You can buy chips & take then in to eat with your drinks 😍 The atmosphere & friendlyness is great. Cerys is an amazing girl & treats her staff really well. Cerys works very hard & does a really great job of keeping the pub clean & welcoming 🍻🥂

It's a nice traditional pub with a shout out in Gavin and Stacey. There's alot of history in The Park and its recently been refurbished so it's looking good! I've given the food a 5 star but I haven't tried it if they do food, just didn't want to tarnish their score with a 0. The drinks are affordable and they show sporting events. They also have live music regularly and have a skittles lane. The beer garden is lovely now it's all done up and there's an up-stairs area. All in all, a nice little local.

We recently celebrated my wife's 50th birthday in the upstairs function room. The room is brilliant a great size, great decor and with private bar. The staff were amazing nothing was too much trouble. If you have a special event give the Park a go you will not be disappointed.

I would give it less than 1 star if I could. The place allows anyone and everyone to drink and then drive themselves home, that’s clearly not safe. They don’t tell people to be quiet and don’t keep the place, surroundings and atmosphere under control. For example, at 10:20pm, everyone from that pub is shouting and screaming, while still drinking as much as possible (and yes that IS under the pub staff’s control). You can hear the place from streets away, and if you use common knowledge and the tiniest bit of empathy, you’d understand how irritating, tiring and irresponsible that is. SORT IT OUT!!

Had a 50th birthday party at the Park for my husband. We hired the back bar. Staff were so helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend this place for either a good night out or hire the back bar for a birthday party. Will definitely use them again. 👍🏻

We stopped here to watch the rugby while in Barry. Very busy but great atmosphere in a massive pub. The cask ale was really good, with 3/4 hand pumps on. They weren't doing food but allowed us to bring chips in from the local chip shop which was great. Really quick and friendly service

My local and favourite pub in Barry. Always a warm welcome, friendly staff who get to know everyone’s name and always ask how you are. They also have great events with something going on most weeks whether is live bands, karaoke, quiz, etc. as well as showing all the sport. They’ve had a recent refurb and it looks amazing. This pub has something for everyone - proper pub atmosphere at the front with a quiet bar at the back and function/pool room upstairs. Gorgeous, large beer garden out the back for the summer months. 10/10 would recommend! In my eyes, the heart of Barry.

Not a bad pub good ales and lagers clean tidy great bar staff.Why oh why always horse racing on the tv when there is golf sports etc.A lot of bad language we just don’t need it and vaping but nothing is done about it why not Brains management take note.Also grab handles for the elderly when you’re using the small room of the bar.Once the refurb is completed let’s see if the manger ups his game??? Or carries on as normal watch this space.

I love the Park. Always a good atmosphere, especially for the sport. You don't get many pubs where you can just banter with the bloke queueing at the bar next to you. We were here for the rugby but then wanted to watch the football after, but there was another rugby game, so they put the football on upstairs just for us. We had the whole bar to ourselves! Which was great because then we could watch West Ham without the shame of people knowing we're watching West Ham. One downside was the choice of beers. No Barry's Island IPA. Surley that's a crime in Barry?

I know this local "haunt" very well, but not been there for a couple of years. Interesting place - known as a "scoring" zone (not Soccer) if you know what I mean. Service was not geared to the casual client, guest or tourista, but more suited to the frequent casual and heavy drinkers in the evenings and weekends. "It's a local's local for local people - and there's nothing for the likes of you other lot here!!!" I would get served in about 15 to 20 mins, local's locals service in 1 to 3 mins. But it is what it is. Beer was always perfect cellar temperature, lagers cold and refreshing so the beverages were top notch and the range of beers excellent. The reason I gave this 2 of 5 stars were for the reasons above - huge problem with any local bar, and the fact it's very edgy and iffy as bars go. It just has that atmosphere that if I visited in uniform, half the bar would run out the back door or jump through windows. Photos of half eaten pizza and cheese fries with close-ups of glasses of beer says it all. Gritty Pub !!!

This pub has been bought by the villagers. It’s is wonderful in so many ways. Cowbridge seems to be a black hole of decent food aside from the hare and hounds and maple and bean. This felt like a proper community pub in the 90s. The staff were all amazing. The food was amazing. There wasn’t a 400% markup on rubbish wine. The service as great. The atmosphere was lovely. Great starters of crab and squid were followed by perfectly cooked steak. The doughnuts with custard cream and strawberries were lovely. No rip off frozen food or “small plates” that nobody likes here. Go and support places like this. The rest of cowbridge eateries need to up their game.

We have been visiting the Casa Paco restaurant for a few years. Each meal is better than the last and we’re always made to feel welcome. The meals are consistently high standard, I can’t wait to go again. We had many deliveries in lockdown and they were always piping hot and fresh. Karen and the team are wonderful hosts and cannot do enough for us. My favourite it the fillet steak and Rossini sauce - highly recommend!
