The Captains Wife in The Vale of Glamorgan

Excellent food Very friendly staff Beautiful location Very clean and tidy I will definitely Recommend the captain‘s wife to my friends and family👍

Great staff, great service, great atmosphere!!! Would recommend to all ❤️

Great experience- Johanna was a great server! Food was delicious, I had the beef brisket sandwich and chips!

Had a fantastic meal with friends. Food and service was on point! Thanks Johanna for looking after us, made our night.

What a beautiful pub set in a beautiful location. The staff were very polite and welcoming and the food was perfect. Very reasonably priced as well. Just one small negative comment, I think the gents toilet requires some TLC.

Absolutely delicious food served by a lovely waitress Johanna. Highly recommend

Lovely dinner, amazing food, perfect service. Loved it! Thanks Sam and Mike!

Popped in for lunch after a nice walk along the coastal front. Team was lovely! Food was amazing! Definitely coming again.

Amazing food and service, thank you to Mike and Sam!!

The atmosphere here was amazing. The food was lovely and Johanna was an excellent server. I will definitely be back here soon and recommend to all!

Such lovely vibes in this place. The food was tasty and the service Johanna provided was excellent. Deffo recommend!

Great service, superb atmosphere, good food,

Highly disappointing and expensive skewers - £19.95 for the first one, £8.95 for a second. Unfortunately, both the Lamb and Prawn skewers I had were overcooked (not ‘tender pieces of lamb’ as advertised) and tough to eat. The pub atmosphere itself was pleasant enough, the staff were attentive, but the external decor is in need of improvement (eg plaster cracking and a broken old cupboard just left outside the entrance) and it was cold throughout the whole of the interior. We sat next to the lit fireplace but as it hadn’t been fully lit it didn’t provide that much warmth. The potential for this place is huge…imagine a roaring fireplace in a nicely decorated pub with reasonable-priced and well-cooked food; as it’s right on the coast people would be queuing out the door! Sadly we could see why this was not the case. C’mon Vintage Inns, up your game and make this pub the same high standard of most of your others!

Fabulous venue, excellent food and superb service. Can't fault it!

The food was brilliant and the service was excellent. Well done!

We felt unwelcome by both the female staff on entering the pub , won't be visiting again, one other thing ,the tables weren't cleared of dishes etc after some diners had left for over an hour .

1st time eating here and i have to say everything was brilliant, the food was beautiful (my only complaint would be the base of the pizza was very thin and therefore a little burnt). Other than that, my beef bourguignon was absolutely perfect and cooked beautifully. The duck pizza (other than the base) was amazing. Price were from £17-£30 for a meal. But it's definitely worth the price. Beautiful location being right onto a beach. All of the staff were lovley. Overall, it is definitely worth a visit.

We had an incredible experience at The Captains Wife From start to finish, everything was perfect. Our server, Johanna, was absolutely fantastic—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. She made great recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the service was top-notch. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Johanna, for making our visit so special!

Excellent food with great service we'll be coming back.

Johanna was our waitress today she was amazing very helpful thank you.

Great location and cosy atmosphere. Nice touch that you can bring your dog inside also and snacks provided for your fury friend. Food is nice but a bit over priced we felt for the amount of food you get. Service was good although a little slow at the start to take food order. Lovely views of the sea and sully point and you can have a walk on the beach.

Have been here a few times in recent weeks and the food, service and atmosphere were fantastic. Going again tomorrow! I had the belly pork which was amazing! Definitely recommend.

Very good food and fantastic service by Johanna!

Roast always good, great service from Leanne

Great food and great service from our waitress Leanne!

Johanna was very friendly and helpful and food was very nice

Delicious food, excellent service! Had a table with a view of Sully island. Brilliant for our 4 year old daughter too, great kids menu

Had a lovely Sunday dinner with family. Leanne was a lovely waitress and was very efficient. Would happily come back. Thank you

We enjoyed a delicious lunch here today. The food was amazing and the service by Johanna was efficient and welcoming. There was such a lovely choice on offer, including options for my veggie husband. We hope to visit again soon!

Was a great meal with my girlfriend, great food, nice environmental. And great service from Johanna.

Good service and reasonable prices. Very enjoyable.

Johanna served us super professionally and politely, was super helpful. I had the hunters chicken and my partner had pie of the day, both were delicious.

The area I chose was the dog area, but I don’t have a dog, but think it’s the nicest area. Lucky for us there was no one in that area and it was lovely and warm on such a cold windy night. Although my favourite meal was not available, nor my 2nd choice, my 3rd choice tasted very nice. My husband was delighted, that we were told that the steak was half price, so he chose that and was very pleased with it, as it was cooked how he had asked for it.

Nice quality food great atmosphere with amazing views

Lovely time, enjoyable in every respect, served by the delightful Johanna who worked very hard

Great location, tasty food and attentive friendly service from Johanna, who looked after us despite the venue being busy.

service great, food terrible overpriced 17.50 for a burger that was terrible dry hard terribly overpriced

Really good food, roaring fire, great service from Johanna, recommended.

Excellent Service from Leanne made sure we had a nice time aswell as a perfect seating area by the fire for our sons 15th . Also and additional cake and designed happy birthday decal on a wooden plater . Always a pleasure and we will always come back .

Lovely birthday lunch! And Leanne always gives us her special treatment. Clean, homely, lovely food. Best in the area.

Always a lovely meal with excellent service and the view from the pub across the Bristol channel is amazing.

Lovely food, friendly service. We come here regularly. Leanne and Louise are an absolute credit.

Excellent service by the amazing Leanne

Enjoyed starters and dessert, the service from Johanna was first class, and nothing was too much trouble for 6 picky women 🤣

Really nice meals usually go for lunch. We have been served by the lovely Johanna a few times now several times. Fantastic!!!

Had a fantastic meal at The Captain’s Wife recently! The service from Johanna was absolutely exceptional – she was so kind, attentive, and made us feel incredibly welcome. It’s rare to come across someone who truly goes above and beyond, but she did just that! The food was great, both in quality and presentation. Even better, the mains were reasonably priced, especially with the 50% discount. It was an all-around wonderful experience, and I’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

Easy parking and really nice traditional pub feeling including roaring fire. Situated right by the River Severn with fantastic views over the estuary. Very helpful and friendly service. Plenty of tables (mostly occupied). We all had superb meals from an extremely wide menu of inticing dishes. Excellent coffee to follow. Can't wait to return.

Great food, service is a tad slow as with all hospitality staff shortages plus the location may not help but a great time had by all

Lloyd was absolutely brilliant. Thank you

Myself, my sister and her friend came to the Captains wife for lunch to celebrate my sisters birthday. We started off with a bottle of Prosecco after being seated to our booked table, prosecco was brought to our table along with glasses with strawberries. We then had our orders taken by Lou (name on receipt) who was very polite & prompt with taking our orders and bringing our drinks to us. Food didn’t take long to arrive and was absolutely gorgeous! Lou then took our dessert order which when they came had a lovely surprise added for my sister with a “happy birthday” message added to her plate by the staff solely at their own discretion which made my sisters day. She absolutely loved it. Overall our visit was fantastic and we can’t wait to come again.

We had a lovely family meal at the Captains Wife today. The food was wonderful and there was a nice cosy atmosphere.We received brilliant service from Johanna, she was very attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend!

Food was lovely had three courses and all three were tasty and well presented. Thank you to Johanna our server who was excellent :)

Lovely atmosphere and setting. Seabass dish was delicious and fresh. Staff very helpful and friendly. Please pass on our thanks!

It was well worth a visit today to the Captains Wife in Sully for Lunch. The surroundings and menu were excellent and the food very tasty and well presented. The drinks glasses were sparkling! Always a good sign! Lloyd who looked after us today was lovely. He was good at his job and made us feel very welcome. We are planning to return soon.

Welcoming, efficient, good food

3 of us went today for a family lunch. It was busy but not overly so. It took 2 hours for us to consume a 2 course meal. It took 20 minutes from ordering our drinks for them to arrive, starters were all nice but they had run out of many options on the menu, the vegetarian choice was tiny and when, eventually, the mains arrived they were luke warm at best. We ate because we were ravenous by that point. Overall, very disappointed.

It's changed over the years but still a good place to go for a cosy atmosphere and good food.

Very disappointed with Xmas day experience overall

Suprise 30th birthday party. Food was excellent quality and plenty of it. The staff were both very friendly and helpful, making sure it was a great evening. Would definitely recommend as one of the best in Cardiff.

Robbie the chef who cooked my steak was perfect and all around amazing service was tier will visit again soon thanks

Was a smashing visit. The food was absolutely superb, the drinks delicious and the staff super nice.

Nice pub with great friendly staff. Good selection nof beers and real ales but it's a bit on the expensive beside. We didn't eat but what others had looked nice.

Hi, after visiting you for a lovely tea we decided to bring our granddaughter for Sunday lunch. The food looked lovely but was cold. Childrens menu needs to be looked at as our 4year old was given an adult meal when we specifically ordered from the children's menu. Staff were attentative and atmosphere pleasant.

What a wonderful experience fabulous well looked after by Leanne food superb a must place to come wow Brill

Excellent food, and excellent service from Leanne.

Lovely food and a fine bar selection in relaxed atmosphere. Great for mid week lunch escapes as quite quiet; weekends, particularly in high season, can get busy. Plenty of parking and good views out over the channel (nice that the 'beach' is being cleared too). Outdoor seating is nice in the summer, if a touch breezy being on the coast, and there's a children's play area. Dog friendly bar dining area too; bonus points :) Fireplace isn't just for show; it's a lovely live feature in the colder months and is fabulously festive around Santa Time. Our latest visit was particularly lush; a last minute Sunday lunch booking to lead us into the madness of the season (December '24). The steak and venison pie comes highly recommend, as does the bramley apple and mince pie crumble! Bit full now though... We were looked after very nicely thank you by our host Katy, and we'll probably be back for more soon. NB. Car reg needs poking into the tablet by the door on entry, to appease the parking gods.

I've been a regular diner at The Captain's Wife for years, but last night's experience was incredibly disappointing. I paid nearly £17 for fish and chips, only to be served a plate with no more than 13 chips, and they were barely warm. There's been a strong downward trend with this place over the last year.

very nice food (especially the Banoffe choux bun) atmosphere was great very lively food came suprisingly quick

Just here for drinks this time. Past experience with food has been excellent. Limited bar seating. Pleasant and efficient staff.

Had lovely Food, the Fish and chips were perfect crispy batter and crispy chips fluffy inside. Service was great from Leanne.

We really enjoyed the festive menu and Johanna our waitress was absolutely fantastic. She couldn’t do enough for us.

Beautiful location, lovely atmosphere, great experience. Highly recommended.

Lovely food, and our waitress Leanne was amazing x

Service was dreadful. Our waiter wore dirty black jeans & trainers. He just dumped a pile of cutlery on the table & when he brought the wine to the table he just put it in the middle unopened & really couldn’t care less. The starters were small & not worth the money but the main courses were ok.

Great pub lovely atmosphere and great service

Lovely meal of fish and chips. Wonderful service from Johanna.

Mark the head chef made me a cracking meal for lunch

2025 - Getting better as the time goes by. Even the smiles are getting wider. We enjoyed our food and atmosphere. 2019 - Brilliant as ever. The settings help too.

Spur of moment visit with wife .

My husband and I booked a last minute table on Monday night and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The food, especially my lasagne, was very tasty and plentiful. However, the service was the best part. We were served by Johanna and she was fab. Very kind & not too intrusive. We will definitely visit again!

Had tried to find a good dog friendly pub where we could also eat, bingo! Excellent service, dog areas, treat and water station and excellent service. Midweek treat but when next in the area we'll be back!

Johannesburg always gives a warm welcome, the service is a bonus to the great food. Will be coming back very soon for my birthday, it's nice to be spoilt and a great place to be spoilt at the captins wife 😀

Excellent service and very good food.

This was the 5th visit (30th October) we have had at The Captain's Wife and we just keep coming back.(in fact we have another table booked tomorrow) The food is outstanding, The Servers and Chefs are always helpful and accommodating for my son who has additional needs and we all love the calm welcoming atmosphere. It is worth the 1hour drive we make from Swansea each time. Thank you all 👏

Food was delicious staff very helpful and wheelchair accessible. Johanna served us and was really friendly and helpful , would definitely recommend

Expensive. Starters are out the freezer. Meal was cold and the lamb tough. Its dog friendly on another level. There was about a dozen. One lying on a table eating

A lovely place to relax and enjoy wonderful food, with a beautiful view and plenty of outdoor seating. An amazing spot to spend Sundays with a delicious Sunday roast.

1st time to visit won't be the last. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff couldn't do enough for you.

Hard to beat the location but you pay for the privilege. Food is good but pricey as pubs go.

We had a lovely lunch, food was fabulous, comfortable surroundings, and a very nice atmosphere, staff were very helpful and friendly, And also a dog friendly, with water bowls and dog biscuits.

food menu was restricted due to items on the menu out of stock no Pies and not enough burgers despite pre booking a table for 8 people .

Top hole on the food. Slightly odd smell on entering brings the score down a little. Service was excellent, but we were interrupted mid sentence twice. Atmosphere amazing - the setting is wonderful, and the real fire was appreciated. Compliments to the chef who was the real star of the evening. Exceptional meal and even the coffee and espresso cheesecake was something special. We will come again when in the area, I am sure.

Excellent service and food plus offer saved us money

Came for Sunday lunch with friends All food was excellent except my beef....inedible and my yorkshire burnt and inedible

Having stayed locally for a few days we tried The Captains Wife and found the food, service, atmosphere and views from the pub absolutely top notch. Joanna (Server to her friends!!!) gave great friendly and professional service and deserves a pay rise after putting up with me during our frequent visits!!!

Nice place to have some time with friends.

Nice Sunday lunch . Quite busy and a little noisy. Good portion size , prompt service. Veg cooked nicely .

Really nice pub with good food, Dog friendly which is a must. 27.11.2019 I've just been informed that you might have blocked the doves from their home? Can you confirm as I could not understand why a respected business would be cruel in this way. These birds are protected.

Food was delicious! Garlic and cheese mushrooms- STUNNING! I had seabass, very well presented and tasted amazing. Sauce was out of this world! My partner had halloumi fries (amazing!) And a steak- yummy! (Yes I did try ALL of the food whether mine or not!) I would rate 5 stars but there was quite a wait on food- we waited 45 min and it was a relatively quiet Monday. We will definitely return :)

Well looked after, great menu, busy atmosphere
