The Bush Inn in The Vale of Glamorgan

We were staying locally with friends and they recommended this pub for its atmosphere, service and food. The four of us went and I have to say I was not disappointed. We were greeted by a friendly waitress and shown to our table, they were very busy, but orders for drinks were prompt. Its a good menu and orders and food delivery were also delivered in a timely fashion. The only downside I can think of was that we could not add any tip to the final bill when paying by card. It was cash only. A huge oversight on the part of the management as between us we had no cash. A great shame as we could not reward the good service we had received

A beautiful thatched country pub. Lovely cosy atmosphere. We ordered a focaccia with hummus and cherry tomatoes for £10. When it arrived it was 3 small pieces of ciabatta with hot hummus and 3 halves of cherry tomatoes on the top garnished with rocket. We were very disappointed but decided to wait and see what the main was like. Our battered fish,triple cooked chips and peas were satisfactory. However the young waiter that served us couldn't do enough for us. Overall a bit disappointing which was a shame as last year's experience was quite different.

Lovely old pub restaurant, food good though not sure about the focaccia bread.... fabulous desserts. Parking easy front and back.

Beautiful thatched pub in a stunning position opposite the village church. Service first class, attentive but not intrusive. Lovely pint of Wye Valley on cask. Mum and I shared their rabbit pie with fresh mash and vegetables. Delicious and plenty of food for the two of us as her appetite is not what it used to be. 100% recommended

We had the most lovely time at the Bush Inn. The staff were welcoming and so friendly. The food was really delicious and the atmosphere in the pub was perfect for the last meal of our holiday. The staff were so genuinely lovely and chatted to us about our holiday and also welcomed our pooch with open arms. Would love to go back if we are in the area again. Had a wonderful evening!

A great country pub in a lovely spot. Had dinner early on a Saturday evening and the food was great. Very cosy and friendly atmosphere, with nothing too much trouble. All of the staff had a smile on their faces and were very friendly. Definitely worth the drive from Cardiff City Centre.

The owner was an excellent host and gave us the warmest welcome sitting us by the fire while they prepared our table . Relaxed atmosphere. Beautiful steak. Lovely afternoon

A lovely Sunday lunch. Attentive staff, and a great celebration marking our 35 th wedding anniversary. We live in the next village, so have been coming to The Bush for well over 40 years now. Always cosy and welcoming, with a lovely atmosphere. A superb village pub!

Delicious lunch - excellent venison pie, proper pastry and delicious venison, gravy and leek filling. Perfectly cooked vegetables and my wife had Lamb cooked three ways which was also delicious. Good service - highly recommend based on today’s visit.

Very cosy, charming country pub. We went for lunch NY day and so it was understandably very busy. The service was lovey, but the food did take over an hour to come out. The chicken pie was delicious but not a sign of the gammon or leek as described, - that said, it was very good. The place is dog friendly on specific tables and it had a good vibe. I fully undertand the wait as it was packed. We will be back. Thank you

Beautiful rustic thatched pub with lovely atmosphere and great food. This was my first visit and I was pleasantly surprised after my daughter booked a table last minute. Menu was extensive but we all had great meals, from vegan dishes to my lamb 3 ways, which I have say exceeded all expectations. Beer range not massive but ok. I would imagine in the summer it would be equally beautiful with good outside area and quaint hamlet. Definitely worth the visit

We come here quite regularly, and it is definitely worth the 30 minute drive. Attentive, friendly staff and always great food.

Another nice local pub/restaurant with a good variety of food which was all very nice. Good range of specials when we were there too and a pleasant quiet atmosphere. Will hopefully be coming back soon

A really quaint country pub in the Vale of Glamorgan. Service was friendly although I did feel they wanted us to leave the restaurant at about 21.00 as they were cleaning tables around us. Notwithstanding that, the food was generally good, although the focaccia bread we had as a starter was tasteless and greasy. Of the main courses, the two pies - chicken and steak - were very nice, the steak we had was slightly underdone and closer to rare than medium rare. The taste of the pizza we had was slightly overwhelmed by tomato flavouring. The two desserts - eton mess and apple and fruit crumble with custard were very nice. Overall a very enjoyable experience but with some shortcomings.

Went to Bush yesterday for the first time in a while for Sunday lunch and found just as good as ever. Great welcome from management and staff, great atmosphere, friendly staff and lovely food. What more can I say other than we will be back

Had amazing food and wine , shared with family from all over great reunion , normally I would have put on photos but was to good to stop eating and I’d had a few good wines by then I loved the houmous, and it was like a fried soda bread to dip yummy … the pudding was the favourite of mine coffee ice cream with espresso over the top was to die for ! , many had steak and it was like melted butter to eat so tender the chips were fabulous also a highlight for me also was the carrot and the broccoli never tasted a vegetable so good 😊 thank you to the staff who treated us so attentively made our visit even more special would highly recommend and I can’t wait to revisit !🥂🙏🏻❤️

Small country pub with good atmosphere and decent food. The chicken pie was really delicious, would definitely recommend. The blue cheese pizza was only ok. First piece was good, but by the second, the crust was overwhelmed by the toppings and soggy.

Avoid ... We pre booked well in advance for a special birthday lunch. My Mum is elderly and quite frail. When we arrived the restaurant was empty. We were seated right next to the main doorway where there was a real breeze, uncomfortable chairs and it was cold and drafty. I was particularly concerned for my Mum. We politely asked if they could re-seat us and received a brisk reply "Sorry NO" There were numerous empty and more comfortable and suitable tables around us (in fact we wete the only ones there) and there was absolutely no thought or consideration for my Mum. We waited 50 minutes for our food. The waiters were constantly gossiping at the bar and paid no attention. They served the food and couldn't even confirm if my mother's meat was beef when she asked as it looked very pale! . After our main course we waited a long time before service again. We then ordered ice cream and a pot of tea. We waited again a very long time for icecream and they were not busy. They forgot the tea all together and then unbelievably brought a cup with a tea bag floating in it- at the same time as the bill! The owner paid no interest to our complaints and seemed to be more interested in chatting to locals at the bar. We were so disappointed as we had pre-booked and it was a special occasion. Never going back.

They tried to charge me over £14 for a pint of HPA beer and bottle of Heineken 0% lager topped up with lemonade. When I challenged the price is was amended to £11.50. Having been a frequent visitor of the bush I won't be going back at those prices.

A beautiful little pub, inside and out. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. I intended to try out a few bits on their menu as it looked very nice, albeit a little on the pricier side. I ordered the chorizo starter as well as the focaccia with balsamic and oil. For my main I ordered the beef burger. I had two pints, one Guinness, and a cider, both of which were reasonably priced. My overall opinion of the food was that it is very average- it was okay. For the price of some of the dishes, I expected a lot more. The chorizo starter was incredibly overpriced for what was received- it ended up being more of a cheesy paste with a hint of chorizo. To spend almost £10 on two balls of essentially a chorizo flavoured ball was very disappointing and worrying when the aioli sauce is the best part. The focaccia was nice, the balsamic and oil tasty and reasonably priced for what you received. The burger, again, was very average. The quality of the meat was poor, and the sauces included on the burger were likely to cover the lack of flavour of the meat. The patties were not tasty and, again, it’s worthing when the sauce is tastier than the main item. The onion rings and veg included were delish, the triple cooked chips were very bland. With such thick chips, the salt I applied to the outside couldn’t compensate for the unseasoned potatoes. In total, I spent £40 on food and drinks, and left a little disappointed. A very average experience- I had high hopes looking at their menu but it seems to be another pub which has a fancy menu, high prices, and food which doesn’t match up. If you’re going to charge £10 for two fried balls of chorizo flavoured cheese, you have to deliver. If these were £5-6, I wouldn’t have minded as much, but premium prices come with high expectations. I will definitely come back in the winter to sit by the glorious fire place and stay for just a pint this time around.

Best meal we have had in a while! Brilliant service by the Sunday lunch team. Can't wait to return!

Absolutely poorest meal in a long time. Been here previously and was good. This Sunday Father’s Day was appalling. Chef - you killed the beef. The whole table didn’t finish the meals. The waitress asked if anything was wrong and reported it back. Was offered fresh beef but the meals were finished apart from the meat. So difficult to cut, tough as leather to eat and loads of fat. Table close to us also complaining their meal was poor. Sorry, but we won’t be back for Sunday lunches / special occasions. It did spoil the celebration. The good bit. Location is good. Premises is very nice. Staff are fantastic.

Beautiful pub inside and out. Very friendly staff couldn’t have asked for better service, helpful all round and were brilliant with our 15 month old son. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant if you’re looking tor cheap pub grub, prices are higher than your average pub...

Lunch ruined by an officious manager insisting on carding my 21 year old at the table when we ordered a beer with Sunday lunch, then digging her heels in - and even writing down his passport details! - when I expressed surprise, bearing in mind...

Really lovely visit last week to The Bush. Friendly, attentive staff who looked after us well. Chicken and ham pie was excellent and the chunky fries were lovely. Will definitely call in again if we are in the area.

Great food, attentive service and friendly staff Good choice of plant based food too Highly recommended

We have been here numerous times - sometimes just 2 or 3 of us, sometimes in a larger family group - sometimes for a special occasion, and sometimes just because we want a good meal and we know we'll get that at the Bush Inn....

Food was incredible and the staff couldn't do enough for us. Highly recommended. (Only negative: child's pizza was £9. But a very impressive pizza despite the price.)

Another lovely lunch at the Bush Inn. We highly recommend as the food, ambience and very friendly staff made it a special day. Big thanks to Liz and her team.

The rooms either side of the bar are lovely. The back room with the bay window is tired. We had Sunday lunch and it was so disappointing. I couldn’t recommend I’m afraid. Disappointing as when I visited a few years ago, it was great.

Treated to Sunday lunch by daughter and son-in-law with grandsons. Fantastic meal, wonderful welcome in beautiful surroundings. Staff attentive but discreet and time taken to chat to little boys. Some posh restaurants in Cardiff should take a visit and see how to do it well.

I recently had lunch at the Bush Inn following a recommendation. I was disappointed. The room was cold and the upholstery on the chair at our table was filthy. I ordered a bottle of dry white wine. It arrived in an ice bucket but it...

Lovely pub and great friendly staff. Plenty of choice for food and generous portions. I had a really super burger and gorgeous chips. Would very much recommend.

Popular restaurant. Food is good. Prices are fine. Needs more atmosphere - some music - as dining areas can be quiet. Service excellent.

We came as a family group of 8 and sat it the covered area in the garden. The food was simply superb and every single member if staff was on the ball and helpful. Thank you - a great place for Sunday lunch!

A group of five of us enjoyed a delicious lunch today.The customer service,food and welcome was excellent and will definitely be returning.

We hired a private pod for a joint birthday celebration last October. I am still dreaming about the Sunday roast I ordered. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and it was nice to have a variety of dishes on the menu for our family members...

Easy booking, very accommodating, quick service, very efficient. Excellent standard of cuisine. Will certainly be returning. We were in the bar area, because we had a dog with us. The outside garden area also looked very inviting. Plenty of parking, and a superb setting.

Somebody sucked the warmth and friendliness out of this once great pub. Sunday lunch still lovely, but shame theres no atmosphere any more. Used to be really warm and friendly. Not now/.

Friendly, helpful staff lovely seating area outside! Credit to the chef & staff the food was great both times and really delicious. Our family now live locally so will look forward to returning soon!

Excellent Meal with friendly, attentive service! We both had the Welsh beef burgers and they were delicious. I am a fussy eater, and they were happy to adjust the ingredients. The triple cooked chips were so good, we ordered an extra portion! Really cosy inside....

Fantastic evening again, lovely food and atmosphere. The staff are so attentive and professional you feel a valued customer

We visited the Bush Inn yesterday for the first time…the village is lovely…very charming and chocolate box…the pub was also lovely….we sat in the snug with the slate floors and the log burner and I imagine in the winter it would be so welcoming…the staff were all excellent and the customer service was first class. The food was delicious. We had belly pork and chorizo bonbons to start and we both had the chicken curry pie which was delicious. We had fully intended to have a dessert but the portions are very generous so we were just too full for pudding! We thought it was very good value for money and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit so much we have just booked for Christmas week… if you haven’t been, I would thoroughly recommend it.

Having just returned from a birthday celebration at The Bush I have to express my gratitude to the staff for making a family celebration so memorable. we were a family of 13 & 3 included children so we took advantage of the outside area ,so pleased we did as the children had freedom to move about. The food was outstanding with a varied menu ,everything came at the same time & was excellent.The staff from booking to serving were very helpful cannot praise this place enough & will definitely be returning . Thanks again.

Nice setting but the food seemed expensive for what we had . Member of family had the vegan tart which was disappointing though nice to see a vegan option

Visited the picturesque village of St. Hilary's for the first time today. Beautiful. A friend of ours, who lives locally, had mentioned that the Bush was a great place to visit for food. As we were in the neighborhood today we decided to book a table online for two for lunch. Excellent, friendly service and our order was taken promptly. Plenty of choice on the menu and I could have chosen quite a few of the dishes. Food arrived in about 20 minutes and looked so appetising. Indeed it was delicious especially the triple cooked chips. I had the battered cod and chips and my husband ordered the beefburger. Plenty of food on the plates.No room for a dessert today so I cannot comment on the quality or value for money for the sweets.I thought that the desserts were a tad expensive compared to the price of the main meals. We will definitely return to the Bush when visiting the area in the future.Our bill for two meals and drinks came to £35.Diolch.

I was there last night with a party of six to celebrate a birthday. The food was great - two burgers , two pizzas and the lamb roast . All cooked well and tasty. However , when it came to pudding , I was given dairy ice cream despite ordering non-dairy. This was compounded by the fact it was me that noticed the error - had I not tasted the difference , it would have gone unnoticed . This is worrying . There have been many stories recently of people dying due to reactions to foods they are allergic to but are fed by inattentive or ignorant staff. It makes me question the validity of the other dairy free food I have ordered earlier in the meal - and this is also a concern for anyone thinking of going - can they be trusted to serve you what you order? On this occasion , no.They were good when informed and comped the puddings - however, they dodged a bullet as if it had been an allergy, they would currently be facing civil action

Lovely hot meals 3 roast and 2 pies. Beef was well done, otherwise meals were excellent. Slow service probably due to covid. Cards do not accept tips! Pity as staff lost out.

Lovely little ‘country’ pub not far from cowbridge. We had a lovely Sunday lunch outside under cover and with the infrared heaters keeping us warm and dry in the rain. The outdoor garden is brilliant and they also seemed to have pods at the front to dine in. The food left little to desire and we all had a great time. The staff were super pleasant too! Only downside was the expense of our lunch but we would definitely come back as a treat.

We had a lovely cheerful greeting on arrival and were shown to our table. Our order was taken by a very pleasant young lady and our drinks and food were served promptly. Our meals of sirloin steak and lamb home made pie were delicious. Portion size was just right. A bit more pricey than expected but overall a lovely experience. Thank you to all the staff

The staff were friendly and helpful and it's a lovely looking pub. However I have given a 3 star rating as the portion sizes did not match the expensive prices for everything especially the mains despite the quality being OK.

Such a lovely place to visit. Staff are very sweet, helpful and can't do enough for their customers... Even when we have some odd requests (veg as a starter!) . Four of us ate today and all ordered different starters, mains and a couple of puds. A little pricey however, great food all round, excellent service and a beautiful location. We all really enjoyed and will all be back.

We visited last night as restaurant was recommended to us. Beautiful building with parking to the front and rear. Was quite busy so struggled to park. Initial experience-On entering the bar, staff were pleasant and we were seen to our table situated in the garden. Dog friendly garden with tables nicely spaced. Our table was under a canopy and had a heater,something which the missus was happy with (she's a freezer!). Our drinks order was taken promptly and we browsed the menu. The drinks took a while to come but an apology accompanied them. We ordered our starter. I opted for the fried hake and my partner, the prawn flatbread. After around 30 minutes, we were looking for a staff member to ask if we'd been forgotten about. Another table table had arrived and ordered after us had recieved their food.There were clearly not enough staff working. I caught the attention of a server and I asked about our food. After 5 minutes she returned with our started, apologised and gave a free round of drinks. Food-The food was well presented and looked appetising. I tucked in to my deep fried hake in anticipation for the meaty white goodness within. The batter was crispy but unseasoned. The hake was slightly over cooked and a little dry. The yuzu mayo was lacking in.....well yuzu and the few capers failed to add the saltiness I was looking for. Overall a bland dish. My partner had the prawn flatbread. She offered me some to try. I took a bite and was met with a lovely lime pickle but then an incredibly doughy bread. On closer inspection, the flat bread was not cooked. No where near. The crust was charred and crispy, the centre was soggy and had the consistency of cheese. We informed the server who took it off the bill. Main course was a chicken, ham, and leek pie and steak, blue cheese and Guiness pie. The triple cooked chips were lovely but lacked seasoning. The carrot and broccoli stems which accompanied were nicely cooked and these were seasoned and buttered. The pie crust was beautifully cooked and crispy. The beef in the pie was like butter and falling apart. The sauce could have done with a touch more Guinness for the bitterness and (a lot) more blue cheese. After I unfortunately ate the bit at the top, the cheese was gone and I was left searching for flavour again. Again, I sampled the other half's main. With the same crispy crust she was happy. The chicken was nicely cooked with huge pieces of diced ham. But again an unseasoned sauce let the dish down. We didn't risk desert and left after paying the bill. We felt a little forgotten about at the back of the garden. Although very pleasant, the staff seemed a little overwhelmed by the sheer spread of tables. To boot there are individual dining pods which I'm sure take primacy as these incur an extra fee. Overall not a bad experience, just a disappointing one. There is so much potential here. And with a bit more attention to detail, more attentiveness to diners and more (a lot more) seasoning this could be a real standout place.

I understand that the hospitality business have suffered over the last 15 months but so have we! We've been furloughed (luckily) and therefore salary reduced over that period. The prices weren't too bad but the quantity was questionable for those prices. Starters were from £8 and the prawn flatbread was 2 prawns and very doughy flatbread! The main course of lambs breast although tasty was £19 with a miserable slice of Dauphinoise potato, 2 carrots and 3 stems of broccoli. On top of that a Diet fizzy drink was £3.80! This was lunch so I hate to think what their evening meals would cost.

Impressed by the measures esp the spacing of tables. Less impressed there was not a one in one out policy on the toilets though as expected with the rest of the venue precautions and instead the toilets were crowded. Food was great! We all had pies. Dessert a bit disappointing with the vanilla ice cream half melted and tasteless. But the toffee one is delicious!Will return!

What a wonderful Sunday lunch we had today. Our first family meal out in over a year and what an excellent choice. We were warmly greeted and taken to our cabin. It was personal, bespoke and perfect in every way. We immediately felt at home. The staff were discreet and attentive to our needs. Our girls opted for pizzas, of course they did, that’s better than Sunday lunch mum! I had Roast beef and my husband had Roast belly pork, followed by ice cream, crumble and an exquisite Irish coffee. San Miguel and a few delightful glasses of Malbec, we left full, contented and with a desire to return very soon. The cabins are beautifully decorated, extremely welcoming and luxurious. A must in our book!

I recently had my wedding reception at The Bush Inn after being let down last minute by another venue. The Bush staff agreed to host us for an outdoor reception in the eleventh hour and they could not have been more accommodating. From the first phone call with Liz, to the countless emails with Chelsea and final details meeting with Andy, every moment was faultless. We had the most amazing day at The Bush and all of our guest commented on how attentive all the staff were, how INCREDIBLE the food was (especially the famous Bush Inn pies) and how wonderful the outdoor space looked. I wish we could relive the day all over again, it was truly perfect!!My new husband and I can’t wait to return!! If you’re thinking of visiting this pub, DO IT!

I cannot understand people complaining about the measures in place at the bush. The bush is the only place we have eaten out at since march and that's because of how safe we felt there. The food is excellent and the service good. Pizzas were fantastic. We were really impressed by everything the pub were doing in terms of safety and food - dont let the negative reviews put you off.

Have just enjoyed a fabulous Sunday roast beef dinner - collected for “home consumption”. So much beef with roast potatoes fresh veg fit for a king and lovely gravy. Will be placing another order very soon. I was also most impressed with the steps being taken to protect patrons and staff. Sanitising “station” at entrance especially well located. Diolch/Thanks.

We visited on the last night The Bush were open before they had to shut for the Welsh ‘firebreak’. We had a great evening. All four of us ordered different starters and mains and we all really enjoyed everything. Service was excellent and staff very polite and attentive without hovering over us. We were sad to hear people on the table next to us complaining loadly about the lack of draft beer available (there was plenty of bottled beet to choose from!). They clearly had no concept that the pub had to shut that evening for 2 weeks! Also sad to see people complaining on here about the Covid arrangements. As I see it, they are doing their best to ensure people feel safe when visiting (don’t forget there are lots of different views on this) and that they comply with WAG guidelines (£10,000 fine if they don’t!). We will be back to visit just as soon as they open again - can’t wait.

We had a take away from The Bush a few weeks ago, only now getting around to writing review- appologies for the delay, but felt a review was still needed. The food was WONDERFUL, excellent portion sizes, very well presented and tasted amazing. We had main and dessert and would thoroughly recommend! We look forward to ordering again soon, many thanks, keep up the fantastic work xxxx

We have been to the Bush Inn many times and have always enjoyed the atmosphere and welcome, as well as the varied menu. Sadly, on this occasion we were very disappointed. The pub was underheated (no fire lit in main room) and the service level was disappointing given the small number of patrons in the pub . The menu was very limited for a non-carnivore.Whilst accepting that all establishments now have to pay attention to Covid-19 regulations, we felt that the response at the Bush was disproportionate compared to most competing establishments - yellow tape on the floor reminiscent of factory health and safety walkways, large and bossy signage, over-complicated and condescending set of Covid-19 rules on the table, plastic chairs in the restaurant. A more measured approach might be preferable if the Bush is going to retain its clientele through and after the pandemic.We will go back sometime, we hope - but not anytime soon.

- broken table- filthy carpet- 1 paper menu for 4 people- patronising (2 sided) list of rules- ridiculous pricing £7+ bruschetta/ garlic bread- dirty toilets - sub-standard Sunday lunchWhat is the point in the waitresses tying their hair back if the chef doesn’t? More concerning is leaving fresh un-refrigerated produce out in the sun...If we hadn’t skipped breakfast and if it was just my wife and I, we would not have stayed.Anywhere else would have been better

Really good quality and value. Food and service were excellent and there was a nice atmosphere in the restaurant as it was fairly busy despite being early evening. We really appreciated how much information we had about their COVID procedures when we arrived and how well organised the pub was. Very responsible in the current circumstances! The staff still manage to make it a pleasant experience. Thanks

First time out to eat since lockdown and to meet friends we haven’t seen since Christmas. We felt very very safe the whole set up was excellent and all information very easy to understand and follow. Lunch was excellent the beef tender and very tasty couldn’t fault anything all the staff were brilliant . Thank you to everyone.

We went for Sunday Roast didn’t enjoy at all. Firstly we were greeted with a headache-inducing list of Covid safety requirements, of which I’ve seen less requirements at two local general hospitals. We had to order via a QR code which resembled an IQ test, and the Sunday roast wasn’t even listed to order and therefore my boyfriend plucked up the courage to the break the very rules they’d put in place to speak to a member of staff to order food!The service there on was bad, my food came out before the drinks, coming to the table within 5 minutes of ordering. As a coeliac, I’ve always enjoyed going to this pub given their focus on dietary requirements and gluten free options. When the food did arrive it wasn’t GF despite efforts made before and on the day to inform them. The plate was taken away no apology offered and replaced with a meager meal, having sampled various Sunday roast in the local area, can safely say this is the poorest quality. Even in these different times when everybody is adapting, I don’t think this was an acceptable and we left as quickly as possible.Overall, the impression we got was that they actually didn’t want really want to be there and by the end of it I certainly didn’t want to be there.Other businesses have reopened safely but still with a warm welcome it’s a shame they haven’t.

We visited yesterday for Sunday lunch, very disappointing as the beef was overcooked and tough, also very few veg and swimming in gravy, we have always had good food her but this is the second time in a few weeks and it has definitely gone down hillI think £2.60 for a small plastic bottle of water is really outrageous I couldn’t fault the staff but we will not be returning, the Aubrey arms just down the road is much better and cheaper

Visited The Bush for a birthday drink, with the mind to perhaps order some food, two Saturdays ago. Was slightly alarmed at the first thing which one sees at the entrance to the pub - a four-foot blackboard outlining their "toilet procedure" - hardly a warm welcome, but we persevered anyway. There appeared to be only the option to sit outside, despite the fact that the pub inside was empty (and this was mid-pm, after the lunchtime rush). On sitting at our table we were faced with two A4 sheets of paper - one was the menu, the other was a 16-point "code of conduct", along with another iteration of the aforementioned toilet procedure. So much for a relaxing environment. Just felt like complete overkill in a country pub which we've used before. Treating customers like biohazards might be tolerated in the city centre, but is it appropriate here? We left after one drink. I'm sure that the venue will respond with claims that they have no choice but to enact these measures due to government guidelines. To which I'll reply: no! It is your choice how dystopian you want your business to come across as. We visited several of your competitors on the same day, and the approach taken in all of them was a lot more "normal" while conforming to safety guidelines. Very sad, as we've visited before but will be in no hurry to return while the "hospitality" element seems to have taken a back seat to box-ticking.

A pub we have visited many times in the past for drinks and food. Visited twice in the last few weeks and unfortunately found the place quite unwelcoming. when we asked for a table found the staff member very rude and abrupt and acted like we were an inconvenience for even being there....As a result we stayed for 1 drink and left. It’s actually quite sad as we have decided we won’t be returning and found other friendlier Independent pubs in the vale that do want our support during these difficult times.

Been visiting the bush inn for a few years now. We'd always come for the pies but we heard during lockdown they started doing pizza. Amazing. Well managed booking and ordering system and adhering to the track and trace (which some restaurants don't seem to bother with) the pizza really is the best outside of Italy. And the easy to use online ordering system was great!please keep the pizzas going as we will be returning not just for the pies but the great authentic pizza in future.

Great little pub we found by accident. Friendly staff and excellent food. Would definitely recommend the wood fired pizzas!

We stayed in Llysworney last week and had the Bush Inn recommended to us by friends, and it did not disappoint!!We had a lovely meal and drinks in the pub which is most definitely worth a visit. Inside the pub is so lush, very clean, they serve great food and drinks and the staff are fantastic.The next time we are back in the Vale of Glamorgan we will definitely be making a trip to The Bush Inn...

It's all pretty basic at the moment, and provided you're ok with that, it's a pleasant experience. Local businesses need our support to survive the current restrictions, and with the imminent threat in the media of pubs having to close again to keep schools open, life must be really tough for owners.Food is served in cardboard boxes, burgers, pizzas, and drinks are in plastic glasses. Pizzas are good, chips well cooked, burgers ok.Having been twice, once with eat out to help out, the discount makes for a very good value meal out.Staff are all masked and very covid-focussed, and for many people this will be very reassuring, although it seems very clinical when compared to our recent experience in Bills (Cardiff Bay).That being said, can we live with that at the moment - yes, absolutely; is this sustainable in the medium term - no, defintely not. The staff and management have shown themselves to be very adaptable and committed in the past, and hopefully they'll move through this successfully

Came to the Bush Inn with high expectations, sadly let down by poor standard of food. I had the classic burger and I could honestly say I’d make that on the bbq at home. I also had the garlic pizza bread which the dough was raw and inedible. Collectively a disappointing and overpriced meal and experience.

The Bush was recommended by another restaurant. We managed to get a table and was greeted and seated by a friendly staff member. We ordered food via their app and took advantage of the eat out to help out offer. Food arrived promptly and was all lovely. The staff were helpful throughout to all the guest and were flexible when people were unable to order and pay on-line.All in all a lovely hour or so outside enjoying food and drinks.
