,service at the bar and it's quality and service at the table. Tony runs a well organised *Ship*

Try the Sunday lunch good value been going often wish we could go every sunday when we have gone it's allways fab

Didn't book just turned up at lunchtime. Sat outside due to canine company! Ordered 2 meals for £12. My husband had the gammon and I had chicken and mushroom pie. Really couldn't fault the meals in fact my pie was the best pie I had had. The chicken was proper chicken breast not that rubbery stuff you often get in pie and the mushrooms were delicious. Service was fast. The water feature, flora and fauna set a lovely scene even though the weather was a bit grim. Well worth every penny.

No restaurant open No one to meet you at reception Doors locked at 10.30 ring porter to get in Bedroom clean but very dated We didn’t even stay cut our losses and left Will not return

First visit for Sunday lunch and was well impressed by the meal we had. A choice of three roasts, turkey, beef and pork, plenty of it and very tender. Veg consisted of boiled and proper roast potatoes, roast parsnips, cauliflower cheese, carrot and suede mash and and a mix of broccoli, carrots, french beans and cabbage and plenty of home made gravy. Too full after the meal for a pudding but a good choice if you can manage one. The service was excellent, very friendly and obliging. Will definitely be returning, highly recommended.

A little quiet in the hotel in general and the food is still up to an acceptable standard. The Golf course has had a small upgrade.

My husband and I eat here at least twice a month. Last night 17 of us went for a family meal and I would just like to say it was wonderful. The food was all served at the same time no one was kept waiting - the table was wonderfully presented and as always the Staff friendly and warm. Food always comes with a twist and every meal that was ordered everyone enjoyed.

Had a few meals here this year, meeting friends who were staying there. Food was good and staff friendly.

Had a fantastic family lunch here to celebrate my husband's 80th birthday. The food ( 3 course meal) was exceptional and very good value for money. There were 19 of us , having made our food choices beforehand, and the service was first class with everyone being served on time. The setting in the conservatory was superb and we couldn't have wished for a nicer way to celebrate this special occasion. Thank you to all of the team that made this s a day to remember.

Had Sunday lunch with The South Wales Classic Car Club, lovely food completely spoilt by lack of enough staff to serve it, by the time veg gravy etc came meal was cold, desserts the same, had to wait ages, a shame as food was excellent quality, not the staffs fault they did their best, but poor management. The room was pre booked and they knew clubs requirements.

Excellent choice of starters, mains and desserts. Daily Specials also. Well presented and cooked perfectly. Probably biased as I stay at the Hotel every week but food is really excellent value for menu and service to match. Would highly recommend.

Primera visita para nosotros, y nos quedamos encantados. Comimos la ensalada de caballa para comenzar y como se puede ver en la foto de la presentación no era increíble. El sabor era genial y la salsa funcionaba bien. Cada uno tenía una principal. Ternera, cerdo, Turquía. Todos los platos principales eran buenas, la patatas asadas eran tostados y la carne eran de buena calidad. Dice pan salsa hecha, pero creo que es un paquete o ready made comprado. Esto era probablemente la única cosa que no era perfecto. En general, es un buen lugar de comida.

Sin duda, esta comida ha sido el mejor que hemos tenido en mucho tiempo. Lo único que lamento es que nos ha tomado tanto tiempo para visitar este lugar.

Alojarse en la calle Mary's Hotel, cené en el restaurante dos veces. El servicio era amable y la comida excelente en calidad, presentación y tamaño de porción. Los precios eran razonables y sin duda comer aquí.

4 of us went here for lunch. Menu was extensive and reasonably priced. I had chicken curry which was lovely and the curry sauce came in a separate container which was better because I could put as much or as little sauce as I wanted it. All of us enjoyed the food and would recommend a visit. Staff were friendly and service was prompt.

My daughter got married here in may. Beautiful setting amazing grounds.Friendly & helpfull staff. Perfect setting .

Had a 2 course lunch here last week with a mate. Spent roughly £40 including 2 pints of Italian lager @ £4.50 per pint. The meals were basic and the fries were frozen chips out of a packet. The service was good and this is a very nice place in which to eat. However, they need to up their game as to the quality of the food. I had bread, olives, dipping oil to start and it was probably the worst I have tasted to date. I have played and enjoyed a round of golf at this establishment on a number of occasions so it was really disappointing to be served food that was undeserving of any praise. This is a great pity as the surroundings, buildings, ambience are all excellent.

Having visited this premises previously ,on a lovely sunny day we returned for lunch. The menu board was plenty and varied, but we chose the 2 meals for £11, it was excellent value and the menu had very good variety. The staff were very good and the meals were served quickly and hot. The premises was clean and welcoming ,We ate in the conservatory which had plenty of space. We will definitely be returning .

group of 6 for sunday lunch, picking from a set menu with a lot of choice. Most of us had the beef which was lovely, it wasnt tough, it wasnt fatty it was cooked properly. We have been a few times and everytime the service and meals are top notch. Great value for money and great service, im sure we will return again.

Looked forward to a nice meal in a nice restaurant but got the opposite. Worst meal I have had in a long time.

Food for 4 which was very good. Restaurant very busy but seen to very quickly.Three courses plus drinks which was great value.

What one considers friendly another considers too familiar; familiarity aside, the waiting staff were okay and worked hard. Sunday lunch pork, beef and lamb were all served with the same gravy and dull vegetables that all seem to have been both boiled and roasted. The starter of chicken liver pate was bland and appeared shop-bought. (I'm not saying it was, just that it seemed artificially bright, smooth and yet tasteless.) The strawberry cheesecake was tired (and, perhaps, (also) made off the premises). Two of my party thought the lunch good; had it not been for them, my rating would have been a 'poor'.

Having quite a hunger after navigating the St Mary's golf course, we enjoyed a pint in the players lounge. We decided to ask if there was a table available for a meal. We were warmly welcomed up to the dining room, sat and had an excellent meal. I had Welsh Lamb, and my friend had fillet steak. It was delicious, and would recommend it to anyone. We paid the bill and left.

Smashing hotel, lovely rooms, great breakfastFriendly and efficient staffBeautiful country location on the golf courseIf you play golf or just go for a walk, the grounds are a delight

Booked Afternoon Tea for two within wine via Groupon. The food was well presented and started with tea or coffee (which was refilled throughout the tea) and a mini cup with tomato soup and sausage roll so different! Sandwiches, scones and cakes were tasty and enjoyable, in fact was full to bursting!! The only criticism was the size of the glass of wine which came with the offer - very small.

Quiet location in the country, good bar and restaurant and nice comfortable rooms. Wifi a bit weak. We have stayed here a few ties now and always enjoyed it.

This year, we decided to go to this restaurant to eat Christmas Dinner. We were greeted by friendly staff who offered us sherry or mulled wine on entry! The starter was gorgeous. I had prawn, crab and crayfish salad to start (which I'd recommend). Then, a blackcurrant sorbet was served up by Tony's staff. It made me like it even though I'm not a fan of blackcurrant. Then the main meal came. The turkey dinner was probably the worst course because of the gravy. It was watery and didn't taste like proper gravy. I looked forward to the dessert most. The cheesecake was nice, but, it could be improved. The last course was coffee or tea and mince pies. In the end, the children had presents. And they were pretty damn good selfie sticks! I rate this restaurant 90 Points out of 100!

I booked a Festive Afternoon Tea with Prosecco for myself and a friend has a treat for her. We were welcomed by Tony (he is Italian) a lovely friendly man who made us feel comfortable and very welcomed. The food was lovely with a range of sandwiches, crisps, and a variety of desserts, it also includes tea or coffee which Tony offered but we declined and went straight for the Prosecco !!! It's a lovely pub/restaurant and will definitely be returning ....maybe with our other halves ;) Thanks again to Tony he is a true star :)

We had a luncheon for 53 people in the Conservatory, which in it's self is splendid. With a range of menu choices, the meal was superb, the service was 7* they could not do enough for all of us. Each table was served at a time with a piping hot starter and main meal.I will not single any one person out as ALL the Staff were so helpful and very friendly, we will be back again next year, if not before.

family meal food excellent value for money Tony very polite and helpful all had a lovely time will definitely visit again

I went here with my grandparents where we enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch. Plenty of everything on the plate, gorgeous cauliflower cheese and a very nice house wine. All very affordable too! The staff are very friendly, helpful and don't try to rush you out. Would definitely recommend.

went as a party of 6/ last minute booking. Good welcome and service. Excellent choice not been there before even though it is quite local. Pleasant surroundings will certainly be visiting again in the future.

OK it was Sunday evening and I was eating in the bar but this wasn't fine dining. The basics were fine: king prawns in a crispy tempura batter and an albeit small sirloin steak. But the chili sauce dip lacked spice, the English mustard didn't have much of a relationship with Mr Coleman and the wine list was sparse. There was only one wine by the glass and it was rubbish.Service was fine but the meal lacked an edge.

Had a good lunch here, it is in a lovely location the staff are all extremely helpful and the prices are very reasonable. We will return for a meal for sure.

I have visited this venue on a number of occasions over the years,mainly on the weekends.Friday-Saturday evenings and Sunday Lunch.Never had reason to complain.Good food and pleasent staff.I took a party of 8 to dine on Monday the 18thMay around 1730 hrs.The place was empty.Not a staff member in sight.We sat in the bar area for 10 minutes,and then decided to look around for signs of life.Found a cookin the kitchen,who then went to find the duty manager.On making an appearance heinformed the party that the restraurant was closed,we could dine in the bar/lounge areaHe served us with drinks,and then left us to arrange the tables and chairs to be able to sit together.After another long wait we had to look for him to place the order.One got the feeling that we were not wanted,and spoiling his night.The only good part of thisvisit was the pleasent waitress who turned up later.The standard of food was average.You can get better "Bar Meals" in local pubs for a lot less money.My bill £134.70 forpoor service and average food.Making another visit !! I think not.

Went here today for Sunday Lunch, it's pretty much on our doorstep but not somewhere we normally go although we've had a bar meal once or twice! We had 3 courses - chicken liver pate with spiced apple chutney, a trio of roast meat & a berry cheesecake. The food was excellent, it looked good and tasted good, a beautiful array of fresh vegetables cooked to perfection! If I'm honest I would have liked a thicker gravy but the taste was there. The staff were great, friendly & attentive. We will definitely recommend and will certainly be going back again.

Saw a blackboard with a cheap meal deal, gave it a go. It was cheap for a reason distnctly average pre prepared food wont be returning.

The staff were very pleasant and efficient. The meals were excellent, amongst the best we've had in recent times. Lovely setting, too. Recommended.

we decided to go out for Christmas lunch now all our children have left and have families of their own, we have had meals here before many times, and have never been disappointed. On arrival we had mulled wine and canapés, very nice, and after a while we were shown to our table, the food throughout was lovely, and the whole day was relaxed there was no rush to finish, and I the atmosphere was just as relaxed, we were maid to feel very special, the staff were lovely.

We went here for our Christmas meal from work. The restaurant was quite quiet but I have been here for Sunday lunch when it is very busy and it is still very good then. The food was very tasty, beautifully presented and all came out at the same time. For the main course there was plenty and loads and loads of fresh vegetables, not tinned rubbish. It was also amazing value at £12.50 per head for two courses with the option to pay extra for dessert or coffee and mince pies. Gorgeous !

After seeing the good reviews on Trip Advisor, we looked forward to a meal here. My wife & I ordered the southern fried chicken sandwich with chips and a salad. The meal arrived very quickly so obviously didnt take long to prepare. The chips were very skinny(Macdonalds type frozen) not much salad and an average chicken bap. I know we only paid £4.99 but we paid the same at the Cherry Laurel and the meal there is many times better. We ate at the Saint Marys Bar which is connected to St Marys Golf & Restaurant. We wont be returning.

I have been eating here weekly for the last few months taking advantage of the two for one menu at lunch times. The menu though not especially extensive is good value but as a vegetarian I am very limited. The menu seems to change every month or so but in the meantime I pretty much have the same meal every week! That aside, the food is good, its very quiet and the staff are efficient and friendly. Would definitely recommend it.

Great venue, great staff, great food, great surroundings. Toni and all his staff are truly fantastic at what they do, they make you feel most welcome and at home.Whether you're looking for an "early evening special" or that "special evening", you can be guaranteed of finding it here.

My son and I called in, by chance, this week when the nearby Harvesters was fully booked up.What a wonderful diversion that was - we both had delicious food and the service was warm and friendly. Given that there was a wedding function on that evening, we were very impressed with the welcome we received and the speed of service.I ordered a chicken korma which arrived on a beautifully set out tray with rice and chips - it was very tasty. My son's fish looked great too. Great value for money.We shall meet there again before long.

We ate here one Saturday evening in May. There were 4 of us and although there was a wedding on at the time we were made to feel very welcome. Staff were so friendly and had plenty of time to talk to chat to us even though they were clearly very busy. Myself and my husband eat out a lot but I have to say we can't remember having a better meal for the price. We were visiting relatives at the time, they wanted to treat us and said there isn't anywhere better in the area. Next time we visit we are definitely going to book a room aswell. Can't wait to return!
